A Gift for the Queen — Page 23

23 shown at my hands are beyond human power. If Your Majesty, the Empress of India, Queen of Britain, should be interested, my God has the power to manifest a sign for Your Majesty which would be indicative of joy and good fortune; provided that after witness- ing the sign Your Majesty would accept my message, and that effect would be given throughout the country to the mission that I hold on behalf of Jesus. But the sign to be manifested would be according to the design of God and not according to any human design. It will, however, be extraordinary and will be reflective of the Grandeur of God. 2 Your Majesty! Please reflect with your bright cognizance, if there can be any greater disrespect in the world than to name someone renegade from God and the enemy of God, which is the implication of a curse. Therefore, how grave an insult it is that the one [ Jesus] whom the angels proclaim as ‘loved one of God’, and who emanated from the light of God, be termed as the one distanced from God and regarded as the enemy of God!! Woe that this disrespect of Jesus is embraced by 400 million people during this age! O Honoured Queen! Do this favour to Jesus, the Messiah, and God will bless you even more. I pray that may God the Almighty inspire our beneficent Queen’s heart to carry out this task. Under the influence of the Jews, during the time of Jesus, Pilate unjustly let a criminal inmate go, but not Jesus even 2. If Your Majesty should desire to witness a sign as proof of my claim, I am certain that such a sign will be shown within one year and I will also pray that she should pass all of this period in health and security. If no sign is manifested and I prove to be false, then I am willing to be hanged in Your Majesty’s capital. All this entreaty is out of my desire that our benign Queen should turn to the God of heaven, of whom the Christian faith is unaware in this age. (Author)
