328 HAQIQATUL-WAḤI—THE PHILOSOPHY OF DIVINE REVELATION O Europe! You are not safe! And O Asia! Neither are you secure! And O the dwellers of Islands! No artificial 'God' will come to your aid. I see cities falling and habitations in ruin. That One and Unique God remained silent for a long time. Abominations were committed before His eyes and still He remained silent. But now He shall reveal His countenance in an awe-striking manner. Let him who has ears hear that the Hour is not far. I strived to bring everyone under the protec- tion of God, but the ordained decrees had to be fulfilled. I say it truly that this country's turn is also drawing near. The age of Nūḥ [Noah] shall appear before your eyes, and you will witness with your own eyes the incident of the land of Lūt [Lot]. But God is slow to wrath. Repent so that you are shown mercy. He who abandons God is a worm, not a man; and he who does not fear Him is dead, not alive. 108. [ONE HUNDRED-EIGHTH] SIGN―The Sign recorded in Barāhīn- e-Aḥmadiyya, namely: أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَسْتَخْلِفَ فَخَلَقْتُ أَدَمَ Meaning that, I decided to appoint a khalifah [vicegerent] so I appointed Adam as the Khalifah. For as many as twenty-five years, this revelation has been recorded in Barāhīn-e-Aḥmadiyya. Thus, God named me 'Adam' here in Barahin-e-Aḥmadiyya. In fact, this is a prophecy indicating that just as the angels had found fault with Adam and rejected him, yet God ultimately appointed that very Adam as the vicegerent and all had to submit to him; accordingly, God affirms that the exact same will tran- spire here as well. Thus, the opposing ulema and their ilk did not spare any effort in criticizing me, nor did they spare any tricks to destroy me. But in the end God made me victorious and He will not relent until He has trampled falsehood under His feet.
