Appendix II 353 old. So do not grieve over what I have said to you; nor should your hearts be distressed. For it is essential for you to witness the second manifestation also, and its coming is better for you because it is everlasting the continuity of which will not end till the Day of Judgement. And that second manifestation cannot come unless I depart. But when I depart, God will send that second manifestation for you which shall always stay with you just as promised by God in Br ā h ī n-e-Ahmadiyya 347. And this promise is not for my person. Rather the promise is with reference to you, as God [addressing me] says: I shall make this Jam ā ‘at who are your followers, prevail over others till the Day of Judgment. Thus it is inevitable that you see the day of my departure, so that after that day the day comes which is the day of ever-lasting promise. Our God is He Who keeps His promise and is Faithful and is the Truthful God. He shall show you all that He has promised. Though these days are the last days of this world and there are many a disaster waiting to happen, yet it is necessary that this world continues to exist until all those things about which God has prophesied come to pass. I came from God as a manifestation of Divine Providence and I am a personification of His Power. And after I am gone there will be some other persons who will be the manifestation of the second Power [of God]. So, while waiting for the second manifestation of His Power, you all together keep yourselves busy praying. And let a Jam ā ‘at of righteous people, one and all, in every country keep themselves busy in prayers so that the second manifestation may descend from the Heaven and show you that your God is such a Mighty God. Consider your death to be close at hand for you never know when that hour will strike. . . 347 The first book of the Promised Messiah as , published in four parts in 1880, 1882 and 1884.
