169 His creatures. God has granted me the extraordinary determination and resolve, which He always gives to His divine appointees. It is on account of this strength and vigour that I have not tired. A time is approaching when all the opposition that exists today will vanish without a trace and I am hopeful that this era is soon to come. I can say in all honesty that there is discussion in the heavens. God desires to see a holy transformation in the people of the world. Just as any king naturally desires to see their majesty manifested, similarly, divine will intends to see the people of this world recognise the greatness and omnipotence of God, and for God—Who is becoming more and more hidden—to show a manifestation of His being to the world. It is for this reason that God has raised a man whom He has commis- sioned, so that the world may be cured of its leprosy, as it were. One may ask what I have accomplished with my advent? What can I say except that the world will come to know itself what I have accomplished. Nonetheless, I do say this much that people repent from their sins on my hand. These people develop humility and meekness, and their immoralities are being driven out to give way to exemplary morals. These people are growing slowly and gradually in the likeness of foliage, and they are positively progressing in their good morals and habits. Man does not progress instantly, rather what we observe in the law of nature is that all things grow and progress in stages. Nothing is beyond the effects of this phenomenon. Of course, I trust that ultimately the truth will spread and a pure transformation will take place, but this is not my task, this is the work of God. It is God’s will that purity should spread. The state of the world has been tarnished and it continues to rot. All that remains is the outer shell, the kernel is nowhere to be found. However, it is God’s desire that His servants are purified and cleansed of every blemish. It is for this reason that by His sheer grace, He has established this movement. The True Nature of the Promised Messiah Question: In light of your books, your title is that of the ‘Promised Messiah. ’ What does this truly mean?
