Malfuzat - English translation of Urdu Volume 7 44 they were waiting for him. There is no other Messiah besides him. Promised Messiah as — Yes, 1900 years ago a Messiah did come, but the Messiah you mention or believe in, is not men- tioned anywhere in the Old Testament because they were not awaiting any God-Messiah, but rather a Prophet. They would have believed in him if they had been waiting for a God or Son of God. Moreover, the Messiah whose mention is found in the Old Testament is a sign alluding towards two Messiahs. One is he who came before me, and the other is myself who was to come in the seventh millennium. You people also acknowledge the second coming of the Messiah, but you have taken the sec- ond coming as the coming of the same Messiah, whereas it was meant to be the coming of someone else; that is to say, my appearance. This matter has also been mentioned with great clarity in the Book of the Prophet Daniel. This is the seventh millennium which invalidates your claim that the same Messiah was to come. It has confirmed my truth. Thus, great Christian scholars have declared this to be the pre- cise time of the Messiah’s coming. Finally, out of despondency, such articles were published in America, etc. , stating that the idea of coming again is wrong and that by the second coming is meant only the church. If this was not the time for his coming, what trouble had befallen these people that they would make or deny such interpretations? In reality, this was indeed the time for his coming. And the one who was to come has come, but few see him. Now, whether you accept it or not, no other Messiah is coming. The one you are waiting for is dead, and I have come according to God’s promise.
