THE PROMISED MESSIAH AND MAHDI. Promised Messiah proclaimed towards the close of the last century, in the light of Divine revelation received by him: "The time is near when I should attain a magnificent victory, because in support of what I state, there is another voice which speaks; and in support of my hand there is another hand which operates. Yet, the world cannot perceive it, but I behold it. There is a heavenly spirit which speaks in me and grants a new life to every word and every letter of mine. A commotion and upsurge has erupted in the heaven which has caused this earthly body to stand up at God's behest. Every such person who has not been denied forgiveness and salvation shall soon see for himself that I do not make these claims on my own. Can they be seeing eyes which fail to recognize a man of truth? Can he be deemed alive who has no awareness of this Heavenly call?". It is likely that many will turn a sceptical ear to what I say. wondering at the certitude and firmness of my faith in the glorious future of Ahmadiyyat. The weak and oppressed proponents of. Christianity, at the end of the first century of the Christian era, must have felt somewhat as I feel today. Yet, I have no doubt whatsoever that a day will dawn before the end of the next century when people of that age will look back with no less amazement at the incertitude and disbelief of the people of today. . In the end, let me invite you once again with all my heart to accept the call of the Promised Reformer. Herein shall you find peace and contentment of heart which can only be acquired by submission to the will of God. May Allah bless you all. ". Our last words are that all praise belongs to Allah. The Lord of All the Worlds. alf. P 236
