THE DESCENT OF THE MESSIAH 1 No Date of Prophecy 24 1886 The Revelation that I have been graced with has disclosed to me these miraculous prophecies that have already ap- peared in the world, and thousands of witnesses attest to them, some of which have been mentioned here One of our court cases involved the cutting down of trees on hereditary lands in Tehsil Batala and I had a vision that we would win the case. However, when the deci- sion was announced, no one from our side was present in court and the other party, with their fifteen witnesses, came to the marketplace and claimed the case had been dismissed. Sharampat and others, whom I had informed about my prophecy, were overjoyed and believed they had finally caught me committing an error. I was greatly troubled, especially since there were fifteen people con- firming the news. During the 'Aşr prayer, I was alone in the mosque when I heard a resounding voice, seemingly from outside, saying, "The suit has been decreed. Are you a Muslim?" This implied that I should have more faith in God. This proved to be true as the case was indeed decid- ed in our favour and the other party had been mistaken. See Barahin-e-Ahmadiyya page 5521. Date Prophecy Fulfilled Living Witnesses: With regard to prophecy number 24, the court documents are available in government offices and Sharampat and other Aryas are witnesses. The pre- siding officer, Hafız Hidayat Ali, dismissed the case based on the defendant's claim that they had the right to cut the trees according to the Commissioner's decision. He an- nounced his decision to the defendant and released them along with the witnesses, who returned to the village and announced that the case had been dismissed. However, after they left the courtroom, the Reader informed the officer that he had made a mistake, as the copy of the Commissioner's order presented by the other party had been revoked by the Financial Officer's order and showed him the revoked order. Hidayat Ali then immediately overturned his previous decision, tore up his order, and passed the decree. This is a testament to the wonders of God's power.
