FOURTEENTH [PROPHECY] 83 referred to in the aforementioned revelation, as يُعِيْسٌی ]Yā Īsā-'O Jesus']-meaning, the mischief of having me murdered or cruci- fied). In this ilhām, first, this humble one was named 'Isā and then it was promised that: I will cause you to die. And that same verse which is in the Holy Quran with regard to the promise concern- ing the death of Hadrat ‘Īsā was revealed in regard to this humble one; that is: يعيسى إِنِّي مُتَوَفِّيكَ وَ رَافِعُكَ إِلَى 1 And as I have just written, Hadrat Īsā [Jesus] was in great need of such a glad tiding as his life was in danger due to the daily threats from the Jews. The Jews used to threaten him with the type of death that could be considered the death of a criminal and upon which the virtuous character of the person would be considered stained in the light of the Torah as well. Therefore, at such a per- ilous time, God Almighty saved him from such an unholy and accursed death. Thus, there is in this ilham, which came to this humble one right at the time when Mirza Ghulam Ahmad of Qadian had made the prophecy regarding his [Lekh Ram's] death; otherwise, what knowl- edge of the unseen could this person have?' Many other Hindu newspapers have similarly manifested their mis- chievous thoughts in different ways and I believe that it is unnecessary to write any more than this because there is such an uproar of these evil plans throughout the Punjab that it would be surprising if anyone is unaware of these things. -Author. 1. O Jesus, I will cause thee to die a natural death and will exalt thee to Myself. . . (Sūrah Al-e-Imrān, 3:56). [Publisher]
