Ye. Christians of Europe and .'\merica ! and v~ ~eekers after trutfi! K n o w it for certain that the Messiah. who W a s t u Collide h f ~ o m ' e , and it is he who is speaking to you at.this moment. I leaven and earth have slaown sigrts, and the prophecies of the H o l y l'rophets o f .~f,~d have seen fheJr.fulfilment. Almighty God has shown me'thousands of .'~-,,~ls-alld furnished arguments of mv trtith in every ~wav. I say to you t r u l y that i f t h e heavenly signs whicfl have been ]thown ".on my hands,-had .been shown by .Jesus, son of Mary, t h e Jews x~'ould have' heen s a v e d frourkdestruction e x c e p t such as " x~:ere the sons of perdition.

Not only by his apostaey did he deprive himself of the pronaised throne hut he also threw Jesus into.innumeralfle difficulties, : \ l l : y e t h a t ari~ desirous of perpetual happines.and eternal Salvation, fly t o me- for here is the fountain which Will purge you of all your impurities and here 3,.u will find the salvation w h i c h is t'he f r u i t . o f c e r t a i n t y and a strong fahh and perfect knowledge. Know it for certain that y o u r t r u s t in the |flood of Jesus is a vain trust. Had he been ct:ncified not once hut ;t. tl]ousand times, even then he c o u l d nut Imve Saved votu Sal'vati0n is in faith and love and certainty aml 'not in the blood ~t', a.man. Time is giving you the w a r n i n g that t h e theory of a blood-bath is a: false theory, therefore repent of Such beliefs.wlaile {here is time and before you are called to stand before tile tlirone of (;otl. Ahnighty God has sentYme in t h i S a g e : t h a t I might bear witness that ;ill faiths have-f~ecome corrupt and heen tainted w.ith falsehood with t h e o n l y exception o f Islam. if the truth of my testi- " mony is not sealed by Divine-authority, I am not:true.: but if the w i t n e s s t h a t I bear is confiml~ed by the Di(,ine seal being il~q,ressed u p o n it, re01ember lest you bring 50urselx es under the judginent of G o d by rejecting i truth.
