The Promised Messiah listed signs in
his favor in his book, Haqiqatul-Wahi
(The Philosophy of Divine Revelation).
The book has been translated into English.
TWELFTH SIGN
- [Twelfth] Sign—Is the prophecy by Hadrat ‘Isa as concerning earthquakes and plague. As has been stated earlier, the advent of the Promised Messiah is certain to take place at that time.
A priest writes that the plague and earthquakes are no proof of the advent of the Promised Messiah, for history shows that such earthquakes and such plagues have always occurred in the world. The reply to this is that, without doubt, these earthquakes and this plague in Punjab and India are extraordinary. No such occurrence is on record over the past hundreds of years. Quantitatively as well as qualitatively, this plague and these earthquakes are, indeed, most unusual. If the priest disagrees, he should quote some precedent. Besides, even if there have been plague, earthquakes, and wars in the world in the past, there was no claimant to being the Promised Messiah at that time. Therefore, now that a claimant to being the Messiah has appeared prior to such unusual earthquakes and the plague and all these Signs in conformity with those given in the Gospel have come to pass, why should he be rejected? True, the stars of heaven have not [literally]fallen upon the earth. You should ask astronomers if humans and animals could survive if the stars should fall on the earth. (Author)
