Status of the Promised Messiahas
[Chashma-e-Masihi, Ruhani Khaza’in, vol. 20, pp. 375-376, footnote]
[Essence of Islam, Vol. 4, p. 89]

The manner in which God Almighty is making Himself manifest by drawing near and is disclosing hundreds of the matters of the unseen to this humble one, it is hard to find its example in past ages. People will soon observe that God will manifest His countenance as if He was descending from heaven. He kept Himself hidden for a long time. He was denied and remained silent, but now He will not remain hidden and the world will witness instances of His power which their ancestors had never witnessed. This will come to pass because the earth has been corrupted and people have lost faith in the Creator of the heavens and the earth. People pay lip-service to Him, but their hearts are estranged from Him. That is why God has said He will create a new heaven and a new earth. This means that the earth is dead, that is to say, the hearts of the people of the earth have become so hardened as if they are dead, for the face of God has become hidden from them and all heavenly signs that had been shown in the past have become like myths. So God has designed to create a new heaven and a new earth.
What is the new heaven? And what is the new earth? The new earth consists of the pure hearts that God is preparing with His own hand, which will be manifested by God and through whom God will be made manifest. The new heaven consists of the signs which are being manifested by His command at the hand of His servant. It is a pity that the world has become hostile to this new manifestation of God. They have nothing with them except ancient tales and their own fancies have become their god. Their hearts are benumbed, their resolves are weary, and their eyes are veiled.

Favours of God upon the Promised Messiahas [1] God has bestowed upon me the deeper and subtler meanings of the Qur’an. [2] God has taught me the language of the Qur’an in a miraculous manner. [3] God accepts my prayers more than anyone else. [4] God has granted me signs from heaven. [5] God has vouchsafed to me signs from the earth. [6] God has promised me that whoever challenges me shall be humbled.
