CLXVI: Whoso layeth claim to a Revelation direct...

1 |
Whoso layeth claim to a Revelation direct from God, ere the expiration of a full thousand years,
such a man is assuredly a lying impostor. We pray
God that He may graciously assist him to retract and
repudiate such claim. Should he repent, God will, no
doubt, forgive him. If, however, he persisteth in his
error, God will, assuredly, send down one who will
deal mercilessly with him. Terrible, indeed, is God in
punishing! Whosoever interpreteth this verse otherwise
than its obvious meaning is deprived of the Spirit
of God and of His mercy which encompasseth all
created things. Fear God, and follow not your idle
fancies. Nay, rather follow the bidding of your Lord,
the Almighty, the All-Wise.
