Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad's revelations about Lahore

Following are some of the revelations of Hadrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad (as) Promissed Messiah and Mehdi about Lahore.  I am including the words as they exist in Tadhkira (http://www.alislam.org/library/books/Tadhkirah.pdf) without any editorial comments.  Only Allah understands the complete meaning and implications of such prophecies.  May Allah have mecy on us.

    • December 13, 1900 There are our pure members in Lahore. They should be informed. They are made of fine clay. Doubt will be removed but the clay will remain. In the context of the acceptance of revelation the weakest was the maulavi. All maulavis will be exposed. [Arabic] [I am Allah the Bountiful. I shall certainly stand with My Messenger.] [al-Hakam, vol. 4, no. 45, December 17, 1900, p. 2]

    We have pure friends in Lahore. Doubt has arisen but the clay is fine; doubt will be removed but the clay will remain. [al-Hakam, vol. 4, no. 29, August 17, 1902, p. 12]

      • February 20, 1907 (1) [Arabic] I shall stand with My Messenger and shall rebuke the one who rebukes him. (2) [Urdu] A scattered host. (3) [Urdu] A sorrowful news has been received. The Promised Messiah[as] said: It passed through my mind, after I woke up, that this last revelation might relate to some of our friends in Lahore. The revelation might possibly have the same import.

      • [Urdu] A sad piece of news has been received from Lahore. Because of the revelation, I sent a man to Lahore to find out about our friends there, but one did not know that the revelation would be fulfilled a few days later. [Badr, vol. 6, no. 27, July 4, 1907, p. 7]

      • [Urdu] There used to be a city called Lahore as well.     Note by Hadrat Maulana Jalal-ud-Din Shamsra: The prophecy about the destruction of Lahore that was published during the life of the Promised Messiahas is the following:  
        It is said that the soil of Lahore contains elements which exterminate the plague germs. But plague has also taken hold there. People still do not know, but after several years they will see what will happen. A number of people and villages will be completely wiped out. The world will forget about them and there will remain no trace of them. But such would never be the case with Qadian. 
          [al-Hakam, vol. 8, no, 23 and 24, July 17, 24, 1904, p. 12]
