d prophethood. This is self-evident. Therefore
Christians and Jews should have the greatest love for each other because
the founders of these two great religions have been in perfect agreement
in book and teaching. Their followers should be likewise.
We have already stated the valid proofs of prophethood. We find the very
evidences of the validity of His Holiness Moses were witnessed and
duplicated in His Holiness Christ. His Holiness Christ was also a unique
and single personage born of the lineage of Israel. By the power of his
Word he was able to unite people of the Roman, Greek, Chaldean, Egyptian
and Assyrian nations. Whereas they had been cruel, bloodthirsty and
hostile, killing, pillaging and taking each other captive, he cemented
them together in a perfect bond of unity and love. He caused them to agree
and become reconciled. Such mighty effects were the results of the
manifestation of one single soul. This proves conclusively that His
Holiness Christ was assisted by God. Today all Christians admit and
believe that His Holiness Moses was a prophet of God. They declare that
his book was the Book of God, that the prophets of Israel were true and
valid and that the people of Israel constituted the people of God. What
harm has come from this? What harm could come from a statement by the Jews
that Jesus was also a manifestation of the Word of God? Have the
Christians suffered for their belief in Moses? Have they experienced any
loss of religious enthusiasm or witnessed any defeat in their religious
belief by declaring that His Holiness Moses was a prophet of God, that the
torah was a Book of God and that all the prophets of Israel were prophets
of God? It is evident that no loss comes from this. And now it is time for
the Jews to declare that Christ was the Word of God and then this enmity
between two great religions will pass away. For two thousand years this
enmity and religious prejudice have continued. Blood has been shed,
ordeals have been suffered. These few words will remedy the difficulty and
unite two great religions. What harm could follow this,--that just as the
Christians glorify and praise the name of Moses, likewise the Jews should
commemorate the name of Christ, declare him to be the Word of God and
consider him as one of the chosen messengers of God?
A few words concerning the koran and the Mohammedans: When His Holiness
Mohammed appeared he spoke of Moses as the great man of God. In the koran
