The Blessed Lord said: I am Time, the great destroyer of worlds, and I have come to annihilate all people. Except for you, all these warriors arrayed in the opposing armies shall cease to exist.
- •God is time itself — the destroyer of all
- •The outcome of the war is already decided
- •Understanding God as Kala (Time) is the highest wisdom
