The sovereignty of God is eternal and not accidental. His
creation, His Kingdom, His Army are coexistent and will continue as such. The
bestowals and bounties of God are constant and are uninterrupted. Like the
light and heat of the sun, they have no cessation. The holy Manifestations of
God, Who are the dawning places of divine bounties, have ever been and shall
ever be. The wisdom and purpose of their appearance is to cause the image and
likeness of God to appear in the world of man.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Words of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, December 4, New York, recorded by Mahmud Zarqani; ‘Mahmud’s
Diary’)
