"When the foundation of the
Mashriqu'l-Adhkar is laid in America," 'Abdu'l-Bahá Himself has predicted,
"and that Divine Edifice is completed, a most wonderful and thrilling
motion will appear in the world of existence... From that point of light the
spirit of teaching, spreading the Cause of God and promoting the teachings of
God, will permeate to all parts of the world." "Out of this
Mashriqu'l-Adhkar," He has affirmed in the Tablets of the Divine Plan,
"without doubt, thousands of Mashriqu'l-Adhkars will be born."
"It marks," He, furthermore, has written,
"the inception of the Kingdom of God on earth."

Passes By’)
