Praise be unto God Who hath manifested the Point, hath
unfolded therefrom the knowledge of all things, whether of the past or of the
future—a Point He hath chosen to be the Herald of His Name and the Harbinger of
His Great Revelation which hath caused the limbs of all mankind to quake and
the splendour of His light to shine forth above the horizon of the world.
Verily, this is the Point which God hath ordained to be an ocean of light for
the sincere among His servants and a flame of fire to the froward amidst His
creatures and the impious among His people—they who bartered away the gift of
God for unbelief, and the celestial food for hypocrisy, and led their
associates to a wretched abode. These are the people who have manifested
sedition throughout the world and have violated His Covenant on the Day when
the immortal Being mounted His throne and the Crier raised His Voice from the
haven of security and peace in the holy Vale.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of
Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
