Day in which the Daystar of His loving-kindness hath shed its radiance
upon them, the Day in which the clouds of His bountiful favor have
overshadowed the whole of mankind.” “By the righteousness of Mine own
Self! Great, immeasurably great is this Cause! Mighty, inconceivably
mighty is this Day!” “Every Prophet hath announced the coming of this Day,
and every Messenger hath groaned in His yearning for this Revelation—a
revelation which, no sooner had it been revealed than all created things
cried out saying, ‘The earth is God’s, the Most Exalted, the Most Great!’”
“The Day of the Promise is come, and He Who is the Promised One loudly
proclaimeth before all who are in heaven and all who are on earth, ‘Verily
there is none other God but He, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting!’ I
swear by God! That which had been enshrined from eternity in the knowledge
of God, the Knower of the seen and unseen, is revealed. Happy is the eye
that seeth, and the face that turneth towards, the Countenance of God, the
Lord of all being.” “Great indeed is this Day! The allusions made to it in
all the sacred Scriptures as the Day of God attest its greatness. The soul
of every Prophet of God, of every Divine Messenger, hath thirsted for this

and been chosen as the seat of His mighty throne.’” “The world of being
shineth, in this Day, with the resplendency of this Divine Revelation. All
created things extol its saving grace, and sing its praises. The universe
is wrapt in an ecstasy of joy and gladness. The Scriptures of past
Dispensations celebrate the great Jubilee that must needs greet this most
great Day of God. Well is it with him that hath lived to see this Day, and
hath recognized its station.” “This Day a different Sun hath arisen, and a
different Heaven hath been adorned with its stars and its planets. The
