O CONCOURSE of Christians! We have, on a previous occasion, revealed
Ourself unto you, and ye recognized Me not. This is yet another occasion
vouchsafed unto you. This is the Day of God; turn ye unto Him... The
Beloved One loveth not that ye be consumed with the fire of your desires.
Were ye to be shut out as by a veil from Him, this would be for no other
reason than your own waywardness and ignorance. Ye make mention of Me, and
know Me not. Ye call upon Me, and are heedless of My Revelation.... O
people of the Gospel! They who were not in the Kingdom have now entered
it, whilst We behold you, in this day, tarrying at the gate. Rend the
veils asunder by the power of your Lord, the Almighty, the All-Bounteous,
and enter, then, in My name My Kingdom. Thus biddeth you He Who desireth
for you everlasting life... We behold you, O children of the Kingdom, in
darkness. This, verily, beseemeth you not. Are ye, in the face of the
Light, fearful because of your deeds? Direct yourselves towards Him...
Verily, He (Jesus) said: ‘Come ye after Me, and I will make you to become
fishers of men.’ In this day, however, We say: ‘Come ye after Me, that We
may make you to become quickeners of mankind.’
“WE, verily, have come for your sakes, and have borne...”
WE, verily, have come for your sakes, and have borne the misfortunes of
the world for your salvation. Flee ye the One Who hath sacrificed His life
that ye may be quickened? Fear God, O followers of the Spirit (Jesus), and
walk not in the footsteps of every divine that hath gone far astray...
Open the doors of your hearts. He Who is the Spirit (Jesus) verily,
standeth before them. Wherefore keep ye afar from Him Who hath purposed to
draw you nigh unto a Resplendent Spot? Say: We, in truth, have opened unto
you the gates of the Kingdom. Will ye bar the doors of your houses in My
face? This indeed is naught but a grievous error.
“O CONCOURSE of patriarchs! He Whom ye were promised...”
O CONCOURSE of patriarchs! He Whom ye were promised in the Tablets is
come. Fear God, and follow not the vain imaginings of the superstitious.
Lay aside the things ye possess, and take fast hold of the Tablet of God
by His sovereign power. Better is this for you than all your possessions.
Unto this testifieth every understanding heart, and every man of insight.
Pride ye yourselves on My Name and yet shut yourselves out as by a veil
from Me? This indeed is a strange thing!
“O CONCOURSE of archbishops! He Who is the Lord of...”
O CONCOURSE of archbishops! He Who is the Lord of all men hath appeared.
In the plain of guidance He calleth mankind, whilst ye are numbered with
the dead! Great is the blessedness of him who is stirred by the Breeze of
God, and hath arisen from amongst the dead in this perspicuous Name.
“O CONCOURSE of bishops! Trembling hath seized all the...”
