spoken that which the histories of bygone ages
have related. At this time, however, David crieth aloud and saith: 'O my
loving Lord! Do Thou number me with such as have stood steadfast in Thy
Cause, O Thou through Whom the faces have been illumined, and the
footsteps have slipped!'

"THE Breath hath been wafted, and the Breeze hath..."

THE Breath hath been wafted, and the Breeze hath blown, and from Zion hath
appeared that which was hidden, and from Jerusalem is heard the Voice of
God, the One, the Incomparable, the Omniscient.

"LEND an ear unto the song of David. He saith: 'Who will..."

LEND an ear unto the song of David. He saith: 'Who will bring me into the
Strong City?' The Strong City is Akka, which hath been named the Most
Great Prison, and which possesseth a fortress and mighty ramparts...
Peruse that which Isaiah hath spoken in His Book. He saith: 'Get thee up
into the high mountain, O Zion, that bringest good tidings; lift up thy
voice with strength, O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings. Lift it up,
be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah: "Behold your God! Behold the
Lord God will come with strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him."'
This Day all the signs have appeared. A great City hath descended from
heaven, and Zion trembleth and exulteth with joy at the Revelation of God,
for it hath heard the Voice of God on every side.

"O CONCOURSE of Christians! We have, on a previous..."

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...
