Whose ravishing beauty hath delighted the eye of God, the Ordainer, the
All-Powerful, the Incomparable!'"

"Followers of the Gospel," Baha'u'llah addressing the whole of Christendom
exclaims, "behold the gates of heaven are flung open. He that had ascended
unto it is now come. Give ear to His voice calling aloud over land and
sea, announcing to all mankind the advent of this Revelation--a Revelation
through the agency of which the Tongue of Grandeur is now proclaiming:
'Lo, the sacred Pledge hath been fulfilled, for He, the Promised One, is
come!'" "The voice of the Son of Man is calling aloud from the sacred
vale: 'Here am I, here am I, O God my God!' ... whilst from the Burning
Bush breaketh forth the cry: 'Lo, the Desire of the world is made manifest
in His transcendent glory!' The Father hath come. That which ye were
promised in the Kingdom of God is fulfilled. This is the Word which the
Son veiled when He said to those around Him that at that time they could
not bear it... Verily the Spirit of Truth is come to guide you unto all
truth... He is the One Who glorified the Son and exalted His Cause..."
"The Comforter Whose advent all the scriptures have promised is now come
that He may reveal unto you all knowledge and wisdom. Seek Him over the
entire surface of the earth, haply ye may find Him."

sovereignty is manifest; His all-encompassing splendor is revealed...
Hasten forth and circumambulate the City of God that hath descended from
heaven--the celestial Kaaba round which have circled in adoration the
favored of God, the pure in heart and the company of the most exalted
angels.'" "I am the One," He in another connection affirms, "Whom the
tongue of Isaiah hath extolled, the One with Whose name both the Torah and
the Evangel were adorned." "The glory of Sinai hath hastened to circle
round the Day-Spring of this Revelation, while from the heights of the
Kingdom the voice of the Son of God is heard proclaiming: 'Bestir
yourselves, ye proud ones of the earth, and hasten ye towards Him.' Carmel
hath in this day hastened in longing adoration to attain His court, whilst
from the heart of Zion there cometh the cry: 'The promise of all ages is
now fulfilled. That which had been announced in the holy writ of God, the
Beloved, the Most High, is made manifest.'" "H
