h. By this name, I bear witness, they that circle the
Throne of Glory have ever known Thee." "With each and every Prophet, Whom
We have sent down in the past," He further adds, "We have established a
separate Covenant concerning the 'Remembrance of God' and His Day.
Manifest, in the realm of glory and through the power of truth, are the
'Remembrance of God' and His Day before the eyes of the angels that circle
His mercy-seat." "Should it be Our wish," He again affirms, "it is in Our
power to compel, through the agency of but one letter of Our Revelation,
the world and all that is therein to recognize, in less than the twinkling
of an eye, the truth of Our Cause."

"I am the Primal Point," the Bab thus addresses Muhammad _Sh_ah from the
prison-fortress of Mah-Ku, "from which have been generated all created
things... I am the Countenance of God Whose splendor can never be
obscured, the light of God whose radiance can never fade... All the keys

Bab, wishing to stress the limitless potentialities latent in His
Dispensation, characteristically affirms, "desire in this day to be
possessed of such power as to be able to unravel the abstrusest and most
bewildering passages of the Qur'an, its wish will no doubt be fulfilled,
inasmuch as the mystery of eternal might vibrates within the innermost
being of all created things." "If so helpless a creature," is
'Abdu'l-Baha's comment on so startling an affirmation, "can be endowed
with so subtle a capacity, how much more efficacious must be the power
released through the liberal effusions of the grace of Baha'u'llah!"

To these authoritative assertions and solemn declarations made by
Baha'u'llah and the Bab must be added 'Abdu'l-Baha's own incontrovertible
testimony. He, the appointed interpreter of the utterances of both
Baha'u'llah and the Bab, corroborates, not by implication but in clear and
categorical language, both in His Tablets and in His Testament, the truth
of the statements to which
