s signs is His long-suffering, His tribulations and His woes,
His agony in His chains and fetters, and His calling out at every moment:
'Come unto Me, come unto Me, ye righteous! Come unto Me, come unto Me, ye
lovers of the good! Come unto Me, come unto Me, ye dawning points of
light!' Verily the gates of mystery are opened wide--but still do the
wicked disport themselves with their vain cavillings!(14)

Yet another of His signs is the promulgation of His Book, His decisive
Holy Text wherein He reproved the kings, and His dire warning to that
one(15) whose mighty rule was felt around the world--and whose great throne
then toppled down in a matter of brief days--this being a fact clearly
established and widely known.

And among His signs is the sublimity of His grandeur, His exalted state,
His towering glory, and the shining out of His beauty above the horizon of
the Prison: so that heads were bowed before Him and voices lowered, and
humble were the faces that turned His way. This is a proof never witnessed
in the ages gone before.

Again among His signs are the extraordinary things He continually did, the
miracles He performed, the wonders appearing from Him without interruption
like the streaming down of His clouds--and the acknowledgement, even by
unbelievers, of His powerful light. By His own life! This was clearly
verified, it was demonstrated to those of every persuasion who came into
the presence of the living, the self-subsisting Lord.

And yet another of His signs is the wide-spreading rays of the sun of His
era, the rising moon of His times in the heaven of all the ages: His day,
which standeth at the summit of all days, for its rank and power, its
sciences and its arts, reaching far and wide, that have dazzled the world
and astonished the minds of men.

Verily is this a matter settled and established for all time.

5: THE WORLD'S GREAT LIGHT, ONCE RESPLENDENT UPON ALL ...

The world's great Light, once resplendent upon all mankind, hath set, to
shine everlastingly from the Abha Horizon, His Kingdom of fadeless glory,
shedding splendour upon His loved ones from on high and breathing into
their hearts and souls the breath of eternal life.

Ponder in your hearts that which He hath foretold in His Tablet of the
Divine Vision that hath been spread throughout the world. Therein He
saith: 'Thereupon she wailed and exclaimed: "May the world and all that is
therein be a ransom for Thy woes. O Sovereign
