ervants of God recognize the truth that there is none other
God beside Me, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting. With these hands,
moreover, We shall both bestow and withhold, though none can understand
this save those who see with the eye of the spirit.

32 Say: O people! Can ye ever hope to escape the sovereign power of your
Lord? By the righteousness of God! No refuge will ye find in this day, and
no one to protect you, save those upon whom God hath bestowed the favour
of His mercy. He, verily, is the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Compassionate.
Say: O people! Forsake all that ye possess, and enter beneath the shadow
of your Lord, the All-Merciful. Better is this for you than all your works
of the past and of the future. Fear ye God, and deprive not yourselves of
the sweet savours of the days of the Lord of all names and attributes.
Take heed lest ye alter or pervert the text of the Word of God. Walk ye in
the fear of God, and be numbered with the righteous.

33 Say: O people! This is the Hand of God, which hath ever been above your
own hands, could ye but understand. Within its grasp We have ordained all
the good of the heavens and the earth, such that no good shall be made
manifest but that it proceedeth therefrom. Thus have We made it the source
and treasury of all good both aforetime and hereafter. Say: The rivers of
divine wisdom and utterance which flowed through the Tablets of God are
joined to this Most Great Ocean, could ye but perceive it, and whatever
hath been set forth in His Books hath attained its final consummation in
this most exalted Word--a Word shining above the horizon of the Will of the
All-Glorious in this Revelation which hath filled with delight all things
seen and unseen.

34 Erelong shall God draw forth, out of the bosom of power, the hands of
ascendancy and might, and shall raise up a people who will arise to win
victory for this Youth and who will purge mankind from the defilement of
the outcast and the ungodly. These hands will gird up their loins to
champion the Faith of God, and will, in My name the Self-Subsistent, the
Mighty, subdue the peoples and kindreds of the earth. They will enter the
cities and will inspire with fear the hearts of all their inhabitants.
Such are the evidences of the might of God; how fearful, how vehement is
His might, and how justly doth He wield it! He, verily, ruleth and
transcendeth all who are in the heavens and on the earth, and revealeth
what He desireth
