35 Should any one of them be called upon to confront all the hosts of
creation, he would assuredly prevail through the ascendancy of My Will.
This, verily, is a proof of My power, though My creatures comprehend it
not. This, verily, is a sign of My sovereignty, though My subjects
understand it not. This, verily, is a token of My command, though My
servants perceive it not. This, verily, is an evidence of Mine ascendancy,

39 O Third Letter of this Temple, betokening My name, the All-Bountiful!
We have made thee the dawning-place of Our bounty amidst Our creatures and
the fountainhead of Our generosity amidst Our people. Powerful am I in My
dominion. Nothing whatsoever of all that hath been created in the heavens
or on the earth can escape My knowledge, and I am the True One, the Knower
