is gracious favour is unequalled by any other evidence
of favour. His power transcendeth every power. His sovereignty is
invincible in the face of every other sovereignty. His celestial dominion
is exalted far above every other dominion. His knowledge pervadeth all
created things, and His consummate power extendeth over all beings.

"All men have proceeded from God and unto Him shall ..."

All men have proceeded from God and unto Him shall all return. All shall
appear before Him for judgement. He is the Lord of the Day of
Resurrection, of Regeneration and of Reckoning, and His revealed Word is
the Balance.

True death is realized when a person dieth to himself at the time of His
Revelation in such wise that he seeketh naught except Him.

True resurrection from the sepulchres means to be quickened in conformity
with His Will, through the power of His utterance.

Everything belongeth unto Him and is fashioned by Him. All besides Him are
His creatures.

remembrance of such as Thou hast, by My leave, caused to be the 'Letters

gain admittance into the celestial Paradise.

Verily, the sun is but a token from My presence so that the true believers
among My servants may discern in its rising the dawning of every
Dispe
