not failed in the mission Thou didst enjoin upon me. I
entreat Thee to guard the people of the Bayan on that Day in order that
they may not pronounce censure against Thee nor contend with Thy signs.
Protect them then, O my God, through the power of Thy might which
pervadeth all mankind.

"Glory be unto Him Who is the Lord of all that are in ..."

He is the Almighty.

Glory be unto Him Who is the Lord of all that are in the heavens and on
the earth; He is the All-Wise, the All-Informed. It is He Who calleth into

and whatsoever lieth between them, and all do His bidding. He is the One
Whose grace hath encompassed all that are in the heavens, on earth or
elsewhere, and everyone abideth by His behest.

It behooveth you to await the Day of the appearance of Him Whom God shall
manifest. Indeed My aim in planting the Tree of the Bayan hath been none
other than to enable you to recognize Me. In truth I Myself am the first
to bow down before God and to believe in Him. Therefore let not your
recognition become fruitless, inasmuch as the Bayan, notwithstanding the
sublimity of its station, beareth fealty to Him Whom God shall make
manifest, and it is He Who beseemeth most to be acclaimed as the Seat of
divine Reality, though indeed He is I and I am He. However, when th
