of the Bayan attaineth its highest development, We shall bend it low as a
token of adoration towards its Lord Who will appear in the person of Him
Whom God shall make manifest. Perchance ye may be privileged to glorify
God as it befitteth His august Self.

Indeed ye have been called into being through the power of the Point of
the Bayan while the Point Himself is resigned to the Will of Him Whom God
shall make manifest, is exalted through His transcendent sublimity, is
sustained by the evidences of His might, is glorified by the majesty of
His oneness, is adorned by the beauty of His singleness, is empowered by
His eternal dominion and is invested with authority through His
everlasting sovereignty. How then could they, who are but the creation of
the Point, be justified in saying 'why or wherefore'?

O congregation of the Bayan, and all who are therein! Recognize ye the
limits imposed upon you, for such a One as the Point of the Bayan Himself
hath believed in Him Whom God shall make manifest, before all things were
created. Therein, verily, do I glory before all who are in the kingdom of
heaven and earth. Suffer not yourselves to be shut out as by a veil from
God after He hath revealed Himself. For all that hath been exalted in the
Bayan is but as a ring upon My hand, and I Myself am, verily, but a ring
upon the hand of Him Whom God shall make manifest--glorified be His
mention! He turneth it as He pleaseth, for whatsoever He pleaseth, and
through whatsoever He pleaseth. He, verily, is the Help in Peril, the Most
High.

glory and majesty in the kingdoms of Revelation and Creation and whatever
lieth between them. Verily He is the Potent, the All-Glorious. From
everlasting He hath been the Source of indomitable strength and shall
remain so unto everlasting. He is indeed the Lord of might and power. All
the kingdoms of heaven and earth and whatever is between them are God's,
and His pow
