unto the Voice of Jeremiah, Who
saith: "Oh, for great is that Day, and it hath no equal." Wert thou to
observe with the eye of fairness, thou wouldst perceive the greatness of
the Day. Incline thine ear unto the Voice of this All-Knowing Counsellor,
and suffer not thyself to be deprived of the mercy that hath surpassed all
created things, visible and invisible. Lend an ear unto the song of David.
He saith: "Who will bring me into the Strong City?" The Strong City is
Akka, which hath been named the Most Great Prison, and which possesseth a
fortress and mighty ramparts.

O _Sh_ay_kh_! Peruse that which Isaiah hath spoken in His Book. He saith:
"Get thee up into the high mountain, O Zion, that bringest good tidings;
lift up Thy Voice with strength, O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings.
Lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah: 'Behold your God!
Behold the Lord God will come with strong hand, and His arm shall rule for

Zion and Palestine, they are all included within these regions. Wherefore,
hath it been said: "Blessed is the man that hath migrated to Akka."

Amos saith: "The Lord will roar from Zion, and utter His Voice from

as the Hill of God, and His Vineyard. It is here that, by the grace of the
Lord of Revelation, the Tabernacle of Glory hath been raised. Happy are
they that attain thereunto; happy they that set their faces towards it.
And likewise He saith: "Our God will come, and He will not be silent."

O _Sh_ay_kh_! Reflect upon these words addressed by Him Who is the Desire
of the world to Amos. He saith: "Prepare to meet thy God, O Israel, for,
lo, He that formeth the mountains and createth the wind, and declareth
unto man what is his thought, that maketh the morning darkness, and
treadeth upon the high places of the earth, the Lord, the God of Hosts, is
His name." He saith that He maketh the morning darkness. By this is meant
