that if, at the time of the Manifestation of Him Who conversed on Sinai
anyone were to regard himself as the true morn, he will, through the might
and power of God, be turned into darkness. He truly is the false dawn,
though believing himself to be the true one. Woe unto him, and woe unto
such as follow him without a clear token from God, the Lord of the worlds.

Isaiah saith: "The Lord alone shall be exalted in that Day." Concerning
the greatness of the Revelation He saith: "Enter into the rock, and hide
thee in the dust, for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty."
And in another connection He saith: "The wilderness and the solitary place
shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the
rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing:
the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the splendor of Carmel and
Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the splendor of our
God."

These passages stand in need of no commentary. They are shining and
manifest as the sun, and glowing and luminous as light itself. Every
fair-minded person is led, by the fragrance of these words, unto the
garden of understanding, and attaineth unto that from which most men are
veiled and debarred. Say: Fear God, O people, and follow not the doubts of
such as shout aloud, who have broken the Covenant of God and His
Testament, and denied His mercy that hath preceded all that are in the
heavens and all that are on earth.

And likewise, He saith: "Say to them that are of a fearful heart: be
strong, fear not, behold your God." This blessed verse is a proof of the
greatness of the Revelation, and of the greatness of the Cause, inasmuch
as the blast of the trumpet must needs spread confusion throughout the
world, and fear and trembling amongst all men. Well is it with him who
hath been illumined with the light of trust and detachment. The
tribulations of that Day will not hinder or alarm him. Thus hath the
Tongue of Utterance spoken, as bidden by Him Who is the All-Merciful. He,
verily, is the Strong, the All-Powerful, the All-Subduing, the Almighty.
It is now incumbent upon them who are endowed with a hearing ear and a
seeing eye to ponder these sublime words, in each of which the oceans of
inner meaning and explanation are hidden, that haply the words uttered by
Him Who is the Lord of Revelation may enable His servants to attain, with
the utmost joy and radiance, unto the Supreme Goal
