The Prophets of God draw upon both His boundless universal
grace and His particular grace, that is, upon divine revelation and
inspiration. They foretell certain events through revelation and inspiration,
which are the heavenly splendours, the intimations of the heart, and the
scattering rays of the light of the Day-Star of Truth. This grace is like the
resplendent rays of the sun, and the hearts of the Prophets are even as
mirrors. Thus They affirm that Their words have proceeded from revelation and
inspiration.
