... men have always been taught and led by the Prophets of
God. The Prophets of God are the Mediators of God. All the Prophets and
Messengers have come from One Holy Spirit and bear the Message of God, fitted
to the age in which they appear. The One Light is in them and they are One with
each other. But the Eternal does not become phenomenal; neither can the
phenomenal become Eternal.
Saint Paul, the great Apostle, said: “We all, with open face
beholding as in a mirror the glory of God, are changed into the same image from
glory to glory, as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (‘Abdu’l-Baha, from a talk,
London, England, September 17, 1911; “‘Abdu’l-Baha in London”)
