It is hoped that wonderful effects will be displayed in the
future, that the friends of God may live and act in accord with the heavenly
teachings, in order that the region of America may become the Paradise of Abha,
that desert and wilderness become the rose-garden of human perfections, the
verses of guidance be read, the melody of “Ya Baha’u’l-Abha!” reach the Kingdom
of Beauty; warfare and bloodshed be removed from among the people, affinity and
love hoist their tent upon the apex of the world, and all mankind become real
friends with one another and each soul respect the other. Whenever these signs
appear, then it will become manifest that the Tablets have had their effect.
