When a crown of thorns was placed on
the head of Christ, He saw with His own eyes the crowns of kings under His
feet. Now, when I look, I see all the powers and nations defeated, scattered
and lost in the wilderness while the Cause of God is victorious over all and
subdues all. All future events are evident and visible to the eyes of the holy
Manifestations.
(Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, 21 September 1912, Omaha-Lincoln, USA;
‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
