O people of loyalty, O people of faithfulness, O people who
are awakened by the Breath of God, O people who are inhaling the scent of life
from the Spirit of God! The path hath become smooth, the way straightened, the
carpet of the Kingdom is spread, the Tabernacle hath been elevated upon the Hill
of Might, the powers of heaven have been shaken, the corners of the earth have
quaked, the sun has been darkened, the moon ceased to give light, the stars
have fallen, the nations of the earth have lamented, and the Son of Man hath
come upon the clouds of heaven with power and great glory, and He hath sent His
angels with the sound of the great trumpet, and no one knows the meaning of
these emblems save the wise and informed.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
