Owing to the recent war and the great convulsion that
ensued, souls that were fast asleep have been awakened, the heedless have
become mindful, and the fame of the Divine Teachings hath been diffused
throughout all regions. After fifty years, that which was promised in the
Kitáb-i-Aqdas and the Súriy-i-Haykal hath been fulfilled and realized, and the
significance of the words addressed to Berlin hath become as apparent and
manifest as the clear horizon. The mystery of the words of warning to Wilhelm
hath been made evident, and the address to the “Spot situated between the two
seas” hath become as manifest as the sun and moon in the heavens. The verse
“the throne of tyranny hath, verily, been established upon thee” and the great
prophecies and momentous happenings foretold by the Pen of the Most High have
all come to pass. - ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet dated 30 July 1919, ‘Additional
Tablets, Extracts and Talks’, Online Baha’i Reference Library of the Baha’i
World Center)
