Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh Revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas eBook
Bahá'u'lláh
’Call out to Zion, O Carmel, and announce the
joyful tidings: He that was hidden from mortal
eyes is come! His all-conquering sovereignty is
manifest; His all-encompassing splendour is revealed.
Beware lest thou hesitate or halt. Hasten forth
and circumambulate the City of God that hath descended
from heaven, the celestial Kaaba round which have circled
in adoration the favoured of God, the pure in heart,
and the company of the most exalted angels. Oh,
how I long to announce unto every spot on the surface
of the earth, and to carry to each one of its cities,
the glad-tidings of this Revelation—a Revelation
to which the heart of Sinai hath been attracted, and
in whose name the Burning Bush is calling: “Unto
God, the Lord of Lords, belong the kingdoms of earth
and heaven.” Verily this is the Day in
which both land and sea rejoice at this announcement,
the Day for which have been laid up those things which
God, through a bounty beyond the ken of mortal mind
or heart, hath destined for revelation. Ere long
will God sail His Ark upon thee, and will manifest
the people of Baha who have been mentioned in the Book
of Names.’
Sanctified be the Lord of all mankind, at the mention
of Whose name all the atoms of the earth have been
made to vibrate, and the Tongue of Grandeur hath been
moved to disclose that which had been wrapt in His
knowledge and lay concealed within the treasury of
His might. He, verily, through the potency of
His name, the Mighty, the All-Powerful, the Most High,
is the ruler of all that is in the heavens and all
that is on earth.
LAWH-I-AQDAS (THE MOST HOLY TABLET)(1)
This is the Most Holy Tablet sent down from the holy
kingdom unto the one who hath set his face towards
the Object of the adoration of the world, He Who hath
come from the heaven of eternity, invested with transcendent
glory
In the name of the Lord, the Lord of great glory.
This is an Epistle from Our presence unto him
whom the veils of names have failed to keep back from
God, the Creator of earth and heaven, that his eyes
may be cheered in the days of his Lord, the Help in
Peril, the Self-Subsisting.
Say, O followers of the Son!(2) Have ye shut out yourselves
from Me by reason of My Name? Wherefore ponder
ye not in your hearts? Day and night ye have
been calling upon your Lord, the Omnipotent, but when
He came from the heaven of eternity in His great glory,
ye turned aside from Him and remained sunk in heedlessness.
Consider those who rejected the Spirit(3) when He
came unto them with manifest dominion. How numerous
the Pharisees who had secluded themselves in synagogues
in His name, lamenting over their separation from Him,
and yet when the portals of reunion were flung open
and the divine Luminary shone resplendent from the
Dayspring of Beauty, they disbelieved in God, the
Exalted, the Mighty. They failed to attain His
