And likewise, in the Lawh-i-Fu’ad, and in the Tablet of the King of Paris (Napoleon III), and in other Tablets, there hath been revealed that which will lead every fair-minded person to testify unto the power, and the majesty, and the wisdom of God—­exalted be His glory.  Were men to observe with the eye of justice, they would be made aware of the secret of this blessed verse:  “Neither is there a thing green or sere, but it is noted in a distinct writing,” and would comprehend it.  On this day, however, men’s repudiation of the truth hath prevented them from understanding what hath been sent down in truth by Him Who is the Revealer, the Ancient of Days.  Gracious God!  Perspicuous signs have appeared on every side, and yet men are, for the most part, deprived of the privilege of beholding and of comprehending them.  We beseech God to bestow His aid, that all men may recognize the pearls that lie hid within the shells of the Most Great Ocean, and exclaim:  “Praised be Thou, O God of the world!”

O concourse of the fair-minded!  Observe and reflect upon the billows of the ocean of the utterance and knowledge of God, so that ye may testify with your inner and outer tongues that with Him is the knowledge of all that is in the Book.  Nothing escapeth His knowledge.  He, verily, hath manifested that which was hidden, when He, upon His return, mounted the throne of the Bayan.  All that hath been sent down hath and will come to pass, word for word, upon earth.  No possibility is left for anyone either to turn aside or protest.  As fairness, however, is disgraced and concealed, most men speak as prompted by their own idle fancies.

O God, my God!  Debar not Thy servants from turning their faces towards the light of certitude, that hath dawned above the horizon of Thy will, and suffer them not to be deprived, O my God, of the oceans of Thy signs.  They, O my Lord, are Thy servants in Thy cities, and Thy slaves in Thy lands.  If Thou hast not mercy upon them, who, then, will show them mercy?  Take Thou, O my God, the hands of such as have been drowned in the sea of idle fancies, and deliver them by Thy power and Thy sovereignty.  Save them, then, with the arms of Thy might.  Powerful art Thou to do what Thou willest, and in Thy right hand are the reins of all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth.

In like manner, the Primal Point saith:  “Behold ye Him with His own eyes.  Were ye to behold Him with the eyes of another, ye would never recognize and know Him.”  This referreth to naught else except this Most Great Revelation.  Well is it with them that judge fairly.  And likewise, He saith:  “The year-old germ that holdeth within itself the potentialities of the Revelation that is to come is endowed with a potency superior to the combined forces of the whole of the Bayan.”  These glad-tidings of the Bayan and of the Books of former times have been repeatedly mentioned under divers names in numerous books, that perchance men might judge equitably that which hath arisen and shone forth above the horizon of the will of God, the Lord of the Mighty Throne.
