The Pen of Revelation exclaimeth: “On this Day the Kingdom
is God’s!” The Tongue of Power is calling: “On this Day all sovereignty is, in
very deed, with God!” The Phoenix of the realms above crieth out from the
immortal Branch: “The glory of all greatness belongeth to God, the
Incomparable, the All-Compelling!” The Mystic Dove proclaimeth from its
blissful bower, in the everlasting Paradise: “The source of all bounty is
derived, in this Day, from God, the One, the Forgiving!” The Bird of the Throne
warbleth its melody in its retreats of holiness: “Supreme ascendancy is to be
attributed, this Day, to none except God, Him Who hath no peer nor equal, Who
is the Most Powerful, the All-Subduing!” The inmost essence of all things
voiceth in all things the testimony: “All forgiveness floweth, in this Day,
from God, Him to Whom none can compare, with Whom no partners can be joined,
the Sovereign Protector of all men, and the Concealer of their sins!” The
Quintessence of Glory hath lifted up its voice above My head, and crieth from
such heights as neither pen nor tongue can in any degree describe: “God is my
witness! He, the Ancient of everlasting days is come, girded with majesty and
power. There is none other God but Him, the All-Glorious, the Almighty, the
All-Highest, the All-Wise, the All-Pervading, the All-Seeing, the All-Informed,
the Sovereign Protector, the Source of eternal light!” (Baha’u’llah, ‘Gleanings
form the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
