It is clear and evident that when the veils that conceal the
realities of the manifestations of the Names and Attributes of God, nay of all
created things visible or invisible, have been rent asunder, nothing except the
Sign of God will remain—a sign which He, Himself, hath placed within these
realities. This sign will endure as long as is the wish of the Lord thy God,
the Lord of the heavens and of the earth. If such be the
blessings conferred on all created things, how superior must be the destiny of
the true believer, whose existence and life are to be regarded as the
originating purpose of all creation. Just as the conception of faith hath
existed from the beginning that hath no beginning, and will endure till the end
that hath no end, in like manner will the true believer eternally live and
endure. His spirit will everlastingly circle round the Will of God. He will
last as long as God, Himself, will last. He is revealed through the Revelation
of God, and is hidden at His bidding. It is evident that the loftiest mansions
in the Realm of Immortality have been ordained as the habitation of them that
have truly believed in God and in His signs. Death can never invade that holy
seat. Thus have We entrusted thee with the signs of thy Lord, that thou mayest
persevere in thy love for Him, and be of them that comprehend this truth.
