By Him Who is the Great Announcement! The All-Merciful is
come invested with undoubted sovereignty. The Balance hath been appointed, and
all them that dwell on earth have been gathered together. The Trumpet hath been
blown, and lo, all eyes have stared up with terror, and the hearts of all who
are in the heavens and on the earth have trembled, except them whom the breath
of the verses of God hath quickened, and who have detached themselves from all
things.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
