The hour is approaching when the most great
convulsion will have appeared... I swear by God! The promised day is come, the
day when tormenting trials will have surged above your heads, and beneath your
feet, saying: ‘Taste ye, what your hands have wrought.’
(Baha’u’llah, quoted by
Shoghi Effendi in a letter dated July 28, 1939; ‘Messages to America’)
