He will, erelong, out of the Bosom of Power, draw forth the
Hands of Ascendancy and Might –– Hands who will arise to win victory for this
Youth, and who will purge mankind from the defilement of the outcast and the
ungodly. These Hands will gird up their loins to champion the Faith of God, and
will, in My name, the Self-Subsistent, the Mighty, subdue the peoples and
kindreds of the earth. They will enter the cities, and will inspire with fear
the hearts of all their inhabitants. Such are the evidences of the might of
God; how fearful, how vehement is His might!
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in a dated 25
