O
Temple of Divine Revelation! Sound the
trumpet in My Name! O Temple of Divine
mysteries! Raise the clarion call of Thy
Lord, the Unconditioned, the Unconstrained!
O Maid of Heaven! Step forth from
the chambers of paradise and announce unto the people of the world: By the righteousness of God! He Who is the Best-Beloved of the worlds—He
Who hath ever been the Desire of every perceiving heart, the Object of the adoration
of all that are in heaven and on earth, and the Cynosure of the former and the
latter generations—is now come!
- Baha'u'llah (Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
