On this night the
fragrance of nearness was wafted, the portals of reunion at the end of days
were flung open, and all created things were moved to exclaim: “The Kingdom is
God’s, the Lord of all names, Who is come with world-embracing sovereignty!” On
this night the Concourse on high celebrated the praise of its Lord, the
Exalted, the Most Glorious, and the realities of the divine names extolled Him
Who is the King of the beginning and the end in this Revelation, a Revelation
through whose potency the mountains have hastened unto Him Who is the
All-Sufficing, the Most High, and the hearts have turned towards the
countenance of their Best-Beloved, and the leaves have been stirred into motion
by the breezes of yearning, and the trees have raised their voices in joyful
reply to the call of Him Who is the Unconstrained, and the entire earth hath
trembled with longing in its desire to attain reunion with the Eternal King,
and all things have been made new by that concealed Word which hath appeared in
this mighty Name.
