Verily, the day of ingathering is come, and all things have
been separated from each other. He hath
stored away that which He chose in the vessels of justice, and cast into fire
that which befitteth it. Thus hath it
been decreed by your Lord, the Mighty, the Loving, in this promised Day. He, verily, ordaineth what He pleaseth. There is none other God save He, the
Almighty, the All-Compelling. The desire
of the Divine Sifter hath been to store up every good thing for Mine own
Self. Naught hath He spoken save to acquaint
you with My Cause and to guide you to the path of Him whose mention hath
adorned all the sacred Books.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to Pope Pius IX,
Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
