We behold you, O children of the Kingdom, in darkness. This,
verily, beseemeth you not. Are ye, in the face of the Light, fearful because of
your deeds? Direct yourselves towards
Him. Your All-Glorious Lord hath blessed His lands with His footsteps. Thus do
We make plain unto you the path of Him Whom the Spirit prophesied. I, verily, bear witness unto Him, even as He
hath borne witness unto Me. Verily, He
said: “Come ye after Me, and I will make
you to become fishers of men.” In this
day, however, We say: “Come ye after Me,
that We may make you to become quickeners of mankind.” Thus hath the decree been inscribed in this
Tablet by the Pen of Revelation.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to Pope Pius IX,
Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
