Verily it is incumbent upon you to recognize your Lord at
the time of His manifestation, that haply ye may not enter into negation, and
that, ere a prophet is raised by God, ye may find yourselves securely
established upon the sea of affirmation. For if a prophet cometh to you from
God and ye fail to walk in His Way, God will, thereupon, transform your light
into fire. Take heed then that perchance ye may, through the grace of God and
His signs, be enabled to redeem your souls.

Writings of the Báb)
