Give ear, O peoples of the earth, unto that which the Pen of
the Lord of all nations commandeth you. Know ye of a certainty that the
Dispensations of the past have attained their highest, their final consummation
in the Law that hath branched out from this Most Great Ocean. Haste ye
thereunto at Our behest. We, verily, ordain as We please.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet
to Napoleon III, Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of
Hosts’)
