He [the Báb] saith—glorified be His utterance…: “This,
verily, is the thing We promised thee, ere the moment We answered thy call.
Wait thou until nine will have elapsed from the time of the Bayán. Then
exclaim: ‘Blessed, therefore, be God, the most excellent of Makers!’ Say: This,
verily, is an Announcement which none except God hath comprehended. Ye,
however, will be unaware on that day.” In the year nine this Most Great
Revelation arose and shone forth brightly above the horizon of the Will of God.
None can deny it save he who is heedless and doubteth.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle
to the Son of the Wolf’)
