Hearken unto the melodies of the Gospel with the ear of
fairness. He saith—glorified be His utterance—prophesying the things that are
to come: “But of that Day and Hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of
heaven, nor the Son, but the Father.” By Father in this connection is meant
God—exalted be His glory. He, verily, is the True Educator, and the Spiritual
Teacher.
Joel saith: “For the Day of the Lord is great and very
terrible; and who can abide it?” Firstly, in the sublime utterance set forth in
the Gospel He saith that none is aware of the time of the Revelation, that none
knoweth it except God, the All-Knowing, Who is cognizant of all. Secondly, He
setteth forth the greatness of the Revelation.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle to the
Son of the Wolf’)
