O Shaykh! Peruse that which Isaiah hath spoken in His Book.
He saith: “Get thee up into the high mountain, O Zion, that bringest good
tidings; lift up Thy Voice with strength, O Jerusalem, that bringest good
tidings. Lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah: ‘Behold your
God! Behold the Lord God will come with strong hand, and His arm shall rule for
Him.’” This Day all the signs have appeared. A Great City hath descended from
heaven, and Zion trembleth and exulteth with joy at the Revelation of God, for
it hath heard the Voice of God on every side. This Day Jerusalem hath attained
unto a new Evangel…
- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle to the Son of the Wolf’)
