And when Thy promise came to pass and the set time was
fulfilled, He Who is the Possessor of all Names and Attributes was made
manifest unto men. Thereupon all that were in the heavens and all that were on
the earth were terror-stricken save those whom Thou didst keep under Thy
protection and preserve within the shelter of Thy power and gracious
providence. There befell Him, at the hands of such of Thy creatures as have
transgressed against Thee, that which the tongue of no one of Thy servants can
recount.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
