The thing that must come hath come suddenly; behold how they
flee from it! The inevitable hath come to pass; witness how they have cast it
behind their backs! This is the Day whereon every man will fly from himself,
how much more from his kindred, could ye but perceive it. Say: By God! The
blast hath been blown on the trumpet, and lo, mankind hath swooned away before
us! The Herald hath cried out, and the Summoner raised His voice saying: “The
Kingdom is God’s, the Most Powerful, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.”
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
