“This is the Day whereon the Ocean of God’s mercy hath been
manifested unto men, the Day in which the Daystar of His loving-kindness hath
shed its radiance upon them, the Day in which the clouds of His bountiful favor
have overshadowed the whole of mankind.” “By the righteousness of Mine own
Self! Great, immeasurably great is this Cause! Mighty, inconceivably mighty is
this Day!” “Every Prophet hath announced the coming of this Day, and every
Messenger hath groaned in His yearning for this Revelation—a revelation which,
no sooner had it been revealed than all created things cried out saying, ‘The
earth is God’s, the Most Exalted, the Most Great!’”
- Baha’u’llah (Excerpts
quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’)
