We have also heard a number of the foolish of the earth
assert that the genuine text of the heavenly Gospel doth not exist amongst the
Christians, that it hath ascended unto heaven. How grievously they have erred!
How oblivious of the fact that such a statement imputeth the gravest injustice
and tyranny to a gracious and living Providence! How could God, when once the
daystar of the beauty of Jesus had disappeared from the sight of His people,
and ascended unto the fourth heaven, cause His holy Book, His most great
testimony amongst His creatures, to disappear also? What would be left to that
people to cling to from the setting of the daystar of Jesus until the rise of
the sun of the Muhammadan Dispensation?
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
