“The day is approaching when God will have, by an act of His
Will, raised up a race of men the nature of which is inscrutable to all save
God, the All-Powerful, the Self-Subsisting.” “He will, erelong, out of the
Bosom of Power, draw forth the Hands of Ascendancy and Might—Hands who will
arise to win victory for this Youth, and who will purge mankind from the
defilement of the outcast and the ungodly. These Hands will gird up their loins
to champion the Faith of God, and will, in My name, the Self-Subsistent, the
Mighty, subdue the peoples and kindreds of the earth. They will enter the
cities, and will inspire with fear the hearts of all their inhabitants. Such
are the evidences of the might of God; how fearful, how vehement is His might!”
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’)
