This is the Day, O my Lord, which Thou didst announce unto
all mankind as the Day whereon Thou wouldst reveal Thy Self, and shed Thy radiance,
and shine brightly over all Thy creatures. Thou hast, moreover, entered into a
covenant with them, in Thy Books, and Thy Scriptures, and Thy Scrolls, and Thy
Tablets, concerning Him Who is the Day-Spring of Thy Revelation, and hast
appointed the Bayán to be the Herald of this Most Great and all-glorious
Manifestation, and this most resplendent and most sublime Appearance. - Baha’u’llah ('Prayers and Meditations by Bahá'u'lláh'; The
Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, The Covenant)
