`Call out to Zion, O Carmel, and announce the joyful
tidings: He that was hidden from mortal eyes is come! His
all-conquering sovereignty is manifest; His all-encompassing
splendour is revealed. Beware lest thou hesitate or halt.
Hasten forth and circumambulate the City of God that
hath descended from heaven, the celestial Kaaba round
which have circled in adoration the favoured of God, the
pure in heart, and the company of the most exalted angels.
Oh, how I long to announce unto every spot on the surface
of the earth, and to carry to each one of its cities, the glad-tidings
of this Revelation--a Revelation to which the heart
of Sinai hath been attracted, and in whose name the Burning
Bush is calling: "Unto God, the Lord of Lords, belong
the kingdoms of earth and heaven."
Verily this is the Day
in which both land and sea rejoice at this announcement,
the Day for which have been laid up those things which
God, through a bounty beyond the ken of mortal mind or
heart, hath destined for revelation. Ere long will God sail
His Ark upon thee, and will manifest the people of Bahá
who have been mentioned in the Book of Names.'
