However, God bestoweth upon Me
whatever favours He willeth as He pleaseth, and that which your Lord hath
decreed in the Mother Book is unbounded. _Chapter LXXXVIII._
"God, of a truth, revealed unto Me in the sacred house of ..."
God, of a truth, revealed unto Me in the sacred house of the Ka'bah,
'Verily, I am God, no God is there but Me. I have singled Thee out for
Myself and have chosen Thee as the Remembrance. Indeed, whosoever beareth
allegiance unto Thee by walking in the way of the Bab, for him the
recompense of the next world hath surely been prescribed...' It is
ordained in the Book that upon the realization of the Cause of the
Remembrance, the Most Great Event will have come to pass according to the
dispensation of Providence, and God, truly, is potent over all things.
_Chapter LXXIX._
"O Qurratu'l-'Ayn! Say: Verily I am the One Who is ..."
O Qurratu'l-'Ayn! Say: Verily I am the One Who is hailed in the Mother
Book as the 'Great Announcement'. Say: The people have grievously differed
over Me, whereas in truth there is no difference between Me and the Bab;
and God, the Eternal Truth, is sufficient witness. _Chapter LXXVII._
"I Am the Mystic Fane which the Hand of Omnipotence ..."
I am the Mystic Fane which the Hand of Omnipotence hath reared. I am the
Lamp which the Finger of God hath lit within its niche and caused to shine
with deathless splendour. I am the Flame of that supernal Light that
glowed upon Sinai in the gladsome Spot, and lay concealed in the midst of
the Burning Bush.
