Say, most people have openly repudiated God and
have followed the rebellious wicked doers. Such people resemble those who
have gone before them, upholding every hostile oppressor. Verily no God is
there but God; His is the kingdom of heaven and earth and He is the
Clement, the All-Knowing. God testifieth that there is no God but Him, and
He Who speaketh at the bidding of His Lord is but the First to worship
Him. He is the peerless Creator Who hath created the heavens and the earth
and whatsoever lieth between them, and all do His bidding. He is the One
Whose grace hath encompassed all that are in the heavens, on earth or
elsewhere, and everyone abideth by His behest.
"It behooveth you to await the Day of the appearance of ..."
It behooveth you to await the Day of the appearance of Him Whom God shall
manifest. Indeed My aim in planting the Tree of the Bayan hath been none
other than to enable you to recognize Me. In truth I Myself am the first
to bow down before God and to believe in Him. Therefore let not your
recognition become fruitless, inasmuch as the Bayan, notwithstanding the
sublimity of its station, beareth fealty to Him Whom God shall make
manifest, and it is He Who beseemeth most to be acclaimed as the Seat of
divine Reality, though indeed He is I and I am He. However, when the Tree
of the Bayan attaineth its highest development, We shall bend it low as a
token of adoration towards its Lord Who will appear in the person of Him
Whom God shall make manifest.
