Give a hearing ear, O people, to that which I, in truth, say unto you. The one true God, exalted
be His glory, hath ever regarded, and will continue to
regard, the hearts of men as His own, His exclusive
possession. All else, whether pertaining to land or
sea, whether riches or glory, He hath bequeathed
unto the Kings and rulers of the earth. From the beginning
that hath no beginning the ensign proclaiming
the words "He doeth whatsoever He willeth"
hath been unfurled in all its splendor before His
Manifestation. What mankind needeth in this day
is obedience unto them that are in authority, and a
faithful adherence to the cord of wisdom. The instruments
which are essential to the immediate protection,
the security and assurance of the human race
have been entrusted to the hands, and lie in the grasp,
of the governors of human society. This is the wish of
God and His decree.... We cherish the hope that
one of the kings of the earth will, for the sake of
God, arise for the triumph of this wronged, this oppressed
people. Such a king will be eternally extolled
and glorified. God hath prescribed unto this people
the duty of aiding whosoever will aid them, of serving
his best interests, and of demonstrating to him
their abiding loyalty. They who follow Me must
strive, under all circumstances, to promote the welfare
of whosoever will arise for the triumph of My
Cause, and must at all times prove their devotion
and fidelity unto him. Happy is the man that hearkeneth
and observeth My counsel. Woe unto him that
faileth to fulfil My wish. |
