A Tablet of the Bab on Progressive Revelation

Abstract: This brief Tablet of the Báb eloquently manifests His solicitude for the spiritual and moral edification of His followers, declaring that ultimate triumph is reserved for those who revere God. It bears witness to the continuity of divine revelation, invoking the memory of Abraham, Moses, and the one upon whom the Essence was sent, while affirming the immutable verity of God’s decrees. The Tablet enjoins that justice be rightly directed, patience exercised amid adversity, and steadfastness preserved even under outward opposition. It further reflects the Báb’s concern for the faithful propagation of His message, commanding the dispatch of the Book to the sovereign of the earth, and exhorting the followers to maintain reverence, fortitude, and unceasing praise of God.
