Abstract	In a sort of continuum, Il Mistero di Dio opens where La Luce dell-Occidente closes. In Egypt. Where 'Abdu'l-Bahá lands on June 17, 1913 for his last stay in that land. It is the beginning of a perfectly curated story of the last years of the ministry of the Servant of Glory. Until the conclusion of His earthly life, on November 28, 1921, "on an autumn Palestinian night, so remote from His homeland, from its smells, from its streets, from its flowers, from its desert, from its traditions, from its peaks snowy, from the fascinating lament of its thousand sapphire-hearted poets!”. With the sweetness of these words the author accompanies the return of the glorious spirit of 'Abdu'l-Bahá to the Father. In the midst of these two events, the landing at Port Said and the Ascension, over 200 pages populated with characters who revolved around the blazing light and the endless love of the Master. Among all, the figure of his beloved wife, Munírih Khanum, shines, who in a moment of sadness is comforted by the Master with the invitation to "bring to mind the favors received so that the darkness of pain turns into the brilliance of the moon". The book focuses on the years of the First World War, on the first successful rural development experiment of the Bahá'í community of Adasiyyah, on the moments that accompanied the revelation of the Divine Plan Tablets, on the two intrepid believers of Tehran to whom we owe the delivery of the first Table in The Hague. And on the earthly story of Curtis Kelsey and Auguste Forel, among the many travel companions of the leave years.
