O King of Paris! Tell the priests to ring the bells no longer. By God, the True One! The Most Mighty Bell hath appeared
abstract Summons the Emperor to ‘tell the priests to ring the bells no longer’, announcing that He is the one promised by Christ; bids the monks to come forth from their seclusion; prophesies that his ‘kingdom shall be thrown into confusion’ and his empire ‘shall pass from [his] hands’ for ‘casting behind [his] back’ the first epistle from Bahá’u’lláh; recounts the sufferings of Bahá’u’lláh in His successive exiles; counsels the Emperor to watch over his subjects with justice; and instructs him, and the people of the world in general, to teach the Cause of God through the power of utterance, to be trustworthy, and to conceal the sins of others.
