Followers of the Gospel, behold the gates of heaven are flung
open. He that had ascended unto it is now come. Give ear to His voice calling
aloud over land and sea, announcing to all mankind the advent of this
Revelation—a Revelation through the agency of which the Tongue of Grandeur is
now proclaiming: ‘Lo, the sacred Pledge hath been fulfilled, for He, the
Promised One, is come!’
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in a letter
dated February 8, 1934; ‘The Dispensation of
Baha’u’llah’)
