Thou hast asked in regard to the 10th verse of the 21st
chapter of Revelation and to the 17th verse:
Know that the firmament of the bright sun of the world of
possibilities is divided into twelve sections, according to mathematical
principles, which are called the twelve constellations; likewise, the Sun of
Truth manifests and pours forth His bounty in twelve constellations of
holiness. By these constellations are meant holy souls who are the
manifestations of purity and the dawning-points of the lights of Unity. Observe
that in the day of His Holiness the Speaker of God (Moses), there were twelve
holy souls who were the leaders of the Truth. In like manner, in the cycle of
His Holiness the Spirit (Jesus Christ), note that there were twelve apostles
under the shadow of the light of the Most High, and the Sun of Truth was
manifested through those bright dawning-places like unto the phenomenal sun.
Likewise, in the time of His Holiness Mohammed, consider that there were twelve
dawning points of holiness who were the manifestations of confirmation. Such is
the case.
