hings
and the signs of His sovereignty encompassing all creation. On that day ye
will discover how all else besides Him will have been forgotten and come
to be regarded as utter nothingness.

It should, however, be borne in mind that God and His Manifestation can,
under no circumstances, be dissociated from the loftiness and sublimity
which They inherently possess. Nay, loftiness and sublimity are themselves
the creations of His Word, if ye choose to see with My sight not with
yours.

XXX: GOD WITNESSETH THAT THERE IS NO GOD BUT...

God witnesseth that there is no God but Him, the Gracious, the
Best-Beloved. All grace and bounty are His. To whomsoever He will He
giveth whatsoever is His wish. He, verily, is the All-Powerful, the
Almighty, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting. We, verily, believe in
Him Who, in the person of the Bab, hath been sent down by the Will of the
one true God, the King of Kings, the All-Praised. We, moreover, swear

made manifest, as well as to those Who shall come after Him till the end
that hath no end. We recognize in the manifestation of each one of them,
whether outwardly or inwardly, the manifestation of none but God Himself,
if ye be of those that comprehend. Every one of them is a mirror of God,
reflecting naught else but His Self, His Beauty, His Might and Glory, if
ye will understand. All else besides them are to be regarded as mirrors
capable of reflecting the glory of these Manifestations Who are themselves
the Primary Mirrors of the Divine Being, if ye be not devoid of
understanding. No one hath ever escaped them, neither are they to be
hindered from achieving their purpose. These Mirrors will everlastingly
succeed each other, and will continue to reflect the light of the Ancient
of Days. They that reflect their glory will, in like manner, continue to
exist for evermore, for the Grace of God can never cease from flowing.
This is a truth that none can disprove.

XXXI: CONTEMPLATE WITH THINE INWARD EYE THE...

Contemplate with thine inward eye the chain of successive Revelations that
hath linked the Manifestation of Adam with that of the Bab. I testify
before God that each one of these Manifestations hath been sent down
through the operation of the Divine Will and Purpose, that each hath been
the bearer of a specific Message, that each hath been entrusted with a
divinely-revealed Book and
