to come after
Him. He shall come with the Kingdom of God and His power which hath
surrounded the world. This power (or reign) is in the world of hearts and
spirits and not in that of matter (or bodies). For the material world is
not comparable to a single wing of a fly, or rather less in the sight of
thy Lord, wert thou of those who know! Verily Christ came with His Kingdom
from the beginning which hath no beginning and will come with His Kingdom
to the eternity of eternities, inasmuch as in this sense Christ is an
expression of the divine reality, the simple essence and heavenly entity
which hath no beginning or ending. It hath appearance, arising and
manifestation and setting in each of the cycles.

"O my Lord, I dedicate that which is in my womb unto Thee. Then cause it
to be a praiseworthy child in Thy Kingdom and a fortunate one by Thy favor
and Thy generosity; to develop and to grow up under the charge of Thine
education. Verily Thou art the Gracious! Verily Thou art the Lord of Great

"O thou who art afflicted by a visitation by which thine..."

O thou who art afflicted by a visitation by which thine eyes are
overflowing with tears!

Be not grieved and afflicted for this calamity which hath befallen thee;
nay, rat
