destined to unfold in a later age, He writes: "The world's equilibrium
hath been upset through the vibrating influence of this most great, this
new World Order. Mankind's ordered life hath been revolutionized through
the agency of this unique, this wondrous System--the like of which mortal
eyes have never witnessed." "The Hand of Omnipotence hath established His
Revelation upon an unassailable, an enduring foundation. Storms of human
strife are powerless to undermine its basis, nor will men's fanciful
