aven even as He came down the first
time, and He desireth to shelter you beneath the shade of His mercy. He,
verily, is the Exalted, the Mighty, the Supreme Helper. The Beloved One
loveth not that ye be consumed with the fire of your desires. Were ye to
be shut out as by a veil from Him, this would be for no other reason than
your own waywardness and ignorance. Ye make mention of Me, and know Me
not. Ye call upon Me, and are heedless of My Revelation, notwithstanding
that I came unto you from the heaven of pre-existence with surpassing
glory. Rend the veils asunder in My name and through the power of My
sovereignty that ye may discover a path unto your Lord.

128 The King of Glory proclaimeth from the tabernacle of majesty and
grandeur His call, saying: O people of the Gospel! They who were not in
the Kingdom have now entered it, whilst We behold you, in this day,
tarrying at the gate. Rend the veils asunder by the power of your Lord,
the Almighty, the All-Bounteous, and enter, then, in My name My Kingdom.
Thus biddeth you He Who desireth for you everlasting life. He, verily, is
potent over all things. Blessed are those who have recognized the Light
and hastened unto it. They, verily, dwell in the Kingdom, and partake of
the food and drink of God's chosen ones.

129 We behold you, O children of the Kingdom, in darkness. This, verily,
beseemeth you not. Are ye, in the face of the Light, fearful because of
your deeds? Direct yourselves towards Him. Your All-Glorious Lord hath
blessed His lands with His footsteps. Thus do We make plain unto you the
path of Him Whom the Spirit prophesied. I, verily, bear witness unto Him,
even as He hath borne witness unto Me. Verily, He said: "Come ye after Me,
and I will make you to become fishers of men." In this day, however, We
say: "Come ye after Me, that We may make you to become quickeners of
mankind." Thus hath the decree been inscribed in this Tablet by the Pen of
Revelation.

130 O Pen of the Most High! Bestir Thyself in remembrance of other kings
in this blessed and luminous Book, that perchance they may rise from the
couch of heedlessness and give ear unto that which the Nightingale singeth
upon the branches of the Divine Lote-Tree, and hasten towards God in this
most wondrous and sublime Revelation.
