35: CATASTROPHE (The Apocalyptic Upheaval)

“We have no indication of exactly what nature the apocalyptic upheaval will be; it might be another war … but as students of our Bahá’í Writings, it is clear that the longer the ‘Divine Physician’ (i.e. Bahá’u’lláh) is withheld from healing the ills of 13 the world, the more severe will be the crisis, and the more terrible the sufferings of the patient.”
