“O thou who art advancing unto the Kingdom of God!…” |
|
Verily I noted thy writing and was made glad by
thy letter. I pray God to cause thee to attain the
138
bounties of the Kingdom, so that thou mayest arise
for the service of the Cause of God and that of the
world of humanity—and (may God’s) blessing descend
upon thy honorable wife. Verily my Lord is
kind unto His servants and is the Generous, the Giver
of Bounty!

Know that the return of Christ for a second time
doth not mean what the people believe, but, rather,
signifieth the One promised 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.
