YE ARE THE ANGELS
| |
1 |
Verily, I, from this brilliant and Blessed Spot, speak to you
face to face, while ye are in that far distant country, saying:
| |
2 |
"O people of loyalty, O people of faithfulness, O people who
are awakened by the Breath of God, O people who are inhaling
the scent of life from the Spirit of God! The path hath become
smooth, the way straightened, the carpet of the Kingdom is spread,
the Tabernacle hath been elevated upon the Hill of Might, the
powers of heaven have been shaken, the corners of the earth have
quaked, the sun has been darkened, the moon ceased to give light,
the stars have fallen, the nations of the earth have lamented, and
the Son of Man hath come upon the clouds of heaven with power
and great glory, and He hath sent His angels with the sound of
the great trumpet, and no one knows the meaning of these emblems
save the wise and informed.

"Ye are the angels, if your feet be firm, your spirits rejoiced,
your secret thoughts pure, your eyes consoled, your ears opened,
your breasts dilated with joy, and your souls gladdened, and if
you arise to assist the Covenant, to resist dissension and to be
attracted to the Effulgence! Verily, I say unto you that the Word
of God has assuredly been explained and has become an evident
sign and a strong and solid proof, and its traces shall be spread in
the East and West, and to these all heads shall bow and all souls
shall submit and kneel down with their faces to the ground."
