PROTECTION OF THE BAHÁ'ÍS
| |
1 |
Throughout these years of disturbance and commotion when
the world of humanity was physically and spiritually afflicted, the
friends of God passed the day in rest, ease and comfort. In the western
countries only a few shared in the hardship and affliction of
other souls while the mass of the friends and the maid-servants of
the Merciful ... have been living quietly and peacefully. In the
Orient every nation became distracted and every gathering dispersed
save the friends of God who remained all protected and
sheltered from every trouble and calamity in the Fort of
Bahá'u'lláh's protection. Verily this is a divine miracle--that we
helpless, friendless, unprotected, unsupported wanderers in these
regions should be saved amidst the fire of oppression and tyranny.
This is God's miracle.
