It should not be surmised that the events which have taken
place in all corners of the globe, including the sacred land of Iran, have
occurred as isolated incidents without any aim and purpose. According to the
words of our beloved Guardian, "The invisible hand is at work and the
convulsions taking place on earth are a prelude to the proclamation of the
Cause of God." This is but one of the mysterious forces of this supreme
Revelation which is causing the limbs of mankind to quake and those who are
drunk with pride and negligence to be thunderstruck and shaken. To the truth of
this testifies the sacred verse: "The world's equilibrium hath been upset
through the vibrating influence of this most great, this new World Order,"
and the repeated warnings of the Pen of the Most High, such as:
“The world is encircled with calamities. Even if at times some good may be evident, it is inevitable that a great calamity followeth -- and yet no one on earth hath perceived its origin.” (The Universal House of Justice, from a letter dated 10 February 1980; Messaged from the Universal House of Justice 1963-1986)
