Then will the Throne of Bahá’u’lláh’s sovereignty be founded
in the promised land and the scales of justice be raised on high. Then will the
banner of the independence of the Faith be unfurled, and His Most Great Law be
unveiled and rivers of laws and ordinances stream forth from this snow-white
spot with all-conquering power and awe-inspiring majesty, the like of which
past ages have never seen. Then will appear the truth of what was revealed by
the Tongue of Grandeur: “Call out to Zion, O Carmel, and announce the joyful
tidings: He that was hidden from mortal eyes is come! His all-conquering
sovereignty is manifest; His all-encompassing splendour is revealed.” “...O
Carmel... Well is it with him that circleth around thee, that proclaimeth the
revelation of thy glory, and recounteth that which the bounty of the Lord, thy
God, hath showered upon thee.… Ere long will God sail His Ark upon thee, and
will manifest thepeople of Bahá who have been mentioned in the Book of
Names.”... Through it the pillars of the Faith on this earth will be firmly
established and its hidden powers be revealed, its signs shine forth, its
banners be unfurled and its light be shed upon all peoples.
