The weight of the potentialities with which this Faith,
possessing no peer or equal in the world’s spiritual history, and marking the
culmination of a universal prophetic cycle, has been endowed, staggers our
imagination. The brightness of the millennial glory which it must shed in the
fullness of time dazzles our eyes. The magnitude of the shadow which its Author
will continue to cast on successive Prophets destined to be raised up after Him
eludes our calculation.
- Shoghi Effendi (Preface to ‘God Passes By’)
