BH03745: O thou who gazest upon the Most Exalted Horizon!…

He is the One Who calleth out between earth and heaven

O thou who gazest upon the Most Exalted Horizon! Hearken unto the Call of the Lord of all beings. He draweth thee unto a station where neither the might of the world will frighten thee nor will the hosts of the nations, who have remained heedless of this Most Great, this Mighty Cause, prevent thee. That which thou beholdest today shall perish, while the Kingdom and the Dominion will remain with God, the One, the All-Powerful, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.

Say: The Abu-Jahl of this age hath pronounced judgment against Muhammad the Apostle of God, and the Samiri against Him Who conversed with God, and the Jews against the Spirit, the Glorious, the Resplendent. And the people of the Furqan have risen against the Revealer of the Bayan, and the viper hath risen against God, the Help in Peril, the Mighty, the Powerful—for it did bite My chosen ones who soared in My atmosphere, turned unto My face, drank the choice wine of My love, held fast unto My cord, and clung to My sanctified and holy and mighty and inaccessible hem.

Observe then the people and their deeds. They have taken the viper as their leader instead of God and have committed that which hath caused the Concourse on High to lament and those who circle round My mighty Throne to weep. God hath seized it through His sovereignty and power from His presence, yet most of the people remain heedless. They have attained unto their desire and have sacrificed their souls and their wealth in the path of God, the Lord of all worlds, but the people have lost through their deeds. Soon shall they find themselves in manifest loss.

The Most Exalted Pen hath revealed in their remembrance that which all the treasures of the earth cannot equal. Thus hath the matter been decreed from the presence of thy Lord, the Gracious. Blessed is the strong one whom the hosts of tyranny have not weakened, and the speaker who hath held fast unto My All-Wise Name.

Say: Hold fast unto the cord of wisdom in all circumstances—this is what God hath decreed in most of the Tablets. He is verily the Expositor, the All-Knowing.

The Glory be upon thee and upon him who remaineth steadfast in this Cause, whereby every ignorant doubter hath been sorely troubled.
