FULFILLMENT OF PROPHECY
| |
1 |
A fire from the Kingdom hath been kindled in the heart of the
world, in the Blessed Tree, whose flame shall ere long set aglow
the pillars of the earth and its rays illumine the horizons of the
nations. All the signs have appeared, all the prophetic references
have become clear, all that was revealed in the Books and Scriptures
hath become fully manifest, and there is no ground for any
one to hesitate in regard thereto.

Some people of former times and some sects avoided certain
others as strangers, but now the glorious beloved One hath ridden
upon His swift coursing steed, encircling about in the arena of
truth and all that was hidden became manifest.

Let there be no more silence nor reticence, taciturnity nor negligence.
The Candle is lighted--yet the moths continue motionless
and melancholy behind the veils.

Now is the time to roar like unto a sea and seek to ascend
heavenward! If we desire to reach the apex of the Supreme
Kingdom, we must unfurl our wings; if we wish to dive into the
depths of the ocean, we must teach our limbs swimming. The
time is short and the Divine Courser moves swiftly on; let us
keep up and compete with each other and let us light a brilliant
candle!
