148: PIONEERING
| |

"...Sometimes people strive all their lives to render outstanding
service. Here is the time and opportunity to render
historic services; in fact the most unique in history, aiding
in the fulfillment of Daniel's Prophecies of the Last Day,
and the 1335 days, when men are to be blessed by the Glory
of the Lord, covering the entire globe--which is the real goal
of the Ten Year Crusade.

"In other words, when we fulfill the Ten Year Crusade we
will have brought into fulfillment Daniel's great prophecy of
'Blessed is he who waits and comes to the 1335 days.' What
could be more wonderful than taking part in the fulfillment
of religious prophecy of over 3,000 years!"

"The pioneers themselves must realize that not only are
they fulfilling the wishes of Bahá'u'lláh, and doing that which
the Master Himself said He longed to do; namely, to go, if
necessary on foot, and carry His Father's Message to all the
regions of the earth; but they are enhancing the prestige of the
Faith to a remarkable degree in the eyes of the public, and
specially in the eyes of the officials. There is no doubt that the
rapid forward march of the Faith recently has attracted a far
greater measure of attention on the part of the thoughtful
people, and people of position in society and in educational
fields, than has been the case for almost one hundred years.

"Therefore, each pioneer must feel his responsibility very
heavily, and understand that his calling is far above the average
service; and his duty to remain at his post a very pressing one
indeed."
