And in another connection:  “O peoples of the earth!  Haste ye to do the pleasure of God, and war ye valiantly, as it behooveth you to war, for the sake of proclaiming His resistless and immovable Cause.  We have decreed that war shall be waged in the path of God with the armies of wisdom and utterance, and of a goodly character and praiseworthy deeds.  Thus hath it been decided by Him Who is the All-Powerful, the Almighty.  There is no glory for him that committeth disorder on the earth after it hath been made so good.  Fear God, O people, and be not of them that act unjustly.”

And again in another connection:  “Revile ye not one another.  We, verily, have come to unite and weld together all that dwell on earth.  Unto this beareth witness what the ocean of Mine utterance hath revealed amongst men, and yet most of the people have gone astray.  If anyone revile you, or trouble touch you, in the path of God, be patient, and put your trust in Him Who heareth, Who seeth.  He, in truth, witnesseth, and perceiveth, and doeth what He pleaseth, through the power of His sovereignty.  He, verily, is the Lord of strength, and of might.  In the Book of God, the Mighty, the Great, ye have been forbidden to engage in contention and conflict.  Lay fast hold on whatever will profit you, and profit the peoples of the world.  Thus commandeth you the King of Eternity, Who is manifest in His Most Great Name.  He, verily, is the Ordainer, the All-Wise.”

And yet again in another connection:  “Beware lest ye shed the blood of any one.  Unsheathe the sword of your tongue from the scabbard of utterance, for therewith ye can conquer the citadels of men’s hearts.  We have abolished the law to wage holy war against each other.  God’s mercy hath, verily, encompassed all created things, if ye do but understand.”

And yet again in another connection:  “O people!  Spread not disorder in the land, and shed not the blood of any one, and consume not the substance of others wrongfully, neither follow every accursed prattler.”

And still again in another connection:  “The Sun of Divine Utterance can never set, neither can its radiance be extinguished.  These sublime words have, in this day, been heard from the Lote-Tree beyond which there is no passing:  ’I belong to him that loveth Me, that holdeth fast My commandments, and casteth away the things forbidden him in My Book.’”

And still again in another connection:  “This is the day to make mention of God, to celebrate His praise, and to serve Him; deprive not yourselves thereof.  Ye are the letters of the words, and the words of the Book.  Ye are the saplings which the hand of Loving-kindness hath planted in the soil of mercy, and which the showers of bounty have made to flourish.  He hath protected you from the mighty winds of misbelief, and the tempestuous gales of impiety, and nurtured you with the hands of His loving providence.  Now is the time for you to put forth your leaves, and yield your fruit.
