The Word which the Son concealed is made manifest.  It hath been sent down in the form of the human temple in this day.  Blessed be the Lord Who is the Father!  He, verily, is come unto the nations in His most great majesty.  Turn your faces towards Him, O concourse of the righteous...  This is the day whereon the Rock (Peter) crieth out and shouteth, and celebrateth the praise of its Lord, the All-Possessing, the Most High, saying:  ’Lo!  The Father is come, and that which ye were promised in the Kingdom is fulfilled!...’  My body longeth for the cross, and Mine head waiteth the thrust of the spear, in the path of the All-Merciful, that the world may be purged from its transgressions....

O Supreme Pontiff!  Incline thine ear unto that which the Fashioner of mouldering bones counselleth thee, as voiced by Him Who is His Most Great Name.  Sell all the embellished ornaments thou dost possess, and expend them in the path of God, Who causeth the night to return upon the day, and the day to return upon the night.  Abandon thy kingdom unto the kings, and emerge from thy habitation, with thy face set towards the Kingdom, and, detached from the world, then speak forth the praises of thy Lord betwixt earth and heaven.  Thus hath bidden thee He Who is the Possessor of Names, on the part of thy Lord, the Almighty, the All-Knowing.  Exhort thou the kings and say:  ’Deal equitably with men.  Beware lest ye transgress the bounds fixed in the Book.’  This indeed becometh thee.  Beware lest thou appropriate unto thyself the things of the world and the riches thereof.  Leave them unto such as desire them, and cleave unto that which hath been enjoined upon thee by Him Who is the Lord of creation.  Should any one offer thee all the treasures of the earth, refuse to even glance upon them.  Be as thy Lord hath been.  Thus hath the Tongue of Revelation spoken that which God hath made the ornament of the book of creation...  Should the inebriation of the wine of My verses seize thee, and thou determinest to present thyself before the throne of thy Lord, the Creator of earth and heaven, make My love thy vesture and thy shield remembrance of Me, and thy provision reliance upon God, the Revealer of all power...  Verily, the day of ingathering is come, and all things have been separated from each other.  He hath stored away that which He chose in the vessels of justice, and cast into fire that which befitteth it.  Thus hath it been decreed by your Lord, the Mighty, the Loving, in this promised Day.  He, verily, ordaineth what He pleaseth.  There is none other God save He, the Almighty, the All-Compelling.
