“O concourse of archbishops!  He Who is the Lord of...”

O concourse of archbishops!  He Who is the Lord of all men hath appeared.  In the plain of guidance He calleth mankind, whilst ye are numbered with the dead!  Great is the blessedness of him who is stirred by the Breeze of God, and hath arisen from amongst the dead in this perspicuous Name.

“O concourse of bishops!  Trembling hath seized all the...”

O concourse of bishops!  Trembling hath seized all the kindreds of the earth, and He Who is the Everlasting Father calleth aloud between earth and heaven.  Blessed the ear that hath heard, and the eye that hath seen, and the heart that hath turned unto Him Who is the Point of Adoration of all who are in the heavens and all who are on earth....

“O concourse of bishops!  Ye are the stars of the heaven...”

O concourse of bishops!  Ye are the stars of the heaven of My knowledge.  My mercy desireth not that ye should fall upon the earth.  My justice, however, declareth:  ‘This is that which the Son (Jesus) hath decreed.’  And whatsoever hath proceeded out of His blameless, His truth-speaking, trustworthy mouth, can never be altered.  The bells, verily, peal out My Name, and lament over Me, but My spirit rejoiceth with evident gladness.  The body of the Loved One yearneth for the cross, and His head is eager for the spear, in the path of the All-Merciful.  The ascendancy of the oppressor can in no wise deter Him from His purpose...  The stars of the heaven of knowledge have fallen, they that adduce the proofs they possess in order to demonstrate the truth of My Cause, and who make mention of God in My name.  When I came unto them, in My majesty, however, they turned aside from Me.  They, verily, are of the fallen.  This is what the Spirit (Jesus) prophesied when He came with the truth, and the Jewish doctors cavilled at Him, until they committed what made the Holy Spirit to lament, and the eyes of such as enjoy near access to God to weep.

“O concourse of priests!  Leave the bells, and come...”

O concourse of priests!  Leave the bells, and come forth, then, from your churches.  It behoveth you, in this day, to proclaim aloud the Most Great Name among the nations.  Prefer ye to be silent, whilst every stone and every tree shouteth aloud:  ‘The Lord is come in His great glory!’ ...He that summoneth men in My name is, verily, of Me, and he will show forth that which is beyond the power of all that are on earth...  Let the Breeze of God awaken you.  Verily, it hath wafted over the world.  Well is it with him that hath discovered the fragrance thereof and been accounted among the well-assured....

“O concourse of priests!  The Day of Reckoning hath...”

O concourse of priests!  The Day of Reckoning hath appeared, the Day whereon He Who was in heaven hath come.  He, verily, is the One Whom ye were promised in the Books of God, the Holy, the Almighty, the All-Praised.  How long will ye wander in the wilderness of heedlessness and superstition?  Turn with your hearts in the direction of your Lord, the Forgiving, the Generous.
