Such was the confusion reigning in Persia at this time - a people in revolt! For years murder and martyrdom were everyday occurrences. Up to the time when Baha'o'llah was exiled to Baghdad, every means conceivable was used to annihilate his teachings' but for one man killed, a hundred have come forward; for one family destroyed, a hundred have arisen and in this proportion are the friends of justice increasing in Persia and throughout the world.

(66:2)
