Praise thou God that in this age, the age of the dispensation of Baha'u'llah, thou hast been awakened, hast been made aware of the Manifestation of the Lord of Hosts. All the people of the world are buried in the graves of nature, or are slumbering, heedless and unaware. Just as Christ saith: 'I may come when you are not aware. The coming of the Son of Man is like the coming of a thief into a house, the owner of which is utterly unaware.' (Selections from the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Baha 198-9) (152:3) It has been suggested that the main message of these verses (v. 42-50) is that the believer who wishes to be ready for Christ's return must remain faithful to His teachings.
(152:4)
