One word more in conclusion. The proclamation of the Oneness of Mankind - the head corner-stone of Baha'u'llah's all-embracing dominion - can under no circumstances be compared with such expressions of pious hope as have been uttered in the past. His is not merely a call which He raised, alone and unaided, in the face of the relentless and combined opposition of two of the most powerful Oriental potentates of His day - while Himself an exile and prisoner in their hands. It implies at once a warning and a promise - a warning that in it lies the sole means for the salvation of a greatly suffering world, a promise that its realization is at hand.
(47:1)
