Praise be to God!-- that each one of that assembly is like unto a shining lamp, is ignited by the fire of the love of God, hath closed his eyes to the world and the inhabitants thereof, hath burned away the veils of superstitions and hath acquired the treasury of Truth. I have loosened my tongue to thank God for this gift at the Threshold of Oneness and praised and glorified the Incomparable God for His bounty, because He assisted those souls in the service of the Kingdom, and established such an assembly in New York that it will finally become a cause of the guidance of that continent. (429:4) You have written that there is a difference among the believers concerning the "Second Coming of Christ." Praise be to God!-- time and again this question hath arisen and its answer hath emanated in a clear and irrefutable text from the pen of Abdul-Baha that what is meant in the prophecies by the "Lord of Hosts," the "promised Christ" is the Blessed Perfection (BAHA'O'LLAH) and His Highness the Supreme (the BAB). The faith of everyone must revolve around this palpable and evident text.
(429:5)
