The Forerunner, John the Baptist, said of Christ: (97:7) "He that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear." (Matt 3:11) (97:8) see The Bab said of the One yet to come: (97:9) "Of all the tributes I have paid to Him Who is to come after me, the greatest is this, My written confession, that no words of Mine can adequately describe Him, nor can any reference to Him in My Book... do justice to His Cause." (97:10) The Bab considered himself only a "ring upon the hand" of Him Who was yet to come. He said that he would be the first to bow down before Him. He told his own followers: (98:1) "I, verily, am a believer in Him, and in His Faith, and in His Book, and in His Testimonies... and pride Myself on My belief in Him." (Esw p154)
(98:2)
