"By 'oppression' (mentioned in the Bible prophecies) is meant the want of capacity to acquire spiritual knowledge and apprehend the Word of God." (Iqan 32) "Such a condition as this is witness in this day when the reins of every community have fallen into the grasp of foolish leaders, who lead after their own whims and desire. On their tongue the mention of God hath become and empty name; in their midst His holy Word a dead letter." (Iqan 29) (25:8)

"When the channel of the human soul is cleansed of all worldly and impeding attachments, it will unfailingly perceive the breath of the Beloved" (Holy Spirit?) "across the immeasurable distance, and will, led by its perfume, attain and enter the City of Certitude... Once in about a thousand years shall this City be renewed and re- adorned... That City is none other than the Word of God revealed in every age and dispensation." (Bwf 108) (25:9)

"Thank God for... manifesting unto thee the Evident Light... Thou shalt advance unto the Lofty Station, acquire heavenly qualities and attain knowledge of the significances of the words of God in this glorious day." (Bwf 361) (25:10)
