BB00396: Kitab al-Vahid 14 (Letter to the fourteenth Temple)
This is what We sent down concerning the fourteenth Temple as a warning to all the worlds.
He is
In the Name of God, the Most Great, the Most High
The remembrance of thy Lord’s manifestation, the Most High, called out: “Verily, I am the Truth! It hath been written from God as a proof for all the worlds.” They said: “We see thee as but a beloved one, and we are indeed knowing.” God said in the Book: “These people have forgotten My remembrance, and for them is a terrible punishment.” He said: “Verily, I am from God. The Book hath come to me and He hath made me a manifest path. And praise be to His Own Truth for having bestowed His bounties upon me. His grace toward me hath been mighty.” They said: “We think thee naught but a liar, and we are certain of this truth.” Until they imprisoned him and forgot God’s remembrance in every line. And We shall forget them as they forget Our presence, for We are all-powerful and all-encompassing.
Nothing escapes from His outpouring that was ordained for Us in the divine realm of might, and We are indeed powerful over all things. Until We witnessed the Day of Resurrection wherein they broke Our covenant and forgot Our remembrance, reckoning themselves to be rightly guided. By God! He shall seize them and banish them as though they had never been mentioned.
And verily We give life and cause death—none giveth life save through Our grace as We will, and We are mighty and exalted. Until We saw that they accepted Our remembrance and were not ashamed before Us, yet these were an evil people, far astray. And We shall cause them to enter the fire as recompense for what they earned behind Our veils, for We are witness over all things. Say: The matter hath been decreed wherein they race, and no protector shall avail another save whom God willeth to show mercy, for He is watchful over all things.
Say: O Letter Tha’, these are clear verses sent down concerning the fourteenth Temple as a remembrance from Us to all the worlds. Bear thou witness that there is no God but I, the Lord of all, the Most High. I created all things for the day of meeting Me, and this is the meeting with the Manifestation of My Self in the blessed quarter. Nothing shall assist Me in any matter except that We shall recompense it on the day of its resurrection amidst My creatures as My proof, for I am indeed a helper. And verily I am God, there is no God but I, before that which hath no before and after that which hath no after.
The proof from My presence is the Point of the Bayan, and I am in truth the heir of all things. No soul believeth in Him on the day of His manifestation but that We shall cause it to enter Paradise as recompense for having testified to My truth, the Manifestation of My Self. O people of the Concourse from the community of the Bayan! Bear witness to My truth in every age and cycle until I call you with My tongue of truth, the Manifestation of My Self from behind the veil:
“Verily, I am God, there is no God but I! I have been pleased with you on the Day of Resurrection with all pleasure from My presence, and I was indeed well-pleased.”
