How very odd.
Here we witness the bizarre spectacle of a variety of souls claiming fealty to Baha’u’llah and His Revelation clamoring and vilifying one another. Then, when one voice among them comes forth with love and gives proofs by quoting from the storehouse of the writings of the Central Figures of the Baha’i Faith they align with each other to attack that individual by denouncing the very writings which he quotes.
Their attacks are couched in the form of personal attacks aimed at the one quoting from the writings but the reality is that they are one and all united in opposing the words of Baha’u’llah, Abdu’l-Baha’ and Shoghi Effendi, to say nothing of their attacks upon the living Gaurdian, Head, Executive Branch Neal Chase Ben Joseph Aghsan. This is indeed a mysterious, grievous affliction.
“How great, how very great is the Cause; how very fierce the onslaught of all the peoples and kindreds of the earth!…One and all they shall arise with all their power to resist His Cause. Then shall the Knights of the Lord, assisted by grace from on high, strengthened by faith, aided by the power of understanding and reinforced by the legions of the Covenant, arise and make manifest the truth of the verse:`Behold the confusion that hath befallen the tribes of the defeated!’ “
Quoted from `Abdu’l-Baha, son of and immediate successor to Baha’u’llah, founder of the Baha’i Faith.
