Baha’i Justice

Dear friends!

Allah’u’Abha!

This Bicentennial Anniversary of the Birth of the Bab (Oct. 20, 1819-Oct. 20, 2019) inaugurates a new epoch in the history, progress, and advancement of the faith in this current phase of the development of the Golden Age of Baha’u’llah begun in 2001 AD–the prophesied and promised year of al-mustaghath: “He Whom is Invoked for Help,” i.e. 9-11 First Responders celestial, terrestrial, and divine!

As of the Sacred Spaces Gathering (Aug. 6-12) the world has experienced the onrushing forces unleashed by the opening of the 7 Seals of the Hopi Fire Clan Tablet revitalizing the 4th World (עוֹלָם עֲשִׂיָה), raising the dead back to life eternal, and opening the Gate of God Most High, born anew on The Autumnal Equinox 176 BE (year BAB (GATE) of the 10th Vahid of the 1st Kull-i-Shay’). According to Baha’u’llah:

“Know ye from what heights your Lord, the All-Glorious is calling? Think ye that ye have recognized the Pen wherewith your Lord, the Lord of all names, commandeth you? Nay, by My life! Did ye but know it, ye would renounce the world, and would hasten with your whole hearts to the presence of the Well-Beloved. Your spirits would be so transported by His Word as to throw into commotion the Greater World–how much more this small and petty one! Thus have the showers of My bounty been poured down from the heaven of My loving-kindness, as a token of My grace; that ye may be of the thankful…. Beware lest the desires of the flesh and of a corrupt inclination provoke divisions among you. Be ye as the fingers of one hand, the members of one body. Thus counselleth you the Pen of Revelation, if ye be of them that believe.

“Consider the mercy of God and His gifts. He enjoineth upon you that which shall profit you, though He Himself can well dispense with all creatures. Your evil doings can never harm Us, neither can your good works profit Us. We summon you wholly for the sake of God. To this every man of understanding and insight will testify.” (Baha’u’llah, GL: LXXII)

From the Jewish Encyclopedia:

“BEHALAH (“terror” or “panic”):

“A name commonly bestowed on several periods of great excitement in Lithuania and Poland…There is reason to believe that there was a Behalah as early as 1754 (Ephraim Solomon Margoliot, “Bet Ephraim,” part “Eben ha-’Ezer,” No. 41, Lemberg, 1818); but the first about which there is positive information occurred in 1764. It is described by Ezekiel Feivel of Dretschin, in his “Toledot Adam” (1st ed., Dyhernfurth, 1801, 11a), in the name of R. Ḥayyim of Volozhin, who describes how, in that year, terror was spread among the Jews of Lithuania…and a discussion of it is found in a responsum by Raphael Cohen of Hamburg (then at Pinsk), dated 1765.

“The second Behalah occurred in Poland between 1780 and 1793. It is mentioned in a responsum in Ezekiel Landau’s “Noda’ bi-Yehudab,” part “Eben ha-’Ezer,” No. 43, which is preceded by the remark that this question from Poland came before Joseph of Posen “in the time of the great excitement before the issue of the severe law [“gezerah”] about marriages, when a rumor was spread . . .”…As Joseph came to Posen in 1780, and Ezekiel Landau died in 1793, this Polish Behalah must have taken place between those dates.

“The next Behalah occurred in 1833. It was caused by some wild rumors of enlisting Jewish girls in the army, and other absurd reports about terrible gezerot, spread before the promulgation of the regulations concerning the Jews, in the year 1835… Bogrov, in his “Zapiski Yevreya,” p. 3, gives a vivid account of this Behalah.

“The latest behalahs took place between 1843 and 1848 [compare 1844-1852 “The Year Nine” BADI CALENDAR] at various Russian towns…The last [prior to publication of the JE] Behalah …has been traced to a poor school-master…According to the reports of people still living (1902) who remember that period, the account of the last Behalah, [is recorded] in a novel of Peter Smolenskin…

“Bibliography: Responsa (No. 9) appended to Raphael ben Yekutiel Cohen’s Torat Jekutiel, Berlin, 1772; Perles, Gesch. der Juden in Posen, in Monatsschrift, xiv. 261; Smolenskin, Ha-Toeh Bedarke ha-Ḥayyim, 3d ed., part 2, p. 169, Vienna, 1880; Levanda, Svornik Zakonov, p. 362; private sources.” (Rosenthal, H. & Wiernik, P. BEHALAH, Jewish Encyclopedia Vol, 2, pp. 641-2)

The year 2020 is the Year 60 from 1960. The year 60 in Iran/Persia (1260 AH) saw a great social upheaval and commotion in the material and spiritual worlds that resulted in the ultimate collapse of both the Persian and Ottoman Empires in which the Bab and Baha’u’llah appeared: The Twin Manifestations of God of the East. The Year 60 (1960s) saw great social upheavals, the change in social norms, the emergence of sacred sexuality (the sexual revolution), laws for social and economic justice, anti-war movements, and loud cries, music and songs for love, world peace, and justice for all–sounded throughout the United States and England and from there to all the English speaking world. The events in Persia contained, concentrated, and released upon the whole of the earth–collapsing the Ottoman Empire and unleashing two world wars; and canalizing in the birth of the communist/capitalist (bear/bull) divide between the various nations–spiritual forces as accurately described in Nabil’s Narrative, “The Dawn Breaker’s” documenting the source of the upheavals in the East–and the momentary glimpse behind the veil in the Western world (c. 1960-1970 really up to 1979) that are now poised to be fully unleashed upon the entire planet in the prophesied measured proportions from 2020 thru to 2039–upon an unsuspecting and half-conscious world of slumbering humanity.

As the commotion (behalah) of this Gathering Storm ensues, gaining momentum and unleashing its unstoppable fullest potency upon the world now in the Year 60 (2020: 1960 + 60yrs = 2020) auspiciously marked upon the calendar this New Years Day (Gregorian) by the GREAT EVENT spoken of in the Holy Koran, and by the Holy Seals unlocked by David’s Key (Rev. 3:7; Is. 22:22) that opens the DOOR, that is the True Gate of God Most High, the Year BAB that culminates on this coming Naw Ruz 2020 (177 BE) marking the 3475^th year anniversary of the Exodus of Moses.

The Kingdom of God is in Commotion! The Motion of the Ark upon the crimson sea has stirred the hearts, minds, and souls of all the peoples of the world.

We are now in the period of the Hopi Prophecy of Purification: 7 Years, 7 months, 7 weeks as of the opening of the 7th seal: “and I saw a tablet (βιβλίον) written on the front and on the back sealed with seven seals” (Rev. 5:1 ff).

We are happy to announce the publication of The Beast by Dr. Leland Jensen released upon the Bicentennial of the Bab; and also that ETM is now available also (see links below). We hope to have our Baha’i Library available online (@…) this year for both electronic and hard copy formats. We have been working on the hard copies first and foremost as these take much longer time to prepare. “Behold the vineyard is full! And the Harvest is Plenty! And the workers are few…”.

Also, the KUFM Prophecy Radio Tape has been uploaded to BUPC.org (see link above). In that it explains “the 23 year oil contract” (1997-2010) and thus the pattern of the current war with the moving of the US embassy to Jerusalem on the 70th year anniversary of the birth of the state of Israel to the day. Therefore the Twin Establishers of the Kingdom–who appear in the West–in the English speaking peoples of the United States and the UK are alive in the world today for Baha’u’llah 2020! In the words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha:

“How great, how very great is the Cause! How very fierce the onslaught of all the peoples and kindreds of the earth. Ere long shall the clamor of the multitude throughout Africa, throughout America, the cry of the European and of the Turk, the groaning of India and China, be heard from far and near. One and all, they shall arise with all their power to resist His Cause. Then shall the knights of the Lord, assisted by His 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!’” (‘Abdu’l-Baha, WOB)

The Bab was born on October 20 on the Christian (Solar) calendar in the year 1819.

This year, 2019, is the Bicentennial Year of the Birth of both The Bab and Baha’u’llah.

Tablet Of Visitation

Revealed by Baha’u’llah

To be read in commemoration of the anniversaries of the Bab and Baha’u’llah

The praise which hath dawned from Thy most august Self, and the glory which hath shone forth from Thy most effulgent Beauty, rest upon Thee, O Thou Who art the Manifestation of Grandeur, and the King of Eternity, and the Lord of all who are in heaven and on earth! I testify that through Thee the sovereignty of God and His dominion, and the majesty of God and His grandeur, were revealed, and the Daystars of ancient splendor have shed their radiance in the heaven of Thine irrevocable decree, and the Beauty of the Unseen hath shone forth above the horizon of creation. I testify, moreover, that with but a movement of Thy Pen Thine injunction “Be Thou” hath been enforced, and God’s hidden Secret hath been divulged, and all created things have been called into being, and all the Revelations have been sent down.

I bear witness, moreover, that through Thy beauty the beauty of the Adored One hath been unveiled, and through Thy face the face of the Desired One hath shone forth, and that through a word from Thee Thou hast decided between all created things, caused them who are devoted to Thee to ascend unto the summit of glory, and the infidels to fall into the lowest abyss.

I bear witness that he who hath known Thee hath known God, and he who hath attained unto Thy presence hath attained unto the presence of God. Great, therefore, is the blessedness of him who hath believed in Thee, and in Thy signs, and hath humbled himself before Thy sovereignty, and hath been honored with meeting Thee, and hath attained the good pleasure of Thy will, and circled around Thee, and stood before Thy throne. Woe betide him that hath transgressed against Thee, and hath denied Thee, and repudiated Thy signs, and gainsaid Thy sovereignty, and risen up against Thee, and waxed proud before Thy face, and hath disputed Thy testimonies, and fled from Thy rule and Thy dominion, and been numbered with the infidels whose names have been inscribed by the fingers of Thy behest upon Thy holy Tablets.

Waft, then, unto me, O my God and my Beloved, from the right hand of Thy mercy and Thy loving-kindness, the holy breaths of Thy favors, that they may draw me away from myself and from the world unto the courts of Thy nearness and Thy presence. Potent art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee. Thou, truly, hast been supreme over all things.

The remembrance of God and His praise, and the glory of God and His splendor, rest upon Thee, O Thou Who art His Beauty! I bear witness that the eye of creation hath never gazed upon one wronged like Thee. Thou wast immersed all the days of Thy life beneath an ocean of tribulations. At one time Thou wast in chains and fetters; at another Thou wast threatened by the sword of Thine enemies. Yet, despite all this, Thou didst enjoin upon all men to observe what had been prescribed unto Thee by Him Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.

May my spirit be a sacrifice to the wrongs Thou didst suffer, and my soul be a ransom for the adversities Thou didst sustain. I beseech God, by Thee and by them whose faces have been illumined with the splendors of the light of Thy countenance, and who, for love of Thee, have observed all whereunto they were bidden, to remove the veils that have come in between Thee and Thy creatures, and to supply me with the good of this world and the world to come. Thou art, in truth, the Almighty, the Most Exalted, the All-Glorious, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Compassionate.

Bless Thou, O Lord my God, the Divine Lote-Tree and its leaves, and its boughs, and its branches, and its stems, and its offshoots, as long as Thy most excellent titles will endure and Thy most august attributes will last. Protect it, then, from the mischief of the aggressor and the hosts of tyranny. Thou art, in truth, the Almighty, the Most Powerful. Bless Thou, also, O Lord my God, Thy servants and Thy handmaidens who have attained unto Thee. Thou, truly, art the All-Bountiful, Whose grace is infinite. No God is there save Thee, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Generous.

*****

ALL praise be to Thee, O my God, inasmuch as Thou hast adorned the world with the splendour of the dawn following the night wherein was born the One Who heralded the Manifestation of Thy transcendent sovereignty, the Dayspring of Thy divine Essence and the Revelation of Thy supreme Lordship. I beseech Thee, O Creator of the heavens and Fashioner of names, to graciously aid those who have sheltered beneath the shadow of Thine abounding mercy and have raised their voices amidst the peoples of the world for the glorification of Thy Name.

O my God! Thou beholdest the Lord of all mankind confined in His Most Great Prison, calling aloud Thy Name, gazing upon Thy face, proclaiming that which hath enraptured the denizens of Thy kingdoms of revelation and of creation. O my God! I behold Mine own Self captive in the hands of Thy servants, yet the light of Thy sovereignty and the revelations of Thine invincible power shine resplendent from His face, enabling all to know of a certainty that Thou art God, and that there is none other God but Thee. Neither can the power of the powerful frustrate Thee, nor the ascendancy of the rulers prevail against Thee. Thou doest whatsoever Thou willest by virtue of Thy sovereignty which encompasseth all created things, and ordainest that which Thou pleasest through the potency of Thy behest which pervadeth the entire creation.

I implore Thee by the glory of Thy Manifestation and by the power of Thy might, Thy sovereignty and Thine exaltation to render victorious those who have arisen to serve Thee, who have aided Thy Cause and humbled themselves before the splendour of the light of Thy face. Make them then, O my God, triumphant over Thine enemies and cause them to be steadfast in Thy service, that through them the evidences of Thy dominion may be established throughout Thy realms and the tokens of Thine indomitable power be manifested in Thy lands. Verily Thou art potent to do what Thou willest; no God is there but Thee, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.

This glorious Tablet hath been revealed on the Anniversary of the Birth [of the Báb] that thou mayest recite it in a spirit of humility and supplication and give thanks unto thy Lord, the All-Knowing, the All-Informed. Make thou every effort to render service unto God, that from thee may appear that which will immortalize thy memory in His glorious and exalted heaven.

Say: Glorified art Thou, O my God! I implore Thee by the Dawning-Place of Thy signs and by the Revealer of Thy clear tokens to grant that I may, under all conditions, hold fast the cord of Thy loving providence and cling tenaciously to the hem of Thy generosity. Reckon me then with those whom the changes and chances of the world have failed to deter from serving Thee and from bearing allegiance unto Thee, whom the onslaught of the people hath been powerless to hinder from magnifying Thy Name and celebrating Thy praise. Graciously assist me, O my Lord, to do whatever Thou lovest and desirest. Enable me then to fulfil that which will exalt Thy Name and will set ablaze the fire of Thy love.

Thou art, in truth, the Forgiving, the Bountiful.

Baha’u’llah, Tablets

The spirit of this illumined era lieth in the teachings of Bahá’u’lláh. For these lay the foundation of the oneness of the world of humanity and promulgate universal brotherhood. They are founded upon the unity of science and religion and upon investigation of truth. They uphold the principle that religion must be the cause of amity, union and harmony among men. They establish the equality of both sexes and propound economic principles which are for the happiness of individuals. They diffuse universal education, that every soul may as much as possible have a share of knowledge. They abrogate and nullify religious, racial, political, patriotic and economic prejudices and the like. Those teachings that are scattered throughout the Epistles and Tablets are the cause of the illumination and the life of the world of humanity. Whoever promulgateth them will verily be assisted by the Kingdom of God.

Whatsoever Is Possible Of Accomplishment In Human Government Will Be Effected Through These Principles

O THOU true friend! Read, in the school of God, the lessons of the spirit, and learn from love’s Teacher the innermost truths. Seek out the secrets of Heaven, and tell of the overflowing grace and favor of God.

Although to acquire the sciences and arts is the greatest glory of mankind, this is so only on condition that man’s river flow into the mighty sea, and draw from God’s ancient source His inspiration. When this cometh to pass, then every teacher is as a shoreless ocean, every pupil a prodigal fountain of knowledge. If, then, the pursuit of knowledge lead to the beauty of Him Who is the Object of all Knowledge, how excellent that goal; but if not, a mere drop will perhaps shut a man off from flooding grace, for with learning cometh arrogance and pride, and it bringeth on error and indifference to God.

The sciences of today are bridges to reality; if then they lead not to reality, naught remains but fruitless illusion. By the one true God! If learning be not a means of access to Him, the Most Manifest, it is nothing but evident loss.

It is incumbent upon thee to acquire the various branches of knowledge, and to turn thy face toward the beauty of the Manifest Beauty, that thou mayest be a sign of saving guidance amongst the peoples of the world, and a focal center of understanding in this sphere from which the wise and their wisdom are shut out, except for those who set foot in the Kingdom of lights and become informed of the veiled and hidden mystery, the well-guarded secret.

Abdu’l-Baha’-Selections From The Writings Of Abdu’l-Baha’ #72

Whatsoever Is Possible Of Accomplishment In Human Government Will Be Effected Through These Principles

“…the people are submerged in the sea of materialism. Their sensibilities are attuned to material forces, their perceptions purely physical. The animal energies predominate in their activities; all their thoughts are directed to material things; day and night they are devoted to the attractions of this world, without aspiration beyond the life that is vanishing and mortal. In schools and temples of learning knowledge of the sciences acquired is based upon material observations only; there is no realization of Divinity in their methods and conclusions—all have reference to the world of matter. They are not interested in attaining knowledge of the mysteries of God or understanding the secrets of the heavenly Kingdom; what they acquire is based altogether upon visible and tangible evidences. Beyond these evidences they are without susceptibilities; they have no idea of the world of inner significances and are utterly out of touch with God, considering this an indication of reasonable attitude and philosophical judgement whereof they are self-sufficient and proud.”
