“Submitting to the Peace Pact is a deed, an action to surrender one’s will, as did Jesus, to the will of God. It is not a mere idea we merely agree with or believe, no, upholding the Peace Pact, means a dedication to self sacrifice to uphold the banner of world peace to the point of devotion to such a Sacred thing as this, as those sacrificed their very own lives, 10,000 and 20,000 in non violent surrender that is the proof (hujuj) of the real inner spirit of true peace that rests upon the firm foundation of the rock of the most great justice.”

“Abdu’l-Baha states, as well as Baha’u’llah, that deeds, NOT words are needed here…”

“The first deed is the inner deep self surrender to the Peace Pact, meaning victory over the insistent self internally…next is the deep inner desire for martyrdom in this path both toward personal growth and to electing the Supreme Tribunal…”

“The election is that deed…”

“Now, by the power of the peace pact, each individual human being is upheld, protected, confirmed and supported.”

“The peace pact allows for the diversity to emerge because the agreement is always non violent solutions…”

“Non violent solutions are the real deeds that unite us all…”

“We will never eliminate group problems, because God wishes us to come together so He created group problems that call us together to cooperate to survive and overcome real group problems…”

“In order to do that, we have to first overcome personal and interpersonal problems…”

“But those arise in the purifiying furnace of group problems…”

“The Covenant is the Paris Peace Pact. The Paris Peace Pact is the Covenant. Baha’u’llah is the Author of the Paris Peace Pact, and Abdu’l-Baha is the Center of the Covenant of the Paris Peace Pact. His life is the perfect example of a human being upholding the Pact in every situation, including self defense and choice of freedom of worship and conduct. He is the legal authorized delineator of the Covenant.”

“What is the Baha’i Covenant? It is the Paris Peace Pact.

What is the Baha’i Faith?

It is the personal faith we have in our love of God and of His Peace Pact.

What is the Baha’i religion?

Surrendering our will to the will of the Paris Peace Pact that God Himself announced aforetime is His will in All Faiths and All Religions and therefore fulfills prophecy as His undeniable will for man.”

“Knowledge is a single point that the ignorant have multiplied.”

“God has purposed to set all human beings free, so that all may associate together in His image, and labor together in joy and cooperation as we overcome group challenges after group challenges and grow deeper and personally and inwardly in fulfilling our personal general mission Statement, eg, our real purpose for creation; to know and love God…”

“For the materialist, the lesser peace, that is sacred and holy, will always be the lesser peace.”

“The Most Great Peace is an ineffable personal transformative experience…”

“Elect the Supreme Tribunal! Uphold the 1928 Covenant of International Peace! (Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact)”

Collective Security Treaty Organization: 2002-2021

If only this was the story of the GTO from Treaty (1928) to the election and organizational meeting of the Supreme Tribunal (Sept. 21, 2022 to Nov. 4, 2022)…and it CAN be, for this century (1928 to 2028) is the century of the establishment of universal peace…and the war in the Ukraine is calling all our attentions to it! For peace on earth without justice is tyranny. And the General Treaty for the Renunciation of War is really a JUSTICE-PACT for true Universal Collective Security, and peace, real peace, that is the servant of justice, fact and truth!

Renounce war from our hearts! Cast out the stranger of war, so that the friend of universal fellowship can abide in our hearts, minds, and souls.
From Treaty (1928) to Supreme Tribunal (????) that’s what the headlines shall read, for those who survive the war, the famine, the plague, and the pollution, and these current extinction level events we all could have prevented and avoided had we worked together as a GTO?!?
Put on the brakes now, and elect the Supreme Tribunal while the US still qualifies by population to send 3 Representatives to the meeting…don’t let the 400 Satan II thermonuclear missiles (ready for this September and October) reduce our representation here in the US to 1! Both coasts and much of the Midwest will be wiped out in one hour, every American city population 100,000 or more targeted by Russian missiles, and 1/3rd of mankind prophesied to be killed in one hour of thermonuclear war.
It’s taken us a Century to get to where we’re at now! We outlawed slavery, included women in the right to vote, outlawed war, discovered and built the internet: invented instant global communications, and are poised elect the Supreme Tribunal ( that shall end war) with all people NOW. This foundational human rights work has taken us 100 years! Yet in one hour we can destroy it all and all ourselves all along with it! Ha! What takes a century to accomplish takes an hour to erase! Therefore be vigilant! Be vigilant! Be extremely vigilant when it comes to electing the Supreme Tribunal to uphold the Pact in every day and age!
It takes nine months to form a human baby, 21 years to grow to maturity, and ONE HOUR in Robb, TX to wipe out and erase 19, and 20 if you include the humanity of the disturbed shooter that was undoubtedly erased by others prior to the heinous slaughter and massacre of those innocents.
If we uphold the Pact nationally and internationally, and teach the Pact in schools, from preschool to gradschool, and uphold the Pact personally, in our attitude towards ourself and others, and in our business and social practices, this will generate a Universal core value we all already hold near and dear, the sacredness of simply being a human being–the Oneness of Humanity–and the sacredness of having the social freedom and opportunity and societal support to become REAL human beings!
See how God has made fools of us all! Fighting fools, who are too foolish to bridle our fights and channel our collective energies into healthy competition and sports and not escalate into actual killing wars. Gracious and generous winners and no sore losers are needed here…
Everyone wins in the Covenant of the Supreme Tribunal (The 1928 Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact)! Why? Because the Satan of war is what tricks fools into folly and really makes losers of us all!
“Woe unto the Covenant-breakers (violators of the 1928 Paris Peace Pact), they are those who are the losers” (Q. 2:27).
Uphold the 1928 Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact! Elect the Supreme Tribunal that shall bring peace through Justice to the world (1928-2028)!!!
*********
See! It’s Easy!! Anyone can do it…there’s safety in numbers, and all peoples on the same team: cooperate to survive (spentamaniyush) not struggle to survive (angramaniyush)…
Change the attitude, change the mindset, change the world, change starts within…
If CSTO and NATO can do it, so can the GTO!
Elect the Supreme Tribunal! Uphold the Covenant of the 1928 Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact! Let the GTO do its job! To bring peace through Justice to all the world…
*********
Let’s uphold the agreement we all made in 1928 not to murder one another in war and instead cooperate to thrive! Not just to merely survive…”beat (the use of force as the servant of justice) our swords to plowshares and our spears into pruning hooks” and turn on the heart lamps in all the deep recesses of our very own selves of the Oneness of Humanity to “learn war no more”…
Uphold the 1928 Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact! Let a global network of self-sustaining personal and community farms and gardens grow abundant food in every locale to feed the world! Abundance of food, and in conspicuous public areas reifies feelings of safety and security amongst the people, and this reduces fear and uncertainty that leads to wars over the real or imagined threat to needed resources such as immediate access to food, air, water, clothing and basic shelter. The public Abundance of food is a calming, reassuring peaceful effect on the people…
Let’s farm smarter and not harder…real famine from drought needs our cooperation to survive, artificial famine from man-made war, is today, now a wasteful, counterproductive nuisance, that only disrupts the interdependent economic ties that more than obviously now currently bind us all together…
We trade together, work together, and our collective fortunes are bound to one another…
When we first made the Pact in 1928, and after the Pact was challenged and defended by both Russia and US, to liberate France and to protect England from the third Reich, the US–the ultimate defender of the Pact by 1951 reached never before prosperty for its people and its nation, quality of life, and subjective well being. Even Russia prospered at that time when the Pact was upheld and defended by the US and Russia TOGETHER: the Blessing of Prosperity reigned.
Then the Covenant was broken, and the Pact was violated in 1957, and we’ve entered a 70 years period of violation from 1957 to 2027 and then the 100 year anniversary of the Pact of 1928 that has forever changed our world.
This Universal Collective Security Agreement of the 1928 Paris Peace Pact is the only existing thing in all the world that can possibly stop the wars, reverse the trend towards death and nukes, and allow us to get down to the better business of growing healthy food and making stuff (goods and services) we can share with one another through the science of sociability based upon the cooperation to survive all together now! This is because it’s ALREADY the ONLY thing we’ve already all agreed upon (to renounce war, nationally and personally) so it’s already the ONLY instrument of cooperation and agreement that’s firmly in place and already agreed upon by everyone…how to activate fully and make it work, that’s job 1 of this Century and immediately right now it is needed yesterday today and tomorrow for the specific and special focused task to end all war…
It’s legal name is the “General Treaty for the Renunciation of War “.
The North Atlantic Treaty and the Collective Security Treaty (US and Russian backed groups) both derive their Authority from the General Treaty of 1928, are subordinate to it, and are dependent upon it. The way it works is this: the signatories of the Treaty form an Organization in the NAME of the Treaty with a governing body whose purpose is uphold the agreement and Covenant of the Treaty.
Thus the North Atlantic Treaty signatories formed, affiliated and assembled together as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization: NATO and their principal decision making body is the North Atlantic Council. The Collective Security Treaty signatories associate as the Collective Security Treaty Organization: the CSTO and their governing body is the Collective Security Council.
This isn’t working!!! The CSTO and the NATO are at war in the Ukraine and the General Treaty (1928) is in violation! And the curse of war, economic collapse, starvation, pestilence, disease and famine are all upon us now, as promised in all the holy books and sacred scriptures of all the traditions of the world have warned. Obviously the punishment for violating the General Treaty is war itself, and the resulting horsemen of destruction that ride forward in its wake!
Therefore, we need a General Treaty Organization a GTO to uphold the 1928 Paris Peace Pact and the principle decision making body is the Supreme Tribunal, which shall be democratically elected and shall bring peace to the world.
The Supreme Tribunal of the GTO is founded upon the principle of federalism in its Collective Security Agreement. Therefore it’s the ONLY Universal Collective Security Agreement that is actually Universal; as both NATO and CSTO are already bound under the authority of the General Treaty. And as both NATO and CSTO are already bound by the 1928 Genetal Treaty, they can only resolve a dispute and difference with one another at the assembly of the GTO.
Call to Order the meeting of the GTO! Elect the Supreme Tribunal so that the GTO can do its job and democratically elect the Supreme Tribunal with the special task to end war, and bring peace through Justice to the world!
We CAN keep our PROMISES on a personal level!! Let’s keep our most SACRED of promises, on a national level! Only the Promulgation of the knowledge of the Paris Peace Pact has the utility to end all wars internationally, and as a global universal value representing the Oneness of the world of humanity, can educate all people to non-violence, and for everyone and all, at every level, to “learn war no more” and the killings even in such remote places as Robb, TX shall cease…
Uphold the Kellogg-Briand Paris Peace Pact! Call to Order a meeting of the GTO to Elect the Supreme Tribunal that shall bring peace to the world!

Baha’i Anniversary: The Birth of The Establisher, 8/22/2014-8/22/2022

Jesus The High Priest After The Order Of Melchizedec-“Blessed Is He”-Upon His Return-Reading The Prayer For The Cementing Of The Hearts Of All Humanity Revealed By The Messiah Baha’u’llah Through His Son Abdu’l-Baha’

 

Dr. Leland Jensen was the supreme defender of the Covenant in both it’s Greater and lesser aspects. He was promised in the religious scriptures and oral teachings of all people everywhere on the planet and prophesied by the prophets of all cultures for the entirety of the six thousand year Adamic Cycle. But for his purity of heart and firmness in the Covenant and by his mandate from God to protect, defend and teach the Covenant to the world and establish it firmly in this land (the prophesied New JerUSAlem in the U.S.A.) we who’ve gathered under the Banner of the Most Great Name would still be wandering in the spiritual wilderness not knowing where to find the truth we have sought. Thank God for sending His Son to the world a second time to re-gather the elect unto the presence of Baha’u’llah under the Provisions of His everlasting Covenant!

Some of the many writings of the Establisher of the Baha’i Faith

THE MOST MIGHTY DOCUMENT

by Dr. Leland Jensen

An official Rendition by the Promised 7th Angel, who fulfills Biblical Prophecies, explained by ‘Abdu’l-Baha as recorded in Some Answered Questions, also prophesied to come under different titles, such as “Blessed is He” who comes in 1963, explained by ‘Abdu’l-Baha as recorded in Baha’u’llah and the New Era, the knight on the white horse, the Lamb, The Land, the return of Jesus the High Priest and by various names and titles as found in all Revelations of the Divine Manifestations.

The Most Mighty Document

THE BEAST

by Dr. Leland Jensen

PROPHECY IS FULFILLED BUT EXPECTATIONS ARE NOT! Jesus has just returned! He has come a second time, and already a number of the dead in Christ have resurrected out of their graves and have met him in the air, the air is down here on earth, the higher up you go the less air there is. This is just like it says in the Bible. He has “descended from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God” (I Thess. 4:16). Those that have been left alive are about to join them and meet him in the air (I Thess. 4:17). Their number will increase until they comprise the 144,000 of Revelation, chapters 7 and 14, of whom will be the elect of Matt 24:22. Then the bombs will drop! The multitude will not resurrect until the bombs drop on their churches (tombs) destroying them. “These are they who” will “have come out of great tribulation”–the four winds of destruction–(Rev. 7:14). Within a short time the four great waves of destruction, that will come one succeeding the other, will be over. Before this happens “every eye will see him” (Rev. 1:7), and every head will bow before the Throne, the Guardianship of the living Davidic King (Rev. 7:9-12). This will comprise those that are left, that had not been taken by the great catastrophe. He is now here upon the earth alive breathing air, not up in the sky where there is not any air. MOST OF THE CHRISTIANS WILL MISS THE RAPTURE before the bombs drop on their cities because they are so dead in the theologies (clouds of heaven) of their church that they will not be able to see him on his return until they have become purified by the fire of the oncoming thermonuclear holocaust, or one of the other succeeding waves to the great tribulation. As a cloud in the sky veils the light of the sun, so a cloud of heaven veils the light of Jesus on his return. Because of these theologies the Christians–the dead in Christ–believe that Jesus resurrected up into the sky, and that when he returns the rapture will take place in the sky, yet no place in the scriptures does it say this…. So it is today. The Christians have their eyes glued to the sky. They don’t know the difference between the sky and heaven because they have not partaken of the Life-Giving Spirit. Because the scriptures state that Jesus ascended up into heaven they imagine that he ascended up into the sky, and when he returns will come streaking across the sky and the believers will ascend up into the sky to meet him. Therefore, they do not want, and are in opposition to, the Promised Ones, that descended out of heaven, sent to them by God, that were Promised in the Holy Scriptures. They are asleep in their graves (their apostate churches)–spiritually dead–and the masses won’t resurrect until the thermonuclear bombs drop on their tombs (their churches) and opens them so they can come out. And then it may be too late for most of them. BUPC.ORG/UHJ.NET

The Beast: Is About to Be Dead

*******

THE CHILD OF THE EAST

by Dr. Leland Jensen

Nothing has captured the imagination and conjecture of the people more than that of the Apocalypse, as this is found in all the holy books of the world. The Christians are awaiting the advent of the Antichrist and the Beast which is to precede the return of Jesus Christ and Armageddon. Here, for the first time, Dr. Leland Jensen brings to life the amazing visions of Jeane Dixon, adding an entire New Dimension to this subject and revealing the fulfillment Jeane’s most outstanding vision: “THE CHILD OF THE EAST.” In A Gift of Prophecy it states: “Visions which come to Mrs. Dixon are unchangeable, because they represent the will of God. The coming event cannot, consequently, be prevented” (p. 155). Therefore, the reading public is waiting for the fulfillment of these visions. In this book, for the first time, “THE CHILD OF THE EAST” has been definitely identified. Jeane states that: “The world as we know it will be reshaped and revamped into one without wars or suffering… he will bring together all mankind in one all-embracing faith. This will be the foundation of a new Christianity, with every sect and creed united through this man who will walk among the people to spread the wisdom of the Almighty Power” (A Gift of Prophecy, pp. 171, 172). This book represents not only his amazing credentials, but gives his interpretations of some of Jeane’s other visions such as the Snake and her two visions that she had in St. Matthew’s Cathedral. Also by using Jeane Dixon’s Criteria, he definitely identifies the Antichrist and slays him with the sword of his mouth. He also exposes the Beast and Dragon prophesied to come in the Book of Revelation. This is all backed up by the most realistic and accurate proofs. The Bible and the Great Pyramid come alive and become clear as crystal. This will excite the reader to new horizons, especially what “THE CHILD OF THE EAST.” has to say of what is to take place next! He will become the most talked about person in the world and what he has to say will be of the most discussed subjects. It will be a common conversational piece. Everyone will get in on the act; no one will be able to remain neutral. Everyone will take sides, either for or against. As the events that “THE CHILD OF THE EAST” has predicted take place just exactly as he stated, ultimately everyone in the world will become a believer; there will be mass conversion. “Attempting to describe her own sensation, Jeane says: “I felt suspended and enfolded, as if I were surrounded by whipped cream. For the first time I understood the full meaning of the Biblical phrase, ‘My cup runneth over.’ I loved all mankind. I felt that I would never again need food or sleep, because I had experienced perfect peace” (A Gift of Prophecy, p. 172). It will be just like Jeane said. Read this book and find out for yourself.

Child of the East: Jeane Dixon was right

Tell the priests to ring the bells no longer. By God, the True One! The Most Mighty Bell hath appeared in the form of Him Who is the Most Great Name, and the fingers of the Will of Thy Lord, the Most Exalted, the Most High, toll it out in the heaven of Immortality in His name, the All-Glorious. Thus have the mighty verses of Thy Lord been again sent down unto thee, that thou mayest arise to remember God, the Creator of earth and heaven, in these days when all the tribes of the earth have mourned, and the foundations of the cities have trembled, and the dust of irreligion hath enwrapped all men, except such as God, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise, was pleased to spare. Say: He Who is the Unconstrained is come, in the clouds of light, that He may quicken the world with the breezes of His name, the Most Merciful, and unify its peoples, and gather all men around this Table which hath been sent down from heaven. Beware that ye deny not the favour of God after it hath been sent down unto you. Better is this for you than that which ye possess; for that which is yours perisheth, whilst that which is with God endureth. He, in truth, ordaineth what He pleaseth. Verily, the breezes of forgiveness have been wafted from the direction of your Lord, the God of Mercy; whoso turneth thereunto shall be cleansed of his sins, and of all pain and sickness. Happy the man that hath turned towards them, and woe betide him that hath turned aside.

*********

The breezes of the Most Merciful have passed over all created things; happy the man that hath discovered their fragrance, and set himself towards them with a sound heart. Attire thy temple with the ornament of My Name, and thy tongue with remembrance of Me, and thine heart with love for Me, the Almighty, the Most High. We have desired for thee naught except that which is better for thee than what thou dost possess and all the treasures of the earth. Thy Lord, verily, is knowing, informed of all. Arise, in My Name, amongst My servants, and say: “O ye peoples of the earth! Turn yourselves towards Him Who hath turned towards you. He, verily, is the Face of God amongst you, and His Testimony and His Guide unto you. He hath come to you with signs which none can produce.” The voice of the Burning Bush is raised in the midmost heart of the world, and the Holy Spirit calleth aloud among the nations: “Lo, the Desired One is come with manifest dominion!”

Baha’u’llah, Exc. Fr. Letter to Napoleon III

*********

O my friend, verily the Cause is great and great, and the penetration of the Word of God in the temple (body) of all the regions is similar to the pervasion of the soul in a sound body.

By the life of Baha’, verily, the power of the Kingdom of God hath taken hold of the pillars of the world, and hath possessed all the nations. Thou wilt surely find the standards of the Testament waving in all regions, the chanting of the verses of unity raised in exalted assemblies, and the lights of the Sun of Truth and its heat dispersing the thick clouds massed on the horizon. Be rejoiced at this glad-tidings, whereby the hearts of the sincere among the beloved are cheered.

O my friend, isolate all thy faculties and senses from every other mention and thought, and follow the example of Abdul-Baha in servitude to the Holy and Exalted Threshold. Hasten to the field of sacrifice, craving for the most great martyrdom; expend thy life and all of thy grades in love for God and in attraction to the Beauty of El-ABHA.

By God, the True One, man should seek only this bounty, inasmuch as it is everlasting, eternal, divine, spiritual, luminous and merciful. Be sanctified from all the universe…address the veiled ones (those blind to the Truth), saying: “Verily, eyes are dazzled by gazing at the sun, and it is impossible to consider it because of the intensity of its rays; and verily the sea cannot be contained in a cup. The weakness of eyes does no harm to the sun, nor the smallness of the cup to the sea.”

Then…explain to the people, and make known to every questioner, by saying: “Verily, minds are limited, and the splendor of lights is so great as not to be comprehended by (man’s) reflective faculties. Ye ought to have the sigh of the heart so that ye may apprehend the reality of the mysteries of God which are deposited behind coverings.”

Abdu’l-Baha’, Tablets, vol 1, pp 164-165

*********

Furthermore, among the “veils of glory” are such terms as the “Seal of the Prophets” and the like, the removal of which is a supreme achievement in the sight of these base-born and erring souls. All, by reason of these mysterious sayings, these grievous “veils of glory,” have been hindered from beholding the light of truth. Have they not heard the melody of that bird of Heaven, uttering this mystery: “A thousand Fátimihs I have espoused, all of whom were the daughters of Muḥammad, Son of ‘Abdu’lláh, the ‘Seal of the Prophets?’” Behold, how many are the mysteries that lie as yet unravelled within the tabernacle of the knowledge of God, and how numerous the gems of His wisdom that are still concealed in His inviolable treasuries! Shouldest thou ponder this in thine heart, thou wouldst realize that His handiwork knoweth neither beginning nor end. The domain of His decree is too vast for the tongue of mortals to describe, or for the bird of the human mind to traverse; and the dispensations of His providence are too mysterious for the mind of man to comprehend. His creation no end hath overtaken, and it hath ever existed from the “Beginning that hath no beginning”; and the Manifestations of His Beauty no beginning hath beheld, and they will continue to the “End that knoweth no end.” Ponder this utterance in thine heart, and reflect how it is applicable unto all these holy Souls.

Likewise, strive thou to comprehend the meaning of the melody of that eternal beauty, Ḥusayn, son of ‘Alí, who, addressing Salmán, spoke words such as these: “I was with a thousand Adams, the interval between each and the next Adam was fifty thousand years, and to each one of these I declared the Successorship conferred upon my father.” He then recounteth certain details, until he saith: “I have fought one thousand battles in the path of God, the least and most insignificant of which was like the battle of Khaybar, in which battle my father fought and contended against the infidels.” Endeavour now to apprehend from these two traditions the mysteries of “end,” “return,” and “creation without beginning or end.”

O SINCERE servant of the True One! I hear thou art grieved and distressed at the happenings of the world and the vicissitudes of fortune. Wherefore this fear and sorrow? The true lovers of the Abhá Beauty, and they that have quaffed the Cup of the Covenant fear no calamity, nor feel depressed in the hour of trial. They regard the fire of adversity as their garden of delight, and the depth of the sea the expanse of heaven.

Thou who art neath the shelter of God, and under the shadow of the Tree of His Covenant, why sorrow and repine? Rest thou assured and feel confident. Observe the written commandments of thy Lord with joy and peace, with earnestness and sincerity; and be thou the well-wisher of thy country and thy government. His grace shall assist thee at all times, His blessings shall be bestowed upon thee, and thy heart’s desire shall be realized.

By the Ancient Beauty!—may my life be a sacrifice for His loved ones—Were the friends to realize what a glorious sovereignty the Lord hath destined for them in His Kingdom, surely they would be filled with ecstasy, would behold themselves crowned with immortal glory and carried away with transports of delight. Erelong it shall be made manifest how brilliantly the light of His bountiful care and mercy hath shone upon His loved ones, and what a turbulent ocean hath been stirred in their hearts! Then will they clamor and exclaim: Happy are we; let all the world rejoice!

Jesus The High Priest After The Order Of Melchizedec-“Blessed Is He”-Upon His Return-Reading The Prayer For The Cementing Of The Hearts Of All Humanity Revealed By The Messiah Baha’u’llah Through His Son Abdu’l-Baha’

*******

Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

Daniel 12:12

In the last two verses of the Book of Daniel occur the cryptic words—”Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of Days [we are in the end of days now].”

Many have been the attempts of learned students to solve the problem of the significance of these words. In a tabletalk at which the writer [Esslemont] was present, ‘Abdu’l-Baha reckoned the fulfillment of Daniel’s prophecy from the date of the beginning of the Muhammadan era [the victory of Muhammad over Mecca in 628 AD—628 + 1335 = 1963].

‘Abdu’l-Baha’s Tablets make it clear that this prophecy refers to the one hundredth anniversary of the Declaration of Baha’u’llah in Baghdad, or the year [April 21st] 1963:—

Now concerning the verse in Daniel, the interpretation whereof thou didst ask, namely, “Blessed is he who cometh unto the thousand, three hundred and thirty-five days.” These days must be reckoned as solar and not lunar years. For according to this calculation a century will have elapsed from the dawn of the Sun of Truth, then will the teachings of God be firmly established [by Blessed is he] upon the earth, and the Divine Light shall flood the world from the East even unto the West. Then, on this day, will the faithful rejoice! (J.E. Esslemont author of Baha’u’llah and the New Era on pages 249-250 of the 1970 Edition.)

On April 21st, 1963 the return of Jesus began his ministry by being opposed by Satan (Rex King) who was designated Satan by the Davidic King who was ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s son.

Entry By Troops part 1, ch. 4

And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.

Zechariah 3:6-7

Blessed he who hath attired his head with the diadem of My love. Blessed is he who hath heard of My grief and hath arisen to aid Me among My people. Blessed is he who hath laid down his life in My path and hath borne manifold hardships for the sake of My Name. Blessed the man who, assured of My Word, hath arisen from among the dead to celebrate My praise. Blessed is he that hath been enraptured by My wondrous melodies and hath rent the veils asunder through the potency of My might. Blessed is he who hath remained faithful to My Covenant, and whom the things of the world have not kept back from attaining My Court of holiness. Blessed is the manwho hath detached himself from all else but Me, hath soared in the atmosphere of My love, hath gained admittance into My Kingdom, gazed upon My realms of glory, quaffed the living waters of My bounty, hath drunk his fill from the heavenly river of My loving providence, acquainted himself with My Cause, apprehended that which I concealed within the treasury of My Words, and hath shone forth from the horizon of divine knowledge engaged in My praise and glorification. Verily, he is of Me. Upon him rest My mercy, My loving-kindness, My bounty and My glory.

“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of His Christ; and He shall reign for ever and ever.”

Rev. 11:15 KJV

The seventh angel is a man qualified with heavenly attributes, who will arise with heavenly qualities and character. Voices will be raised, so that the appearance of the Divine Manifestation will be proclaimed and diffused. In the day of the manifestation of the Lord of Hosts, and at the epoch of the divine cycle of the Omnipotent which is promised and mentioned in all the books and writings of the Prophets—in that day of God, the Spiritual and Divine Kingdom will be established, and the world will be renewed; a new spirit will be breathed into the body of creation; the season of the divine spring will come; the clouds of mercy will rain; the sun of reality will shine; the life-giving breeze will blow; the world of humanity will wear a new garment; the surface of the earth will be a sublime paradise; mankind will be educated; wars, disputes, quarrels and malignity will disappear; and truthfulness, righteousness, peace and the worship of God will appear; union, love and brotherhood will surround the world; and God will rule for evermore—meaning that the Spiritual and Everlasting Kingdom will be established. Such is the day of God. For all the days which have come and gone were the days of Abraham, Moses and Christ, or of the other Prophets; but this day is the day of God, for the Sun of Reality will arise in it with the utmost warmth and splendor.

O PEOPLE! I swear by the one true God! This is the Ocean out of which all seas have proceeded, and with which every one of them will ultimately be united. From Him all the Suns have been generated, and unto Him they will all return. Through His potency the Trees of Divine Revelation have yielded their fruits, every one of which hath been sent down in the form of a Prophet, bearing a Message to God’s creatures in each of the worlds whose number God, alone, in His all-encompassing Knowledge, can reckon. This He hath accomplished through the agency of but one Letter of His Word, revealed by His Pen—a Pen moved by His directing Finger—His Finger itself sustained by the power of God’s Truth.

Baha’u’llah, Gleanings #LI

 

With fixed and steady gaze, born of the unerring eye of God, scan for a while the horizon of divine knowledge, and contemplate those words of perfection which the Eternal hath revealed, that haply the mysteries of divine wisdom, hidden ere now beneath the veil of glory and treasured within the tabernacle of His grace, may be made manifest unto you. The denials and protestations of these leaders of religion have, in the main, been due to their lack of knowledge and understanding. Those words uttered by the Revealers of the beauty of the one true God, setting forth the signs that should herald the advent of the Manifestation to come, they never understood nor fathomed. Hence they raised the standard of revolt, and stirred up mischief and sedition. It is obvious and manifest that the true meaning of the utterances of the Birds of Eternity is revealed to none except those that manifest the Eternal Being, and the melodies of the Nightingale of Holiness can reach no ear save that of the denizens of the everlasting realm. The Copt of tyranny can never partake of the cup touched by the lips of the Sept of justice, and the Pharaoh of unbelief can never hope to recognize the hand of the Moses of truth. Even as He saith: “None knoweth the meaning thereof except God and them that are well-grounded in knowledge.” (Qur’án 3:7) And yet, they have sought the interpretation of the Book from those that are wrapt in veils, and have refused to seek enlightenment from the fountainhead of knowledge.

Baha’u’llah, Kitab-i-Iqan, paragraph 15

 

To the servant of God, ….…..:

What thou hast written is understood. In reply I will elucidate briefly, the purport of which you, with your intelligence, will surely comprehend:

The world of humanity is encompassed by the darkness of conventionalities, disagreements, discords, avoidance, animosity, enmity, ignorance, folly, lustful desires and animal tendencies; the gloomy night had darkened the horizon of the world in such manner that all had forgotten the light and deemed the darkness inevitable in the world of humanity, and its solution impossible; when, unexpectedly, the Light of Reality appeared and enlightened the horizon of the world, diffusing its rays throughout the East and West, the beholding of which instantly delighted the perfect and perceiving eyes; but the imperfect eyes, afflicted by the darkness, were dazzled by the radiance, while the negligent closed theirs and turned away entirely. That light is the Love of God, the Spirit of God, unity, concord, science and knowledge, bounty and perfection, redemption of life, spiritual perception, universal peace, alliance of the nations, unification of all peoples and the reality of the attributes of the Merciful One, which I hope thou wilt fully attain.

Abdu’l-Baha’, Tablets of, pp 653-654

 

When the souls of the sincere depart (from this body), then their unreal vision (i.e., seeing) is changed into a vision of reality. Even as man, when in the age of babyhood and imperfection, though he seeth things, yet that vision is superficial and external. But when he reacheth the world (or age) of perfection and becometh endowed with reasoning faculty and (the power of) discrimination and comprehension, then that vision of his is a vision (i.e., seeing) of reality and not the unreality.

It is evident that the divine nearness is an unlimited nearness, be it in this world or the next one. This is a nearness which is sanctified from the comprehension of the minds. The more a man seeketh light from the Sun of Truth, the nearer he will draw. For instance, a clear body is near unto the sun, and a black stone is far from the sun. This nearness dependeth upon clearness, purity and perfection and that remoteness is due to density, dullness (or obscurity) and imperfection.

Twin Holy Days: The Birth of The Bab & The Birth of Baha’u’llah: Kalimat/Words 18 & 19, 179 B.E. ( Sunset 7/29/2022 through Sunset 7/31/2022)

Friday, July 29th, 2022

For Baha’is, the the first two days of Muharram on the Islamic Calendar, are Holy as they are the Days of the Birth of the Bab and Baha’u’llah as they happened according to the Lunar Calendar of the Islamic Faith.

The Bab’s birthday was on the first day of the month of Muharram and Baha’u’llah’s birthday on the second day of the same month although they were born two years apart, the Bab in 1819 and Baha’u’llah in 1817.

Baha’is are also free to comemmorate these Holy Days on their dates as marked on the Solar Calendar which fall on October 20 for The Bab and November 12 for Baha’u’llah.

THE BAB

 

The Báb was a young merchant of the Pure Lineage. He was born in the year one thousand two hundred and thirty-five [A.H.] on the first day of Muharram, 1 and when after a few years His father Siyyid Muḥammad-Riḍá died, He was brought up in Shíráz in the arms of His maternal uncle Mírzá Siyyid ‘Alí the merchant. On attaining maturity He engaged in trade in Búshihr, first in partnership with His maternal uncle and afterwards independently. On account of what was observed in Him He was noted for godliness, devoutness, virtue, and piety, and was regarded in the sight of men as so characterized.

Abdu’l-Baha’, A Traveler’s Narrative, pg. 4

But as to Him Who appeared in the year sixty, He standeth in need of neither transformation nor interpretation, for His name was Muḥammad, and He was a descendent of the Imáms of the Faith. Thus it can be truly said of Him that He was the son of Ḥasan, as is undoubtedly clear and evident unto thine eminence. Nay, He it is Who fashioned that name and created it for Himself, were ye to observe with the eye of God.

Baha’u’llah, Gems of Divine Mysteries (excerpts)

 

The Báb, the Lord, the most exalted — may the life of all be a sacrifice unto Him, — hath specifically revealed an Epistle unto the divines of every city, wherein He hath fully set forth the character of the denial and repudiation of each of them.  “Wherefore, take ye good heed ye who are men of insight!  By His references to their opposition He intended to invalidate the objections which the people of the Bayán might raise in the day of the manifestation ofMustagháth, the day of the Latter Resurrection, claiming that, whereas in the Dispensation of the Bayán a number of divines have embraced the Faith, in this latter Revelation none of these hath recognized His claim.  His purpose was to warn the people lest, God forbid, they cling to such foolish thoughts and deprive themselves of the divine Beauty.  Yea, these divines to whom We have referred, were mostly unrenowned, and, by the grace of God they were all purged of earthly vanities and free from the trappings of leadership. Such is the bounty of God; to whom He will He giveth it.

BAHA’U’LLAH

 

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

Isaiah 9:6-7

 

And BAHA’U’LLAH shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see Him together: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.

Isaiah 40:5

 

Arise, shine; for thy BAHA is come, and BAHA’U’LLAH is risen upon thee.

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the Lord shall arise upon thee, and his BAHA shall be seen upon thee.

And the Gentiles shall come to thy BAHA, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

Isaiah 60:1-3

 

Praise be to Him through Whose splendours [Ishraqat] the earth and the heavens are aglow, through Whose fragrant breathings the gardens of holiness that adorn the hearts of the chosen are trembling for joy, to Him Who hath shed His light [BAHA] and brightened the face of the firmament. Verily there appeared luminous and sparkling stars, glittering, shining out, and casting forth their rays upon the supreme horizon. They derived their grace and brilliance from the bounties of the ABHA Realm, then, stars of guidance, they poured down their lights upon this earth.

Praise be to Him Who hath fashioned this new era, this age of majesty, even as an unfolding pageant where the realities of all things can be exposed to view. Now are clouds of bounty raining down and the gifts of the loving Lord are clearly manifest; for both the seen and the unseen worlds have been illumined, and the Promised One hath come to earth and the beauty of the Adored One hath shone forth.

Salutations, blessings, and welcome to that Universal Reality, that Perfect Word, that Manifest Book, that Splendor [BAHA] which hath dawned in the highest heaven, that Guide of all nations, that Light [BAHA] of the world–the billowing ocean of Whose abounding grace hath flooded all creation, in such wise that the waves thereof have cast upon the sands of this visible world their shining pearls. Now hath the Truth appeared, and falsehood fled away; now hath the day dawned and jubilation taken over, wherefore men’s souls are sanctified, their spirits purged, their hearts rejoiced, their minds purified, their secret thoughts made wholesome, their consciences washed clean, their inmost selves made holy: for the Day of Resurrection hath come to pass, and the bestowals of thy Lord, the Forgiving, have encompassed all things. Salutations and praise be unto those luminous, resplendent stars that are shedding down their rays from the highest heaven, those celestial bodies of the girdling zodiac of the ABHA Realm. May Glory [BAHA] rest upon them.

ALL ARE RAYS OF THE SAME SUN

 

‘Abdu’l-Baha stated the relationships of the believers [in the Covenant of Justice to uphold the Peace Pact] to the Cause of God [the permanent renunciation of war in the settlement of disuptes] are of two kinds: One kind is like the relationship of the flower to the garden. The other relationship is that of the ray of the sun to the sun. “I hope”, the Master says, “that your relationship will be of the second kind”.

 

[Juliet Thompson said:] May we all be in just such a gathering with you in New York!

 

[‘Abdu’l-Bahá said:] I have made a pact with the American friends. If they keep the pact I will come.

 

[Juliet Thompson said:] The believers are much better friends than they were.

 

[‘Abdu’l-Bahá said:] I shall have to know that! Bahá’u’lláh, the Master continued, was bound with chains no longer than the distance from here to that post. With the sudden terrific agitation he rose and pointed to a column close to the table. He could scarcely move. Then he was exiled to Baghdad, to Adrianople, to Constantinople, to Akká four times! He bore all these hardships that unity [to elect the Supreme Tribunal for all peoples and nations] might be established among you. But if, among themselves, the believers [in the Covenant] cannot unite, how can they hope to unite the world? . . .

 

[‘Abdu’l-Bahá said:] if I come to America, Juliet, will you invite me to see such waterfalls!

 

[Juliet Thompson said:] I will invite you to Niagara if you will come to America! But surely, my Lord, your coming doesn’t depend on my invitation.

 

[‘Abdu’l-Bahá said:] My invitation to America will be the unity of the believers.

 

[Juliet Thompson said:] Louise Stapfer asked me to give you her love and beg you to come and unite us. Otherwise, she said, we will never be United.

 

[‘Abdu’l-Bahá said:] No, you must do that yourselves. See in what perfect harmony we are now! You are not complaining of one another. But if I should go to America, they would all be complaining of one another and I would fly away!

 

Earl Redman, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in Their Midst, p. 20, 22

 

In 1875 he wrote:

True civilization will unfurl its banner in the midmost heart of the world whenever a certain number [12] of its distinguished and high-minded sovereigns—the shining exemplars of devotion and determination—shall, for the good and happiness of all mankind, arise, with firm resolve and clear vision, to establish the Cause of Universal Peace [uphold the 1928 Justice-Peace Pact] They [the 12 elected, confirmed and ratified representatives of England, France, the United States and Russia: three from each of the four charter nations, at least one woman elected amongst the three from each culture, forming 12 who are knowledge experts in law, human rights, jurisprudence and international relations] must make the Cause of Peace the object of general consultation, and seek by every means in their power to establish a Union of the nations of the world. They must conclude a binding treaty [1928 General Treaty for the Renunciation of War] and establish a covenant [the Special Treaty to Elect the SupremeTribunal] the provisions of which shall be sound, inviolable and definite. They must proclaim it to all the world and obtain for it the sanction of all the human race [already obtained by General Treaty of 1928]. This supreme and noble undertaking—the real source of the peace and well-being of all the world—should be regarded AS SACRED by all that dwell on earth. All the forces of humanity must be mobilized to ensure the stability and permanence of this Most Great Covenant. In this all-embracing PACT [1928 Paris Peace Pact: The General Treaty for the Renunciation of War and the Special Treaty to elect the Court with full powers] the limits and frontiers of each and every nation should be clearly fixed, the principles underlying the relations of governments towards one another definitely laid down, and all international agreements and obligations ascertained. In like manner, the size of the armaments of every government should be strictly limited, for if the preparations for war and the military forces of any nation should be allowed to increase, they will arouse the suspicion [fears and paranoia] of others [like N. Korea, Iran, Israel, Palestine. etc.]The fundamental principle underlying this solemn Pact [1928 Paris Peace Pact] should be so fixed that if any government later violate any one of its provisions, all the governments on earth should arise [in self-defense of upholding the Universal Collective Security Agreement] to reduce it to utter submission, nay the human race as a whole should resolve, with every power at its disposal, to destroy that government. Should this greatest of all remedies be applied to the sick body of the world, it will assuredly recover from its ills and will remain eternally safe and secure.—The Secret of Divine Civilization, pp. 64–65.

 

Elect the Supreme Tribunal that shall bring peace through justice to all the peoples of the earth.
Uphold the 1928 International Covenant of Collective Peace and Security!
It’s the civic act that unites us all! Uphold the Oneness of Humanity for the freedom, and security of your own self and for us all…

The Great Being saith: The heaven of statesmanship is made luminous and resplendent by the brightness of the light of these blessed words which hath dawned from the dayspring of the Will of God: It behoveth every ruler to weigh his own being every day in the balance of equity and justice and then to judge between men and counsel them to do that which would direct their steps unto the path of wisdom and understanding. This is the cornerstone of statesmanship and the essence thereof. From these words every enlightened man of wisdom will readily perceive that which will foster such aims as the welfare, security and protection of mankind and the safety of human lives. Were men of insight to quaff their fill from the ocean of inner meanings which lie enshrined in these words and become acquainted therewith, they would bear witness to the sublimity and the excellence of this utterance. If this lowly one were to set forth that which he perceiveth, all would testify unto God’s consummate wisdom. The secrets of statesmanship and that of which the people are in need lie enfolded within these words. This lowly servant earnestly entreateth the One true God—exalted be His glory—to illumine the eyes of the people of the world with the splendour of the light of wisdom that they, one and all, may recognize that which is indispensable in this day.

The faults of kings, like their favours, can be great. A king who is not deterred by the vainglory of power and authority from observing justice, nor is deprived of the splendours of the day-star of equity by luxury, riches, glory or the marshalling of hosts and legions shall occupy a high rank and a sublime station amongst the Concourse on high. It is incumbent upon everyone to extend aid and to manifest kindness to so noble a soul. Well is it with the king who keepeth a tight hold on the reins of his passion, restraineth his anger and preferreth justice and fairness to injustice and tyranny.

“Such is the true meaning of rendering assistance unto God. Sedition hath never been pleasing unto God, nor were the acts committed in the past by certain foolish ones acceptable in His sight. Know ye that to be killed in the path of His good pleasure is better for you than to kill. The beloved of the Lord must, in this day, behave in such wise amidst His servants that they may by their very deeds and actions guide all men unto the paradise of the All-Glorious.”

The dust of sedition hath clouded the hearts of men, and blinded their eyes. Erelong, they will perceive the consequences of what their hands have wrought in the Day of God. Thus warneth you He Who is the All-Informed, as bidden by One Who is the Most Powerful, the Almighty.

It is incumbent upon them who are in authority to exercise moderation in all things. Whatsoever passeth beyond the limits of moderation will cease to exert a beneficial influence. Consider for instance such things as liberty, civilization and the like. However much men of understanding may favourably regard them, they will, if carried to excess, exercise a pernicious influence upon men.

The American nation, of which the community of the Most Great Name forms as yet a negligible and infinitesimal part, stands, indeed, from whichever angle one observes its immediate fortunes, in grave peril. The woes and tribulations which threaten it are partly avoidable, but mostly inevitable and God-sent, for by reason of them a government and people clinging tenaciously to the obsolescent doctrine of absolute sovereignty and upholding a political system, manifestly at variance with the needs of a world already contracted into a neighborhood and crying out for unity, will find itself purged of its anachronistic conceptions, and prepared to play a preponderating role, as foretold by ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá, in the hoisting of the standard of the Lesser Peace, in the unification of mankind, and in the establishment of a world federal government on this planet. These same fiery tribulations will not only firmly weld the American nation to its sister nations in both hemispheres, but will through their cleansing effect, purge it thoroughly of the accumulated dross which ingrained racial prejudice, rampant materialism, widespread ungodliness and moral laxity have combined, in the course of successive generations, to produce, and which have prevented her thus far from assuming the role of world spiritual leadership forecast by ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá’s unerring pen—a role which she is bound to fulfill through travail and sorrow.

PRAYER FOR AMERICA

by

Abdu’l-Baha’

O Thou kind Lord! This gathering is turning to Thee. These hearts are radiant with Thy love. These minds and spirits are exhilarated by the message of Thy glad-tidings. O God! Let this American democracy become glorious in spiritual degrees even as it has aspired to material degrees, and render this just government victorious. Confirm this revered nation to upraise the standard of the oneness of humanity, to promulgate the Most Great Peace, to become thereby most glorious and praiseworthy among all the nations of the world. O God! This American nation is worthy of Thy favors and is deserving of Thy mercy. Make it precious and near to Thee through Thy bounty and bestowal.
