THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH

  ..The brothers of His Holiness Christ came to Him and it was said, “These are your brothers.”   He answered that His brothers were those who believed in God, and refused to associate with His own brothers… His Holiness Christ did not exercise despotism in the case of Judas Iscariot and His own brothers, but they separated themselves.   In short, the point is this: ‘Abdu’l-Bahá is extremely kind, but when the disease is leprosy, what am I to do? …One must protect and safeguard the blessed souls from the breaths and fatal spiritual diseases, otherwise violation, like the plague, will become a contagion and all will perish.                                                         ...

"Be a vigilant guard for the impregnable fort of God, and protect it against the intrusion of the ignorant." – 'Abdu'l-Bahá Report of The Baha'i Committee of Investigation 1917-1918 "The Kirchner Affair"

 "Treacherous Ruhi Afnan, not content with previous disobedience, correspondence with Ahmad Sohrab, contact with old Covenant-breakers, sale, in conjunction with other members of family, of sacred property purchased by Founder of Faith, and allowing his siter to marry son of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's enemy, is now openly lecturing on Bahá'í movement, claiming to be its exponent and is misrepresenting the teachings and deliberately causing to be its exponent and is misrepresenting the teachings and deliberately causing confusion in minds of authorities and the local population.  Inform National Assemblies."  ––SHOGHI  [Cablegram, May 17, 1953] Why does the current, apostate Bahá'í Faith endorse the 'Ruhi Institute'?  Poor Shoghi Effendi's work is destroyed through  the rampant violation of the Faith for which he sacrificed 36 years of his life.  In His final cable to the United States, 'Abdu'l-Bahá explicitly states, "HE WHO SITS WITH LEPER CA...

“ I refused to sign my name as still being in the service of Shoghi Effendi.”                           –Charles Mason Remey, A Last Appeal to the Hands of the Faith.     “The Institution of the Guardianship is the channel and the only channel through which The Holy Spirit can reach the world throughout the centuries to come of this Baha'i Dispensation.   The working out of this Divine Guidance was demonstrated with great clarity in the mission of the first Guardian of the Faith, Shoghi Effendi.   Of that the Hands of the Faith are amply aware.“   “Unity, Unity, has ever been the cry of the violators, when this unity that they cry out for is the very worst thing for the Faith for under these conditions separating the faithful from the violators provides the only safety for the Faith.”   “Unity, Unity has been the cry of the violator...

  “…praying that you will become aware of the evils into which your present program for 1963 is plunging the cause before it be too late:”   “For the honor of the cause, the Hands of the Faith must always maintain the confidence of the Baha'i people of America, the Cradle of the Administration that is in reality the Guardianship. ”   “They in America still hope for a Guardian.  In plain words, they are deceived as to the real intent of the majority of the Hands of the Faith which is that the Hands intend that the Guardianship be forever closed!”    – Charles Mason Remey, An Appeal to the Hands of the Faith.

        In order to protect our Faith I, the Guardian of the Cause, order the believers to have nothing whatsoever to do with those who are violating the Administration of the Baha'i Faith.  The faithful believers should do what they can to explain this to those who waveringly follow these violators thus to bring them back into the Faith that they are violating, but if people persist in their violation the faithful believers should leave them to themselves – not associate nor fraternize with them.  Nor should they in any way give cooperation or support of any description to these violators – this means no cooperation at all with them – the faithful friends should not contribute any money to the activities of these violators nor in any other way countenance any of the activities of this violation       At this present time Ruhiyyih Khanum is traveling throughout the Baha'i centers i...

  “First international and incomparably holy enterprise synchronizing with the birth of the International Bahá’í Council at the very heart and center of a world-encircling Faith… newly-formed Council [International Bahá’í Council], now established at its very heart, is designed to foster, which will gather momentum, with the emergence in the course of time of a properly recognized and independently functioning Bahá’í Court , which will attain its consummation in the institution of the Universal House of Justice and the emergence of the auxiliary administrative Agencies, revolving around this Highest Legislative Body, and which will reveal the plenitude of its potentialities with the sailing of the Divine Ark as promised in the Tablet of Carmel ."  Shoghi Effendi.   The Bahá’í World, Vol. 12, p. 349.

  “Once the mind and heart have grasped the fact that God guides men through a Mouthpiece, a human being, a Prophet, infallible and unerring, it is only a logical projection of this acceptance to also accept the station of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and the Guardians.   The Guardians are the evidence of the maturity of mankind in the sense that at long last men have progressed to the point of having one world, and of needing one world management for human affairs.   In the spiritual realm they have also reached the point where God could leave, in human hands (i.e. the Guardians) guided directly by the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh as the Master states in His Will, the affairs of His Faith for this Dispensation.   This is what is meant by this is the day which will not be followed by night!   In this Dispensation divine guidance flows onto us in this world after the Prophets ascension, through first the Master, and then the Guardians.   If a person can accept Bahá’...

  THE PROTECTION OF THE CAUSE OF GOD               During the past few years, it has been my portion of the Abha experience to have traveled quite extensively among the Bahai assemblies in various countries, and to have witnessed under varying conditions the working of the Cause, and upon occasions to have observed at first hand certain phases of violation of the Cause of Baha’o’llah, in some instances to a considerable extent in the large assemblies, and in other instances here and there among individuals and small groups of our people, but always being destructive and detrimental to the vitality of the Spirit of The Covenant.             It is only recently that the real gravity of these various forms of violation have been dawning upon me.   At one time the actual spoken denial of Abdul Baha as The Center of the Covenant of Baha’o’llah ...
