THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH

  “Is not this consummate result, the emergence of the King and the Kingdom into the consciousness of humanity, clearly set forth in the Holy Books of all nations?   Alfred E. Lunt.   The Bahá’í World, Vol. 7, p. 720.

  “Should there appear the least trace of controversy, they must remain silent, and both parties must continue their discussions no longer, but ask the reality of the question from the Interpreter.  This is the irrefutable command!”  ‘Abdu’l-Bahá.  The Bahá’í World, Vol. 7, p. 199.

 "The internecine struggle, now engulfing the generality of mankind, is increasingly assuming, in its range and ferocity, the proportions of the titanic upheaval foreshadowed as far back as seventy years ago by Bahá'u'lláh.  It can be viewed in no other light except as a direct interposition by Him Who is the Ordainer of the universe, the judge of all men and the Deliverer of the nations.  It is the rod of both the anger of God and of His correction.  The fierceness of its devastating power chastens the children of men for their refusal to acclaim the century-old Message of the promised, their Heaven-sent Redeemer.  The fury of its flames, on the other hand, purges away the dross, and welds the limbs of humanity into one single organism, indivisible, purified God-conscious and divinely directed.  Its immediate cause can be traced to the forces engendered by the last war of which it may be truly regarded as the direct continuation...The most powerful nations...

  “The wide earth is one kingdom and one home, where all men think, feel and act as brothers beneath the aegis of a Father – King.”  George Townshend.  The Promise of All Ages, p. 248.

"Those world-shaking, world-embracing, world-directing administrative institutions ordained by Bahá'u'lláh and anticipated by 'Abdu'l-Bahá, and which are to function in consonance with the principles that govern the twin institutions of the Guardianship and the Universal House of Justice.  Then, and then only, will this momentous prophecy which illuminates the concluding passages of the Tablet of Carmel be fulfilled: "Ere long will God sail His Ark upon thee (Carmel), and will manifest the people of Bahá who have been mentioned in the Book of Names."  –Shoghi Effendi, October 23, 1939 [This directly contradicts the lies spread by the Covenant-breaking Hands of the Cause of God after the election of the illegal 'universal house of justice'.  The ex-Hands lied with their fiction that 'God changed His mind'.  God kept His Covenant while the Hands violated it and destroyed the emerging Kingdom of God on earth.]

 "He hath in every age and cycle, in conformity with His transcendent wisdom, sent forth a divine Messenger to revive the dispirited and despondent souls with the living waters of His utterance, One Who is indeed the Expounder, the true Interpreter, inasmuch as man is unable to comprehend that which hath streamed forth from the Pen of Glory and is recorded in His heavenly Books.  Men at all times and under all conditions stand in need of one to exhort them, guide them and to instruct and teach them.  Therefore He hath sent forth His Messengers, His Prophets and chosen ones that they might acquaint the people with the divine purpose underlying the revelation of Books and the raising up of Messengers, and that everyone may become aware of the trust of God which is latent in the reality of every soul." –Bahá'u'lláh.  Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, Lawh-i-Maqsúd, p. 161.  [The Manifestations of God fulfill the Greater Covenant and the Guardians, in the Bahá'í cycle, ...

"God grant that the light of unity may envelop the whole earth and that the seal, 'the Kingdom is God's' may be stamped upon the brow of all its people." –Bahá'u'lláh.  Bahá'í Prayers, U.K. 1975, p. 61. "The Great Being saith: Regard man as a mine rich in gems of inestimable value.  Education can, alone, cause it to reveal its treasures, and enable mankind to benefit therefrom.  If any man were to meditate on that which the Scriptures, sent down from the heaven of God's holy Will, have revealed,he would readily recognize that their purpose is that all men shall be regarded as one soul, so that the seal bearing the words 'The Kingdom shall be God's' may be stamped on every heart, and the light of Divine bounty of grace, and mercy may envelop all mankind."  –Bahá'u'lláh.  Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, Lawh-i-Maqsúd, p. 162.

 "Humanity, heedless and impenitent, is admittedly hovering on the edge of an awful abyss, ready to precipitate itself into that titanic struggle, that crucible whose chastening fires alone can and will weld its antagonistic elements of race, class, religion and nation into one coherent system, one world commonwealth.  " The hour is approaching" is Bahá'u'lláh's own testimony, "When the most great convulsion will have appeared...I swear by God!  The promised day is come, the day when tormenting trials will have surged above your heads, and beneath your feet, saying: 'Taste ye, what your hands have wrought.'" ... an unregenerate yet potentially glorious race...the inevitability of the final eruption...the confusion and breakdown of human institutions...the shattered basis of a dismembered society...That Christ-promised Kingdom, that World Order whose generative impulse is the spirit of none other than Bahá'u'lláh Himself, whose domini...

  "The glory which proceedeth from God, the Lord of the Throne on High and of the earth below, rest upon you, O people of Bahá, O ye the companions of the Crimson Ark." Bahá'u'lláh. Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh – Tablet of the World, p. 97.

  "O thou seeker of the Divine Kingdom! The heavenly doors opened, the hosts of realities and significances rushed forth, the Lord of Hosts established a heavenly throne and spread the armies of peace and reconciliation in all parts of the world, in order that the reign of peace and love may be founded. Now that army is engaged in [diffusing] virtues throughout all regions....O thou plant in the Garden of the Kingdom." 'Abdu'l-Bahá. Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Volume 3, p. 674.

  “If civil governments have found it necessary to adopt the doctrine that “ignorance of the law is no excuse,” how much more essential it is for Bahá’ís, individually and collectively, to base their responsible actions upon thorough comprehension of the fundamental principles which underlie that Administrative Order which in its maturity is destined to become the World Order of Bahá’u’lláh.”  National Spiritual Assembly of the United States.  The Bahá’í World, Vol. 7, p. 242. [The Guardianship is the Executive Head of Bahá'u'lláh's Kingdom which the Violating Hands and False Universal House of Justice illegally eliminated. This action has forced the Bahá'í Faith into an apostate, criminal organization.]

  “The apex and keystone of this world structure is the institution of Guardianship established by Bahá’u’lláh as the focal point around which the world’s thought and action revolve, creating a functional unity unassailable by the dispersive quality.” Stanwood Cobb.   The Bahá’í World, Vol. 7, p. 696.

  According to Shoghi Effendi, on page 74 of Messages to the Bahá'í World 1950-1957 , Charles Mason Remey was the architect of The International Bahá'í Archives building on Mt. Carmel. Not only has the criminal enterprise masquerading as the Bahá'í Faith denied Charles Mason Remey his rightful place as the Second Guardian, but they have stripped him of his accomplishment as the one who designed this significant building on Mount Carmel. Charles Mason Remey studied Architecture at L'Ecole Des Beaux Arts in Paris. He was one of the only Westerners to visit the first Bahá'í Temple in Ishqabad, designed by 'Abdu'l-Bahá. In 1914 'Abdu'l-Bahá instructed Charles Mason Remey to write a book on the subject of Architecture, which he did. In 1921, 'Abdu'l-Bahá named Charles Mason Remey Architect of the future Mashriqu'l-Adhkár on Mount Carmel. Shoghi Effendi used the designs of Charles Mason Remey for the graves of the Greatest Holy Leaf, her mot...

 "O People!  The doors of the Kingdom are opened; The Sun of Truth is shining upon the world; the fountains of life are flowing; the day spring of mercy have appeared; the greatest the most glorious light is now manifest to illuminate the souls of men.  Wake up and hear the voice of God calling from all parts of the supreme world – – "Come unto Me O ye children of men; Come unto Me all ye who are thirsty and drink from this sweet water which is descending in torrents upon all parts of the globe."  – 'Abdu'l-Bahá.

The Charles Mason Remey Papers placed in the Library of Congress, Volume 52.

 "Evidence of increasing hostility without, persistent machinations within, foreshadowing dire contests destined to range the Army of Light against the forces of darkness, both secular and religious, predicted in unequivocal language by 'Abdu'l-Bahá, necessitates in this crucial hour closer association of the Hands of the five continents and the bodies of the elected representatives of the national Bahá'í communities the world over for joint investigation of the nefarious activies of internal enemies and the adoption of wise, effective measures to counteract their treacherous schemes, protect the mass of the believers, and arrest the spread of their evil influence. "Call upon Hands and National Assemblies, each continent separately to establish henceforth direct conact and deliberate, whenever feasible, as frequently as possible, to exchange reports to be submitted by their respective Auxiliary Boards and national committees, to exercise unrelaxing vigilance and c...

 "I affirm," is 'Abdu'l-Bahá's own written comment on the Tablet of the Branch, "that the true meaning, the real significance, the inner most secret of these verses, of these very words, is my own servitude to the sacred Threshold of the Abha Beauty, my complete self effacement, my utter nothingness before Him. This is my resplendent crown, my most precious adorning.  On this I pride myself in the Kingdom of earth and heaven. Therein I glory among the company of the well-favored." "No one is permitted," He warns us in the passage which immediately follows, "to give these verses any other interpretation." "I am," He, in this same connection, affirms, "according to the explicit texts of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas and the Kitáb-i-'Ahd the manifest Interpreter of the Word ofGod...Whoso deviates from my interpretation is a victim of his own fancy." –Shoghi Effendi.  The World Order of Bahá'u'lláh, p. 138.

  ..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...

  “…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’...
