THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH

 "Some heedless souls roam the lands in the name of God, actively engaging in ruining His Cause, and call it promoting the Word of God." –Bahá'u'lláh.  Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, Kalimát-i-Firdawsíyyh (Words of Paradise), p. 59. [The Covenant-breaking Hands and the false 'universal house of justice' destroyed the Bahá'í Faith - their followers roam the earth, ruining His Cause, and call it promoting the Word of God.  The Plan of God explicitly states that Bahá'u'lláh established His eternal throne and His line of successors: the appointed Interpreters which is the institution of the Guardianship.]

 "Clear arguments and firm proofs concerning the manifestation of the Kingdom of God." –'Abdu'l-Bahá.  Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Volume 3, p. 694. "Thou hast attained to the Kingdom of the Lord of Hosts." –'Abdu'l-Bahá.  Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Volume 3, p. 699. "O ye children of the Kingdom." –'Abdu'l-Bahá. Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Volume 3, p. 689. "O thou son of the Kingdom!  Thank you God! that thou hast gone to those parts for the purpose of spreading the word of God and diffusing the holy fragrances of the Kingdom of God and that thou art a gardener in the divine orchard." –'Abdu'l-Bahá.  The Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Volume 3, p. 687.

  "Baha’u’llah, in all the Tablets and Epistles, forbade the true and firm friends from associating and meeting the violators of the Covenant of His Holiness, the Bab, saying that no one should go near them because their breath is like the poison of the snake that kills instantly. In the Hidden Words, He says: “Esteem the friendship of the just, but withhold both mind and hand from the company of the wicked.”" –'Abdu'l-Bahá.  The Master's Last Tablet to America

"The time is now at hand for all the believers to arise unitedly to protect the friends from all false teachings, disobedience to the ordinances of the Cause, and the dissemination of the spirit of delusion, hypocrisy, and disloyalty to the Cause, which bring in their wake spiritual disaster, sickness, and death." –Charles Mason Remey, Second Bahá'í Guardian.  The Protection of the Cause, Reminiscences and Letters.  Library of Congress, Volume 46, pp. 65-66.

 "The seat which, resplendent with the glory of Thy face, sheddeth afar the radiance of Thy sovereignty ,and is established as Thy throne." –Bahá'u'lláh.  Bahá'í Prayers , U.K., p. 39. "My sovereignty endureth and My dominion perisheth not."–Bahá'u'lláh.  Hidden Words #15 (Arabic).

 “Divorced from the institution of the Guardianship, the World Order of Baha’u’llah would be mutilated and permanently deprived of that hereditary principle which, as Abdu’l-Baha has written, has been invariably upheld by the Law of God…”  Shoghi Effendi. The World Order of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 148. "He who symbolizes the hereditary principle in this Dispensation has been made the interpreter of the words of its Author…” The World Order of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 153   "What does it mean to symbolize?   It is well known that the symbol is not the literal thing.   The symbol represents, stands for, something.   When we speak of a thing as being symbolized, it means that one thing stands for, represents, another thing, but it is not that thing represented.            " The hereditary principle is continuous succession.   Therefore, when the guardian is spoken of as “symbol...

  “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...

"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.  

“He speaks of this new age which we are entering as the Day of God, the time for which Christ told men to look when He taught us to pray “Thy Kingdom come upon earth.”   “The time foreordained unto peoples and kindreds of the earth is now come,” He says.”   “The King hath come.”   Bertha Hyde Kirkpatrick.   The Bahá’í World, Vol. 7, p. 722.
