What did Bahá’u’lláh write to Pope Pius IX?

O Pope! Rend the veils asunder. He Who is the Lord ofLords is come overshadowed with clouds, and the decreehath been fulfilled by God, the Almighty, theUnrestrained…. He, verily, hath again come down fromHeaven even as He came down from it the first time. Bewarethat thou dispute not with Him even as the Phariseesdisputed with Him (Jesus) without a clear token or proof.On His right hand flow the living waters of grace, and onHis left the choice Wine of justice, whilst before Him marchthe angels of Paradise, bearing the banners of His signs.Beware lest any name debar thee from God, the Creator ofearth and heaven. Leave thou the world behind thee, andturn towards thy Lord, through Whom the whole earth hathbeen illumined…Arise in the name of thy Lord, the God ofMercy, amidst the peoples of the earth, and seize thou theCup of Life with the hands of confidence, and first drinkthou therefrom, and proffer it then to such as turn towards itamongst the peoples of all faiths….

What did Bahá’u’lláh write to Russia’s Czar Alexander II

O CZAR of Russia! Incline thine ear unto the voice of God, the King, the Holy, and turn thou unto Paradise,…' He Who is the Father is come, and the Son (Jesus), in the holy vale, crieth out: 'Here am I, here am I, O Lord, My God!' whilst Sinai circleth round the House, and the Burning Bush calleth aloud: 'The All-Bounteous is come mounted upon the clouds! Blessed is he that draweth nigh unto Him, and woe betide them that are far away.' Arise thou amongst men in the name of this all-compelling Cause, and summon, then, the nations unto God, the Exalted, the Great. Be thou not of them who called upon God by one of His names, but who, when He Who is the Object of all names appeared, denied Him and turned aside from Him, and, in the end, pronounced sentence against Him with manifest injustice…. I am the One Whom the tongue of Isaiah hath extolled, the One with Whose name both the Torah and the Evangel were adorned…. Blessed be the king whose sovereignty hath withhel...
