What did Bahá’u’lláh write to the French Emperor Napoleon III?

O KING of Paris! Tell the priest 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…. Say: He Who is the Unconditioned is come, in the clouds of light…

O King! We heard the words thou didst utter in answer to the Czar of Russia, concerning the decision made regarding the war (Crimean War)…. Thou didst say: 'I lay asleep upon my couch, when the cry of the oppressed, who were drowned in the Black Sea, wakened me.‘…. We testify that that which wakened thee was not their cry but the promptings of thine own passions….

For what thou hast done, thy kingdom shall be thrown into confusion, and thine empire shall pass from thine hands, as a punishment for that which thou hast wrought…. Hath thy pomp made thee proud? By My Life! It shall not endure; nay, it shall soon pass away….

Nimrod was warned of the star that told of the coming of Abraham. The soothsayers warned Pharaoh of the star in the heavens that foretold the coming of Moses. The Magi informed Herod of the new star that guided them to the throne of the "spiritual king," Jesus. The same legend is told of Buddha, Zoroaster, Muhammad and Krishna. What were the signs in the heavens during the appearance of the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh? The holy Scriptures of all faiths had spoken of Twin-Revelations that would appear at the "time of the end." Now that the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh had appeared, fulfilling these prophecies, what were the signs in the heavens? Signs, not for one, but for two Messengers of God, Who would appear almost simultaneously? S...

Des bicentenaires qui mettent l’unité en évidence Partager cet article : CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts, publié le 1 er juin 2017 – Alors que la communauté bahá’íe se prépare à célébrer le 200 e anniversaire de la naissance de Bahá’u’lláh, l’école de Divinité de Harvard commémore également son bicentenaire. Cette confluence d’anniversaires remarquables a plus en commun que le simple chevauchement des dates. À la fin du 19 e et pendant la première moitié du 20 e siècle, un certain nombre d’éminents philosophes, artistes et écrivains américains associés à la foi bahá’íe et à l’université de Harvard ont été impliqués dans un discours dynamique et émergeant sur l’unité. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá visite Green Acre en 1912. (Photo du site centenary.bahai.us) C’était le sujet d’une récente présentation portant sur la manière dont le principe bahá’í de l’unité se reflète dans le développement de la communauté bahá’íe américaine.
