When in Bahá'í history
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.
As to thee: Be thou of God, that thou mayest become a leader of peace and reconciliation, hoist the banner of love and quicken the souls through the confirmation of the Holy Spirit.
