25,P106

"Be fair, ye peoples of the world;" He thus appeals to mankind, "is it meet and seemly for you to question the authority of one Whose presence `He Who conversed with God' (Moses) hath longed to attain, the beauty of Whose countenance `God's Well-beloved' (Muhammad) had yearned to behold, through the potency of Whose love the `Spirit of God' (Jesus) ascended to heaven, for Whose sake the `Primal Point' (the Báb) offered up His life?" "Seize your chance," He admonishes His followers, "inasmuch as a fleeting moment in this Day excelleth centuries of a bygone age... Neither sun nor moon hath witnessed a day such as this... It is evident that every age in which a Manifestation of God hath lived is divinely ordained and may, in a sense, be characterized as God's appointed Day. This Day, however, is unique and is to be distinguished from those that have preceded it. The designation `Seal of the Prophets' fully reveals and demonstrates its high station."
