The Same Voice

Those that read the Psalms.

If you are a Bahá'í you should be familiar with the many writings
of Bahá'u'lláh that refer to his long suffering. You also know that
these writings are for our benefit. They explain the love of God
for man, that he would show us a man, who would reveal His Word
without having any worldly rewards, only persecution.

There is a certain voice that speaks out of these tablets of Bahá'u'lláh.

When I and a friend started reading the Psalms together, it became very clear that these verses had that same voice of the Blessed Beauty. They spoke of that same suffering that only Bahá'u'lláh has suffered, of that same persecution that only He underwent.

I would be interested to know as to what men of the last 3000 years thought these Psalms to be. I can not see that any would understand them until the time of Bahá.

A.G.W.

O King! I was but a man like others, asleep upon My couch, when lo, the breezes of the All-Glorious were wafted over Me, and taught Me the knowledge of all that hath been. This thing is not from Me, but from One Who is Almighty and All-Knowing. And He bade Me lift up My voice between earth and heaven, and for this there befell Me what hath caused the tears of every man of understanding to flow." - Bahá'u'lláh

I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father taught Me, I speak these things. John 8:28 NKJ

This is but a leaf which the winds of the will of thy Lord, the Almighty, the All-Praised, have stirred. Can it be still when the tempestuous winds are blowing?... His all-compelling summons have reached Me, and caused Me to speak His praise amidst all people. I was indeed as one dead when His behest was uttered.

The hand of the will of thy Lord, the Compassionate, the Merciful, transformed Me. Can any one speak forth of his own accord that for which all men, both high and low, will protest against him? Nay, by Him Who taught the Pen the eternal mysteries, save him whom the grace of the Almighty, the All- Powerful, hath strengthened. - Bahá'u'lláh
