Bicentenary Poems and Prose

Proclaiming Him Whom God Shall Make Manifest: To The Bab

Proclaiming Him Whom God Shall Make Manifest:
To The Bab

"Say, verily, the good-pleasure of Him Whom God shall make manifest is the good-pleasure of God, while the displeasure of Him Whom God shall make manifest is none other than the displeasure of God. Avoid ye His displeasure, and flee for refuge unto His good-pleasure..."

The Bab1

Opening the door
to Him Whom God shall make manifest,
way joy
and the main goal
of Ali Muhammad,
the Bab.

His scriptures proclaimed
the coming of another Divine Manifestation,
who would fulfill the prophecies
in all the sacred scriptures.

The Bab knew
that God's promise,
God's plan
would come to pass,
and peace on Earth
would eventually arrive.

Poet's Note: ▼

This is poem 91 of the 200 I am writing to celebrate the Bicentenary of the Birth of The Bab.
