The Affect of Baha'u'llah's Revelation Upon Humanity

The Affect of Baha'u'llah's Revelation Upon Humanity

The first trumpet blast sounded!
Proclaiming,
to the expanding universe,
the glory of divine revelation.

The second trumpet blast sounded!
Generating shock waves
through the interstellar medium.

The third trumpet blast sounded!
The universe quivered,
and began
the the process of contraction.

Over the clamor of annihilation,
the fourth trumpet bast sounded!
Proclaiming,d
to the contracting universe,
the approaching resurrection.

The fifth trumpet blast sounded!
The cosmos gave a final shutter,
condensing
into its primordial atom.

Light surged
across the surface of the abyss,
as the sixth trumpet blast sounded!

The seventh trumpet blast sounded!
Erupting
into myriad points of light,
the primordial atom burst
generating a new heaven and a new Earth.

Expanding
from its point of origin
the new universe
acquired form and substance,
while physical and spiritual evolution
ascended new plateaus.

Condensing
from the interstellar medium,
solar nebulae
drifted across the surface of the void
reflecting
atom-by-atom
the countenance of the Blessed Beauty.
