awaken...

I wish to awaken you out of your deep slumber.

Do you know in what day you are living?

Do you realize in what dispensation you exist?

Have you not read in the holy scriptures

that at the consummation of the ages

there would dawn a day

the sum total of all past days?

This is the day when the Lord of hosts

hath come on the clouds of glory.

This is the day in which the inhabitants

of the world shall enter

under the tent of the word of God.

This is the day whose real sovereign

is His Highness the Almighty.

This is the day when the east and the west

shall embrace each other like unto two lovers;

war and contention shall be forgotten

and nations and governments

shall enter into an eternal bond

of amity and conciliation.

This century is the fulfillment

of the promised century,

the dawn of the appearances

of the glorious visions of past prophets and sages.
