“Call out to Zion, O Carmel,” writes Bahá’u’lláh, “and
announce the joyful tidings: ‘He that was hidden from mortal eyes is come! His
all-conquering sovereignty is manifest; His all-encompassing splendor is
revealed… Hasten forth and circumambulate the City of God that hath descended
from heaven—the celestial Kaaba round which have circled in adoration the
favored of God, the pure in heart and the company of the most exalted angels. (‘The Dispensation of Baha’u’llah; included in ‘The World Order of
Baha’u’llah’)
