Verily I say,
This is the day.......in .which mankind can behold the face
And hear the voice of the Promised One...
The call of God has been raised
And the light of His countenance
Hath been lifted up ....upon men
It behoveth every man to blot out
The trace of every idle word
From the tablet of his heart
And to gaze with an open and unbiased mind
On the signs of His revelation
The proofs of His mission ....and the tokens of His Glory

A parallel may be drawn between
Jesus of the Bible and John x 2
