“The Báb, acclaimed by Bahá’u’lláh”

The Báb, acclaimed by Bahá’u’lláh as

  • the “Essence of Essences,”
  • the “Sea of Seas,”
  • the “Point round Whom the realities of the Prophets and Messengers revolve,”
  • “from Whom God hath caused to proceed the knowledge of all that was and shall be,”
  • Whose “rank excelleth that of all the Prophets,” and
  • Whose “Revelation transcendeth the comprehension and understanding of all their chosen ones,” had delivered His Message and discharged His mission.
