The Báb “as affirmed by Himself”

He, as affirmed by Himself,

  • “the Primal Point from which have been generated all created things,”
  • “one of the sustaining pillars of the Primal Word of God,”
  • the “Mystic Fane,”
  • the “Great Announcement,”
  • the “Flame of that supernal Light that glowed upon Sinai,”
  • the “Remembrance of God” concerning Whom “a separate Covenant hath been established with each and every Prophet” had,
  • through His advent, at once fulfilled the promise of all ages and ushered in the consummation of all Revelations. 
- Shoghi Effendi  (Chapter 4, God Passes By)
