POEM
They came of their own free will.
They came without invitation.
They each, all eighteen of them, searched for and found Him, the Promised One, the Qá’im, the Báb.
With complete abandonment of self to His will they each followed His instruction to the letter, without fear for loss of life or limb. His wish was their only desire.
To their very last breath they arose to announce his coming, spread His message and proclaim His Cause.
No power on earth would they allow to prevent the surging growth of the Cause of God. This was, after all, God’s own plan for the salvation of all the dwellers of earth.
How could they, how could He ever be defeated?
Theirs was the honour of being the first believers, the first to be given the opportunity to proclaim this Great Cause!
They would die for this Cause… Why would they not?
How could any earthly force ever prevent the Will of God.
Why would they prevail?
Two words….
ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE!
