7.    The Order of Bahaullah
7.3  The Aqdas
It is to be noted that Mirza Husayn Ali’s stress is on the name of Bahaullah appearing in the passage, with which he connects himself to substantiate his pretensions. The order in which his works are to be collected and arranged falls within the competence of his saintly men due to appear. The order in which his works are to be arranged have nothing to do with the “future world order�? on which Shoghi Effendi expatiates. The arrangement of the works is one thing and “future world order�? is altogether different thing.
In the Aqdas [Elder’s translation), P. 23, Mirza Husayn Ali says: “Those who have been given sight by god to see the stipulations of god, (which are) the greatest cause for the setting of the world in order and the preserving of the nations.�?
Two instances are quoted from Aqdas regarding this “world-redeeming earth-encircling order.�?
Elder’s translation, P. 40 : “Whoever burns a house intentionally, burn him. Whoever kills a person with intent, kill him.�?
Mirza Husayn Ali does not specify the Point’s relevant writing to which the passage relates.
Shoghi Effendi identifies the passage with the third Wáhid of the Persian Bayan, without specifying the relevant B�?B in which it appears.
