15.    Perquisites of Him Whom God Will Make Manifest

15.3.   Bahai Accounts of Bayanic Prophecies

15.3.1  Baha’s E.S.
In his Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, Shoghi Effendi’s translation, P. 173, Mirza Husayn Ali says: “And, likewise, he [i.e. the Primal Point saith : “How many the fires which God converteth into light through Him Whom God Shall Make Manifest; and how numerous the lights which are turned into fire through Him! I behold His appearance even as the Sun in the midmost heaven, and the disappearance of all even as that of the stars of the night by day”.

This passage appears in II, 17, with its last sentence deliberately and purposely suppressed by Mirza Husayn Ali to mislead the investigator. As the text clearly indicates the Primal Point perceived mentally the appearance of Him Whom God Will Make Manifest from the point of view of the faith and truth. He did not behold him in mortal frame.

In ibid, P. 157, Mirza Husayn Ali says: “likewise, refuting certain disbelievers, He [i.e. the Primal Point] sayth: “For none knoweth the time of the Revelation except God whenever it appeareth, all must acknowledge the Point of Truth, and render thanks unto God.’ ”
This passage appears in III, 15, P. 14 (Baha's First interpretation of Mustaqath Reducing it to 19 years). Mirza Husayn Ali has read it out of its context.
