Soon thou shalt find thyself in evident loss.

Thou didst unite with the Ruler of Persia for doing Me harm, although I had come to you from the Dawning-place of the Almighty, the Great, with a Cause which refreshed the eyes of the favored ones of God....
Didst thou think that thou could put out the fire which God hath enkindled in the Universe?
No! I declare by His True Soul, wert thou of those who understand.

More than that, by what thou hast done its blaze and flame have been increased.

Soon it will encompass the world and its inhabitants....

The day is approaching when the Land of Mystery (Adrianople) and what is beside it shall be changed, and shall pass out of the hands of the King, and commotions shall appear, and the voice of lamentation shall be raised, and the evidences of mischief shall be revealed on all sides, and confusion shall spread by reason of that which hath befallen these captives [Baha'u'llah and His companions] at the hands of the hosts of oppression.
