[Baha’u’llah and the New Era by J.E. Esslemont]@TWC D-Link bookBaha’u’llah and the New Era CHAPTER 14: 'ABDU'L-BAHA 32/33
At night the great city will be lighted by electricity. The entire harbor from Akka to Haifa will be one path of illumination.
Powerful searchlights will be placed on both sides of Mount Carmel to guide the steamers.
Mount Carmel itself, from top to bottom, will be submerged in a sea of lights.
A person standing on the summit of Mount Carmel, and the passengers of the steamers coming to it, will look upon the most sublime and majestic spectacle of the whole world. From every part of the mountain the symphony of "Ya Baha'u'l-Abha!" will be raised, and before the daybreak soul-entrancing music accompanied by melodious voices will be uplifted towards the throne of the Almighty. Indeed, God's ways are mysterious and unsearchable.
What outward relation exists between _Sh_iraz and Tihran, Ba_gh_dad and Constantinople, Adrianople and Akka and Haifa? God worked patiently, step by step, through these various cities, according to His own definite and eternal plan, so that the prophecies and predictions as foretold by the Prophets might be fulfilled.
