the Messiah of God has appeared. Intellects must now be sharpened; hearts must be attentive; pens wielded with vigour, and all must gird up their loins, righteous souls would now be given understanding, and every willing person would have reason. For, whatever shines in heaven brightens up the earth also.
Blessed and fortunate is he who has a share of this light! As the fruit appears in season, so the light descends at its appointed time; no one can bring it down before it descends of itself, nor stop it when it descends.
There must be differences and controversies. At the end, however, truth must prevail, for this is not the work of man; the son of man has no hand in it – it is from the God who changes the seasons, moves the times, and converts night into day and day into night. He has created darkness but He loves the light.
