I had completely forgotten about this translation! That last sentence?

I had completely forgotten about this translation!

That last sentence?

Search on any Baha'i search program will show the authorized translation. It is also available on the US Baha'i website. Here is an excerpt: "Ruling elites can make no more serious error than to imagine that the power they have managed to arrogate to themselves provides an enduring bulwark against the relentless tides of historical change. Today, in Iran as everywhere throughout the world, these tides roll in with insistent urgency and tumultuous force. They are not merely at the door of the house, but rise up irresistibly through its floors. They cannot be diverted. They will not be denied." (The Universal House of Justice, 2003 Nov 26, To the Followers of Bahá'u'lláh in the Cradle of the Faith) There is an official translation.

Never. It's eerie how prophetic it's turned out to be.... There is, I humbly suggest, however, an important error in your translation of that last sentence, with all love and humility towards my teacher and friend, Dr. Fananapazir. It is not that the Universal House of Justice, the author of this message, are "pray[ing] *so that* the dark night of restrictions may expire." Note that in the Persian, there is a period. A thought has ended. A new sentence begins, saying, in effect, "The dark night of restrictions *will* expire, and.. (this is the intense prediction) ..you *will* all witness the gladsome greatness and glory of that strong Edifice which you have been building with so much sacrifice and selflessness." *emphases all mine* I owe oceans of thanks to my dear friend Manigeh Roosta of Bolivia, for having over the past almost 6 yrs pointed out the prophetic nature of that last sentence. Many thanks. I can never forget this message or its last sentence. Never. It’s eerie how prophetic it’s turned out to be….
