The Summons of the Lord of Hosts

by Bahá'u'lláh

"The Summons of the Lord of Hosts" by Bahá'u'lláh is a collection of tablets written to world rulers during his exile in Adrianople and early imprisonment in Acre in 1868. Claiming to be the Promised One of all religions, Bahá'u'lláh summoned kings and leaders of East and West to recognize him. The collection includes messages to Pope Pius IX, Napoleon III, Tsar Alexander II, Queen Victoria, and the Persian Shah, arranged within the symbolic form of a five-pointed temple, fulfilling ancient prophecies about divine revelation.
