| Ark |
|
| ‘In the Bahá'í Writings the term "Ark" is often used to signify the Cause of God, or the Covenant, and Bahá'u'lláh, the Holy Mariner. For example, the Báb in the Qayyúmu'l-Asma' has lauded the community of the Most Great Name, the Bahá'ís, as the companions of the Crimson-coloured Ark.'27 |
| In the Tablet of Carmel Bahá'u'lláh declares, ‘Ere long will God sail His Ark upon thee, and will manifest the people of Bahá who have been mentioned in the Book of Names.'28 In this context, Shoghi Effendi has said that the Ark refers to the law of God29 and that the ‘sailing of His Ark' refers to the establishment of the Universal House of Justice.30 |
