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 significant religious writings composed in the late 19th century. This work serves as a pivotal proclamation of Bahá'u'lláh's message to the rulers and leaders of the world, urging them to recognize his role as a Messenger of God and to promote justice and unity among humanity. The text explores profound spiritual themes, including the divine nature of leadership andthe importance of adhering to the principles of justice and equity. The opening of "The Summons of the Lord of Hosts" presents an introduction to the context and significance of Bahá'u'lláh's revelations during his time in Adrianople and his eventual exile to 'Akká. It outlines the major components of the work, including the influential Súriy-i-Haykal, which calls notable royalty to account for their governance. The text sets the stage for Bahá'u'lláh's urgent appeals for recognition of his mission and his summons to humanity, encapsulating the essence of his teachings in a series of profound and poetic admonitions to embrace peace, justice, and spiritual unity.
