Three in one. That’s the third day of pilgrimage.
And I’m sure there’s an intended order here; first, off to visit the most holy spot on earth, the Shrine of Bahá’u’lláh in BahjÃ, the Holy of Holies, where lies interred, in the words of the Guardian, ‘the holiest dust the earth ever received into its bosom.’
Immediately afterwards, back to Haifa for a special reception by the head of our faith, the Universal House of Justice, that unique institution unparalleled in human history. Humanity has evolved such that, for the first time, it is mature enough to be able to handle a link to the spiritual realm without the aid of a prophet or messenger. The Age of Prophecy is gone, the time of the Kingdom of God on earth is here.
Well, not quite. One last link remains, the Hand of the Cause of God, Dr. Varqa. And yep, third on our list for the third day of pilgrimage.
