"We have no indication of exactly what nature the apocalyptic upheaval
will be; it might be another war ... but as students of our Baha'i
Writings, it is clear that the longer the 'Divine Physician' (i.e.
Baha'u'llah) is withheld from healing the ills of the world, the more
severe will be the crisis, and the more terrible the sufferings of the
patient."
