One night, in the course of His conversation with Mullá
Husayn; the Báb spoke these words:
“Seventeen Letters have thus far enlisted under the standard
of the Faith of God. There remains one more to complete the number. These
Letters of the Living shall arise to proclaim My Cause and to establish My
Faith. To-morrow night the remaining Letter will arrive and will complete the
number of My chosen disciples.”
(Chapter 3, ‘The Dawn-Breakers’)
