Baha'u'llah
writes:
" Consider the sun. were it to say now,' I am the sun of yesterday, ' it
would speak
the truth. And should it, bearing the sequence of time in mind, claim
to be other
than that sun, it still would speak the truth. In like manner, if it be
said that all the
days are but one and the same, it is correct
and true. And if it be said , with
respect to their particular names and designations, that they
differ, that again is
true. For though they are the same, yet one doth recognize
in each a separate
designation , a specific attribute, a particular
character . Conceive accordingly
the distinction, variation , and unity characteristic
of various Manifestations of
holiness, that thou mayest comprehend all allusions made
by the
Creator of all
names, and attributes to the mysteries of distinction and unity,
and discover the
answer to thy question as to why that everlasting
beauty should have, at the
sundry times, called Himself by different names and titles. "
