I recently received an email, which scolded me for not promoting the Bible. Well I have always planned a Bible page and here it is!!
I am always glad to get feedback from you.
Ocean is a Vast resource
Try it for more information and books about the Bible, the Koran and Baha'i.
  •   Look thou with seeing eyes at the world about thee and at the inhabitants thereof. Upon the stage of this immense theatre, most spectacular plays are being enacted. On one side thereof thou wilt see the victorious and the vanquished legions of profit and loss. On the other side thou wilt observe the waves of the sea of folly rising and falling. Cries are being raised on every side ... The phalanxes of a great army are drawn in battle array, each division taking its position. Armed troops and artillery are to be found in every part of the field. The flash of the swords of enmity blind the eyes from even the most remote distance, the lightning effect of breast-plate and lance and the sparkle of the bucklers of hatred light up the night and bewilder the sight. In short: strife, battle, slaughter, and war are prepared in organized perfection ... On the one hand is to be seen the embellishment and luxury made possible through illicit wealth, and on the other hand, the ravishing of this mortal world of its beautiful appearance. From different parts are to be heard of sighs of anguish, lamentations of poverty, cries of agony and misery ... One hears the weeping of the hopeless, the appeals of the oppressed, the trembling murmurs of the helpless and the harrowing wails of the ship-wrecked in the sea of persecution. The heat of the conflagration of separation spreads on all sides, the fire of longing is raging with great intensity, and the tongues of the flames of calamity leap forth in every direction ... when thou observest these things with the eye of reality, thou wilt see that the outcome, result, and fruit of all these theatrical performances are mirages and their sweetness is bitter poison. A few days the earth shall roll on its axis, and these fleeting visions will be completely forgotten. When thou shuttest thine eyes to this dark world and lookest upward and heavenward, thou wilt see light upon light stretching from eternity to eternity. The reality of the mysteries will be revealed. Happy is the pure soul who does not attach himself to the transient conditions and comforts, but rather seeks to attach himself to the purity, nobility and splendour of the world which endures.

    --- Abdu'l-Baha, Tablet revealed at Ramley, Egypt, September, 1913 and printed in the "Star of the West" magazine, No. 16, p. 273
    I will add versions as time permits.
