"... arise, and rest assured that you will be with Me. Tomorrow you shall witness what God has decreed."

"Rejoice, the hour is approaching when, in this very city, I shall be suspended before the eyes of the multitude and shall fall a victim to the fire of the enemy. I shall choose no one except you to share with Me the cup of martyrdom. Rest assured that this promise which I give you shall be fulfilled."

"Had you believed in Me, O wayward generation..."

"I Myself will follow you, together with one of My loyal disciples, and will join you in the realm of eternity."

"O My beloved friends! You are the bearers of the name of God in this Day. You have been chosen as the repositories of His mystery. It behoves each one of you to manifest the attributes of God, and to exemplify by your deeds and words the signs of His righteousness, His power and glory."

"Heed not your weaknesses and frailty; fix your gaze upon the invincible power of the Lord, your God, the Almighty."

"Arise in His name, put your trust wholly in Him, and be assured of ultimate victory."
