From: Reflecting on Baha'i Writings: The Summons of the Lord of Hosts
"This is the Surih of the Temple which God hath ordained to be the Mirror of His Names between the heavens and the earth, and the Sign of His Remembrance amidst the peoples of the world."
Comments:
Let’s ponder on the opening verse of the Surih of Temple:
The Reality that is represented for our age through Baha’u’llah is compared to a human “Temple”. This “Temple” is like a “Mirror” that reflects God’s “Names” “between the heavens and the earth”. This “Temple” is also “the Sign of His (God’s) Remembrance amidst the peoples of the world." What a beautiful way to remind ourselves of these points with respect to the Reality which manifests Itself in the form of all the Manifestations of God!
Question:
What does the phrase “His [God’s] Names” mean? Are they the same as His attributes?
