The days of tests are now come

"The days of tests are now come. Oceans of dissension and tribulation are
surging, and the Banners of Doubt are, in every nook and corner, occupied in
stirring up mischief and in leading men to perdition. ...Suffer not the
voice of some of the soldiers of negation to cast doubt into your midst,
neither allow yourselves to become heedless of Him Who is the Truth,
inasmuch as in every Dispensation such contentions have been raised. God,
however, will establish His Faith, and manifest His light albeit the
stirrers of sedition abhor it. ...Watch ye every day for the Cause of
God.... All are held captive in His grasp. No place is there for any one to
flee to. Think not the Cause of God to be a thing lightly taken, in which
any one can gratify his whims. In various quarters a number of souls have,
at the present time, advanced this same claim. The time is approaching when
... every one of them will have perished and been lost, nay will have come
to naught and become a thing unremembered, even as the dust itself."

Bahá'u'lláh quoted in Shoghi Effendi's God Passes By, p. 115


Bahá'u'lláh here was referring to the time following the Báb's martyrdom and
prior to His Announcement, respecting the conduct of Mirza Yahya, who
claimed to be the successor of the Báb.  His Words could easily apply to the
present time in the Faith.
