Yet, undeniably, we must go from chaos to order. Is this not what is promised in the Covenant of God? “Verily, the mission of all the prophets, the relation of all the scriptures, the diffusion of the instructions of God and the descent of His law, were all in order to establish agreement and union and to strengthen love and harmony among nations of different customs and thoughts, of diverse beliefs, doctrines, rites and habits; of various classes, tribes and races.” [121] It is through the revealed observances and laws provided via the Manifestations of God that the world is set in order. The Kitab-i-Aqdas is “"the chief depository wherein are enshrined those priceless elements of that Divine Civilization, the establishment of which is the primary mission of the Bahá'í Faith.” [122]
