Tablet of Carmel heralds spiritual and administrative undertakings at the World Centre; "sailing of the ark" (of His laws) refers to establishment of the Universal House of Justice[edit]

In this Dispensation, these laws are destined to flow from this Holy Mountain, even as in the Mosaic Dispensation the law of God was promulgated from Zion. The "sailing of the Ark" of His laws is a reference to the establishment of the Universal House of Justice, which is indeed the Seat of Legislation, one of the branches of the World Administrative Centre of the Bahá'ís on this Holy Mountain ...."
