Lawḥ-i-Nápulyún I
From Bahaipedia
Lawḥ-i-Nápulyún is the title of a series of Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh revealed for Emperor Napoleon III of France. The first was revealed in Adrianople. A portion was translated by Shoghi Effendi in his letter The Promised Day Is Come.
In the Tablet Bahá’u’lláh uses humble language to request that Napoleon III consider His situation and oppression. It was delivered to the Emperor through a French minister and no reply was received however Shoghi Effendi states that Napoleon was reported to have said "If this man is God, I am two Gods!" in response to the Tablet.[1] The Tablet is estimated to have been revealed in either 1866 or 1867.[2]
