From the Bible:
“those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”-- Matt. xxiv, 29-30.

From the Qur’an:

“When the sun shall be shrouded,
And when the stars shall fall,
And when the mountains are made to pass away ...
And when the leaves of the Book shall be unrolled,
And when the heaven shall be uncovered,
And when hell shall be made to blaze.” -- Sura lxxxi.

All these things talk about signs, some believe that it meant the return of Jesus Christ, others Muhammed, and others even other prophets. Is it a sign of Armageddon, a new era, or a dispensation? Baha’is believe that it’s a new dispensation (a new book or a new page).

In the Bible, in Revelations “having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits” is it possible to consider that the Bible is talking about seven religions? Is it possible that Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, Islam and the Baha’i Faith are a chain in the seven religions of God?

Let’s take a walk through history before Baha’u’llah declared his mission, what major events happened in the world?

• Earthquakes, one in Portugal and one in Persia (now Iran). The earth shall shake in many lands
• May 19, 1780, there were solar and lunar eclipses the sun and moon shall darken
• 1833 -1843 comet showers including Halley’s and halo rings around the sun the stars shall fall from the
heavens

The great comet passed by earth the year before the birth of the Baha’i Faith, at a time when people in the United States and the rest of the world were expecting the second coming of Christ. People were in an uproar waiting and praying for their prophets return. Is it possible, that he did in fact return as Baha’u’llah and the world as a whole doesn’t know it yet? So many prophets (Manifestations of God) have come and gone, each one of them bringing us the message of Gods love. Many parts of the world have never had to opportunity to know about any of the Manifestation of God, either do to location or other reasons. The world is fortunate now, that it has information on Gods’ message through the latest Manifestation of God, Baha’u’llah.
