The prophecy says that the Mahdi and Jesus will meet and conduct a prayer together with many people in attendance. This kind of non-physical meeting just does not work as a fulfillment of that prophecy.
The time for the appearance of the Mahdi is pretty close (with Jesus following soon after) - you don’t want to fail to recognize either of them. There is nothing wrong in following the Bab and Bahaullah and their teachings, but giving them such exalted positions would be a sad mistake.
The Numbers in the Bible add up, but add up very well and if we use a starting point that can prove Christs Mission from the Old Testament, it is uncanny it can also be used to p(name removed by moderator)oint the length of the message of Muhammad and the start of the Baha’i Faith in 1844.
Thus quickly…
The book of Daniel Gives a starting point, the 457 Edict to rebuild the temple and used with the 70 weeks we get to predict Christ…
"But Daniel refers especially to the third edict which was issued in the year 457 B.C. Seventy weeks make four hundred and ninety days. Each day, according to the text of the Holy Book, is a year. For in the Bible it is said: "The day of the Lord is one year.Therefore, four hundred and ninety days are four hundred and ninety years. The third edict of Artaxerxes was issued four hundred and fifty-seven years before the birth of Christ, and Christ when He was martyred and ascended was thirty-three years of age. When you add thirty-three to four hundred and fifty-seven, the result is four hundred and ninety, which is the time announced by Daniel for the manifestation of Christ. [1 Cf. Num. 14:34.]
There is more on this, but that will do for now.
If we use this same starting point of the 457 Edict and In the eighth chapter of the Book of Daniel, verse thirteen, it is said: “Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?” Then he answered (v. 14): “Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed”; (v. 17) “But he said unto me … at the time of the end shall be the vision.”
2300 - 457 = 1843 (From the date -457 to birth of Christ is 456 years) = 1844
You can see why William Miller that started the Seventh Day Adventists was excited for 1843-1844
Now If we turn to Revelation it mentions Daniel and then Gives 1260 Years in various ways in a few chapters.
It was not known by William Miller that 1844AD was also 1260AH
Thus Daniel predicted the start of the Baha’i Faith and that the revelation of Baha’u’llah concluded the Mission of Muhammad in exactly the 1260 years foretold in Revelation.
Of course this has many other aspects and other biblical dated that also can be referenced.
The Koran and Zoroaster Scriptures also show this year
Zoroastrianism Predicts 1844 for its Hushidar Door of Wisdom in terms of the religion of the Arabian, written long before the appearance of Islam When 1,260 years have elapsed from the religion of the Arabian.Hushidar will appear and the Iranians will kill him.
Islam Predicts 1844 for its Qaim Twelfth Imam, saying:
• Everything will ascend to Him on a Day that will measure a thousand years.This decodes from the AH 260 (AD 873) disappearance of the Twelfth Imam to his AH 1260 (1844) Return as the Bab
• In the year ‘GHARS’ the earth shall be illumined by his light. Abjad numerology decodes this as AH 1260 (1844)
• The year of his Revelation is identical with half of that number which is divisible by nine.This decodes as 2560 (the lowest number divisible by all nine digits), half of which renders as the year AH 1260 (1844).
• Concerning the year in which the Qa’im was to be made manifest…in the year sixty his cause shall be revealed and his name noised abroad.This decodes as AH 1260 (1844)
