Oh, no no no. You’re the one with something to prove, so do your homework. Highlight what you’re wanting to get across, post it here for all to see, and I’ll cross-reference from there. Let’s see it.
Prophecies of the coming of Baha’u’llah continued:
Micah 7:15 “According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt (which was 40 years) will I show unto him marvelous things.”
. This duration of the Israelites was forty years. Baha’u’llah was imprisoned first in 1852 and was imprisoned and exiled for 40 years until His death in 1892. His Revelation from God first occurred in the Siyah Chal, the Black Pit of Tehran, in 1852, and lasted exactly 40 years.
. Note how God prophesied to Noah that “I shall make it rain for 40 days and 40 nights”, that is, with “each day for a year in prophecy”, an allusion to 40 years of constant non-stop Revelation of Baha’u’llah.
. Further note the repetition of 40 years in the wilderness of Moses, Jesus fasting for 40 days forty days and forty nights, the forty days of appearances after His crucifixion, and while it is unimportant from your perspective, the Revelations of Muhammad began at the age of 40, beginning in the year 610 AD. This will become significant as well, for Muhammad’s cycle lasted 1260 years, ending in 1844, which is 2300 days (years) prophesied by Daniel to begin with the rebuilding of Jerusalem under Artaxerxes in the year 457 BC, as mentioned before.
. In Revelation the various time prophecies of 3 1/2 days corresponds to Daniel’s 3 1/2 “times”. A time was 360 days (years in prophecy), thus 3 1/2 X 360 = 1260. Also, in Revelation is mentioned 42 months, times 30 days per month = 1260.
. So for the students of “time prophecies” who reckon 1844 AD as the fulfillment of the 3 1/2 times from Daniel, the year 1260 AH of the Muslim calendar being exactly the same year, there is either one helluva coincidence going on, or Islam must be understood as part of the picture.
. With this being said, further references in Revelation about “the Beast” begin to apply to the Ummayyads and the Caliphate of Islam, who usurped the True Message and Religion of Islam from its intended Successor appointed by Muhammad, that being Ali. These were actually the Meccan Idolators who feigned allegiance to Muhammad to regain a foothold after He came and destroyed their hundreds of Idols and their corrupted perversion of the Ka’aba first established by Abraham…
. Note: Keep in mind the prophecies of Abraham regarding he descendants of Ishmael, son of Hagar, “I will also make a nation of the descendants of Hagar’s son”, in Arabia, i.e. those who became the followers of Muhammad. So both Muslims and Jews are prophesied in Genesis, to be part of the last days, and of course we know the Jews have already returned to Israel, which process began with the Edict of toleration (or submission) signed on March 23, 1844, exactly 2300 years after Artaxerxes issued the decree to rebuild Jerusalem… hmmmm
. Now consider also the words of Jesus: “But of that day and that hour knoweth no man. No, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the Father.”
. One could look at this verse and understand it to mean that, like Daniel, the “hour” of the 2nd coming was likewise “sealed” to Jesus, for He plainly, very Plainly here, says so.
. I cannot discard this verse. I must go to the verse where He says, “Look to Daniel, the prophet”, which was given in answer to the question:
. “When shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” Matthew 24:3
. I have “not” failed to see that the Light came into the world when Jesus appeared. I have not. I recognize that Light. That same Light, which “He” said would come again into the world “has” come, exactly as he said it would, in fulfillment of the prophecies of Daniel, which pointed both to Christ the Messiah being “cut off”, or crucified, in 34 AD, exactly 70 weeks (of years), or 490 years after the Decree to rebuild Jerusalem, which occurred in 457 BC under Artaxerxes, which began also the 2300 days (years) prophecy, which was fulfilled in 1844 AD, with the coming of the Bab.
. Jesus also said of that day “Until Jerusalem would be trampled underfoot by the Gentiles” which was given as 42 months X 30 = 1260 AH - 1844
. Hence, the same prophecies which pointed to the coming of Jesus pointed to the coming of the Bab, as well as Baha’u’llah, as foretold by Daniel the prophet, whom Jesus said to refer to.
. Briefly, time (360) times (720) and a half (180) equals 1260 years. Daniel also refers to 1280, 1290, and 1335. The Book of Revelation also refers to 3 1/2 days (years of 360 X 3/12 equals 1260) Also 42 months X 30 days equals 1260.
. The year 1260 AH “is” the year 1844 AD, which is 2300 years after 457 BC. As there was no year zero: 456 + 1844 = 2300.
. The Bab declared His Mission in 1844 AD, or 1260 AH, in “Elam”, where Daniel had his vision, and where Jeremiah said the Lord would appear to set “His Throne”, in Elam.
. Baha’u’llah declared His Mission in 1863 AD, which was 1280 AH, fulfilling Daniel’s prophecy, which Jesus said to refer to about His coming.
. 1280 AH is also 1290 years after the Revelation was first received by Muhammad.
. It all fits. Hence, the Light “reappeared”, right on schedule. The same schedule that foretold Its first appearance. There is no contradiction. This must be considered.
. Do want more prophecies? There are many more. From many Holy traditions. Please let me know. Thank you. Please forgive some redundancy at this point. Kind of tired. Its after midnight here.
God bless, Lochias
