The thousand years between Manifestations appearances does not begin
until AFTER a Revelation is completed. The Revelation of the Greatest
Name has three parts. Consider the following:
Perhaps the concept of a Manifestation coming whenever humanity
reaches a certain point of spiritual capacity, whether it be after
nine or a thousand years, is new to many believers. In the Kitab-i-
Aqdas Baha’’u’’llah states that there will not be a new REVELATION
for a thousand years, and it seems that most Baha’’is change the word
Revelation to Manifestation, and so are veiled as were the Babis who
did the same when the Bab promised that a new Manifestation would
appear every 1000 years, and He also remarked that Muhammad appeared
only 700 years after Christ. This indicated that God could also send a
Manifestation before 1000 years. Yet when Baha’’u’’llah declared His
Message only 19 years after the Bab, many Babi’’s denounced Him, to
which He replied:
. " O ye who are inly blind! Whether too soon or too late, the
evidences of His effulgent glory are now actually manifest. It
behoveth you to ascertain whether or not such a light hath appeared.
It is neither within your power nor mine to set the time at which it
should be made manifest. God's inscrutable Wisdom hath fixed its hour
beforehand. Be content, O people, with that which God hath desired for
you and predestined unto you." (Gleanings p 103)
“Gracious God ! It was intended that at the time of the
manifestation of the One true God the faculty of recognizing Him would
have been developed and matured and would have reached its
culmination. However, it is now clearly demonstrated that in the
disbelievers this faculty hath remained” undeveloped and hath, indeed,
degenerated." Baha'u'llah in Tablets of Baha'u'llah, p. 53
"Notwithstanding the divinely-inspired admonitions of all the
Prophets, the saints and the Chosen Ones of God, enjoining the people
to see with their own eyes and hear with their own ears, they have
disdainfully rejected their counsels and have blindly followed and
will continue to follow the leaders of their Faith." Baha'u'llah,
Kitab-i-Iqan, p. 164
God tests the spiritual insight of all believers, so you are
required to think the Writings through carefully, as a whole, not just
little portions out of context.
