Bahá'í Faith and other religions
Each of the world's major religions contain prophecies foretelling the coming
of a Promised One. Each of the great world religions' Founders either promised
to send another like himself, personally return himself, or in some instances...
promised to do both.
For example, Christians await the return of Christ and the coming of "another
comforter." The Jewish scriptures foretell the coming of "another Prophet"
like Moses and Elijah's return from heaven. Many Moslems await the appearance
of Mahdi and Meseeh. Krishna promised to personally return from age to age.
Buddha said that he was not the first Buddha ever to appear and that another
"supremely enlightened" Buddha was still yet to come. Zoroastrian prophecies
foretell the coming of a "World-renovator." Native American prophecies foretell
the coming of a bearded white man from the east who will bring teachings which
will restore the "hoop of unity."
Each religion, in its own way, has foretold the coming of a great 'religion
restoring', 'world uniting', 'peace bringing' Messiah. For centuries, people
from all over the world have been hoping and praying that they will be the
generation which will witness the appearance of their Promised One. Not many
have considered the possibility that these prophecies from the various religions
might actually all be foretelling the exact same event.
Members of the Bahá'í Faith believe that in the middle of the
last century these prophecies actually were fulfilled and that the Promised
One truly did appear. Bahá'u'lláh, the Prophet-founder of the
Bahá'í Faith, claims to be the Promised One whose coming was
explicitly foretold, not only in the Old and the New Testaments... but also
in the prophecies of the Buddhist, Hindu, Islamic, Zoroastrian, and other
religions.
If Bahá'u'lláh truly is the Promised One, then His appearance
is one of the greatest events of human history. Are Bahá'u'lláh's
claims true? How can we know for certain? Just take a look at some of the
proofs and prophecies... and then decide for yourself. (1)
