The Bahai Revelation

Thornton Chase

"The Bahá'í Revelation is a profound concept that lies at the heart of the Bahá'í Faith. Let us explore this spiritual perspective: God's Light and Progressive Revelation: God, the Creator of the universe, is all-knowing, all-loving, and all-merciful. Just as the physical sun shines upon the world, so does the light of God illuminate all of Creation. However, it is impossible for any mortal mind to fully comprehend the reality of God. Throughout history, God has sent Divine Messengers, known as Manifestations of God, to guide humanity. These Manifestations include Abraham, Krishna, Zoroaster, Moses, Buddha, Jesus Christ, Muḥammad, and, in more recent times, the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh. Their purpose is to cultivate humanity's spiritual, intellectual, and moral capacities. Progressive Revelation: Progressive revelation is a core teaching in the Bahá'í Faith. It suggests that religious truth is revealed by God progressively and cyclically over time. Each Manifestation tailors their teachings to suit the needs of the era, the location, and the capacity of humanity. Just as a child's education progresses through different stages, humanity collectively evolves. We find ourselves at the threshold of a coming age—a planetary civilization reshaping human society worldwide. Witnessing God's Handiwork: Reflect upon the wondrous evidences of God's handiwork. Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, invites us to recognize the signs of divine guidance. As we embrace unity, justice, and compassion, we contribute to the advancement of civilization. In this journey of progressive revelation, humanity unfolds like a magnificent tapestry, woven with threads of love, wisdom, and purpose."
