The question is... Muhammad, The Bab and Baha'u'llah were all "The return of Christ". The 1844 prophecy doesn't go to Baha'u'llah, it goes to the one who was his forerunner. And, it bypassed Muhammad. Sure, all the "prophecies" make sense to Baha'is, but, for me, they are too convoluted.
Christ came before Christ as well. Matthew 17 gives a lot of great insight into Spiritual Bodies and the Resurection.
Remember Jesus says it all in Revelation 22: 12 “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each one according to what he has done. 13
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” 14 Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and may enter the city by its gates.…"
That passage says we also enter that recognition of Christ through the 'Gates'. Just as the Bab was.
Matthew 7 gives us a good picture what is the true resurrection, that it was going to be in the last days. It also shows that the prophecy is timeless, as this passage is talking in the presence of a distant future. Matthew 7: 9 "As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, “Do not tell anyone about this vision until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead.” 10
The disciples asked Him,
“Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” 11Jesus replied, “Elijah does indeed come, and he will restore all things.…"
The raised from the dead here, to me is saying that no one is to be told until Elijah comes to restore all things.
Christ means "The Anointed One". That is the key, Christ is who God chooses to Anoint and they are all Christ, the first and the last. You can see that Jesus was talking the same Truths as Baha'ullah in a language yet to be understood.
