I believe the English is ambiguous so one would have to examine the Greek to find the true meaning.
Malachi4:5 I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the LORD
In that verse it does not say that an attitude will be sent.
@Trailblazer quotes the specific request from the Bab.
The 9 years was the time between Revelations given by God, from the public declaration of the Bab in 1844 to the first disciple, to Baha'u'llah given Revelation in prison in 1853.
The 19 years was requested from the Bab, which Baha'u'llah...
Both years are significant, but the nine years fulfills the Bible prophecies.
The Old Testament clearly prophesied Twin Holy messengers that will come in succession, one right after the other.
“Zechariah, speaking of the last days, prophesied of the twin holy souls who would appear, saying...
Nine years later, not nineteen years later.

Yes, the ^above^ is what I was taught in church and in science class the destruction of Earth.
One day I met a man who simply said to me, "I have good news for you" He read me Ecclesiastes 1:4 B. (Psalm 104:5)
I went over to a friend's house whose mother was a Sunday School teacher and had...
There are two aspects as to who Messiah Jesus is. When we study we need to keep this in mind. He is the son of man and he is the Son of God.
One argument often presented by the proponents of Judaism is that God can not be a man.
I can agree with that to some extent except when God is acting in...
I see both the Bab and Baha'u'llah are the return of Christ. There is always someone that prepares the way, as Elijah always comes first.
Matthew 17:11 Jesus replied, “To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things
In this age, there was twin Manifestations and it is foretold a...
Why would the events described in the book of Revelation start and stop in 1844? 1844 was the date of the declaration of the Bab, who cane to announce the coming of Bahaullah. . Baha'u'llah did not receive His revelation until nine years later, in 1853, and Baha'ullah did not declare His...
This prophecy is after the Message of Jesus and the two witnesses are Muhammad and Ali. The Message Muhammad brought lasted 1260 years as per that prophecy.
The year AH1260 is the year AD1844. 1844 was the year that the Gate opened for the Glory of the Lord with the declaration of the Bab (Name...
Yeshua and John the Baptist appeared the first time as witnesses (Rev 11:3) who will witness for 3 1/2 year (1260 days), to either restore the hearts of the fathers to their children or smite the land with a curse (Malachi4:6). Apparently, the latter circumstance won out. Subsequently, he was...
So, it happened twice? Once for Jesus, and once for Baha'u'llah. I heard a Baha'i claim that a forerunner comes for all manifestations. Is that an official teaching of the Baha'i Faith?
What does this verse mean to you?
“To be sure, Elijah comes and will restore all things." Matthew 17
“Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes." Malachi4:5
when this was to happen?
I don't believe that. Why would I? The argument for resurrection is that some people say that some other people saw Jesus when he was supposedly dead, and that when a rock was rolled away, there was no body to be seen. There would need to be a suspension f the laws of nature to revivify a body...
According to you, the Jews, should like their brethren, Israel, eat the flesh and blood of an innocent man, instead of killing innocent children, as did Israel, all while sacrificing to their "Lord", which is a translation of Baal/Bel, and is done by modern women, who on cue, eat the body and...
As a Buddhist, I can share with you some perspectives on the concept of reincarnation. It is important to note that proving reincarnation is a deeply personal and subjective experience, and it may not be possible to provide concrete scientific evidence for it. However, Buddhism offers insights...
I think better translation is, "born anew". It does not mean one is incarnated, born into a new body.
“Most certainly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can’t enter into God’s Kingdom. That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit...
Reincarnation arose in northern India between the years 1000 and 600 BC, just at the same time that prophet David and his descendants ruled Israel up until the fall of Jerusalem. The first reference to reincarnation idea is at least 2,600 years old. It appears in the sacred scriptures of...
Hi @InChrist . Good points you posted. I will address...
I disagree of course. :)
The above verse is almost always misinterpreted with a bias towards making it sound like everyone 'has to die' and that it is 'only one time'.
Remember, there is a Second Death as well...

I think there is plenty in the biblical scriptures which refute reincarnation…
“The concept of reincarnation, in any of its forms, is completely without foundation in the Bible. The truth is that we die once and then face judgment (Hebrews 9:27). The Bible never even remotely suggests that...
