Jesus disciples had asked, Matthew 24:3, ". . . what
shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"
Among the things Jesus told them, Matthew 24:29, ". . .
the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:
And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."
Sorry to say for all those Christians who are still waiting for the same man Jesus to return, but all those prophecies were fulfilled before Baha'u'llah appeared, and then He appeared with power and great glory despite the clouds of men's ignorance just as the verse says.
Who is the Son of man who will come in the clouds of heaven?
Rev 6:12-13 “And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal, and, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood. And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.”
Matthew 24:29-30 “Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.”
Mark 13:24-26”But in those days, after that tribulation, the sun shall be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, And the stars of heaven shall fall, and the powers that are in heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
The signs of
Revelation that would appear in succession, leading up to the day of the
return of Christ were, in order:
1. The great earthquake
2. The darkening of the sun and the moon.
3. The falling of the stars from the heavens.
The
Books of Isaiah, Joel, Daniel, Zechariah, and the
New Testament of Christ Himself, had all foretold that these things would take place. Following these events, the ‘great and dreadful’ day of the Lord would appear, and then the Messiah would come, bringing the end of the world.
Some Bible scholars felt that all of these events mentioned in
Revelation would take place in one great upheaval, and that the world as we know it would pass away forever. Most of them, however, felt that these three events would take place successively, each one in turn heralding a closer approach of the footsteps of the Messiah, until,
shortly after the last of the three, the star-fall, He would appear.....
“As we look, we find the events recorded (in
Revelation), following on in the order predicted.”
(Our Day in the Light of Prophecy, Spicer, p. 77.) These events which he listed were as follows:
1. The Lisbon earthquake, 1755.
1755 Lisbon earthquake
2. The Dark Day, 1780.
New England's Dark Day
3. The Falling Stars, 1833.
The Falling of the Stars
It is interesting to note that the great star-fall came on the night of 12 November, which is the birthday of Bahá’u’lláh.
Excerpts from:
http://bahai-library.com/pdf/s/sears_thief_night.pdf
Jesus warned, Matthew 24:4-5, "Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many."
Jesus said that there would be many deceivers because he knew there would be many who would come in His name claiming to be Christ, but Baha'u'llah did not claim to be Christ, He came in His own name, a new name, just as it says in Revelation 2:17 and Revelation 3:12 .
Also, it is illogical to say that because Jesus warned that there would be many false prophets that means there would never be any true prophets. That would be like saying that because there are many junky cars in a junkyard that there can be no nice cars in the car lot down the street. It is illogical.
Besides that, if there were not going to be ANY MORE prophets after Jesus, why did Jesus say the following?
Matthew 7:15-20 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
Those of us who know God through having Christ (Romans 8:9) know, "but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is." -- 1 John 3:2.
The problem is that Jesus never promised to return to earth, Jesus said that His work was finished here and he would no longer be in the world.
John 14:19 Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
John 17:4 I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
John 17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
You cannot deny these verses without calling the Bible into question... If you deny those verses how can you say that any other verses you cite are accurate? That would be illogical.
