Will there be another Guardian of the Faith?

"The Báb—may my life be offered up for Him—hath confirmed that the events of the Great Resurrection, which were to take place on the day that is reckoned as “fifty thousand years”, occurred in less than the twinkling of an eye."

Light of the World | Bahá’í Reference Library

So, if God reduced 50,000 years to a moment, God, if He wills, may reduce 1000 years to another time too.



The fifty thousand years is a reference to Quran 70:4


"The angels and the spirit ascend unto him in a Day the measure whereof is (as) fifty thousand years"

Give it a rest. There was nothing there that said that it should be interpreted in it's obvious meaning like what Baha'u'llah said. In my opinion, you have some danger of accepting a descendent of Baha'u'llah as being the Guardian falsely, and becoming a Covenant-breaker. Be sure to be careful if someone makes that claim. Investigate him carefully. I don't want you to break the covenant.

I wouldn't be worried about false prophets. They can never reveal verses of God. I would be more concerned about rejecting the next Manifestation of God.
