…each Manifestation of God hath a distinct individuality, a
definitely prescribed mission, a predestined Revelation, and specially
designated limitations. Each one of them is known by a different name, is
characterized by a special attribute, fulfils a definite Mission, and is
entrusted with a particular Revelation. Even as He saith: “Some of the Apostles
We have caused to excel the others. To some God hath spoken, some He hath
raised and exalted. And to Jesus, Son of Mary, We gave manifest signs, and We
strengthened Him with the Holy Spirit.”
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
