Whoso layeth claim to a Revelation direct from God, ere the
expiration of a full thousand years, such a man is assuredly a lying impostor.
We pray God that He may graciously assist him to retract and repudiate such
claim. Should he repent, God will, no doubt, forgive him. If, however, he
persisteth in his error, God will, assuredly, send down one who will deal
mercilessly with him. Terrible, indeed, is God in punishing! Whosoever
interpreteth this verse otherwise than its obvious meaning is deprived of the
Spirit of God and of His mercy which encompasseth all created things. Fear God,
and follow not your idle fancies. Nay, rather follow the bidding of your Lord,
the Almighty, the All-Wise. - Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of
Baha’u’llah’)
