That's Prophecy. The signs are inserted into the texts and are timeless.
Every passage of Scripture has many meanings.
That is our quandary, how willing are we to explore all the wisdom contained in just a single letter.
The letters B & E were joined and knit together by God and we have...
I see the quandary that is faced, is in these two quotes John, first noting this
You have no way of knowing if the deception is from your given frame of reference.
I also see it is healthy to share these thoughts, all can help us, if we are opening our heart to God, that we may pray, "God's...
I would offer that is the purpose of Faith, that is to be one in mind, with God, which is one with Christ, the Holy Spirit, the process of being born again.
The Quandary faced John, is truth is relative to our nature and nurture and our choice as to the possible source/sources of the Holy...
I offer my understanding, from what I have read in the Baha'i Writings as well, so that is why we will respond to this with seeming differences, we both have different frames of references.
I like it that no person is wrong, working h from their frames of reference. I see Christ was given by...
Verse 24 could have interesting implications.
I see 4 Manifestations have given Messages since this prophecy and could be reflected in the verse.
"...Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished and rose up in haste. He declared to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?”...
America will have a great future, it will suffer greatly to establish that future, it has been the default peace keeper.
There is much promised in the Baha'i Writings for America, where the banner of international peace was established.

I see you have a problem with predudice by even starting "Israel zionism".
Islam has had ample opportunity for centuries to be at peace with the Jews and has failed to do so.
Islam also had ample opportunity to embrace Baha'u'llah and has failed to do so.
Baha'u'llah has foretold of the fall...
That is a great misunderstanding of that prophecy. @Trailblazer gave you some thoughts, I have other thoughts to add, but sorry out of time, work calls.

The plan has not failed, mankind has not yet bombed each other enough to know they need to pick up the plan and run with it.
Hang on, it appears we are getting close to when we will need to make better choices.

The issue is, life is an effort, to make and keep peace, will take great effort.
It takes effort to live the virtues over reverting to animal instincts.
We are now breaching the spiritual side on man.

Good question. I beleive we have been given free will in this life to make choices. We can choose eternal life or we can choose death in remaining ignorant of what we really are.
This is where it is tricky, God knows all our choices and God's plan includes them all. That is why God sends...
Unfortunately, you are not aware of what I am thinking, or ot could be you are very fortunate you do not know. ;)
Baha'u'llah gave us quite an interesting vision of who we are.
"Likewise, reflect upon the perfection of man’s creation, and that all these planes and states are folded up and...
Says a fleeting speck of nothing dust in a minute speck of time, in an infinite creation, with incalculable number of universes.
Go for it you have all the power of nothing and 100% subservient to your ultimate fate.
How's That?
