1260 years, Fulfilled Prophecy with Baha'i Faith?

Baha'i Faith Fulfilled the 1260 years prophecy in 2 religions, Islam and Christianity?

In the beginning of the seventh century after Christ, when Jerusalem was conquered, the Holy of Holies was outwardly preserved—that is to say, the house which Solomon built; but outside the Holy of Holies the outer court was taken and given to the Gentiles. “And the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months”—that is to say, the Gentiles shall govern and control Jerusalem forty and two months, signifying twelve hundred and sixty days; and as each day signifies a year, by this reckoning it becomes twelve hundred and sixty years, which is the duration of the cycle of the Qur’án. For in the texts of the Holy Book, each day is a year; as it is said in the fourth chapter of Ezekiel, verse 6: “Thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.”
This prophesies the duration of the Dispensation of Islám when Jerusalem was trodden under foot, which means that it lost its glory—but the Holy of Holies was preserved, guarded and respected—until the year 1260. This twelve hundred and sixty years is a prophecy of the manifestation of the Báb, the “Gate” of Bahá’u’lláh, which took place in the year 1260 of the Hejira of Mu[FONT=Times Ext Roman,Times Ext Roman]ḥ[/FONT]ammad, and as the period of twelve hundred and sixty years has expired, Jerusalem, the Holy City, is now beginning to become prosperous, populous and flourishing. Anyone who saw Jerusalem sixty years ago [i.e. sixty years before Abdulbaha wrote this], and who sees it now, will recognize how populous and flourishing it has become, and how it is again honored.

- Some Answered Questions p.24, Abdulbaha


Now the same 1260 years calculation from Quranic Prophecy:

The Period of Islam

The Qur’an states that the religion of God, that brings a revelation from heaven to earth, returns to God in a thousand years. “From the heaven to the earth He governeth all things: hereafter shall they come up to Him on a day whose length shall be a thousand of such years as ye reckon.” (Adoration – 32:5)

In case of Islam,God governed Islam for 260 years. That is to say, the flow of guidance in Islam, continued till the passing of the 11th Imam.
The 11th Imam lived till 260 years after revelation of Muhammad. 1000 years after that, Islam was to return back to heaven.
1000 + 260=1260 years

Also don't know if you haven't been told but Prophet Muhammad peace and blessings of God be upon him was the final prophet and messenger of God no one who comes after him claims to be a prophet but is considered a liar and devil in islam. The message of prophet Muhammad is the final message until the day of judgement is established. If you need further elaboration let Mr know

Hi Adam9. I am very well aware that Prophet Muhammad was the final Messenger and Prophet untill the Day of Judgement.
But it seems you are not aware that in our view the Day of Judgement already passed, and the promissed ones (The Mahdi and Return of Christ) already appeared as the Bab and Baha'u'llah. So, when you say if after him anyone claims to be a prophet but is considered a liar and devil in islam, in our view is not really as per original teachings of Prophet Muhammad and Quran. In fact in our view, the Idea that after Muhammad there won't be any other Revelation from God is a man-made idea, and is a misunderstanding of certain religious leaders in the past that made different sects of Islam, as well as misinterpretation of Quran and Ahadith.

I have already spend a lot of time discussing this with other Moslems friends on this Forum, and repudiated the claim that Islam is final revelation, so, I suggest first you read my discussions with them to save time, and then If you need farther clarification and information I can supply to you. If you couldn't find the threads I discussed with them, let me know, i will give you the link.
Good Luck!

OK thanks just wanted to make sure you were properly informed but you stick to any beliefs that you like. Signs of day of judgment that disprove Bahia faith, imam Mahdi will unite Muslims and rule with Islamic teaching and laws, Jesus son of Marypeace be upon him will decsend and kill antichrist, he peace be upon him will also kill the swine and break the cross and abolish the jiziyah. If Bahia faith is true then why hasn't Jesus peace be upon him returned

Signs of day of judgment that disprove Bahia faith

In our view ALL the signs of the Day of Judgment has come to pass as per Quranic verses and Bible, as well as ALL Authentic Hadithes.

imam Mahdi will unite Muslims and rule with Islamic teaching and laws,
Please quote the Hadith and/or Quran verse.

Jesus son of Marypeace be upon him will decsend and kill antichrist, he peace be upon him will also kill the swine and break the cross and abolish the jiziyah.

I have already discussed this with other Moslems extensively. But just to give you some background about our view regarding Jesus crucifixion. We reject the literal interpretation of Quran verse regarding Jesus was not crucified nor killed . We believe that verse has a spiritual and figurative meaning, and the intention of Quran is to say, the spirit and reality of Christ was not Crucified nor killed (but His physical body was crucified and killed). There are proofs for this, which I had already given to others in this forum, so, I refer you to that.
Likewise His descension from heaven, in our view, is a spiritual reality, not a physical and literal and His spiritual reality already appeared in the person of Baha'u'llah.

Likewise, "Antichrist" in our view is not only a particular person, but it is the false beliefs and any action which is the opposite of true teachings of Christ and other Messengers of God. The spiritual teachings of Baha'u'llah will eventually and gradually kill the antichrist.

killing the swine, is also a figurative saying, in a sense that, the spiritual teachings which are renewed by revelation of Baha'u'llah, will kill the swine (will make disappear the falsehood and uncleanness of sin)


If Bahia faith is true then why hasn't Jesus peace be upon him returned

In our view, He has returned as the person of Baha'u'llah. According to Biblical verses, Christ would return with a new Name of God. This Name in our view is "Baha" which means Glory. Also, according to Islamic Hadithes, God has a 100th Name, the greatest Name, which was Hidden, but there are signs in Hadithes that name is "Baha"
I have already discussed these Hadithes, and gave reference for them in other threads. I can give you the links if you couldn't find them.
Good Luck!
