I've discussed some of those prophecies with Baha'is and all of them had issues. Believable to Baha'is? Of course. But too vague and too manipulated to convince some of us. Like Daniel's
prophecies about the 1290 and 1335 days.
In addition, Baha'is have applied the day-year principle to the two prophecies at the end of the last chapter of
Daniel concerning the 1,290 days (Dan 12:11) and the 1,335 days (Dan 12:12).
[9] The 1,290 days is understood as a reference to the 1,290 years from the open declaration of Muhammad to the open declaration of Bahá’u’lláh. The 1,335 days is understood to be a reference to the firm establishment of Islam in 628 AD to the firm establishment of the Baha'i Faith (the election of its Universal House of Justice) in 1963 AD.
My problem with these is that they ignore the part in the verse where is says...
Daniel 12:11 “From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 12 Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.
What does the declaration of Muhammad and the establishment of Islam have to do with the daily sacrifice and the setting up of the abomination? Baha'is ignore it or explain it away. It works for them, but to me, it's manipulating the verse to make it mean what Baha'is want it to mean. Right there is enough to make me question the whole of the Baha'i Faith. Sorry, you may be doing many great things. Maybe making the world better, but, to me, this is not fulfilling a prophecy. It is making up a starting time and coming up with a fabricated "fulfillment".
And do religions have to be true to do good things? I don't think so. And I use the Mormons as an example. Who other than Mormons believe in the Book of Mormon? Joseph Smith looked at some golden plates and translated them? That the angel Moroni spoke with him? I don't believe any of it. Yet, the religion is doing well. Has lots of great people. So, is the Baha'i Faith "The Truth"? I have some doubts about that. But is the Baha'i Faith changing people for the better? I think it is. But so are most all religions. Even religions with beliefs that most of us would say aren't true.
