The equivalent in the Bahai Faith would be Baha'u'llah writing :
Strange and astonishing things exist in the earth but they are hidden from the minds and the understanding of men. These things are capable of changing the whole atmosphere of the earth and their contamination would prove lethal.
(Tablets of Baha'u'llah, p. 69)
and some Bahais saying, he is talking about atomic energy, which in his day was not known to science. Maybe. Or perhaps it is oil, and its use leading to global warming. Or perhaps it was nothing specific, just a general observation of nature's potential, and humans' tendency to misuse whatever it discovers.
There are also historic predictions which have come true, about the general evolution of the world towards unity, and about specifics such as:
O banks of the Rhine! We have seen you covered with gore, inasmuch as the swords of retribution were drawn against you; and you shall have another turn.
(The Kitab-i-Aqdas, p. 53)
That looks like the two world wars, and Germany suffering retribution. The problem with such a "proof" is that the following paragraph speaks of a King in Tehran who will "rule with justice, [and]...turn his face towards, and extend his favours unto, the people of Baha."
You could say that any prediction that hasn't come true, might come true tomorrow. But a king returning to Tehran is not so likely. On the other hand, there are plenty of examples in the Bahai writings where king and kingship are used to refer to national governments of any form, just as we speak of 'the Crown" in English meaning the government and its apparatus.
