Prophecies are not a good guide to determine if Jesus has returned since they can be interpreted a number of ways. The best way is "by his fruits" as Jesus says.Yes, wrong expectations can become veils, but that does Not mean 'will become' veils
Since God has our best interests at heart we are forewarned so that we can be forearmed - 1st Thess. 5:2-3
When the powers in charge are saying, " Peace and Security....." <- those Rosy words can lead people to put on Rose-Colored glasses and see a Primrose Path but instead of peace those words will prove to be the precursor to the coming great tribulation of Revelation 7:14
then, Jesus will take the action described at both Isaiah 11:3-4 & Rev. 19:14-15 to rid the Earth of wickedness
I will offer what I see in that passage, as there are no official Baha'i interpretations of these verses.19 Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to wage war against the rider on the horse and his army. 20 But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur. 21 The rest were killed with the sword coming out of the mouth of the rider on the horse, and all the birds gorged themselves on their flesh.
I would offer the starting date of AD1844 or AH1260 as the starting year.I'm not one of them. It's happening real time as we speak and has been for quite a while now.
If we were to look at the good and bad fruit of Christianity, would we think it was a true religion of God, or a false religion of people?Prophecies are not a good guide to determine if Jesus has returned since they can be interpreted a number of ways. The best way is "by his fruits" as Jesus says.
Well, thanks for giving your thoughts and interpretations. But for me nothing is fulfilled until peace is established. Maybe it's through the teachings of Baha'u'llah. Maybe it's through Jesus coming back. But, going by what has happened in the past with new religions,, things just keep going with some good and bad from the new religion.I will offer what I see in that passage, as there are no official Baha'i interpretations of these verses.
The Beast is Islam that continued to rule Iran in the time of Baha’u’llah. The Kings of the earth are mentioned and Baha'u'llah adresses them one and all, the army of the beast and the Kings are the wayward and ungodly who fight against the Revelation of Baha’u’llah. The rider of the horse is Baha’u’llah and his army are the Baha'is.
The captured Beast is Islam pursuing their own Interpretation of the Quran and the False Prophet could be the Anti Christ of the Baha'i Revelation, Baha’u’llah's half brother, or it could be Islam itself that became and acted as the Beast.
I would have to research and consider what the Lake of Sulfer may be about, but given the smell, it may be the decay of the Message of Islam and the burning is that of self interpretation.
The rest being killed by the Sword, is humanity being Judged by the New Messages that cuts the old from the new, but as to the birds, I have no thoughts provoked by this passage. It could be carrion that relish in some way the dead bodies, maybe self serving people that feed someway on the misery.

This is the true prayer that Jesus taught his disciples:Pray to God as Jesus instructed: " Our Father which art in Heaven............."
Peace for me is a long way away. It's a process, and there is no definite year when peace arrives.Well, thanks for giving your thoughts and interpretations. But for me nothing is fulfilled until peace is established.
Mythological tales are just that... mythological tales.Living longer than the people named in chapter 5 of Genesis _________
Longer than the man named at Genesis 5:27 __________
I was believe in Jesus(pbuh) will return as most of Muslims, after I heard to Adnan Ibrahim explain that Jesus(pbuh) won't return,and the fake Messaih is just fiction,I change my mind.This question is for non-believers of the Christian faith. All Christians believe that Christ will return. When you hear them say this what do you think it really means?
Return with a new heaven and Earth for all of mankind.I was believe in Jesus(pbuh) will return as most of Muslims, after I heard to Adnan Ibrahim explain that Jesus(pbuh) won't return,and the fake Messaih is just fiction,I change my mind.
Why He should return? return to who ?
That's judgment day according to Islam view.Return with a new heaven and Earth for all of mankind.
Judgement day can’t happen without Jesus though imoThat's judgment day according to Islam view.
We all back to live to be judged for our deeds in this life.
placed [open], and you will see the criminals fearful of that within it, and they will say, "Oh, woe to us! What is this book that leaves nothing small or great except that it has enumerated it?" And they will find what they did present [before them]. And your Lord does injustice to no one.
18:49 Qur'an.
One can meditate as to why The Bab and Baha'u'llah appeared in the heart of Islam.Judgement day can’t happen without Jesus though imo

That supplies the context of my reply.One can meditate as to why The Bab and Baha'u'llah appeared in the heart of Islam.
Malachi 3:1“I will send my messenger, who will prepare the way before me. Then suddenly the Lord you are seeking will come to his temple; the messenger of the covenant, whom you desire, will come,” says the Lord Almighty.
The Bab was the Gate that appeared in Tehran, the Messenger that orepared the way for Baha'u'llah and Baha'u'llah was the Messenger of the Covernant.
To Islam they were the Mahdi and Christ
To Christians they were Elijah and The return of Christ.
We are now in Judgement against those given Messages, that were to inform us God is One, humanity is One, all the Religions are One and this is the Promised 'Day of God', where swords will be changed into plowshares and we will learn war no more.

New heaven and new earth can be seen as the New Message (Word) and the new Laws.Return with a new heaven and Earth for all of mankind.
Since it's we believed and that we created by God, sure there will be judgment day.New heaven and new earth can be seen as the New Message (Word) and the new Laws.

We are in the midst of the punishment that humanity has brought upon its own selves, we are fast approaching a retributive calamity, that is foretold and forewarned, in the Bible, in the Quran and the Baha'i Writings.Since it's we believed and that we created by God, sure there will be judgment day.
I hope we will escape His punishment and gain His paradise, by His mercy not just our deeda
