The True Station of Christ, Part Five

So, "I go, and another will come." Inconceivable there should be another perfect mirror, another bearing the Message of God, another Messenger of God. Another human with a divine station, one who makes the qualities and attributes of God visible and understandable to the rest of us, who makes the light and truth of God manifest. A Manifestation of God. Inconceivable. But, there it is.

"I go, and another will come." "He will come with a new name." Absolutely incontrovertable. [If only I could spell!] Irrefutable. Christ Himself said it.

Suppose, therefore, that during the eons of human history, revealed in different ages, there is not just one Christ, one perfect Mirror, but several. Suppose, as Baha'u'llah put it in "The Book of Certitude, [copyright Baha'i Publishing Trust"]:

"Inasmuch as these Birds of the Celestial Throne are all sent down from the heaven of the Will of God, and as they all arise to proclaim His irresistible Faith, they therefore are regarded as one soul and the same person. For they all drink from the one Cup of the love of God, and all partake of the fruit of the same Tree of Oneness. These Manifestations of God have each a twofold station. One is the station of pure abstraction and essential unity. In this respect, if thou calleth them all by one name, and dost ascribe to them the same attribute, thou hast not erred from the truth . . for they one and all summon the people of the earth to acknowledge the Unity of God . . . "

"If thou wilt observe with discriminating eyes, thou wilt behold them all abiding in the same tabernacle, soaring in the same heaven, seated upon the same throne, uttering the same speech, and proclaiming the same Faith. Such is the unity of those Essences of being, those Luminaries of infinite and immeasurable splendour. [ibid.]"

Many Mirrors. One Light. One Way. One Truth. One Life. One God, and many Manifestations.
