Who Bahá’u’lláh is

He Who in such dramatic circumstances was made to sustain the overpowering weight of so glorious a Mission was none other than the One Whom posterity will acclaim, and Whom innumerable followers already recognize, as

  • the Judge,
  • the Lawgiver and Redeemer of all mankind, as
  • the Organizer of the entire planet, as
  • the Unifier of the children of men, as
  • the Inaugurator of the long-awaited millennium, as
  • the Originator of a new “Universal Cycle,” as
  • the Establisher of the Most Great Peace, as
  • the Fountain of the Most Great Justice, as
  • the Proclaimer of the coming of age of the entire human race, as
  • the Creator of a new World Order, and as
  • the Inspirer and Founder of a world civilization.

- Shoghi Effendi  (God Passes By, chapter 6)
