[Baha’u’llah and the New Era by J.E. Esslemont]@TWC D-Link bookBaha’u’llah and the New Era CHAPTER 13: PROPHECIES FULFILLED BY THE BAHA'I MOVEMENT 12/41
xi, 1-12. 'Abdu'l-Baha remarks about this and other prophecies of the Branch:-- One of the great events which is to occur in the day of the manifestation of that incomparable Branch, is the hoisting of the Standard of God among all nations; meaning that all the nations and tribes will come under the shadow of this Divine Banner, which is no other than the Lordly Branch itself, and will become a single nation.
The antagonism of faiths and religions, the hostility of races and peoples, and the national differences, will be eradicated from amongst them.
All will become one religion, one faith, one race, and one single people, and will dwell in one native land, which is the terrestrial globe.
Universal peace and concord will be realised between all the nations, and that incomparable Branch will gather together all Israel: signifying that in this cycle Israel will be gathered in the Holy Land, and that the Jewish people who are scattered to the East and West, South and North, will be assembled together. Now see: these events did not take place in the Christian cycle, for the nations did not come under the One Standard which is the Divine Branch.
But in this cycle of the Lord of Hosts all the nations and people will enter under the shadow of this Flag.
