BICENTENARY CELEBRATION OF THE 200th BIRTHDAY OF THE BAB AT RIO VISTA IN PEORIA

 The Bab ("bahb") was the forerunner to the Baha'i Faith. He was born in Iran in 1819. He proclaimed His mission in 1844 and was martyred in 1850. The Báb’s mission was to prepare humanity for the coming of an age of transformation beyond anything the generation that heard Him would be able to understand. Their duty was to purify their hearts so that they could recognize the One for Whom the whole world was waiting and serve the establishment of the Kingdom of God. He announced the imminent advent of  “Him whom God shall make manifest,” who would fulfill the prophecies of past religions and usher in a new global era of peace and unity. And that of course was Baha'u'llah.


Peoria celebrated the 200th birthday of the Bab (which means 'the Gate')
 at Rio Vista Recreational Center in Peoria, AZ on Sunday, October 27, 2019.

OF JESUS CHRIST

  Of Jesus Christ, Baha’u’llah wrote: Know thou that when the Son of Man yielded up His breath to God, the  whole creation wept with a great weeping . By sacrificing Himself, however, a fresh capacity was infused into all created things. Its evidences, as witnessed in all the peoples of the earth, are now manifest before thee. The deepest wisdom which the sages have uttered, the profoundest learning which any mind hath unfolded, the arts which the ablest hands have produced, the influence exerted by the most potent of rulers, are but manifestations of the quickening power released by His transcendent, His all-pervasive, and resplendent Spirit. We testify that when He came into the world, He shed the splendor of His glory upon all created things. Through Him the leper recovered from the leprosy of perversity and ignorance. Through Him, the unchaste and wayward were healed. Through His power, born of Almighty God, the eyes of the blind were opened, and the soul of the sinner sanctified…
