The Current 'Bahá'í' Administration is an Anti-Christ Institution

 

The Hands created an anti-Christ organization when they broke the Covenant by discarding the Institution of the Guardianship.

 

The title ‘Christ’ is synonymous with the word ‘Messiah’.  The word Christ is Greek and Messiah is Hebrew.  Both terms refer to the anointed son of David.  Zechariah 4:11-14 prophesies the coming of two anointed sons of David who will serve the Lord.  Jesus changes a fisherman’s name from Simon to Peter because he accurately identifies Jesus as the awaited Christ.  The name Peter means ‘rock’ which is a symbol used in the New Testament to signify the strength of the church built on logical proofs of fulfilled prophecies; the foundation of humanity’s faith in God.  Rational proofs allow individuals to enjoy a profound level of certitude in their spiritual beliefs. 

 

Unfortunately, while Jesus was alive, nobody understood that He was the Christ prophesied to suffer and die in Isaiah 53.  The disciples, the closest companions of Jesus, thought that He fulfilled the prophecies for the Christ destined to redeem Israel (Luke 24:21).  The prophesies pertaining to the triumphant king who would restore the captive Israel, found in Psalms 89 and Isaiah 9, do not apply to Jesus.  It is likely that the prophesies of the Christ who would come as the sacrifice to prepare for the future king were overlooked or forgotten.  Jesus sacrificed His life after he announced the Good News of the coming Kingdom of God on earth.

 

Jesus taught one prayer: “Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven.  Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us.  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.” (Matthew 6:9-13). Revelation 11:15 informs us that the future Kingdom will be, “The Kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ. He will reign forever and ever.”

 

Without a king, there is no Kingdom.  Bahá’u’lláh, in His Proclamation (p. 89), informs us that He rules from the throne of David which indicates that He fulfills the prophecies for the second Christ.  The kings of Israel, the heirs of David’s throne, were dragged into captivity and remained there until the advent of Bahá’u’lláh.  ‘Abdu’l-Bahá intentionally references the conversion of the exiled Davidic monarch to Islam in The Secrets of a Divine Civilization (p.36).  It is no coincidence that Mulla Husayn travelled directly to Tehran and inquired as to whether there was a renowned member of “that illustrious house?” when sent by the Báb to search for Bahá’u’lláh.  (Nabil. The Dawn Breakers, pp. 104-105).

 

Bahá’u’lláh was the Second Christ.  He returned to Israel as the prophesied King of Kings.  Bahá’u’lláh Revealed a set of spiritual Laws and the form of Government chosen by God: His Kingdom on earth.  With the advent of Bahá’u’lláh, the Kingdom came into existence in the spiritual plane.  In the material world, the line of His successors was established beginning with His son, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá.  The Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, is one of the documents that serves as the charter for the Kingdom of God (Shoghi Effendi.  The World Order of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 144).  ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, in this crucial document, appoints His heir, Shoghi Effendi, and creates the Institution of the Guardianship which is the line of His successors, the new title for the Davidic kings who are to reign forever (Revelation 11:15, Psalms 89).

 

The Guardians are the Interpreters of the Word of God.  The Greater Covenant is the Promise that there will always be a Manifestation of God to interpret the Logos, or the Thought of God, to humanity.  The Lesser Covenant is symbolized by the Guardian, the ‘sign of God’ who interprets the Word of God to his fellow servants of God.  The Guardian is also the Head of the Universal House of Justice, individuals elected to legislate on matters not Revealed by Bahá’u’lláh.  As the President of this House, the Guardian defines its sphere of legislation. 

 

“Divorced from the Institution of the Guardianship, the World Order of Bahá’u’lláh would be mutilated,” Shoghi Effendi.  (The World Order of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 153).  When Shoghi Effendi died suddenly in 1957, his assistants, the Hands of the Cause of God, eliminated the Institution of the Guardianship.  The Guardian is the sign of God on earth as the Interpreter of the Word.  The Guardian is the servant-king operating under a new name through whom God is to reign forever.  The Hands have two functions: to teach the Faith and to protect the Faith from those who would violate the Covenant and seek to harm God’s Plan.  The protectors became the destroyers. 

 

The Hands decided to interpret the Word of God as they seized control of the Bahá’í Faith.  They eliminated the Institution of the Guardianship under the pretext that Shoghi Effendi, the first Guardian, had no son and heir.  The Bahá’í world did not understand the mutiny committed by the Hands because their faith was not built on the solid rock of understanding the proofs.  They disobeyed the command of Bahá’u’lláh, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, and Shoghi Effendi to independently investigate the truth through the study of the teachings.  In The Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, (p. 62), Bahá’u’lláh states that His Revelation is ‘bewildering and challenging’.  This means that understanding God’s Plan for today requires a great deal of study and contemplation. 

 

Genesis 49:10 informs us that when Bahá’u’lláh arrives, the ruling scepter of Israel will leave the bloodline.  The Plan of God requires a spiritual king to interpret His Word in His Kingdom.  The Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá establishes the law of appointment from one Guardian to the next with the essential criteria being the spiritual qualities possessed by the chosen successor.  ‘Abdu’l-Bahá confirms the ancient Genesis prophecy with, ‘the principle of human consanguinity of the Kingdom of God, first in the hearts of men and then upon the earth.’ (Star of the West, Vol. 8, No. 8. p. 95).  The Sacred Writings abound with references to the world of humanity as one family. 

 

The successor to the Institution of the Guardianship chosen by Shoghi Effendi was Charles Mason Remey.  He was not from the bloodline of Shoghi Effendi, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, and Bahá’u’lláh.  Charles Mason Remey was the spiritual heir of Bahá’u’lláh as the obedient servant who remained firm in the Covenant for over 70 years.  Shoghi Effendi appointed Charles Mason Remey to be the President of the Universal House of Justice via cablegram on March 2, 1951.  The President of the Universal House of Justice is the Guardian.  The Hands used authority they did not possess when they eliminated the Institution of the Guardianship in their refusal to recognize Charles Mason Remey as the second Guardian and successor to Shoghi Effendi.  The Bahá’ís of the world rejected Charles Mason Remey, under pressure from the Hands: the Bahá’í mutineers, which forced the second Guardian, Charles Mason Remey, into exile until his passing in 1974. 

 

There were individuals around the world who studied the Writings and understood that Charles Mason Remey was the second Guardian.  There has been an appointed Interpreter serving as the Guardian of the Bahá’í Faith, continually, since the passing of Shoghi Effendi who protect and promote the Covenant.  They passed the test which the Hands and their followers failed.  They hold firmly to the certainty that the Word of God and His promised Kingdom will triumph over this temporary evil.

 

Bahá’u’lláh is the Second Christ.  He came and revealed God’s Kingdom  establishing His line of successors, the designated ‘sign of God’, as the Interpreters of the Word of God.  The Guardians are the servant-kings of Christ’s Kingdom. There can be no Kingdom without a king: the Guardianship.  Bahá’u’lláh revealed the ‘Kingdom of His Christ’ (Revelation 11:15).  To reject the Guardianship is the spirit of anti-Christ.  The Second Christ revealed a system, a World Order, the Kingdom of God on earth.  The line of successors who follow the King of Kings, the long-awaited Christ, are the Guardians. 

 

To deny the spiritual ‘king’ in Christ’s Kingdom is anti-Christ.  The Hands eliminated the Institution of the Guardianship which is anti-Christ.  The illegitimate institution masquerading as the authentic Bahá’í Universal House of Justice is without the Guardian at its head serving as the Interpreter and, as such, is anti-Christ.  The communities of people who follow this usurped and distorted apostate Bahá’í Faith are operating under this anti-Christ spirit.  They fail to study and delegate their thinking to their illegitimate leaders.  They use ‘unity’ as an excuse for their violation, about which ‘Abdu’l-Bahá warns in His Will and Testament as He cautions His followers to avoid violators.  He devotes 75% of this document to denouncing Covenant-breaking and warning that it spreads like a contagious disease.

 

      The rock of Christ is the foundation of the Kingdom of God on earth as revealed by Bahá’u’lláh and is symbolized by the Institution of the Guardianship.  To deny the living Guardian is to possess the spirit of anti-Christ.
