The Lies Contained in 'The Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh' by Adib Taherzadeh

The Book The Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh, by Adib Taherzadeh, should be entitled: 'The Broken Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh'.  Nothing about it pertains to the actual Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh.  Taherzadeh relates the history of various Covenant-breakers in the first half of the book.  They fall into two categories: some enemies of the Faith wanted to replace the successors of Bahá'u'lláh, the appointed Interpreters, with themselves and others wanted to replace the Head of the Faith with the Universal House of Justice.  The second half attempts to justify the great violation of 1957 where both varieties of Covenant-breakers were satisfied.  The Hands of the Cause replaced the institution of the Guardianship with themselves. They registered themselves as 'Guardians' with the Israeli government (Israeli Government Year-book (1962-63), Jerusalem: Published by the Government Printer.)  Bahá'u'lláh warned us of the usurpers who would take the place of guardians. The enemies who wanted to eliminate the Lesser Covenant completely with the Universal House of Justice were also satisfied with the illegal election of that fraudulent body in 1963.  Both types of evil-doers were satisfied with this diabolical solution for the destruction of God's promised Kingdom on earth.  A truthful book about the Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh would explain how the Greater Covenant is the Promise that God will continue to send another Manifestation of Himself to humanity.  The Manifestations interpret the Logos/Thought of God/Holy Spirit so people may understand the Will of God through His Teachings. If the Greater Covenant is the Promise of an individual to teach and guide the world, logic dictates that the Lesser Covenant is the Promise of an individual to teach and guide the world.  We know this is the case because the Lesser Covenant originated in the book of Psalms, chapter 89, where God promises His Beloved, David, that his throne would endure forever.  In the Bahá'í age the Lesser Covenant is represented by the institution of the Guardianship, the new title for the servant king of His Kingdom.  According to the sacred Will and Testament of 'Abdu'l-Bahá which, along with the Kitáb-i-Aqdas of Bahá'u'lláh is the charter for the Kingdom of God, the guardian is the sign of God on earth. The usurpers of the Faith of Bahá'u'lláh deliberately ignore the prophecies in the Old and New Testament, and in the Bahá'í library, which clearly indicate that the appointed heir to the throne of David will leave the family bloodline and be occupied with gentiles.  They use the excuse that since Shoghi Effendi had no son, the institution of the Guardianship has ended.  Because individuals fail to study the Writings as they are commanded to do, they believe the lie told by their leaders and follow them into violation of the Covenant through the denial of the appointed Interpreter to his position as the successor to Bahá'u'lláh, 'Abdu'l-Bahá, and Shoghi Effendi at Head of the Faith and the Universal House of Justice.  George Townshend published a book of quotes from scripture entitled, The Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh (A Compilation) in 1950.  After the 'Bahá'í world' followed the Hands into violation of the Covenant, by rejecting the second Guardian and electing the illegitimate 'universal house of justice', the usurpers published an altered version of the book in 1968.  In 1988 the book was published as a pamphlet and has since quietly gone out of print.  Every year that passes the apostate, captured, Bahá'í Faith, is driven further from the actual, simple, beautiful, authentic, Covenant.  God keeps His Promises and does not 'change His Mind', as stated by the Covenant-breaking Hands, regarding the Lesser Covenant which He's kept for 3,000 years, His ancient Promise to David and his heirs.  Approximately 75% of the Will and Testament pertains to the subject of obedience to the Covenant, the sign of God on earth, the appointed Interpreter.  There are explicit warnings to avoid those who disobey or reject the appointed Interpreter.  They carry a spiritual disease which spreads from one unstudious mind to the next through association. There is an injunction that everyone, including the members of the Houses of Justice and the Hands must obey and serve the guardian and to do otherwise is to disobey God. We are warned to beware of those who use 'unity' as an excuse to fool others into violation. The Revelation of Bahá'u'lláh is the Plan for the Kingdom of God on earth, the fulfillment of the Greatest Covenant: the Promised age of the Prince of Peace.   It is to be on earth as it is in heaven.  In heaven there is One God seated on One Throne.  This is the system intended by God for planet earth: one king seated on one throne representing the sign of God on earth as the appointed Interpreter of the Word, God's Law for His people. The Bahá'í mutineers have destroyed the World Order revealed by Bahá'u'lláh and have created an oligarchy built on a mountain of lies. We are all created to be servants of God.  The guardian is the chief servant-leader following the example of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, the Servant of Bahá'u'llah.  Basic logic dictates that the spiritual Kingdom of God requires a spiritual king.  It is for this reason that the appointment of the successors of Bahá'u'lláh, the Interpreters, is no longer strictly hereditary. In His Will 'Abdu'l-Bahá clearly states the Law of God is to appoint 'another branch' if the guardian's offspring lack a spiritual nature.  This instruction also appears in His Last Tablet to America.  Failure to comprehend this Teaching is to disobey the Law of the Covenant. Taherzadeh's attempt at explaining away Shoghi Effendi's clear interpretations while describing a nebulous 'covenant' invented to replace the authentic Covenant of God should be considered a spiritual crime.  If the Hands had not lied to the ignorant Bahá'ís by stating that the Ten Year Plan of Shoghi Effendi was followed, people like Taherzadeh could be taken before the Bahá'í Court intended in the Ten Year Plan.  Because the usurpers of God's Kingdom knew they were committing a crime, the last thing they wanted to do is build a court in which they could be called to justice.  Instead they lied to the people and failed to build the Bahá'í court in Israel or in the other countries named in the Plan. The Bahá'ís were unaware of the fact that the Ten, Seven, Six, and Two Year Plans of Shoghi Effendi were to carry out 'Abdu'l-Bahá's Tablets of the Divine Plan, the instructions each and every Bahá'í was to follow to form the actual Kingdom of God on earth.  Through their disobedience to the command to study, think independently, and to detach from self they FAILED. They handed over the keys to the Kingdom to the enemies within the Faith about whom Shoghi Effendi warned shortly before his passing.  The people wanted their plan and not God's Plan.  Most critically, the Kingdom did not live in their hearts which allowed the criminals to destroy the Plan of God.
