The Great War
Both Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha on many occasions foretold with surprising accuracy the coming of the Great War of 1914 - 1918. At Sacramento, California, on October 26, 1912, 'Abdu'l-Baha said: - "The European continent is like an arsenal, a storehouse of explosives ready for ignition, and one spark will set the whole of Europe aflame, particularly at this time when the Balkan question is before the world." (154:6)
