At the Second Coming, the Faith of Baha'u'llah - despite the assaults which the world has continually launched against it, despite any attempt from within or without to break it apart - the Faith of Baha'u'llah has emerged, unlike the Faith of Christ at His First Coming, with its countless divisions and conflicts, single and united. This is one of the blessings of this age, and is a direct result of Baha'u'llah's mission to unite the world. The Baha'i Faith now represents, and is increasingly recognized as, the most diverse unified body of people on the planet (103:1)

The Great Being saith: O ye children of men! The fundamental purpose animating the Faith of God and His Religion is to safeguard the interests and promote the unity of the human race, and to foster the spirit of love and fellowship amongst men. Suffer it not to become a source of dissension and discord, of hate and enmity. This is the straight Path, the fixed and immovable foundation. Whatsoever is raised on this foundation, the changes and chances of the world can never impair its strength, nor will the revolution of countless centuries undermine its structure. Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 215 (103:2)

At the Second Coming of Christ in the Person of Baha'u'llah, His Faith will encompass the entire planet and will bestow upon all peoples the gift of everlasting life and spiritual joy. The Promised Divine Order, with its "government" destined to rest upon His "shoulder", will end the age of war, ushering in a permanent peace that will gather together all nations and peoples into the brotherhood intended by God from the beginning of time for humanity (103:3)

Of the Second Coming of Christ in the Person of Baha'u'llah Isaiah wrote: (103:4)

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace (103:5)

Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. Isaiah 9:6-7 (103:6)

BAHA'U'LLAH WRITES of HIS APPEARANCE:-
He that was hidden from mortal eyes is come! His all-conquering sovereignty is manifest; His all-encompassing splendor is revealed. Beware lest thou hesitate or halt. Hasten forth and circumambulate the City of God that hath descended from heaven, the celestial Kaaba round which have circled in adoration the favored of God, the pure in heart, and the company of the most exalted angels. Oh, how I long to announce unto every spot on the surface of the earth, and to carry to each one of its cities, the glad-tidings of this Revelation--a Revelation to which the heart of Sinai hath been attracted, and in whose name the Burning Bush is calling: 'Unto God, the Lord of Lords, belong the kingdoms of earth and heaven.' Verily this is the Day in which both land and sea rejoice at this announcement, the Day for which have been laid up those things which God, through a bounty beyond the ken of mortal mind or heart, hath destined for revelation. Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 16 (103:7)
