The forged prophet of Baha’ism says about the leaders’ science: “… their science, power, kingdom and beauty and emergence have been originated from God’s science, power, kingdom, beauty and emergence, they are the stores for the divine sciences and the sources of the endless blessing.[1]”
While the Baha’ism leaders’ texts have some literary mistakes which had to be corrected by the Baha’ism leaders; as one of these confession says: “Other handwriting copies refer to 1280 and the subsequent years. There are several differences between the current and the previous copies.[2]”
Consequently, Vance Salisbury has mentioned several various cases of such alternations in an article called “the Critical investigation of the Baha’ism texts in the 20th century. He writes about the censoring of the date of Abdul Baha’s prediction about the fulfillment of public peace and the establishment of the Baha’i kingdom in 1957:
“Maybe, the most important alternation in the book Bahaullah and the new era has been occurred on page 212 edited in 1923 A.D. This part has mentioned the Baha’ism prediction concerning the arrival of the divine kingdom. In this section, Esselment narrates Abdul Baha’s interpretation about the last two verses of Daniel’s book in the Bible. Abdul Baha claims: Daniel has mentioned 1335 day that means 1335 solar years after the holy prophet Muhammad ‘s (P.H.) departure to Medina in 622 A.D. which equals to 1957 A.D. when he is asked “What are we waiting for? He answers: The general peace will be completely established. An international language will be expanded. Misunderstanding will be removed. The Baha’i faith will be spread and the unity of the human world will be establish set up. It will be a splendid period! The next edition after Esselment’s death, his words were deviated: “The fulfillment time of Daniel prophethood was counted from the beginning of the Islamic Hijrat (departure)”. This statement was deviated. Then, one of Abdul Baha’s tablet is mentioned which says:
"لان بذلک التاریخ ینقضی قرن من طلوع شمس الحقیقه"
“Because according to that date one century will be passed from the rise of the reality sun.”
Esselment wrote that Abdul Baha has clearly said this prediction should be counted since 622 A.D. and special conditions will exist in 1957 when this issue happens. When the Baha’i prediction wasn’t fulfilled, these statements were replaced by vague ones which are existent in the book now.[3]”
