next Prophet=+1,000 solar or lunar years?

From the Kitáb-i-Aqdas we know that the next Manifestation will come in 1,000 years or more, computing from the mystic revelatory experience of Bahá’u’lláh had in the Black Pit of Teheran (1852 AD / 1269 AH).

In the Note # 62 of the Kitáb-i-Aqdas is this:

The Dispensation of Baha'u'llah will last until the coming of the next Manifestation of God, Whose advent will not take place before at least "a full thousand years" will have elapsed. Baha'u'llah cautions against ascribing to "this verse" anything other than its "obvious meaning", and in one of His Tablets, He specifies that "each year" of this thousand year period consists of "twelve months according to the Qur'an, and of nineteen months of nineteen days each, according to the Bayan".

The intimation of His Revelation to Baha'u'llah in the Siyah-Chal of Tihran, in October 1852, marks the birth of His Prophetic Mission and hence the commencement of the one thousand years or more that must elapse before the appearance of the next Manifestation of God.

 

I would like to know your thoughts about "twelve months according to the Qur'an, and of nineteen months of nineteen days each, according to the Bayan", since the months and years have different numbers of days, this would result in different dates from 1852 AD to 1,000 years.

 

Thanks,

 

Hasan
