The Baha'i Studies Listserv Sorry. I may be a bear of very little brain, but the notion that Shoghi Effendi would write a long epistle in English, use the English word "century" twenty-five times, twenty-one of which refer to a conventional hundred-year span, and then without warning or comment, suddenly use the same word four times in a manner which is highly irregular in English and which will predictably implant a gross misconception in the minds of the mass of English-speaking clods to whom he is writing, and then do nothing during the remainder of his life to correct that misconception, is quite a lot of honey for this pooh to swallow in one gulp. I am much more comfortable saying Shoghi Effendi participated in a prediction such as Noah is said to participate in according to Baha'u'llah in Kitab-i-Iqan pp. 7-9.
But I have no knowledge of Persian or Arabic, only my opinion.
