Whoso layeth claim to a Revelation direct from God, ere the expiration of a full thousand years, such a man is assuredly a lying impostor.
(Baha'u'llah: The Kitab-i-Aqdas, Page: 32)


I just wanted to note something I only recently noticed about the wording of this sentence. What I refer to is the words "a Revelation direct from God." This sentence surely had to be worded this way, as 'Abdu'l-Baha did Reveal, but His Revelation was from Baha'u'llah, not God directly. Hence the importance of the wording, as otherwise 'Abdu'l-Baha's authority would be refuted by the text of the Aqdas. 'Abdu'l-Baha did lay claim to a Revelation, but not from God directly.

Regards,

David
