It is the inherent nature of things on this earth to change, thus we see around us the change of the seasons. Every spring is followed by a summer and every autumn brings a winter - every day a night and every evening a morning. There is a sequence in all things. (10:4) Thus when hatred and animosity, fighting, slaughtering, and great coldness of heart were governing this world, and darkness had overcome the nations, Baha'u'llah, like a bright star, rose from the horizon of Persia and shone with the great Light of Guidance, giving heavenly radiance and establishing the new Teaching. (10:5) He declared the most human virtues; He manifested the Spiritual powers, and put them into practice in the world around Him.
(10:6)
