Compared with the eighteenth century the present time is as the dawn after darkness, or as the spring after winter. The world is stirring with new life, thrilling with new ideals and hopes. Things that but a few years ago seemed impossible dreams are now accomplished facts. Others that seemed centuries ahead of us have already become matters of "practical politics." We fly in the air and make voyages under the sea. We send messages around the world with the speed of lightning. Within a few decades we have seen miracles too numerous to mention. (9:4)

The Sun of Righteousness
What is the cause of this sudden awakening throughout the world? Baha'is believe that it is due to a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit through the Prophet Baha'u'llah, Who was born in Persia in 1817 and passed away in the Holy Land in 1892. (9:5)
