Prophecies declare that "at the end of the age" everything will be made new. The Baha'i social order is so new, it cannot be compared with any other order. Its success in fostering and protecting the unity and harmony of the Baha'i community and moving it forward towards a glorious fulfillment, through the noblest means, presents evidence of its distinction and divine origin. The present Baha'i community, which encompasses 120,000 centers, 17,000 local assemblies, and 175 national assemblies in over 200 countries and territories, offers a perfect model for the future world order, when all humanity acknowledges Baha'u'llah's Revelation. (1:10) Baha'u'llah's New World Order, unparalleled in all history, offers one more evidence of His divine origin. As Machiavelli wrote, "It must be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to plan, more uncertain of success, nor more dangerous to manage, than the creation of a new order of things."
