The 'Land of Mystery' refers to the city of Adrianople, now Edime, situated in Turkey on the border with Bulgaria, an area which, at the time of Baha'u'llah, was located in the Ottoman Empire. In 1863 Baha'u'llah was exiled to Adrianople, and it was in 1866, during His sojourn there, that a meteor shower took place. It would therefore appear that the 1833 meteor shower cannot be the one referred to in Matthew 24:29 - unless the 1833 meteor shower heralded the Bab and the 1866 meteor shower is understood as a herald of Baha'u'llah.
