62. Whoso layeth claim to a Revelation direct from God, ere the expiration of a full thousand years
The Dispensation of Baha'u'llah will last until the coming of the next Manifestation of God, Whose advent will not take place before at least "a full thousand years" will have elapsed. Baha'u'llah cautions against ascribing to "this verse" anything other than its "obvious meaning", and in one of His Tablets, He specifies that "each year" of this thousand year period consists of "twelve months according to the Qur'an, and of nineteen months of nineteen days each, according to the Bayan". (195:2)
