Baha'u'llah & the New Era by -J. Esslemont- 1 Para

The position of Baha'u'llah among the Prophets is unprecedented and unique, because the condition of the world at the time of His advent was unprecedented and unique. By a long and checkered process of development in religion, science, art and civilization the world had become ripe for a teaching of Unity. The barriers which in previous centuries had made a world unity impossible were ready to crumble when Baha'u'llah appeared, and since His.. teachings began, these barriers have been breaking down in most astonishing fashion.. (126:4)
