This same prophecy, we must furthermore recognize, attests the independent character of the Babi Dispensation and corroborates indirectly the truth that in accordance with the principle of progressive revelation every Manifestation of God must needs vouchsafe to the peoples of His day a measure of divine guidance ampler than any which a preceding and less receptive age could have received or appreciated. For this reason, and not for any superior merit which the Baha'i Faith may be said to inherently possess, does this prophecy bear witness to the unrivaled power and glory with which the Dispensation of Baha'u'llah has been invested - a Dispensation the potentialities of which we are but beginning to perceive and the full range of which we can never determine.
(102:2)
