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

..since the advent of Baha'u'llah, there have been.. war and destruction.. but this is just what the prophets have said would happen at the dawn of the "great and terrible Day of the Lord,".. According to the parable of Christ, the Lord of the Vineyard must miserably destroy the wicked husbandmen before He gives the Vineyard to others who will render Him the fruits in their seasons. Does this not mean that.. dire destruction awaits those despotic governments.. priests, mullas, or tyrannical leaders who through the centuries have, like wicked husbandmen, misruled the earth and misappropriated its fruits? (47:4)
