15.    Perquisites of Him Whom God Will Make Manifest

15.2.   Definitions

15.2.3  Fruits of the preceding manifestation gathered in the succeeding manifestation
“For all the fruits of the preceding manifestation, and the years that have elapsed in regard to which, must be revealed in the Day of Resurrection. In the manifestation of Him Whom God Will Make Manifest God knows at what limits of age He will make him manifest. But be attentive from the inception of the manifestation till the number of Wáhid (One = 19) that in each year profession of faith is made to one Letter of the Living) on the part of all men, after which the fruits of the preceding manifestation may no longer be revealed save in the subsequent manifestation even as in this manifestation anyone who was in it has witnessed the fact that the fruits of one thousand, two hundred and sixty years [=1260 years] have not been permitted to exceed the limit of the BÁB [= 5 years]. If he failed to reveal the fruits of his own existence he is by himself shut out as by a veil [from the manifestation].” VI, 3.

It is to be noted that the time-limit of 19 years relates to the period within which the fruits of the Bayan are to be gathered in the manifestation of Him Whom God Will Make Manifest after his manifestation, and not repeat NOT to the period within which the manifestation of Him Whom God Will Make Manifest is to take place after the Point’s manifestation as god alone knows the exact date of the manifestation of Him Whom God Will Make Manifest.

That the Primal Point did not know the exact date of the manifestation of Him Whom God Will Make Manifest is once again confirmed in VII,10: “For from the inception of the manifestation till the next manifestation god knows how long it will take. But it will not be more than the number of Mustaghath [=2001 years after the Point’s manifestation], God willing. In the Quranic cycle its beginning and return took place in the name of Aghfar [a divine attribute = 1281] less the number of the name Huwa [He = 11] [1281-11 = 1270 = 1260 years]. In the Bayan God knows to what limit [of time] it will reach; for there is no criterion for this because the interval between the Gospel and the Quran did not even reach to one thousand [years].” VII,10.
