Hey Susan, good point, most of Shaykhs and Azalis (about Ghiyath 1511) confine the interpret!
ation of
their respective messianic prophecies into intrinsic numerological tricks to reject the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh respectively. A scholar said me that in Tablets not yet translated, Bahá’u’lláh links Mustaghath and its number 2001 with the numbers 9 and 19. I know great scholar Stephen Lambden (http://www.hurqalya.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/BAHA'-ALLAH/L-Khalil%20Shirazi.htm) explains about this issue, saying this could refer to future Manifestations, but maybe you can resume it better to us.

To my knowle!
dge he
didn't say that in any of his
writings. And as far
as his pilgrim's notes go, they presumed that the
day would not be
followed by night because a future Guardian could
not fail to
recognize the next Manifestation!

It is fiction, but there is always short times of messianic concealment. I think in one thousand there will be messianic concealment, a distant descendant of Bahá’u’lláh could claim Guardianship, and this could be that concealment! If this descendant claim Guardianship in MORE than 1000 years, is legally correct, then this “guardian” could be the Manifestation, or lead us to the Manifestation. But I could be wrong, as Susan said: “conjecture is conjecture”.
Please, see this quote of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá:
"My purpose is this, that ere the expiration of a thousand years, no one has the right to utter a single word, even to claim the station of Guardianship. "The Most Holy Book is the Book to which all peoples shall refer, and in it the Laws of God have been revealed. Laws not mentioned in the Book should be referred to the decision of the Universal House of Justice..." (Compilations, Lights of Guidance, p. 313)
