Dear Hasan,
I think both things are true. Khazeh has written some along these
lines as well.

I know of at least one former member of the Universal House of Justice
who is persuaded that the Guardianship will be restored when the next
Manifestation appears. Like Brent, he believes the current
Administrative Order will last for the next 500,000 years. But if that
office were indeed restored, would its holder be a descendent of
Baha'u'llah? Given the fact that all those descendents were Covenant
breakers, that seems unlikely.
warmest, Susan
