John 16
[12] "I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now.
[13] When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the
truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he
hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to
come.JS:
Indeed, very true, and that Person is Muhammad-the Bab-Baha'u'llah.
Some analogous verses from the Qur'an are:
Qur'an 11:102-7 ...In that is a Sign for those who fear the penalty of the Hereafter: that is a Day for which mankind will be gathered together: that will be a Day of Testimony. Nor shall We delay it but for a term appointed. The day it arrives, no soul shall speak except by His leave: of those (gathered) some will be wretched and some will be blessed. Those who are wretched shall be in the Fire: There will be for them therein (nothing but) the heaving of sighs and sobs: They will dwell therein for all the time that the heavens and the earth endure, except as thy Lord willeth: for thy Lord is the (sure) accomplisher of what He planneth.
Qur'an 69:17 And the angels will be on the sides thereof, and eight will uphold the Throne of thy Lord that day, above them.
Qur'an 50:20 And the Trumpet shall be blown: that will be the Day whereof Warning (had been given). And there will come forth every soul: with each will be an (angel) to drive, and an (angel) to bear witness.
Qur'an 39:68-69 And there shall be a blast on the Trumpet, and all who are in the Heaven and all who are on the earth shall expire, save those whom God shall vouchsafe to live. Then shall there be another blast on it, and lo! arising they shall gaze around them: and the earth shall shine with the light of her Lord.
Qur'an 7:30: He will return you (on the Day of Judgment) reverted back to when you were first created. A section guided, and a section will go astray.
Qur'an 43:61 : And (Jesus) shall be a Sign (for the coming of) the Hour (of Judgment: therefore have no doubt about the (Hour), but follow ye Me: this is a Straight Way.
