Not necessarily. There are about two billion Christians in the world.
There are over a billion Muslims. I'm NOT trying to accuse anyone of
the Bahai figures of being cynical or dishonest but if I were going to
make a popular world religion I wouldn't just ignore Biblical
prophecies just because I'm in a part of the world where there are few
Christians.
