And the context would be essential in understanding such a statement.
But I found the phrase several times in the Guardian's writings and
each time it refers to prophecies made by Abdu'l-Baha. Here is one.
Nor should a survey of the outstanding features of so blessed and
fruitful a ministry omit mention of the prophecies which the unerring
pen of the appointed Center of Bahá'u'lláh's Covenant has recorded.
These foreshadow the fierceness of the onslaught that the resistless
march of the Faith must provoke in the West, in India and in the Far
East when it meets the time-honored sacerdotal orders of the
Christian, the 147 Buddhist and Hindu religions. They foreshadow the
turmoil which its emancipation from the fetters of religious orthodoxy
will cast in the American, the European, the Asiatic and African
continents....
