Abundance of peace did not attend him, but great wars. The signs of Christ's Second Advent have not been fulfilled in Baha, either actually or metaphorically.[205] As well may Ahmad Quadiani or Dowie assert their pretensions. Baha's claim is antichristian. The day of Christ's power through the Holy Spirit has not passed. It is still His day. The knowledge of Christ is yet more covering the earth. Men of diverse races and religions in Asia, Africa, and the isles of the seas are being joined in the common faith and fellowship of Jesus Christ as Saviour of Men. There are more Christians in Korea than Bahais in Persia. More Jews have become Christian since Baha was born than have become Bahais from all races and religions outside of Persia. Christ still goes forth conquering and to conquer. VI. Bahaism, in its treatment of Jesus Christ as a man in His earthly life, belittles Him by both its denials and its affirmations. Of His temptation it says, "the devil signifies the human nature of Christ, through which He was tempted." His miracles of healing are denied.[206] Baha and Abul Fazl admit the possibility of miracles, but deny their evidential value,[207] but Abdul Baha denies their reality. He says: "The miracles of Christ were spiritual teachings, not literal deeds."[208] The raising of the dead means that the dead (in sin) are blessed with spiritual life.[209] By blindness (John ix.) is meant ignorance and error; by sight, knowledge and guidance.[210] The spittle coming from Christ was the meaning of His words, the clay was the expression He used in accordance with their understanding.[211] At the crucifixion darkness did not prevail, nor the earthquake, nor was the vail of the temple rent in twain.[212] The crucifixion was not an atoning sacrifice; Christ quaffed the cup of martyrdom "to cultivate and educate us."[213] The washing away of sins by Christ was not by His blood, but was by the practice of His teachings."[214] Christ did not rise from the dead. "Resurrection of the body is an unintelligible matter contrary to natural laws."[215] The body, which signifies His word, arose when faith in His cause revived in the minds of the disciples after three days.[216] Christ's real resurrection was the coming of Mohammed. "Christ by saying that He would be three days in the heart of the earth meant that He would appear in the third cycle. The Christian was one, the Mohammedan the second, and that of Baha the third." "The ascension of Christ with an elemental body is contrary to science." He ascended in the same sense as Baha ascended, viz., departed to the other world. Thus Bahaism denies the miracles,[217] atonement, resurrection, and ascension of Christ.
