God

Upon establishing the Babi faith in 1844, the Bab had foretold that in 19 years a divine figure would appear, “him whom God should manifest.” In 1863, in Baghdād, Baha’u’llah proclaimed himself to be that manifestation. His followers, called Baha’is, believe that he was the latest in a series of divine manifestations that includes Zoroaster, the Buddha, Jesus Christ, and Muhammad and that he brought a new revelation to the world.
