Dr. Leland Jensen / **Letters** # **Letter to E. S. Yazdani** #### **Dr. Leland Jensen** ###### August 24, 1993 [↓ PDF](https://leland-jensen-info.netlify.app/1993-08-24-jensen-to-yazdani.pdf) *** **Dear Mr Yazdani,** Allah'u'Abha I have just received from Francis C. Spataro of New York City (Queens), a copy of your stupendous letter of your stupendous letter of 8-4-88 written to Mr. Hugh Chance c/o P.O. Box 155 Haifa, Israel. I feel honored to have received it. The taking over of the Baha'i administration by the Covenant-breaking "Hands" was not an attempt to save the faith after the passing of Shoghi Effendi, as they state, but a deliberate action to corrupt the administration for their own self-aggrandizement and empowerment. This was far above and beyond any provision provided for them in the Covenant, i.e. the Master's *Will and Testament*. In order to accomplish this it was necessary for the Hands to do away with the Guardianship. This in itself was a gross sin (blasphemy against the Holy Spirit) not forgiven either in this life or the next\[1]. With the guard of the faith out of the way they did as they darn well pleased. They knew what they were doing, so there is nothing we can do to get them to change their course. I know Hugh Chance quite well. He was the attorney for the Palmer School of Chiropractic Administration. His job is to defend the corrupt administration right or wrong, as Chiropractic before he became the attorney for the corrupt Baha'i any lawyer does. I have written an expose as to *"who did it,"* how, why, when and where. Please find this document enclosed. Also every Manifestation of God has an establisher of His Revelation. For Moses there was Joshua, who brought the twelve tribes of Israel into the Promised Land. For Jesus Christ it was Paul, who was not an apostle during the lifetime of Christ, but was chosen afterward by Him to establish His Revelation among the Gentiles. For Baha'u'llah there was one prophesied in Scriptures that would come after Baha'ullah, 'Abdu'l-Baha and Shoghi Effendi. In the 11th chapter of Revelation he is prophesied as the 7th angel. 'Abdu'l-Baha said the 7th angel "**will**" come: >The seventh angel is a man qualified with heavenly attributes, **who will** arise with heavenly qualities and character. Voices **will be** raised, so that the appearance of the Divine Manifestation **will be** proclaimed and diffused … in **that day** of God, the Spiritual and Divine **Kingdom** \[Davidic] **will be** established, and the world **will be** renewed; … > >('Abdu'l-Baha, *Some Answered Questions*, 66; emphasis added.) Because this Blessed One is to come after 'Abdu'l-Baha, some think that he might be Shoghi Effendi, but 'Abdu'l-Baha gives the exact date, to the day, for the appearance of this Blessed Person. In the 24th chapter of Matthew the disciples asked Jesus when he was going to come again. In the 15th verse he told them to turn to Daniel for the date. In the twelfth chapter Daniel gives three dates for the return of Jesus Christ. In verse six he gives the date of three and one half times, which 'Abdu'l-Baha, in *Some Answered Questions*, (SAQ) p. 52, explains as 1260 A.H., which refers to the proclamation of the Bab in 1844 A.D. In the eleventh verse Daniel gives the date of 1290 years. 'Abdu'l-Baha on the same page explains that these are 1290 lunar years from the Proclamation of Muhammad to the Proclamation of Baha'u'llah, the second coming of Christ,\[2] on April 21, 1863 A.D. In the twelfth verse Daniel gives the date of 1335 solar years from the victory of Muhammad in 628 A.H. to the return of Jesus the High Priest after the order of Melchizedek\[3]. In *Baha'u'llah and the New Era*, chapter 14, under the sub-title of *Coming of the Kingdom of God*, J. E. Esselmont writes: >In the last two verses of the Book of Daniel occur the cryptic words: — > >"Blessed is **he** that waiteth and cometh to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. But go thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days." > >… In a table talk at which the writer was present, 'Abdu'l-Baha reckoned the fulfillment of Daniel's prophecy from the date of the beginning of the Muhammadan era \[628 A.D. with the victory of Muhammad over Mecca]. 'Abdu'l-Baha's Tablets make it clear that this prophecy refers to the one-hundredth anniversary of the Declaration of Baha'u'llah in Baghdad, or the year 1963. > > (John E. Esselmont, *Baha'u'llah and the New Era*, 1950 ed., chp. 14, "Prophecies of Baha'u'llah and 'Abdu'l-Baha," subsec. "Coming of the Kingdom of God," 299; emphasis added.) So 'Abdu'l-Baha makes it indubitably clear that this prophecy does not refer to either Baha'u'llah, 'Abdu'l-Baha or Shoghi Effendi, for Shoghi Effendi passed on before that date in 1957. This Blessed Person is prophesied to come in the name of "the-land" in Zechariah 3:9. In that same verse, he was prophesied to come at the address of the "stone with seven eyes." He is the High Priest (Great Teacher), Jesus (Joshua), of verse 1 of that chapter. Without the establisher Joshua, Israel would not have been established in the Holy Land. Without the establisher Paul, Christianity would not have been established throughout the world and would have remained as a sect of Judaism. Without the advent of this Blessed Person, the Kingdom of God would not be established, here on this earth. Why aren't the Baha'is looking for the advent of this Blessed Person prophesied by 'Abdu'l-Baha and who fulfills the prophecies for the return of Jesus the High Priest. Jesus said; "For many will come in my name \[Jesus], saying I am the Christ; and shall deceive many." (Matthew 24:5, KJV). Baha'u'llah did not come in the name of Jesus but in the name of Baha'u'llah, the second coming of Christ, seated on the throne of David. Had He come in the name of *Jesus*, He would have been an impostor. Therefore the second coming of Jesus came in the name of "the-land" (Zechariah 3:9), and began his mission with being opposed by Satan on April 21, 1963, the date given by Daniel. He made his proclamation having "the stone with seven eyes" before him, on the 9th day of Ridvan of April 29, 1971. He wore the "dirty garment" (Zechariah 3:3) distinguishing him from all the other Promised Ones. This Blessed Person is now re-establishing the **"Kingdom"** that the Covenant-breakers expelled from their midst. He established the second International Baha'i Council on January 9th, 1991 just exactly forty years\[4] (Ezekiel 4:6) after Shoghi Effendi had established the first International Baha'i Council on January 9th, 1951. There is much much more that we would like to share with you, so please respond immediately. Enclosed please find a copy of a News Release that was sent out to a number of the media here in the United States. There is so much to share with you. I hope that you are still alive and healthy. God has a plan that will take care of the matter as there is nothing we can do with these Covenant-breakers. We are on the brink of the great world-wide catastrophe that is prophesied to come in Baha'i writ: >God, the Vigilant, the Just, the Loving, the All-Wise Ordainer, can, in this supreme Dispensation, neither allow the **sins** of an unregenerate humanity, whether of omission or of commission, to go unpunished, nor will He be willing to abandon His children to their fate… "O ye peoples of the world! Know verily that an unforeseen calamity is following you and that grievous retribution awaiteth you. Think not the deeds ye have committed have been blotted from My sight. By My Beauty! **All your doings** hath My pen graven with open characters upon tablets of chrysolite." > >(Shoghi Effendi, *World Order of Baha'u'llah*, 3, emphasis added.) >The world is in travail, and its agitation waxeth day by day. Its face is turned towards waywardness and unbelief. Such shall be its plight, that to disclose it now would not be meet and seemly. Its perversity will long continue. And when the appointed hour is come, there shall suddenly appear that which shall cause the limbs of mankind to quake. Then, and only then, will the Divine Standard \[**the Covenant**] be unfurled, and the Nightingale of Paradise warble its melody. > >(Baha'u'llah, *Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah*, trans. Shoghi Effendi, 1983, 118–119, emphasis added.)
