" A Covenant in the religious sense is a binding agreement between God and man, whereby God requires of man certain behavior in return for which He guarantees certain blessings.." UHJ message 1988. When God made our world He also made a promise. He promised that He would never leave us alone. God would send Teachers to show us how to live and do what was right. These Teachers would live among us and talk to us in words we could understand. Those teachers would tell us how to know and love God.
Some of the Teachers are:
Moses; lived from 1300 BC to 1250 BC
Krishna; lived between 1200BC and 900 BC
Zoroaster; lived from 628 BC to 483 BC
Buddha; lived from ~563 BC to 483 BC
Christ; lived from 4 BC to 30 AD
Muhammad; lived from 570 AD to 632 AD
Bab; lived from 1819 AD to 1850 AD
Baha'u'llah; lived from 1817 AD to 1892 AD
Each Prophet, during His own time, said He was the One Way to God. Each one has said that another Prophet would come again in future to bring people closer to God. Baha'u'llah tells us that now is the time for the whole earth to come together as one family. Now we are ready to recognize the grand plan of God to educate His children.

"The light of the Covenant...is the educator of the minds, the spirits, the hearts and soul of men." Abdu'l-Baha
