Bahá'í historian H.M. Balyuzi writes in his book 'Abdu'l-Baha of one
American woman living in New York City who had recurring dreams where
Jesus appeared to her and told her that He had returned. The woman
wanted to see Him in person. She had this dream over and over again
for many nights. But the woman did not know what to make of it, and
thought perhaps Jesus had returned to Jerusalem, but was not sure. She
told her little seven year old daughter about the dreams, and she told
her daughter that she would go meet Jesus if she only knew where He
was. Balyuzi continues:
" At home her little daughter had asked her what she would do should
the Lord Jesus return to the world. She would rush to seek Him, she
had said, only to be told [by her child] that "Lord Jesus was
here!" [the girl's finger was on France on a globe they had in their
living room]. How did she know, the mother had inquired. The child
reported that the Lord Jesus had told her Himself. Some days later the
mother was reproached for not doing what she had said she would do
[i.e. travel to France to see Him]. Twice the Lord Jesus had told her
that He was here, the little girl insisted. But she did not know where
to look, the mother told her child. That afternoon, on a walk, the
little girl suddenly stopped and, excited and ecstatic, pointed to a
kiosk where magazines were displayed. Prominent there was the
photograph of 'Abdu'l-Baha. "There, there!" the child shouted, was the
Lord Jesus. The magazine which contained the photograph of 'Abdu'l-
Baha [a French magazine] led the way to Paris, and the American lady,
taking the first avaiable boat to cross the Atlantic, sailed that very
night." ('Abdu'l-Baha, p.109) |
