Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh : ウィキペディア英語版 | Covenant of Bahá'u'lláh
Covenant in the Bahá'í Faith refers to two separate binding agreements between God and man.〔 A Covenant in the religious sense is a binding agreement made between God and man wherein a certain behaviour is required of man and in return God guarantees certain blessings. The concept of a covenant has been found in various religious scriptures including numerous covenant references in the Bible. In the Bahá'í Faith there is a distinction between a ''Greater Covenant'' which is made between every messenger from God and his followers concerning the next dispensation, and a ''Lesser Covenant'' that concerns successorship of authority within the religion after the messenger dies.〔 == Greater covenant == The greater covenant refers to the covenant made between each messenger from God, which the literature of the Bahá'í Faith name Manifestations of God, and his followers regarding the coming of the next Manifestation from God.〔 According to Bahá'u'lláh, the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, God has promised that he will send a succession of messengers that will instruct humankind.〔 In Bahá'í belief, this covenant is seen to be expressed in prophecy in the religious scripture of each religion, and each Manifestation of God, such as Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Muhammad, the Báb, and Bahá'u'lláh, prophesied the next Manifestation.〔 In return, the followers of each religion are seen to have a duty to investigate the claims of the following Manifestations.〔
