Prophecies of Chilam Balam fulfilled

MAYAN PROPHECIES OF CHILAM BALAM

The prophecies of Chilam Balam (the Jaguar Priest) date from about 1168 AD.

[ie. 1844]

The sign of the true God on high, there will come to us

The upright beam [the standard of God], it will manifest itself

To light the world.

The union ended, envy ended,

When the bearer of the future sign came to us,

The priest lord,

You shall see it from afar

Coming. The fame of the beam [standard] comes

To awaken us. From everywhere

It comes to us. To the power of Itzamna

Approaches our master, Itza.

Your brother is coming now.

Receive your bearded guests from the east,

Bearers of the standard of God.

Receive the word of God which

Comes to us on the day of resurrection

Which is feared by all in the world, Lord

You are the unique God who created us

Take advantage of the word of God

Whose sign you raise on high

Whose beam you raise upright

That you raise upright so that it may be seen

It changes the splinters that come out of it

It changes them after the rainbow appears

Shown throughout the world,

It is the sign of the true God of heaven.

That is the one you shall worship, Itzas

You are going to worship its ensigns on high

You are going to worship the true faith

You are going to worship the True God

Believe the word of the One God,

For his word came from heaven,

And it counsels you, Itzas.

It awakens the world, makes them believe.

Within another Katun

I wept for my words, I, Chilam Balam

When I explained the word of the True God

Lord forever over the earth.

The prophecies of Chilam Balam foretell the coming of the twin bearded guests from the east bearing aloft the "upright beam" beginning in 1844 AD. This is the "word of the "One God" come down "from heaven" which will "light the world" and "awaken" humanity on the "day of resurrection". The Baha'i Faith began in 1844 AD. The twin bearded guests from the east are Baha'u'llah and his forerunner, the Bab. They brought the message that will "light the world" and "awaken" humanity on the "day of resurrection".

Referring to this "day of resurrection" the Baha'i Writings state:
"O ye people. The Sun of Reality hath appeared and flooded all regions with its glorious light; it has upraised the Standard of Oneness of the world of humanity and summoned all mankind to the refulgent Truth. The cloud of Mercy is pouring, the zephyr of Providence is wafting and the world of humanity is being stirred and moved. The Divine Spirit is conferring eternal life, the heavenly lights are illumining the hearts, the table of the sustenance of the Kingdom is spread and adorned with all kinds of foods and victuals. O ye concourses of men! Awake! Awake! Become mindful! Become mindful! Open ye the seeing eye! Unstop the hearing ear! Hark! Hark! The soft notes of the Heavenly Music are streaming down, ravishing the ears of the people of spiritual discernment. Ere long this transcendent Light will wholly enlighten the East and West!" -`Abdu'l-Baha

These prophecies of the Toltec and the Maya have been explicitly fulfilled.
