Is mankind finally able to overcome its incompetence and shortcomings that have so weighed it down in the past? Aren't we the same bunch that have messed things up before? Or is there something new to combat the viruses that have plagued the human race: anger, jealousy, greed, materialism, the love of leadership, and so on?

The new element is the Covenant of Baha'u'llah. When people like you and me choose to walk in the light of the Covenant:

• A shift in human affairs is started.
• The shortcomings and foibles that have corrupted political systems and religions for eons gradually lose their power.
• The foundation is laid for peace and security on this war-torn planet.
• The world draws closer to fulfilling the Báb's promise.
• Mankind comes into harmony with the latest Word from God.

How does the Covenant fulfil the Báb's prophecy? The answer lies in the dynamic relationship between the Covenant and you.
