Hello,

What do the different titles for the Messengers of God stand for?

Thanks

Baha'u'llah teaches that there is a difference between "Manifestation endowed with constancy" and other Prophets.

Those endowed with constancy are endowed with perfect knowledge and are in every way perfect and infallible. Whatever They say They do, and whatever They do They say. These reveal a new.revelation from God and advance the cause of God on earth. They leave with us a holy Book of the teachings of God to be our guide until the next dispensation.

The rest are minor Prophets, who are under the authority of those Greater Manifestations. These minor Prophets are charged with interpreting the Word of God left to us and elucidate and expound the holy Writ.

These minor Prophets include Isaiah, and the other Prophets of record in the Old Testament. Also are the Apostles of Christ Jesus, and the holy Imams of the family of Mohammed Who taught foe 260 successive years after the assention of Mohammed.

In the Writings, however, Baha'u'llah indicates many Manifestations including the Universal Manifestation of God, which indicates how all things bear witness to the existence of God, the Creator of all things. A d yet other entities are indicated according to the context of the verses in question.

Baha'u'llah has much to say about all this in later paragraphs if the Iqan.
