Manifestation of God - Definition. Use of the English word "prophet" obscures the fact that Bahá'ís view not only the prophetic messages as divine, but also the messengers themselves, who are said to possess both human and divine stations. This resembles the Shi'i understanding of the prophets and Imams, as well as the Christian view of Christ. The Manifestations of God are seen as Divine Educators, who are raised up by God with the purpose of uplifting mankind. Each one brings a book, and reveals teachings and laws according to the time and place which they appear. All of them suffer ...

The phrase "Manifest Destiny" is most often associated with the territorial expansion of the United States from 1815 to 1860. This era, from the end of the War of 1812 to the beginning of the American Civil War, has been called the "Age of Manifest Destiny". During this time, the United States expanded to the Pacific Ocean—"from sea to shining sea"—largely defining the borders of the continental United States as they are today. Manifest Destiny played a role in U.S. relations with British North America (later Canada) to the north, but wa ...

The phrase, which means obvious (or undeniable) fate, was coined by New York City journalist John L. O'Sullivan in the July–August 1845 issue of his magazine the Democratic Review. In an essay entitled "Annexation", which called on the U.S. to admit the Republic of Texas into the Union, O'Sullivan wrote of "our manifest destiny to overspread the continent allotted by Providence for the free development of our yearly multiplying millions." Amid much controversy, Texas was annexed shortly thereafter, but O'Sullivan's first usage of th ...

Definition and meaning of Manifest Destiny

Manifest Destiny

"Manifest destiny" was a popular expression in the 1840s. Many believed that the United States was destined to secure territory from "sea to sea," from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. This rationale drove the acquisition of territory in the 1840s as President James K. Polk attempted to declare the parallel of 54�40' as the northern boundary of the United States. Britain initially refused, but the nations compromised in 1846 and the United States acquired the Oregon territory. The United States also secured a vast territory in the southwest following the Mexican War in 1848. Mexico ceded all claims north of the Rio Grande which included present-day states of California, Nevada, Utah, and parts of Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Wyoming.

A Theosophical definition of Manifestation :

Manifestation

A generalizing term signifying not only the beginning but the continuance of organized kosmic activity, the latter including the various minor activities within itself. First there is of course always the Boundless in all its infinite planes and worlds or spheres, aggregatively symbolized by the circle; then parabrahman, or the kosmic life-consciousness activity, and mulaprakriti its other pole, signifying root-nature especially in its substantial aspects.

Then the next stage lower, Brahman and its veil pradhana; then Brahma-prakriti or Purusha-prakriti (prakriti being also maya); the manifested universe appearing through and by this last, Brahma-prakriti, "father-mother." In other words, the second Logos or father-mother is the producing cause of manifestation through their son which, in a planetary chain, is the primordial or the originating manu, called Svayambhuva.

When manifestation opens, prakriti becomes or rather is maya; and Brahma, the father, is the spirit of the consciousness, or the individuality. These two, Brahma and prakriti, are really one, yet they are also the two aspects of the one life-ray acting and reacting upon itself, much as a man himself can say, "I am I." He has the faculty of self-analysis or self-division. All of us know it, we can feel it in ourselves  - one side of us, in our thoughts, can be called the prakriti or the material element, or the mayavi element, or the element of illusion; and the other is the spirit, the individuality, the god within.

The student should note carefully that manifestation is but a generalizing term, comprehensive therefore of a vast number of different and differing kinds of evolving planes or realms. For instance, there is manifestation on the divine plane; there is manifestation also on the spiritual plane; and similarly so on all the descending stages of the ladder or stair of life. There are universes whose "physical" plane is utterly invisible to us, so high is it; and there are other universes in the contrary direction, so far beneath our present physical plane that their ethereal ranges of manifestation are likewise invisible to us.

Bahá'ís believe that God has always sent Messengers and Prophets whose messages have reached every people.
