In every age the prophecy has been made by the Messenger of the time as to the next advent. Sometimes it is said: I will come," and sometimes: "He will come."

• "I will come" has been told to those who would recognize the same Spirit of Guidance in every coming of the Messenger;
• "He will come" has been told to those to whom name and form make a difference, and who cannot recognize the same Spirit in another name and another form.
