Progressive revelation is a core teaching in the
Bahá'í Faith that suggests that religious truth is revealed by God progressively and cyclically over time through a series of divine
Messengers, and that the teachings are tailored to suit the needs of the time and place of their appearance. Thus, the
Bahá'í teachings recognize the divine origin of several world religions as different stages in the history of
one religion, while believing that the revelation of
Bahá'u'lláh is the most recent (though not the last—that there will never be a last), and therefore the most relevant to modern society.
