As to the cycle of the Blessed Beauty—the times of the
Greatest Name—this is not limited to a thousand or two thousand years....
When it is said that the period of a thousand years
beginneth with the Manifestation of the Blessed Beauty and every day thereof is
a thousand years, the intent is a reference to the cycle of the Blessed Beauty,
which in this context will extend over many ages into the unborn reaches of time.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha)
