Challenging conventional interpretations of history, this work asks whether an overarching purpose and direction underlie humanity’s journey. It proposes that a “new Eye,” opened by Bahá’u’lláh in the nineteenth century, reveals grand patterns that have shaped civilisations. By weaving together religious vision and historical analysis, it contends that ignoring this guidance led to twentieth-century tragedies but maintains that embracing this universal perspective can co-create a flourishing global civilisation, even amid the pain of transition.

Drawing on the legacies of Abraham, Moses, Krishna, Buddha, Christ and Muhammad, the book adds Bahá’u’lláh as the latest catalyst for moral-spiritual maturity. It presents a five-stage theory tracing development from the Neolithic era through regional empires to an emerging world community. By identifying providential patterns and envisioning future possibilities, it offers realistic hope for a just, united and dynamic global civilisation, inviting readers to re-see history and grasp the promise of this transformative “Day.”
