Update on the Bahá'í Trial

Since Saturday, news has come through that the Seven Bahá'í leaders are still being held prisoner and their trial has been delayed until further notice.

Why would the Iranian government delay the trial? Do they fear greater uproar-internationally and locally? Did they actually try and execute the Bahá'ís in secret? Do they, God forbid, simply wish to keep them in prison for life?

Let the world know!


“Had you believed in Me, O wayward generation, every one of you would have followed the example of this youth [Anis-the young man martyred along side the Báb], who stood in rank above most of you, and willingly would have sacrificed himself in My path. The day will come when you will have recognised Me; that day I shall have ceased to be with you.”
-Last Words of the Báb

So much can be taken out of this quote. Does the final part "that day I shall have ceased to be with you" mean His literal death? Or does it perhaps refer to the coming of Bahá'u'lláh and He being the One who they shall recognize? Any thoughts?
