For those of u familiar with the bahai faith and the earths geological state in the 19th century .....I was reading a book entitled Thief in the Night by William Sears and it begins with saying that in the 19th century people were beyond eager for the return of Christ. I dunno if there was a period of time when this eagerness was greater than in the 19th century but first of all ....
1. We're Christians incredibly eager for the return of Christ in the nineteenth century?
2. Was there any period of time before that that people were as eager as then?
What was the earth like then from a geological standpoint, was it as "active" other periods in the past?
Thanks.
