This diagram represents the succession of the Jewish, Christian, Islamic and Bahá\'í revelations. In it we see the how the Jewish, Christian and Islamic religions brought forward great civilisations which brought about the general progress of mankind in arts, sciences, social organisation, etc. Since religions know seasons of blossoming, fruition, decine and 'death', their successive seasons form a staircase leading to God. The Bahá\'í Faith is still in its infancy, hence its season of blossoming and gathering a following has hardly begun.
