He assumed the the title Bab ("the Gate") and prophesized the future arrival of "One greater than Himself." One of the Bab's followers, Mirza Husayn-Ali-Nuri (1817-1892) announced that he was the Manifestation predicated by the Bab.
He assumed the title Baha'u'llah ("glory of God"). His teachings on world peace, democracy, civil rights, equal rights for women, the acceptance of Scientific discoveries, etc were decades ahead of his time.
Bahai's believe in a single God who has repeatedly sent prophets into the world through whom he has revealed the "Word of God".
Their beliefs promote major social changes when originated in the 19th century: they supported gender and race equality; world government and world peace. Followers are heavily involved in promoting these concepts today.
