How many people knew about Christ when He appeared about 2000 years ago? - It was only centuries after His death that people gradually came to know about Him.

My belief - as a Bahá'í - is that God has regularly sent Messengers, to tell us what He wants from us, to guide us. These Messengers are the founders of different great religions, who - according to our belief - are actually all sent by the same God. It can be said that each of them is the "return" of the previous divine Messengers. Specifically, we recognize three Messengers that appeared after Jesus Christ - Muhammad, the Báb, Bahá'u'lláh.

It is well-known that many Christians had expected Christ to appear in the year 1844 ("Thief in the Night" by William Sears gives some details in the first chapters); that was the year that the Báb announced His claim, to be a Messenger of God.
