[Baha’u’llah and the New Era by J.E. Esslemont]@TWC D-Link bookBaha’u’llah and the New Era CHAPTER 13: PROPHECIES FULFILLED BY THE BAHA'I MOVEMENT 5/41
He shall bring with Him a reign of Peace during which even the animals shall cease to be at enmity with man.
For behold, the wolf and the lamb shall drink from the same spring ... and all God's creatures shall be at rest...." Thus the Jews thought and spoke, for they did not understand the Scriptures nor the glorious truths that were contained in them. The letter they knew by heart, but of the life-giving Spirit they understood not a word. Hearken, and I will show you the meaning thereof: Although Christ came from Nazareth, which was a known place, He came also from heaven.
His body was born of Mary, but His Spirit came from heaven.
The sword He carried was the sword of His tongue, with which He divided the good from the evil, the true from the false, the faithful from the unfaithful, and the light from the darkness. His Word was indeed a sharp sword! The throne upon which He sat is the Eternal Throne from which Christ reigns forever, a heavenly throne, not an earthly one, for the things of earth pass away but heavenly things pass not away.
He reinterpreted and completed the Laws of Moses and fulfilled the Law of the Prophets.
