[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 6/41
His Word conquered the East and the West.
His kingdom is everlasting.
He exalted those Jews who recognized Him.
They were men and women of humble birth, but contact with Him made them great and gave them everlasting dignity.
The animals who were to live with one another signified the different sects and races, who, once having been at war, were now to dwell in love and charity, drinking together the Water of Life from Christ the Eternal Spring. Most Christians accept these interpretations of Messianic prophecies as applied to Christ; but with regard to similar prophecies about the latter-day Messiah, many of them take up the same attitude as the Jews, expecting a miraculous display on the material plane which will fulfill the very letter of the prophecies. Prophecies about the Bab and Baha'u'llah According to the Baha'i interpretations, the prophecies which speak of "the time of the end," the "last days," the coming of the "Lord of hosts," of the "everlasting Father," refer especially, not to the advent of Jesus Christ, but to that of Baha'u'llah.
