Baha'u'llah glorifies Jesus, as Jesus said that He would: (6:51)

Reflect how Jesus, the Spirit of God, was, notwithstanding His extreme meekness and perfect tender-heartedness, treated by His enemies. So fierce was the opposition which He, the Essence of Being and Lord of the visible and invisible, had to face, that He had nowhere to lay His head. He wandered continually from place to place, deprived of a permanent abode. (gwb XXIII) (6:52)

It was also prophesied by Jesus:
And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd. (joh 10:16) (6:53) see

Jesus did not say that these other sheep would know Him as Jesus (His flesh) but that they would recognize His Voice (the Eternal Word). (6:54)

Of course, these statements of Jesus are subject to widely differing interpretation. Some Christians say that the "Spirit of truth" came at Pentecost. Now consider: if the Spirit of Truth was to guide the Church into all truth, and the Spirit of Truth had come some two thousand years ago, why then, has Christ's Faith been split into so many sects? Isn't "truth" one? (6:55)

Paul himself states, long after Pentecost, that all truth had not been revealed during his time: (6:56)

For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. (1co 13:9) (6:57) see

Baha'u'llah has said that He is the Spirit of Truth, and that He has come to guide us into all truth. He has unsealed the Scriptures, as prophesied by Christ, explaining their meaning, revealing their inner significance. Like Jesus, He came with a new Name, one that no one was expecting. (6:58)

Baha'u'llah means the "Glory of God," the "Glory of the Lord," the "Glory of the Father." This name is mentioned many times in the Bible. Below are a few instances: (6:59)

For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. (mat 16:27) (6:60) see

The prophet Ezekiel was exiled to Babylon near the ancient river of Chebar which was located near the present-day city of Baghdad where Baha'u'llah spent ten years of His exile. There Ezekiel wrote this reference to Baha'u'llah's name: (6:61)

Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face. (eze 3:23) (6:62) see

Again, Ezekiel writes:
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. (eze 43:1) (6:63) see

Baha'u'llah arrived in what is now Israel from the way of the east. He was exiled there from Adrianople by the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. (6:64)
