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)
