ADDITIONAL Prophetic PROOFS-
There are many other references to the Glory of God in the Bible which Baha'is see as referring to Baha'u'llah. I will here offer a few of these references: (130:1)

Prophecy-
And, behold, the glory of the god of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory. Ezekiel 43:2 (130:2)

Commentary-
Baha'u'llah was exiled from His native land, Iran, eventually to the prison city of Akka, in Palestine, now the state of Israel. To Baha'is, His arrival in this city signalized the fulfillment of the long-awaited advent of the Lord of Hosts in the Holy Land. Thus, Baha'u'llah, the Glory of God, did indeed come by way of the east (130:3)

Prophecy-
The prophet Ezekiel also speaks of his visions of the "Glory of the Lord" by the river Chebar:. 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. Ezekiel 3:23 (130:4)

Commentary-
Baha'u'llah was for ten years in exile in what is now Iraq, near the very place where the ancient river Chebar flowed (130:5)

Prophecy-
Isaiah also speaks of the glory of the Lord:-
It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our god. Isaiah 35:2 (130:6)
