Who Is Baha'u'llah?

Who Is Baha'u'llah?
To The Blessed Beauty

"Followers of the Gospel. Behold the gates of heaven are flung open. He that had ascended unto it is now come. Give ear to His voice calling aloud over land and sea, announcing to all mankind the advent of His Revelation…” And to the Jewish people, “whilst from the Burning Bush breaketh forth the cry: ’lo, the sacred Pledge hath been fulfilled, for He, the Promised One, is come!”’ And, “The Father hath come. That which ye were promised in the Kingdom of God is fulfilled.” And to the followers of Muhammad, Baha’u’llah doth cry, “Had Muhammad, the Apostle of God, attained this Day, He would have exclaimed, ‘I have truly recognized Thee, O Thou the Desire of the Divine Messengers!’”

Baha’u’llah, The World Order of Baha’u’llah, pp. 104-105

Who is Baha'u'llah?
He is my Lord!

He is the one
I address
when I pray
using my own words.

Who is Baha'u'llah?
He is the Blessed Beauty!
He is the Prince of Peace!

He is the one
I contemplate
when I think of
the New Jerusalem.

Who is Baha'u'llah?
He is the Lord of Host!
