Isaiah foretold the coming of a "redeemer" to Israel at the time that the Jews began to return to Israel... in fact, Isaiah says that the redeemer will draw the Jews back to him. Isaiah says that the redeemer will be of the family line of King David.

Isaiah says that he will come to Israel from the east to Akka, Mt Carmel & Sharon.
Isaiah says that he will be a prisoner but that he will come out of prison to see his children and that he would live to a ripe old age.

Isaiah says that the redeemer will establish a government which will "increase" (grow) until it encompasses the entire earth. He says the same about peace - it will grow. Isaiah says that the redeemer will establish his place of pilgrimage "in the top of the mountains" --- the only mountain Isaiah mentions in his book is Mt Carmel.

Isaiah says that the redeemer will renew religion & reveal new things but that he will be opposed.

Did Baha'u'llah do any of this? Yes. He did all of it. Literally. Visibly. Verifiably.

In addition, Baha'u'llah also claims to be the one foretold by Isaiah.

Baha'u'llah was royalty & arab historians proved the link from his family line to that of King David hundreds of years before Baha'u'llah was born. Baha'u'llah was sent involuntarily to Israel from the east as a prisoner. He was put into the prison of Akka in Israel. He came out of prison and pitched a tent on the side of Mt Carmel with his children. Baha'u'llah lived to an old age. This all happened at a time when the Jews were beginning to return to Israel. Yes, Baha'u'llah foretold the modern state of Israel.

Baha'u'llah established an elected government that exists today in hundreds of thousands of locations in the world. This government is organized at the local, regional, national, continental & world levels. The Baha'i world center is located on Mt Carmel as foretold by Isaiah & Micah.

Can all of this just be coincidence?

Even his enemies, who hated the idea that Baha'u'llah was a Prophet, admitted that Baha'u'llah was one of the greatest minds ever to live.

It is obvious from your arguments that your heart is hardened against Baha'u'llah. I don't mind if you choose to ignore all of this. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. I am satisfied that at least now you know about it.

Talk to your friends about it. See what they think. -Joel
