LETTER TO THE EDITOR Explains Beliefs In &bait Faith R. IL 1, Holyrood, Ontario NOG 280 December 29, 1975, The advent of Baha'u'llah in 11363 fulfilled not only the Christian prophecies in the Bible but also the Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Zoroast- rian,, Moslem arid American Indian prophecieS relating to the retur,n of the Messiah,. The basis of all these God-given religions is the same although man has 'distorted and corrupted their teachings through- out the ages, causing prejtidice; dissension and war. Baha'u'llah was sent by God to teach and .promulgate the Unity Of mankind by pointing out the superficiality of such differences as race,, colour, creed and ethnic origin. In order to. His dk;ine mission I will c'nceritrate"primarily on Biblical references:* Isaiah foretold that for those of the •House of Israel who Were ___faithful to the enti'44thtiglory of the Tord ,shall be thy reward". (Isa. 58:8) The Persian •name Baha'u'l- lah means' "Glory :of the. Lord's or "Glory of God" bn trabslation in English. • Ezekiel prophesied: "And, the glory of the Lord came inte house by way of the gate who e prospect is toward •the East." (Eiek: 43:4) Baha'u'llah came from Persia,, east of Israel. . He came by way of the Bab (meaning "Gate= in English) Whip, like John the. Baptist, foretold the adVent of one greater 'than himself. 'And Baha'n'llab!S name means "Glory .of the'Lord" or "Glory of God". In the, book of Revelation, St. -John, in his vision of the new heaven, the new earth and the new Jerusalem prophesied: "And the cityhad no need of the sup, neither: Of the moon, to shine in it': for the-, glory of God did lighten (Rev. 21: . 23): Christ himself foretold this day of the new JerusaleM when 'he would return in the' glory of -the Father.

BACKWARDS • THROUGH THE rSENTINEL FILES WITH MARGARET THOMPSON ,•••••4a•••••••••‘•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••4 Dear Mr, Editor, This letter is in resp'onse to the letter to the' editor written by Mr. Murray Vandriel in the Deceniber 24th issue of the Lucknow Sentinel; First of all I would like to point out that the Baha'i Faith, is not 'a sect or Offshoot of any religion, but an independent world religion with its'own Divine. Messenger (Baha4 'u'llah)', its' own sacred scriptures, its own' lavvs, its own administrative institutions and, its,own holy places. The aim of Baha'u'llah• is . not 'to destroy but to fulfill •the Revela tions of the past, to reconcile rather than to accentuate the divergencies of the conflicting creeds which disrupt our • modern society. His purpose is ' to restate' the , basic truths enshrined in the teachings of the Prophets gene before in manner that will conform to arid be relevant to the • problems and difficulties of the present age, an age which differs greatly from the age in -which Christ was, made Manifest by •God. • thrist was 'changing the place of worship which had been sacred to her people from .ancient times and she rebuked him saying: "Our Fathers worshipped in this moun-, tain; and ye say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship." (John '4:20) . Christ answered het saying: "Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, 'when ye shall neither in thr mountain,' nor yet at Jerusale 'worship the father." (John 4:21). The Baha'i holy shrines overlook the plain of Sharon on one side and the Mediterranean Sea on the, other from the vantage point of Mount Carmel'which. in .the days of Christ • was a dry lonely area where 'the Sparsest of vegetation grew. Today this desert area grows magnificent . . CONTINUED ON PAGE .19
