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. A- Samaritran woman
objected strongly to the fact .that

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
