To Him [ Bahá’u’lláh] Isaiah, the greatest of the Jewish prophets, had alluded as
- the “Glory of the Lord,”
- the “Everlasting Father,”
- the “Prince of Peace,”
- the “Wonderful,”
- the “Counsellor,”
- the “Rod come forth out of the stem of Jesse” and
- the “Branch grown out of His roots,”
- Who “shall be established upon the throne of David,”
- Who “will come with strong hand,”
- Who “shall judge among the nations,”
- Who “shall smite the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips slay the wicked,” and
- Who “shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.”
- Shoghi Effendi ('God Passes By')
