In different ways Bahaullah reveals how the Founders of Religions always have been in agreement, below it is expressed again in another way:
This is from Gleanings, paragraph 47:
O, Jews! If ye be intent on crucifying once again Jesus, the Spirit of God, put Me to death, for He hath once more, in My person, been made manifest unto you. Deal with Me as ye wish, for I have vowed to lay down My life in the path of God. I will fear no one, though the powers of the earth and heaven be leagued against Me.
Followers of the Gospel! If ye cherish the desire to slay Muhammed, the Apostle of God, seize Me and put an end to My life, for I am He, and My Self is His Self. Do unto Me as you like, for the deepest longing in My heart is to attain the presence of My Best-Beloved in His Kingdom of Glory.
Such is the divine decree, if ye knew it.
Followers of Muhammad! If it be your wish to riddle with your shafts the breast of Him Who has caused His Book The Bayan to be sent down unto you, lay hands on Me, for I am His All-Beloved, the Revelation of His own Self, though My name be not His name.
I have come in the shadows of the clouds of His glory, and am invested by God with invinceble sovereignty. He verily, is the Truth, the Knower of things unseen....
If ye have resolved to shed the blood of Him Whose coming the Bab hath proclaimed, Whose advent Muhammad hath prophesied, and Whose Revelation Jesus Christ Himself hath announced, behold Me standing, ready and defenseless, before you.....
Bahaullah
In this way Bahaullah is saying He was in the beginning and in the end just like Christ.
Jesus has said in Rev 22:13:
"I am A and O, the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
How can they say this. The answer is , they are speaking with the power of the eternal Holy Spirit, which never undergo change.
Think of the sun, its light is always there, because the sun is always there. The Holy Spirit is as the rays of that spiritual Sun, God.
The plain and clean Mirror is the Messenger of God in this simile.
I myself am content with this explanation. Do you, reader, agree with me?
Bye for now
