Bahá’u’lláh: The Glory of God

Bahá’u’lláh is the Messenger of God for this age and the Promised One of all religions. Because of His Teachings, he was considered a heretic and apostate by the clergy and government of His time. He suffered 40 years of imprisonment and exile from Persia to 'Akká, Israel, where He passed away in 1892. He revealed enough scripture to fill over one hundred volumes.

His Mission began in the Siyah-Chal, the "black pit" dungeon of Tehran, a place "foul beyond comparison," 125 feet underground, where He bore a 100-pound chain around His neck, and was deprived of clean air, food, and water during this initial four month imprisonment. He publicly declared His Mission in the Garden of Ridvan in Baghdad in 1863.

"Bahá'u'lláh would undergo four successive exiles. Each one more severe than the previous… At the end of His Exiles, Bahá'u'lláh would arrive on the side of the Mountain of God, Mount Carmel, in the Holy Land. This was the Site destined for Him in the sacred Scriptures since the beginning of time."
