Baha'u'llah's name means "Glory of the Lord", or "Glory of God." He came to Israel from the east, for His birth place is Tihran, Persia (now Iran), which is directly east of Israel. And He did come by way of the "gate." Like Christ, Baha'u'llah also had a herald. Christ's herald was John the Baptist. Baha'u'llah's herald, who was a Prophet in His own right, was a young man called "The Bab." This title, when translated into English, means "the Gate." The Bab prepared the way for Baha'u'llah, Whom he described as Him Whom God shall make manifest.
(15:7)
