Since Baha'u'llah's earthly life ended.. we can neither see.. "His own self," nor can we hear His revelation from Him personally.. Therefore, "the word He hath revealed,".. are His primary testimony in the world today. Referring to verses of Scripture, Baha'u'llah writes: (102:1) no testimony mightier than the testimony of their revealed verses hath ever appeared upon the earth. (kiq 206) (102:2) ..Claims to be a Manifestation of God can only be warranted if the person's life and teachings manifest divine qualities that are attributable to God. Divine qualities are evidence of divinity.. (102:3) We must keep in mind, though, that the words themselves do not constituted evidence but, rather, the spiritual meaning and intent conveyed through them.. the words of Scripture convey these teachings both by recording the words revealed.. and by recording their lives..
(102:4)
