Baha'u'llah has, if fact, fulfilled biblical prophecy. But before we can see how His life relates to prophecy we must `first' examine and understand its spiritual significance. We should keep in mind that the Jews did not realize that Christ had fulfilled the prophecies because they did not perceive the real significance of His station. this problem is only one of the reasons why prophecy is not a very conclusive form of proof. (125:2) Many prophecies, as in the Book of Revelation, are written in a very symbolic manner. How can we be sure we are interpreting these complex and mysterious prophecies correctly in order to know whether or not they have in fact come true? Even among Christians scholars there are numerous debates concerning the meaning of such prophecies.
(125:3)
