2nd Coming of Christ by -D. Yamartino- 14 Para
Chapter of  19

Micah (15:8)

In that day also he shall come even to thee from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the fortress even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.. (15:9)

Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thine heritage, which dwell solitarily in the wood, in the midst of Carmel: (15:10)

According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt will I shew unto him marvellous things. (mic 7:12,14-15) (15:11) see

Baha'u'llah came from Assyria, which was an ancient empire that included parts of Iran, Iraq, Turkey, and what is now Israel. Baha'u'llah was born in Iran and was exiled to Iraq, to two cities in Turkey, and finally to the prison city of 'Akka, in the north of what is now Israel. (15:12)

Baha'u'llah came from the fortified cities: He was exiled to the cities of Constantinople and 'Akka, both of which had enormous fortifications built around them. (15:13)

Baha'u'llah came from the fortress even to the river: After Baha'u'llah was released from the mighty prison of 'Akka, while still a Prisoner in that region, He would at times visit a garden outside of the city. He named this garden "Paradise." It was surrounded on both sides by the river Belus, which had split into two streams at that point before flowing into the Mediterranean Sea. There He would delight in the beauty of nature, of which He had been deprived for so many years due to His incarceration. (15:14)

Baha'u'llah came from sea to sea: When exiled from Baghdad to Constantinople, He sailed on the Black Sea, and when exiled from Adrianople to 'Akka, in the north of Israel, He crossed the Mediterranean Sea. He, the Glory of the Lord, had arrived in the Holy Land by way of the east-driven there by His enemies, who, though they were attempting to eliminate Him and extinguish His Faith, were fulfilling the prophecies of the Old and New Testaments. (15:15)

Baha'u'llah came from mountain to mountain: Just as Jesus withdrew into the wilderness at the beginning of His mission, so Baha'u'llah also withdrew, after receiving His revelation, for a period of two years. He went into the mountains of Kurdistan, in northeastern Iraq. He lived for some time in utter seclusion on a mountain called Sar Galu. Also, towards the end of His earthly life, while in the Holy Land, Baha'u'llah pitched His tent on Mount Carmel, as mentioned by Micah. "Carmel" means "Vineyard of the Lord," and He, the Lord of the Vineyard (mrk 12:9), while standing in the vicinity of the Cave of Elijah, revealed the Tablet of Carmel, in which He states: (15:16) see

Call out to Zion, O Carmel, and announce the joyful tidings: He that was hidden from mortal eyes is come! His all-conquering sovereignty is manifest; His all-encompassing splendour is revealed. (tbh 4) (15:17)

Micah's prophecy gives the exact time period that the Promised One will feed His flock. He says that it will be according to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt. The Jews wandered for 40 years after coming out of Egypt. Baha'u'llah's mission lasted from 1852 to 1892-exactly 40 years-during which Baha'u'llah revealed the teachings and guidance He received from God. His Teachings deal with the spiritual, social and economic welfare of humanity. Thus, for 40 years, God showed to Baha'u'llah marvelous things, which He fed to His flock. (15:18)

Another prophecy of Micah refers to the Second Coming:
But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. (15:19)

And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths. (mic 4:1-2) (15:20) see

In the Tablet of Carmel Baha'u'llah ordained that the world center of His Faith would be established on Mount Carmel. The supreme governing body of His Faith, the Universal House of Justice, which is democratically elected every five years, now directs the afeairs of His Faith. Baha'u'llah states that this institution is divinely guided and protected. Its seat is a beautiful structure situated within magnificent gardens on Mount Carmel. It is visited by peoples of all nations. (15:21)
