Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
Daniel Ch. 12, V. 12
And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.
Zechariah Ch. 3, Vs. 6-7
Blessed is he who hath remained faithful to My Covenant, and whom the things of the world have not kept back from attaining My Court of holiness.
Bahau’u’llah, LAWḤ-I-AQDAS (The Most Holy Tablet)
And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.
Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, thou, and thy fellows that sit before thee: for they are men wondered at: for, behold, I will bring forth my servant the BRANCH.
For behold the stone that I have laid before Joshua; upon one stone shall be seven eyes: behold, I will engrave the graving thereof, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.
In that day, saith the LORD of hosts, shall ye call every man his neighbour under the vine and under the fig tree.
Zechariah Chapter 3, Holy Bible, KJV
And the Lord shewed me Jesus the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord: and Satan stood on his right hand to be his adversary.
And the Lord said to Satan: The Lord rebuke thee, O Satan: and the Lord that chose Jerusalem rebuke thee: Is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
And Jesus was clothed with filthy garments: and he stood before the face of the angel.
Who answered, and said to them that stood before him, saying: Take away the filthy garments from him. And he said to him: Behold I have taken away thy iniquity, and have clothed thee with change of garments.
And he said: Put a clean mitre upon his head: and they put a clean mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments, and the angel of the Lord stood.
And the angel of the Lord protested to Jesus, saying:
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: If thou wilt walk in my ways, and keep my charge, thou also shalt judge my house, and shalt keep my courts, and I will give thee some of them that are now present here to walk with thee.
Hear, O Jesus thou high priest, thou and thy friends that dwell before thee, for they are portending men: for behold I WILL BRING MY SERVANT THE ORIENT.
For behold the stone that I have laid before Jesus: upon one stone there are seven eyes: behold I will grave the graving thereof, saith the Lord of hosts: and I will take away the iniquity of that land in one day.
In that day, saith the Lord of hosts, every man shall call his friend under the vine and under the fig tree.
Zacharias (Zechariah) Chapter 3, Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible
Blessed he who hath attired his head with the diadem of My love. Blessed is he who hath heard of My grief and hath arisen to aid Me among My people. Blessed is he who hath laid down his life in My path and hath borne manifold hardships for the sake of My Name. Blessed the man who, assured of My Word, hath arisen from among the dead to celebrate My praise. Blessed is he that hath been enraptured by My wondrous melodies and hath rent the veils asunder through the potency of My might. Blessed is he who hath remained faithful to My Covenant, and whom the things of the world have not kept back from attaining My Court of holiness. Blessed is the man who hath detached himself from all else but Me, hath soared in the atmosphere of My love, hath gained admittance into My Kingdom, gazed upon My realms of glory, quaffed the living waters of My bounty, hath drunk his fill from the heavenly river of My loving providence, acquainted himself with My Cause, apprehended that which I concealed within the treasury of My Words, and hath shone forth from the horizon of divine knowledge engaged in My praise and glorification. Verily, he is of Me. Upon him rest My mercy, My loving-kindness, My bounty and My glory.
Baha’u’llah, Tablets of Baha’u’llah, Lawh-I-Aqdas/The Most Holy Tablet, Para. 23
THE ADVENT OF THE CITY OF GOD,
THE NEW JERUSALEM,
WITH THE STREET OF THE CITY
THAT WAS PURE GOLD [1]
THE prophecies for the establishment of the Holy City in America is as old as the hills. Isaiah tells us the way Jesus will come from the mountains in the Northwest:
Thus saith the LORD, In an acceptable time have I heard thee [Jesus], and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages [David’s lineage]; That thou mayest say to the prisoners [in the Montana State Prison], Go forth; to them that are in darkness [the Christians and the Covenant-breaking Baha’is], Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places…. And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted. Behold, these shall come from far [America]: and, lo, these from the north and from the west [northwest]; and these from the land [Leland] of Sinim. (Isaiah 49:8, 9, 11, 12)
Montana is a northern state bordering on Canada. Deer Lodge is in the Rocky Mountains in the far west of Montana, fulfilling the prophecy of coming in the mountains of the north and west. There are numerable prophecies concerning Jesus coming in the west and in America and in Deer Lodge.
Two Mountains of Brass
The Mormons thought that Jesus would come to the Mormon Temple in Salt Lake City in Utah. But George Williams, who was associated with the Mormons, prophesied and had visions that showed Jesus coming in the Deer Lodge Valley, Montana where the Temple of God, the City of the Great King, the New Jerusalem, is to be built. In Hebrew the word for copper and brass is the same. On either end of the Deer Lodge Valley (where the prison is located in the city of Deer Lodge) are the world’s two largest mountains of Copper: Lincoln and Butte, Montana.
AND I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass. (Zechariah 6:1)
Butte is called the ‘Richest Hill on earth.’ In 1900 Butte produced about one-quarter of the United States’ copper output and one-seventh of the world’s! [2] Butte is also called the city a mile high and a mile deep. It is a mile high in the Rocky Mountains and a mile deep with copper mines. Likewise, it is known that Lincoln, Montana has even more copper than Butte, though it hasn’t been tapped yet.
It is between these two mountains of brass that the Old Montana Prison in Deer Lodge fulfills the prophecy for the seven-towered temple of Ezekiel’s Temple where Jesus II enters through the eastern gate of Tower #7 between the two pillars of Jachin and Boaz (Jesus and Baha’u’llah).
From the prison in Deer Lodge between these two mountains of brass (Lincoln and Butte), the chariots of God and His heavenly army, led by the return of Jesus, will gather to be sent out into the world proclaiming the good news of the establishment of the Kingdom of God:
In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot black horses; and in the third chariot white horses; and in the fourth chariot grizzled and bay horses. Then I answered and said unto the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord? …These are the four spirits of the heavens, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth. (Zechariah 6:2-5)
The Morrisites and George Williams
The MORRISITES get their name from Joseph Morris. He appeared on the scene at the height of the great Mormon reformation of 1856. [3] It was his mission, much like that of the great reformer Martin Luther, to separate a group of pure-hearted people from the mainstream Mormon church which by that time had deviated from its course. The MORRISITES consider the reformer Morris as only the martyr foreshadower, or forerunner, of their true prophet, George Williams. [4]
Ten years after the Mormons entered the Great Salt Lake area in Utah, in 1857, they had become very corrupt under the leadership of Brigham Young. The main corruption of the Mormons was polygamy. Federal Court ruled that this practice was started by Brigham Young, not by Joseph Smith [5] and wasn’t announced by Brigham Young as an official Mormon practice until 1852, eight years after Smith had died. The purpose of this was so Brigham Young could marry a lot of rich widows and get their money and land. He would send a young man who was married and had some rich possessions and land to a foreign country, and then marry his wife and appropriate his land and belongings to himself.
Joseph Morris rose up at this time against the corruption of Brigham Young. He was a relatively unknown Mormon like Martin Luther who, in his day, was just one simple monk against the great Pope. Like Luther, Morris had no intention of starting his own religion. He just wanted to reform the Mormon Church in Utah and get rid of all their corruption so they could continue on their true path. However, Brigham Young refused to reform, just like the Pope refused to reform to Martin Luther. Brigham Young decided that he had to get rid of Morris and rub him out. Martin Luther, when he made his declaration, found protection from the Pope under the eight German princes. As long as the U.S. government army remained in the Utah territory, Morris was safe. However, in 1862 with the outbreak of the Civil War, the U.S. army pulled out of Utah, and Brigham Young and his Mormon militia took over. They ruthlessly murdered Joseph Morris and several other MORRISITES, ranking the MORRISITES war right up there with the Mountain Meadows Massacre a few years earlier.
As the Brighamite Sheriff Burton, riding roughshod into the MORRISITES camp at Kingston Fort, tried to run Joseph Morris down with his horse, he said, “I want no more of your apostasy” [6] (clearly showing that the conflict was purely religious in nature), and then shot Morris dead.
THE MILITARY ESCORT OF THE MORRISITES
by Neal Chase
On June 15th, 1862, Joseph Morris was murdered under the direct orders of Brigham Young. At that time the United States Army had already withdrawn from the Utah territory in July of 1861 to fight the Civil War and the Mormon militia under the iron-fisted control of Brigham Young had taken over full power.
The legal writs, warrants and other government authorizations issued to empower the Mormon militia for the murder of Morris were all orchestrated and controlled by Brigham Young through the force of his three main agents: Sheriff Robert T. Burton, who did the actual killing; Judge John F. Kinney, who issued the writs; and Acting Governor Frank Fuller, who placed his seal of approval on the executive order to kill Joseph Morris.
Sheriff Burton was a known pawn and dirty-jobber for Brigham Young. Judge Kinney publicly stated that he was in Brigham’s pocket. And acting Governor Fuller was a devout Mormon and follower of Young’s.
The Morrisite slaughter was the final atrocity on top of previous abominations of the Mormons such as the Mountain Meadows Massacre, the murder of the Aiken party—another bloody episode—and other heinous crimes that moved the Lincoln Administration, despite the immediate concerns imposed by the Civil War, to re-occupy the Utah Territory and protect the remaining Morrisites from any harm and danger from the violent threats and acts of Brigham Young and his Mormon killers.
Immediately after the murder of Morris and the arraignment of the surviving Morrisites in the court of Judge Kinney, Acting Governor Fuller was relieved of duty on July 7th, 1862, with the arrival of newly appointed Governor Stephen S. Harding.
Harding was instantly revolted by the slaughter—an oppressive religious war within the territory orchestrated by Young—and immediately set out to get to the truth of the matter. This ended in Harding granting a full exoneration of all charges against the Morrisites as well as the issuance of a strong report back to Washington reaching Abraham Lincoln through the Secretary of State. Lincoln then ordered the Union soldiers back into the Utah territory, under the leadership of General Patrick Edward Connor, to protect the Morrisite people from further harm. These actions by Lincoln completely infuriated Brigham Young who lashed out at the President from the pulpit in a feverish tirade.
…and as for those whom Abraham Lincoln has sent here [Connor’s troops] if they meddle with our domestic affairs I will send them to hell across lots; and as for those apostates [the Morrisites] running around here, they will probably fall down and their bowels will gush out, or they will bleed somewhere else. (Holy Murder: The Story of Porter Rockwell by Kelly and Birney, pp. 219, 220)
Despite the loud threats, General Connor fulfilled his mission by personally overseeing that the Morrisite wagon trains safely left the Utah Territory on May 5th, 1863 with a full military escort! One wagon train went south to Carson City, Nevada, while the other train led by Connor moved north to Soda Springs, Idaho, where the Morrisites built a settlement that they named Morris Town.
It was at this time that George Williams came onto the scene with his visions of the return of Jesus to be in the Deer Lodge Valley in Montana.
George Williams was never a Morrisite. He always remained a Mormon. It was the MORRISITES, however, who listened to his prophecies and followed his instructions to move to Deer Lodge. Williams was a farmer living in Salt Lake City, but as Brigham Young was looking to do with him as he did with Joseph Morris, Williams moved from Utah back to his native England. [7]
The First Vision
On April 15th, 1862, while riding on his horse in the mountains of Utah, Williams was overcome by a majestic visitation from the north in the direction of Deer Lodge in which he saw the return of Jesus leading the armies of heaven, riding ‘a countless host of horses’ out from between two ‘massive pillars of light.’ These two massive pillars correspond to the two mountains of brass from which the four chariots of the armies of heaven are prophesied to come forth in Zechariah chapter 6. The two mountains of brass are Lincoln and Butte, Montana. Lincoln is on the north and Butte is on the south of the Deer Lodge Valley.
His first vision was first circulated in handwritten form and was later published by John Eardley in 1899 in a book containing Williams’ prophecies and visions entitled Gems of Inspiration. Williams writes:—
After leading a blameless life, and searching after the treasures of eternity, through the gospel of Christ, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, I was on the 15th day of April AD 1862, riding on my spirited mare by the slope of the western range of mountains, near Hacker’s Canyon, in Salt Lake Valley, Utah, when snow began to fall in a marvelous manner. A cloud appeared in the north and became agitated, and speedily formed an enormous archway, spanning the entire valley.
On each side of this arch were massive pillars of light, constructed with fine skill, and folding doors studded with golden bolts. Beholding this heavenly appearance, I alighted from my horse, and allowed it to escape. While meditating this scene, the eyes of my understanding were opened by the spirit of God, so as to understand the things of God as they were from eternity.
The folding doors were thrown back, and the highway to the eternal worlds was opened before me, and a voice strengthened me saying: “fear not, thou greatly beloved of the Lord, these are they that form a portion of the armies of heaven.” Beyond the folding doors I saw a countless host of horses, and they who sat upon them had on breast-plates of fire, and diamonds, and helmets of precious stones, and out of the nostrils of the horses came fire and smoke, and their riders had large swords, and their faces were lightened as the sun…. (cited from Joseph Morris and the Saga of the Morrisites by C. Leroy Anderson, pp. 174-5)
In the spring of 1863, corresponding exactly to the time of Baha’u’llah’s Proclamation in the Garden of Ridvan on April 21st, 1863, George Williams, following the direction of God, proclaimed himself to the Morrisite community and declared that Deer Lodge was the sacred spot foreordained in all the books of God to be the site for the Heavenly City, the “City, of the Great King” which is described in the Book of Revelation and the Bible as the “New Jerusalem.”
At once with joyful hearts and renewed vigor the seemingly beaten band of Morrisites were now set aglow with a new zeal, for they had been saved and redeemed just as Morris had promised they would be after the great Morrisite killings of 1862! Now with the true vision of the seer Williams, they triumphantly gathered their scant material possessions and moved to the Deer Lodge Valley, for them the home of the Promised Land! Some moved directly to Deer Lodge while others moved to Soda Springs, Idaho and Council Bluffs, Iowa, later to join the rest of them in Deer Lodge.
Here they built the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, and paved the streets with pure gold (Revelation 21:21), and the city was pure gold (Revelation 21:18). The city was built foursquare, its length, breadth and heighth are equal (Revelation 21:16). The city of Deer Lodge is one mile wide, one mile long and one mile high—a cube—that is, it is one mile above sea level. And they have a river of gold flowing a little way west of Deer Lodge called Gold Creek.
Most of the Morrisites upon arriving in the Deer Lodge Valley went to work in the placer gold mines, and they were paid in gold, which they used to pay for the building of the streets and the city. Thus the city and the streets were paid for with gold, or, in other words, they were paved with gold.
After hearing Williams’ great announcement, the first Morrisites moved to Montana in the spring of 1863, the same year that the Deer Lodge Town Company platted the city of Deer Lodge, Montana as a perfect square mile (640 acres).
By the 1870s the majority of the rest of the Morrisites joined their friends in Deer Lodge to await the return of Jesus in that city, “the City of the Great King.” Williams told the Morrisites to build a Temple in Deer Lodge with stones from the surrounding mountains, for Jesus would come and enter the Temple. He said that they should look for him at the temple on August the 9th. The Morrisites never built the Temple; instead they built a small wooden church, not in Deer Lodge, but about 5 miles south of Deer Lodge where they assembled every year in a great event on August 9th.
Whereas the State of Montana built the Temple for them from the rocks and stones from the surrounding mountains. The return of Jesus entered that Temple in the evening of August 8th, 1969, when he, Leland—the Land—entered the Montana State Prison, placed there by God, and he spent his first full day in that Temple on August 9th, 1969. At the same time the Morrisites were assembled at their wooden church, waiting there for Jesus. The prophecy of Williams was for them to look for him on August the 9th at the Temple built of stones from the surrounding mountains, not at a wooden church. Thus the Morrisites missed the return of Jesus because they were looking for him in the wrong place, in a wooden church south of Deer Lodge, whereas Jesus was prophesied to come in the Temple in the City of Gold of the Great King.
August 9th, 1969 was the last time the Morrisites met and looked for the return of Jesus.[8] However, he had already come, unbeknownst to them, in the Temple inside the City of Gold. If they had followed the instructions of Williams more carefully they would not have missed their hearts’ desire. They didn’t expect for him to come in prison although he was prophesied by both Williams and Jesus on his first coming that he would return in prison and he would separate the sheep from the goats.
Williams’ Other Visions
Williams was specifically clear that it would be the return of Jesus the High Priest after the Order of Melchizedec (see Hebrews, chapters 5, 6 and 7), and not the second coming of Christ (which is Baha’u’llah, the descendant of David), who would appear in Deer Lodge! Thus Williams’ prophecy of the return of Jesus in prison was specifically referring to the return of Jesus the High Priest, and he entitles his prophecy “the high priesthood returns.” Williams and the Morrisites were really into the return of Jesus being of the Order of Melchizedec (as the High Priest), and they held that Williams was the one representing him at their time. This clarifies that it was not Jesus Christ, but Jesus the High Priest after the Order of Melchizedec who Williams prophesies:
You also wish to know something of Melchizedec—the real Melchizedec [Jesus the High Priest], not one representing him [Williams]. Now mark the first time we hear of him, he declared to be the King of Salem or Peace. Here is brought out the bread and wine to Abraham, our faithful friend and brother. It is not written what was said at this interview; but I have not doubt it would be the same as said to the 12, at his last supper when he [9] takes the bread and also the cup saying: “Take, eat and drink, all of you, for this is my body broken, and my blood shed for you.” There he stood [Jesus the High Priest] without a scar. (George Williams’ letter to Erasmussen, December 27, 1881)
Williams gives the astounding fact that the return of Jesus the High Priest (after the Order of Melchizedec) will be from the royal line (genealogy) of the Kings of Denmark. Most of the Morrisites were Danes (of the tribe of Dan) that had migrated to Danmark. The Danes were different from the Christians and the Mormons in that they were not waiting for Jesus to descend from the sky, but would be born from the lineage of the Kings of Danmark, or Denmark. Dr. Leland Jensen is a full-blooded Dane on both his mother’s (Petersen) and his father’s (Jensen) side. His father’s line goes back to the royalty of Denmark, fulfilling Williams’ prophecy.
Williams gives the clearest picture of all! Unlike the ridiculous myths of the majority of Christians waiting for Jesus to come down out of the physical sky on a physical cloud, the Morrisites were awaiting the return of Jesus for over 100 years as a descendant of the Kings of Denmark, a real person, to be imprisoned in the city of Deer Lodge in a stone building that was both a prison and Ezekiel’s seven-towered Temple. He would be wearing a “dirty garment” as his charge, which the Bab and Baha’u’llah, though in prison, did not have. He would arrive on the day of August 9th of 1969. Williams said that he knew his new name (which we know is Leland: the Land, Ha Eretz; see Zechariah 3:9), but he says it was not for him to reveal. And that his mission as the High Priest after the Order of Melchizedec was to open the scroll of the Covenant and to go by the Law of the Book of the Covenant (Will and Testament) in order to establish his Father’s Kingdom.
As a capstone to this brief segment of Williams’ prophecies is a most remarkable vision of all, of special interest to Baha’is as well as all the people of the world. In an astounding vision in which Muhammad appeared to George Williams, he was instructed to send a messenger from Deer Lodge to Constantinople and rebuke the Sultan of the Turkish Empire, Abdu’l-Aziz, who is the one that imprisoned Baha’u’llah unjustly. Williams prophesies that the Ottoman Empire will be torn down for this evil deed and that the Sultan will lose his power, which he did. The most astounding feature of the vision of Muhammad is that at the end of it Williams hears a multitude of angels singing the most beautiful sound he had ever heard, “Allah’u’Abha! Allah’u’Abha!” over and over again:
Cainan [George Williams] bowed consent and then a pause. Muhammad said, “My time is expired. Farewell.” I heard now a loud rushing, it seemed of a thousand voices, the most distinctive sound was Allah Abbah. This proceeded from the same body of light that swept past taking my visitor which I watched till I could see no more. And the voices left their memory, the sweetest ever mortal heard. (George Williams’ Vision of Muhammad, 1867)
Thus in this vision Williams received the Most Great Name brought by Baha’u’llah and Baha’u’llah alone, showing that he had attained, as Baha’u’llah has written: the true station which every Baha’i can attain is that of an Old Testament prophet.
Like Jesus Christ and Baha’u’llah who had John the Baptist and the Bab, respectively, as their forerunners, Dr. Leland Jensen has George Williams and the Morrisites. The entire Deer Lodge Valley was pioneered and settled specifically for his coming so that all the people of the world could be absolutely assured through this proof that he is the authentic and bona fide establisher of the Baha’i Faith, authorized to re-establish what the Covenant-breaking “Hands” threw out—the genuine IBC/UHJ with the Davidic Kingship as the president and member for life of that body.
The purpose of these prophecies is to establish beyond any doubt whatsoever (through proofs) what the true and full station, mission and authority of Dr. Jensen is as the authentic establisher of the Baha’i faith. The fulfillment of prophecy is given by ‘Abdu’l-Baha in Some Answered Questions as the bona fide criteria for recognizing the authenticity of the Promised Ones.[10] When we see that they fulfill the prophecies from a number of established sources, like the Biblical proofs given for Jesus on his first coming and those for the coming of Baha’u’llah, then we can see they are authentic and we can believe in them, as authenticity is the criteria for believability. God has been very gracious in sending His Son back at this time of great trouble just before the great catastrophe, guiding those pure souls that had been hoodwinked and bamboozled into following false leaders such as the clergy of the various religions and the Covenant-breaking “Hands” of the Baha’i faith along with their created monster (without a head) Universal House of Justice.
The Return of Jesus is not a Manifestation
Consider thou the Day of Resurrection. Were God to pronounce the lowliest of creatures among the faithful to be the First One to believe in the Bayan, thou shouldst have no misgivings about it and must be of them that truly believe. In this station look not upon human limitations and names but rather upon that whereby the rank of the First One to believe is vindicated, which is faith in God, and recognition of His being and assurance in the fulfillment of His irresistible and binding command.
Consider thou the Revelation of the Point of the Bayan [the Bab]—exalted is His glory. He pronounced the First One to believe in Him [Mulla Husayn] to be Muhammad, the Messenger of God. [Yet Mulla Husayn was not a Manifestation! But a follower of the Manifestation!] Does it beseem a man to dispute with Him by saying that this man is from Persia, the Other from Arabia, or this one was called Husayn while the Other bore the name Muhammad? Nay, I swear by God’s holy Being, the Exalted, the Most Great. Surely no man of intelligence and insight would ever pay attention unto limitations or names, but rather unto that with which Muhammad was invested, which was none other than the Cause of God. Such a man of insight would likewise consider [Mulla] Husayn and the position he occupied in the Cause of God, the Omnipotent, the Exalted, the Knowing, the Wise.
(Tablets of Baha’u’llah, pp. 184, 185)
And since the First One to believe in God in the Dispensation of the Bayan was invested with command similar to that with which Muhammad, the Messenger of God, was invested, therefore the Bab pronounced him to be the latter, namely, his return and resurrection. This station [although Mulla Husayn was not a Manifestation] is sanctified from every limitation or name, and naught can be seen therein but God, the One, the Peerless, the All-Knowing.
The Bab was the Promised Manifestation of Islam, and therefore Mullah Husayn, the First One to fully believe and comprehend his Revelation, was invested with the station of being the return and resurrection of Muhammad, although Mullah Husayn was not himself a Manifestation of God like the Bab, but was, rather, his follower. The coming of Baha’u’llah is that of the second coming of Christ, the fulfillment of Christianity, and therefore, the First One in this Great Revelation, the establisher of the Baha’i Faith, holds the station of the return and resurrection of Jesus without being a Manifestation of God, the same as Mulla Husayn was not a Manifestation of God yet was the return of Muhammad.
