In the words of His Son:
*The Blessed Perfection was a prisoner twenty-five years. During all this time He was subjected to the indignities and revilement of the people. He was persecuted, mocked and put in chains. In Iran His properties were pillaged and His possessions confiscated. First, banishment from Iran to Baghdad; then to Constantinople; then Adrianople; finally from Roumelia to the prison fortress of 'AkkĂĄ.
During His lifetime He was intensely active. His energy was unlimited. Scarcely one night was passed in restful sleep. He bore these ordeals, suffered these calamities and difficulties in order that a manifestation of selflessness and service might become apparent in the world of humanity; that the Most Great Peace should become a reality; that human souls might appear as the angels of heaven; that heavenly miracles would be wrought among men; that human faith should be strengthened and perfected; that the precious, priceless bestowal of God, the human mind, might be developed to its fullest capacity in the temple of the body; and man become the reflection and likeness of God, even as it hath been revealed in the Bible: âWe shall create man in Our own image.â
Briefly; the Blessed Perfection bore all these ordeals and calamities in order that our hearts might become enkindled and radiant, our spirits be glorified, our faults become virtues, our ignorance transformed into knowledge; in order that we might attain the real fruits of humanity and acquire heavenly graces; although pilgrims upon earth we should travel the road of the heavenly kingdom; although needy and poor we might receive the treasures of life eternal. For this has He borne these difficulties and sorrows.

âWhilst declining such wealthy position and income, BahĂĄâuâllĂĄh showed astonishing generosity. The doors of His home were open to all, and He always had many guests, giving abundantly to all in need. He was a refuge for every weak one, a shelter for the fearful one, kind to the destitute, and lenient and loving to all creatures. This unbounded generosity amazed everyone, as He did not use it to promote His position; rather, it was clear to everyone that such free generosity would quickly cause His wealth to disappear entirely. The more spiritually-minded saw in these acts His attraction to the celestial realm of God and a great destiny to comeâ.

Even if BahĂĄâuâllĂĄh was a saint that still doesnât bring him up to the level of the second coming of Jesus, we need miracles for that at least.Iâm sorry but BahĂĄâuâllĂĄh life was nothing extraordinary.

Asking for miracles is seeking that which is worldly, that which perisheth:Even if BahĂĄâuâllĂĄh was a saint that still doesnât bring him up to the level of the second coming of Jesus, we need miracles for that at least.Iâm sorry but BahĂĄâuâllĂĄh life was nothing extraordinary.
God will never respond to such worldly things:
Asking for miracles is following the Devilâs example:
Bahaâuâllah performed many miracles. A believer compiled them all into a big book presented it to Bahaâuâllah in Baghdad. Bahaâuâllah took the book and threw it into the River Tigris.
Only God would be so sure of Himself that He can convey His Mission to all without the need to have miracles as proof.

He was Foretold by Shaykh Ahmad before He was Born and as he was being BornEven if BahĂĄâuâllĂĄh was a saint that still doesnât bring him up to the level of the second coming of Jesus, we need miracles for that at least.Iâm sorry but BahĂĄâuâllĂĄh life was nothing extraordinary.
Birth of BahĂĄâuâllĂĄh - BahĂĄâuâllĂĄhâs father had seven wives, and a great many children through them. At dawn, on the second day of the Islamic Year, on 12 November 1817, his wife Khadijih Khanum gave birth to the eldest of her surviving sons.
At that very same moment, Shaykh Ahmad, who announced the coming of the BĂĄb and BahĂĄâuâllĂĄh, was found fallen upon his face, repeating in wrapt devotion the words, âGod is Great!â and saying, âThat which I have been announcing to you is now revealed. At this very hour the light of the Promised One has broken, and is shedding illumination upon the world.â Given the name of Husayn-'Ali, as the Child grew from an infant into adulthood, He astounded all who encountered Him, and would later, as BahĂĄâuâllĂĄh, change the face of history.
The story of the execution for treason of a large number of Jews, one day came before BahĂĄâuâllĂĄhâs eyes, and He was so moved, so profoundly filled with sadness and grief. Yet He felt surging before Him the limitless ocean of Godâs mercy and forgiveness, and He implored God to grant in the world the establishment of unity and love.
Transfiguration - A short while after, suddenly before dawn, BahĂĄâuâllĂĄh was overcome by a transfiguration, lasting for twelve days, unceasingly, bringing glad-tidings of the highest success and joy. Entirely transforming His manners, thought and speech, from thenafter the ocean of His words began to surge, and the sun of assurance shone forth from Him.
By the time he was thirteen, BahĂĄâuâllĂĄh was renowned for His ability to discuss any matter, and resolve any problem presented before Him.
He was always courteous and patient, and only the disrespectful reference to a Messenger or Chosen One of God was able to arouse His displeasure; even then, He would address the offender with kindliness and calm.
He appeared before large gatherings in discussions with the leading clergy, resolving intricate religious questions, whilst everyone paid deep attention and interest, and His explanations became the authoritative word on every matter.
BahĂĄâuâllĂĄhâs sister asked their father if he would seek Asiyih for BahĂĄâuâllĂĄh: and so their marriage took place in October 1835. BahĂĄâuâllĂĄh was called âthe Father of the Poor,â whilst Asiyih was named âthe Mother of Consolation.â

When I was with you, I certainly gave you proof that I am an apostle. For I patiently did many signs and wonders and miracles among you.Asking for miracles is seeking that which is worldly, that which perisheth:

Yes because as a proof not worth the Paper they are written on. It they were posted all you would get is rejection anyway. Or they would be this or they would be that, already seen it on other threads.When I was with you, I certainly gave you proof that I am an apostle. For I patiently did many signs and wonders and miracles among you.
2 Corinthians 12:12
So BahĂĄâuâllĂĄh threw the proof of his miracles in a river to better convey his Mission that nobody has ever heard of.
To put an end to this insatiable desire for miracles, Bahaâuâllah did agree to perform a miracle for all to witness, one they could all choose, agree upon and bring to Him. Upon performing what was asked oh Him they in turn had to accept the Message of Bahaâuâllah.
They did no front up as they could not choose and feared that Bahaâuâllah would in some way acheive what they had asked, thus once and for all thrown out the door for evermore as a necessary or required proof of any Manifestation of God.
The real Miracle is changing the Heart of the People and that continues to happen daily.

One should never ASK for the proof.

Jesus also requested His miracles not to be shared with anyone. There was a reason for this. Bahaâuâllah similarly did not want His miracles to be shared to the world.

So if someone had compiled a big book of Jesusâs miracles and presented it to him, and he threw it in a River⌠nobody would know of Jesusâs miracles ?Bahaâuâllah performed many miracles.

First of all, nowhere does it say that Jesus encouraged people to ask Him for a miracle.
Secondly, the âworksâ of Jesus were not His miracles.

Yes we do believe Jesus was God, just not a made up version of God that is unBiblical, like an âuncreatedâ essence of GodâŚBut you donât believe that Jesus was God, so you donât believe anyway.
