Psalm 2:6 “I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8 Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron[
b];
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
It is the Son of God who rules from Zion and who inherits the ends of the earth in Psalm 2 so it must also be the Son in Daniel 7:13,14 who rules the nations forever.
What makes you think that Psalm 2:6 is referring to Jesus?
The Dispensation of Jesus is over and Jesus is never coming back to earth to rule. He said so on multiple occasions.
(John 14:19, John 16:10, John 17:11, John 17:4, John 19:30, John 18:36, John 18:37)
Since Baha'u'llah is the Messiah of the end times, Psalm 2:6 has to be about Him, and that fits together perfectly with Daniel 7:13,14, which is also about Baha'u'llah.

In Judaism, Psalm 2:6 is generally understood as a prophecy about a future Davidic king, often interpreted as the Messiah, who will reign over the entire world from Zion (Jerusalem), signifying God's ultimate dominion over all nations; however, many Jewish commentators, especially in the medieval era, preferred to interpret it as referring directly to King David himself, emphasizing the power and authority God bestowed upon him as the chosen king on Zion.
Interpretation of much of the Bible is very easy and it is very easy to show that Baha'u'llah is not whom he claims to be in the Bible, but that he wants to claim the prophecies about Jesus as being about him (Baha'u'llah). But as I just pointed out, in this case that cannot be.
Interpretation of much of the Bible is very easy and it is very easy to show that Baha'u'llah is who he claims to be by using the Bible coupled with it's fulfillment by Bahaullah, but Christians want to claim the prophecies about Baha'u'llah are about Jesus.
It is the same with Isa 9:1-7. That child sits and rules on the throne of David forever. That is Jesus according to Luke 1:32 and other NT quotes.
So the Bible shows that the claims of Baha'u'llah are not true unless the Bible is not true.
Jesus rules forever in heaven but Jesus will never rule on earth.
(John 14:19, John 16:10, John 17:11, John 17:4, John 19:30, John 18:36, John 18:37)
Baha'u'llah was the Prince of Peace and the Lord of hosts. The following verses fit Baha'u'llah perfectly.
Isaiah 9:6-7 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.
World peace will be established during the dispensation of Baha'u'llah, which will last no less than 1000 years (from 1852 AD, which is when Baha'u'llah received His first revelations from God). Please note that the prophecy does not say 'when' peace will be established, but where it says there shall be no end to the peace that indicates that it won't happen all at once but rather it will unfold gradually. That is exactly what is happening right now. The same is true for the government. It says that there shall be 'no end' to the government which means it will begin and be established gradually and continue to develop over time. The government will be more developed in the future as the prophecy says (increase in government).
Baha’u’llah set up a 'system of government' and it has already been established among the Baha’is. The institutions of that government are fully operational, but still in their infancy. What we now refer to as Local Spiritual assemblies (LSAs) and will eventually evolve into what will be called Houses of Justice.
Jesus resurrection spiritual body was both physical and a spiritual body.
No, there is no such thing as a body that is BOTH physical and spiritual.
1 Corinthians 15
New Living Translation
40 There are also bodies in the heavens and bodies on the earth.
The glory of the heavenly bodies is different from the glory of the earthly bodies.
42 It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. 43 Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength.
44 They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies.
The New Living Translation makes it plain.
1Cor 15:42 It is the same way with the resurrection of the dead. Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever. 43 Our bodies are buried in brokenness, but they will be raised in glory. They are buried in weakness, but they will be raised in strength. 44 They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies. For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies.
It certainly does make it plain.
For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies means that there are two kinds of bodies that are different.
There is no such thing as a hybrid body that is both physical and spiritual
Baha'u'llah claimed to be the Ancient of Days,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, the guy in the Daniel 7:13,14 prophecy.
Baha'u'llah also claims to be the one like a son of man in that prophecy.
Baha'u'llah did not claim
any of those prophecies, and He did not spend much time writing about the Bible, since He considered that to be a grave mistake and a grievous transgression to waste time talking about the past.
“…… To this testify the records of the sacred books. Were the details to be mentioned, this epistle would swell into a book. Moreover, it is not Our wish to relate the stories of the days that are past. God is Our witness that what We even now mention is due solely to Our tender affection for thee, that haply the poor of the earth may attain the shores of the sea of wealth, the ignorant be led unto the ocean of divine knowledge, and they that thirst for understanding partake of the Salsabíl of divine wisdom. Otherwise, this servant regardeth the consideration of such records a grave mistake and a grievous transgression.” (The Kitáb-i-Íqán, p. 63)
It is the Baha'is who claim these verses are about Baha'u'llah because we know what Baha'u'llah did and what will happen during His dispensation.
The verse says
one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days.
The verse does not say that one like the Son of man was the Ancient of days.
Daniel 7:13-14 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords in Revelation is The Word (Jesus of John 1:1) when you read the passage.
The King of Kings and Lord of Lords is Baha'u'llah.
Baha'u'llah wants to be whom the Bible declare is Jesus.
Baha'ullah does not
want to be anything, he just is who He is.
Christians are the one with wants. they want verses that are about Bahaullah to be about Jesus.
NOTHING that refers to the return of Christ in the Bible is about Jesus Christ.
Some of the Bible writers
believed and hoped it would be Jesus returning but that was is a belief and a false hope.
(John 14:19, John 16:10, John 17:11, John 17:4, John 19:30, John 18:36, John 18:37)
Baha'u'llah wants to be God, the Ancient of Days, also.
That is hilarious. Baha'u'lalh never claimed to be God.
“Certain ones among you have said: “He it is Who hath laid claim to be God.” By God! This is a gross calumny. I am but a servant of God Who hath believed in Him and in His signs, and in His Prophets and in His angels. My tongue, and My heart, and My inner and My outer being testify that there is no God but Him, that all others have been created by His behest, and been fashioned through the operation of His Will. There is none other God but Him, the Creator, the Raiser from the dead, the Quickener, the Slayer. I am He that telleth abroad the favors with which God hath, through His bounty, favored Me. If this be My transgression, then I am truly the first of the transgressors. I and My kindred are at your mercy. Do ye as ye please, and be not of them that hesitate, that I might return to God My Lord, and reach the place where I can no longer behold your faces. This, indeed, is My dearest wish, My most ardent desire. Of My state God is, verily, sufficiently informed, observant.”
(Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 228)
Baha'u'llah gets his identity from Bible prophecy
That is hilarious. Baha'u'llah gets His identity from God, not from any Bible prophecies.
and if Bible prophecy disagrees with Baha'u'llah's claims then to me Baha'u'llah is wrong and is a false Christ and false prophet. It's really as simple as that.
And since Bible prophecy agrees with who Baha'u'llah was and what He actually did then to me Baha'u'llah is the return of Christ. It's really as simple as that.
Well of course you believe Baha'u'llah over the Bible.
All Baha'is have to agree that the Bible is not true if they want to say that Baha'u'llah is true. It is not just you.
I certainly believe Baha'u'llah over some of the Bible, since some if the Bible is false.
Baha'u'llah according to the Bible is a false prophet who disagrees with the teachings of God.
Baha'u'llah according to the Bible is a true prophet who agrees with the teachings of God.
If the Bible is true then it shows Baha'u'llah to be a false prophet and false Christ.
If the Bible is true then it shows Baha'u'llah to be a true prophet and the return of Christ.
