Christ's Birth: A Lesson given by Mirza Abul Fazl.
Notes taken at . Port Said - by H. Eo H.
The evangelists have di8agr~ed a.bout the exact line of desoent from Abraham to Jesus. The :Jews did not believe that Jesus was of the seed of Abraham, but he wa.s, beoause from Isaao and Ishmael all the nations Of the earth were peopled. Europe and the West. being desoendants of Isaac, Arabia, Syria, . eto. by desoenda.nts. of Ishmaelo
But Jesus Christ was ·not descended from the HOW3 t: of David. Would David call his Lord his son? (See Matthew 22: 42-43. ) And Ze'oha.rias oalli David the ' servant of' Christ. (St. Luke 1: 69)
The Jews said that Christ was a Samarita.n (See St. John 8:48) and this was . one O.f the reasons they gave for not aooepting l;1im. Joseph came from Samaria and could. not there-fore be a, pure Jew (St. Jam 4:9) for' Samaria had ueen ca.ptured and the 'people had intermarried and were, therefor"s, mixed with Ba.bylonianso
Jesus • oame through the Levj.t,8so

SO we must understand that when Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar that four
Kingdoms were to come he meant four religions. From that tL~eunil
now there have been four religions in that country.
I&38-- At that time Nebuchadnezzar and the Chaldeans were idol worship-
pel'S, followers of the old Sabean religion- this religion spread over
all regions except India and China.
As Nebuchadnezzar was k1ng,and powerfUl, Daniel sa1dthat he
was the uhead" of this image; but he :qLeant the religion that he represen-
ted.
2 & 39 This other kingdom, or religion, inferior to the Sabean, was
Zoriastrianism. uthe breast and arms of silver ll was the Persian

This l(.ingdom (religion) is divided in two: Persians or Sheites; 4I---
Turks or Sunnites. It is really one religion,but different sects,
and they do not mix or asso~iate one with the other,"';'justas iron
will not mix with clay. The musselmen are divided in their
religion. The Sheites were always more spiritual than the Sunnites
tconsequently stronger in the eyes of God.-- Abul Fazl said: We

Daniel 3.
The learned men under Nebuchadnezzar were jealous of Sadrach
Me ~':.:hachand Abed-nego and tried to influence them, thus t11eir tests were
liKened unto a fire through which they were able to pass unscathed.
The same is meant in reference to Daniel in the lion's den. These
men were strong as lions,but Daniel was gtJ.ided by GOD,

llO---- "~ree in the midst .. means a. great powel'. Up to this time the not
powers had been small and there had been one of very gTeat import-
ance, so this means a great king-.---In that time. The first great
power was Persia, then the ROm!ln.a became POVlerf'Ul, then Pel'sia again
held sway when the lfusselmen ga.~ned povier. Abdul Fazl does not
particularize this as anyone, but says · all the powers ~7ere in the
same condition of materiality at that time; and there were various
16---
great powers.
The Ohristians have all thought that ,Neb. really lived as a
beast for 7 years, not understanding the real meaning. The more
learned priests now· say that Neb, thought himself like a beast;but
this is not true it Not only was Neb. in th :i.s mater'ial condition,
wanting in sPiritualitY,but all those people were so at that time.
There is a rule in the bible that day ·means year.
Refer to NumbersI4~34--tlfor every day a year".

DANIEL XII, 11th verse:- And from the time that the daily
sacrifice shall be takeh away, and the abomination that makes
desolate set up, the!re shall be a thousand two hundred and
ninety days.
Napoleon I was 'the transgression of desolation' and shall
make himself greater than God, he went and opened Acre, and did
so and was idolised more than anything else in the world.
1817 The birth of the Blessed Perfection.
1844 Elijah (El Bab, meaning the door or gate) manifested
himself in Persia. The Millerite s calcul ated that 1844 Christ
must appear according to the propheci es. El Bayan, writ t en by
Bab, is a marvellous work, explaining many prophecies, he was by·
no means learned, yet the book is composed in most eloquent
language and is far ahead of the Koran.
MALACHI IV, 5th verse:- Be hold I will send you Elijah
the prophet before the coming of the ereat, the dreadful day of
the Lord.
Bab was a traveller, like. Abraham, and possessed the stick
of Moses (the power of argument), like Mahomet he was a merchant
and like Christ crucified, and he was put into prison by the;
Shah of Persia and his ministers because they were frightened of
his pO,wer; the latter made a council to kill him so they hung
him and hisl secretary on a wall upside down. A Christian regi~
ment fired at them b:ut the bullets only killed the Secretary and
cut the ropes by which the Bab was bound so that he f·ell to the

ground without harm. After the smoke of the · guns had cleared
away the ~ab was found writing with charcoal on the wall in ffil
adjoining guard room. The regiment was ordered to fire, again
but they refused. A Mahommedan regiment was then called and
he was killed.
The Manifestation was known to Bab though he did not see
Him, but they wrote to each other.
1852 The Manifestation of the Father was imprisoned
for four months in Teheran. The Persian Shah said to Him after
out of my country'. He was exiled to Baghdad where many
followed Him.
1853 He manifested himself to special people in Baghdad
to bea manifestation of the almighty God. When the Bab was j ~ I "': , \
asked what time he would manifest hi?1Belf, he said, "After 1. >,{! .. ,Jr that is to say, in the year 1269 which corresponds to the year
1853. A few years later he went to certain mountains ~.
Armn"i:ia, near the city of Solimania, for two years. Balaam's
prophecy saw him there in the far future (Exodus )
1863 When by command of the. Sultan, Abdul Aziz, an
i-nv .. i~a,~Mm was sent to Him to leave Baghdad and come to Constan-
tinople, he went shortly before leaving to a garden near the
Chebar river (now Lul~a = meeting, IH'ophesied in Ezekiel) and
manifested himself t6 be God, our everlasting Father, he remained
