received the Call announcing His Revelation, as we will see shortly [DB 25-26 – Part A, Section 6].9_ACT15
The Name and Meeting with “Him Whom God shall make Manifest”
In the Persian Bayán, the Báb revealed:
Well is it with him, who fixeth his gaze upon the Order of Bahá’u’lláh, and rendereth thanks unto his Lord.
For He will assuredly be made manifest.
God hath indeed irrevocably ordained it in the Bayán.10_ACT15
The Báb assured several of His disciples that they would meet “Him Whom God shall make Manifest”. A passage from God Passes By, the historical analysis of the birth of the Bábí and Bahá’í Revelations, summarizes this as follows:
Some of His disciples the Báb assiduously prepared to expect the imminent Revelation [of Him Whom God shall make Manifest]. Others He orally assured would live to see its day. To Mullá Báqir, one of the Letters of the Living, He actually prophesied, in a Tablet addressed to him, that he would meet the Promised One face to face. To Sayyáh, another disciple, He gave verbally a similar assurance. Mullá Husayn He directed to Tihrán, assuring him that in that city was enshrined a Mystery Whose light neither Hijáz nor Shíráz could rival. Quddús, on the eve of his final separation from Him, was promised that he would attain the presence of the One Who was the sole Object of their adoration and love. To Shaykh Hasan-i-Zunúzí He declared while in Máh-Kú that he would behold in Karbilá the countenance of the promised Husayn. On Dayyán He conferred the title of “the third Letter to believe in Him Whom God shall make manifest,” while to ‘Azím He divulged, in the Kitáb-i-Panj-Sha‘n, the name, and announced the approaching advent, of Him Who was to consummate His own Revelation. 11_ACT15
Each of the above met Bahá’u’lláh as predicted by the Báb.
