Proofs of Prophethood

Bahá'u'lláh asked no one to accept His statements and His tokens blindly. On the contrary, He put in the very forefront of His teachings emphatic warnings against blind acceptance of authority,and urged all to open their eyes and ears, and use their own judgement, independently and fearlessly, in order to ascertain the truth. He enjoined the fullest investigation and never concealed Himself, offering, as the supreme proofs of HisProphethood, His words and works and their effects in transforming the lives and characters of men. The tests He proposed are the same as those laid down by His great predecessors.

Moses said: -- When a prophet speaketh in the name of the Lord, ifthe thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is thething which the Lord hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him. -- Deut. xviii, 22.

Christ put His test just as plainly, and appealed to itin proof of His own claim. He said: -- Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. ... Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. -- Matt. vii, 15-17, 20
