1890: Baha’u’llah’s tent was raised on Mount Carmel
In that same year[1890] Bahá’u’lláh’s tent, the “Tabernacle
of Glory,” was raised on Mt. Carmel, “the Hill of God and His Vineyard,” the
home of Elijah, extolled by Isaiah as the “mountain of the Lord,” to which “all
nations shall flow.” Four times He visited Haifa, His last visit being no less
than three months long. In the course of one of these visits, when His tent was
pitched in the vicinity of the Carmelite Monastery, He, the “Lord of the
Vineyard,” revealed the Tablet of Carmel, remarkable for its allusions and
prophecies. On another occasion He pointed out Himself to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, as He
stood on the slopes of that mountain, the site which was to serve as the
permanent resting-place of the Báb, and on which a befitting mausoleum was
later to be erected. (Shoghi Effendi, ‘God Passes By’)
