He whom God shall make manifest

He whom God shall make manifest (Arabic: من يظهر الله, Persian: مظهر کلّیه الهی) is a messianic figure in the religion of Bábism. The messianic figure was repeatedly mentioned by the Báb, the founder of Bábism, in his book, the Bayán. The Báb described the messianic figure as the origin of all divine attributes, and stated that his command was equivalent to God's command. The Báb stated that once the messianic figure had arrived, the perusal of one of his verses was to be greater than a thousand perusals of the Bayán. The prediction is widely recognized as being fulfilled by Baháʼu'lláh, the founder of the Baháʼí Faith.

In Persian Bayan (Wahid ii:bab 16) This messianic figure He whom god shall make manifest (من يظهره الله) will appear between the year ghyiath (غياث) and mustaghath (مستغاث) which means in Arabic letters Gematria (and Persian letters are the same letters) 1511 and 2001 in bayanic era (which started in 1844) and every claim before this date is a false claim.

Claims

After the Báb's execution in 1850, there were some Bábis who claimed to be "He whom God shall make manifest". Later in 1863, Baháʼu'lláh privately laid claim to be the messianic figure, and made his claim publicly in 1866–1868. Those who followed him became known as Baháʼís, and his claim was by far the most successful. The Azalis (those Babis who did not accept Baháʼu'lláh) objected to Baháʼu'lláh's statement.
