Baha'is have been warmly pro-Israel. They subscribe to the prophecies of the Bible and see in many Biblical verses predictions of the rise of their own faith. Thy believe that restoration of the Jews to the Holy Land and the rebuilding of Jerusalem precede the inevitable day of Final Judgment. They note that establishment of the State of Israel did not take place in the Muslim era nor in the Christian era, but in what they call the Baha'i period of history. When their pilgrims come here this year to mark their 100th anniversary they will at the same time, and in all sincerity, also join in celebrating Israel's twentieth year.
