The excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord ... [when] the ransomed of the Lord [the Jews] shall return. -Isaiah 35 (KJV) Sharon shall be a fold of flocks and the valley of Achor [Acre] a place for the herds to lie down in for my people that have sought me. - Isaiah 65 (KJV)

Call out to Zion, O Carmel, and announce the joyful tidings: He that was hidden from mortal eyes is come! His all-conquering sovereignty is manifest; His all-encompassing splendor is revealed. Beware lest thou hesitate or halt. Hasten forth and circumambulate the City of God that hath descended from heaven… - Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 15
