It is recorded in the Sacred Scriptures that Christ will
return and that His return is conditioned upon the fulfilment of certain signs:
When He returns, He will be attended by those signs. Among them: “The sun shall
be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall
from heaven.” At that time “all the tribes of the earth” shall “mourn” and
lament, and “the sign of the Son of man” shall appear “in heaven”, “and they
shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great
glory”.[ Cf. Matt. 24:29–30] Bahá’u’lláh has provided a detailed interpretation
of these verses in the Kitáb-i-Íqán, and it need not be repeated here. Refer to
it and you will grasp their meaning.
