434 BahÃ¡âuâllÃ¡h and the New Erawho would dare to disbelieve, who would dare to reject thetruth, and wax disdainful? Nay, such consternation wouldimmediately seize all the dwellers of the earth that no soulwould feel able to utter a word, much less to reject or acceptthe truth.—Kitáb-i-Íqán, pp. 67, 71–73, 76, 78–79, 80–81.According to the above explanation the coming of the Son ofMan, in lowly human form, born of woman, poor, uneducated,oppressed and set at naught by the great ones of the earth—thismanner of coming is the very touchstone by which He judgesthe people of earth and separates them one from another, as ashepherd divides his sheep from the goats. Those whose spiritualeyes are opened can see through those clouds and rejoice inthe “power and great glory”—the very glory of God—whichHe comes to reveal; the others, whose eyes are still holden byprejudice and error, can see but the dark clouds and continue togrope in gloom, deprived of the blessed sunshine.Behold, I will send my messenger, and he shall prepare theway before me: and the Lord, whom ye seek, shall suddenlycome to his temple, even the messenger of the covenant,whom ye delight in. ... But who may abide the day of hiscoming? And who shall stand when he appeareth? for he islike a refiner’s fire, and like fullers’ sope.... For, behold, theday cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea,and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: ... But unto youthat fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise withhealing in his wings.—Mal. iii, 1–2; iv. 1–2.NOTE—The subject of fulfillment of prophecy is such an extensiveone that many volumes would be required for its adequateexposition. All that can be done within the limits of a single chapteris to indicate the main outlines of the Bahá’í interpretations.The detailed Apocalypses revealed by Daniel and St. John havebeen left untouched. Readers will find certain chapters of thesedealt with in Some Answered Questions. In the Book of Íqán, by
