In Baha'u'llah's discourse on Matthew 24:29-30, as mentioned earlier, He speaks of the tribulation as a time when the leaders (of religion, in particular), like 'voracious beasts have gathered and preyed upon the carrion of the souls of men' (Certitude 31). This may be a subtle reference to Matthew 24:28. If the vultures are corrupt leaders exploiting the lost souls of humankind, then this is an inevitable condition which, as Scripture indicates, must precede the Second Advent - a subject which the next verse anticipates.
(101:5)
