The Baha'i view suggests that the signs described in Matthew 24:29 will characterize that stage of the tribulation which heralds the Second Advent. When the Second Advent is upon us 'the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken'. These signs symbolize the final outcome of the tribulation: the obscuring of the religious guidance of Christ, the abandonment of religious practice, and the downfall of religious institutions.
(111:5)
