Each Prophet comes from the same single heaven of the knowledge of an Infinite and Almighty God. Each brings the same light of truth to a darkened world. Hence, they are called Suns. The sun is the source of the light of day. resurrection comes from the Latin word sugere, "to rise", with the prefix "re" meaning again. To rise again. When the Sun of Truth, the Messenger of God, rises again on a night of earthly darkness, He brings the Day of resurrection. This is the Day of God that "rises again" and renews all things. (112:6)

It is also the Day of Judgment. On the Day when the Messenger of God appears, all are judged by their acceptance or rejection of His Message. The sheep are separated from the goats by His appearance. The sheep recognize the voice of the Good Shepherd, and follow Him, "for they know his voice".34 (112:7)

Bahá'u'lláh writes:
Behold how the generality of mankind hath been endued with the capacity to hearken unto God’s most exalted Word - the Word upon which must depend the gathering together and spiritual resurrection of all men ...35 (112:8)

From the preceding explanations, we can be sure that the resurrection of Christ is to be understood symbolically. It is plainly an inward truth: the body of Christ’s Faith was dead. It arose again with its real life of the spirit. The outward symbol of this inward truth is the story of the resurrection. (112:9)
