Interpretation and reception
The Promised Day Is Come
Shoghi Effendi
Explicitly interprets Napoleon III's downfall at Sedan and Pius IX's loss of temporal power as fulfillments of Bahaullah's warnings, within a wider account of collapsing monarchies. Uses the Epistle to the Son of the Wolf and reports attributed to Nabil; evidentiary dependence must remain visible.
