….the present Four
Year Plan… outlines the duties of the people of Baha until the end of the
twentieth century and mobilizes them to forge ahead and accelerate the process
of the fulfillment of the divine prophecies. These teaching plans, which have
successively set the worldwide Bahá'í community on the move and broadened the
boundaries of the Faith, are the results of the creative power of
'Abdu'l-Bahá's Tablets of the Divine Plan, which, for more than eighty years,
have summoned the followers of the Abha Beauty to the spiritual conquest of the
planet. These teaching plans will continue until the Golden Age.
