| Great Peace |
|
| (Translated in some Bahá'í literature as the ‘Lesser Peace' to distinguish it from the ‘Most Great Peace'). A political peace to be established by the nations of the world in order to bring about an end to war. In the nineteenth century, when the kings and rulers addressed by Bahá'u'lláh did not heed his summons, which could have brought the Most Great Peace, he advised them to ‘hold ye fast unto this, the Lesser Peace, that haply ye may in some degree better your own condition and that of your dependants'.4 Its establishment will prepare the way for the Most Great Peace. In 1985, in a statement to the peoples of the world, The Promise of World Peace, the Universal House of Justice called upon the nations of the world to bring about this ‘Great Peace'. |
