The Lesser Peace in the Bahá’í Faith is a prophecy of political peace to be established by the nations of the world in order to bring about an end to war. Its establishment will prepare the way for the Most Great Peace, a condition of permanent peace and world unity to be founded on the spiritual principles and institutions of the World Order of Bahá’u’lláh and signalizing humanity's coming of age.
'Abdul-Bahá stated in 1912:
“Question: 'Are there any signs that the permanent peace of the world will be established in anything like a reasonable period?' ‘Abdu’l-Bahá was asked.
'It will be established in this century,' he answered, ‘It will be universal in the twentieth century. All nations will be forced into it.'"
(‘Abdu’l-Bahá in Canada” [Thornhill: Bahá’í Canada Publications, 1987])
In January 23, 1985, the Universal House of Justice sent a letter addressed "To all National Spiritual Assemblies" concerning Bahá’í activities for the International Year of Peace declared by the United Nations, in anticipation of the permanent peace of the world:
"Dear Bahá’í Friends,
1986 has been named the International Year of Peace by the United Nations. Considering the dangers surrounding mankind and the remedial prospects of the Lesser Peace to which Bahá’u’lláh has summoned the nations, we embrace this God-sent opportunity to proclaim ever more widely and convincingly the vitalizing principles upon which, as our Teachings emphatically assert, a lasting peace must be founded."
So the 20th century has gone and the prophecy failed miserably. Now they just do mental gymnastic to twist all these information saying the Lesser Peace is ongoing.
