8: AGES AND EPOCHS (Define) |
|
“The Faith is divided into three Ages: the Heroic, the
Formative, the Golden Age, as has been outlined in His
3
Writings. The Heroic Age closed with the Ascension of
‘Abdu’l-Bahá. The Formative Age is divided into epochs. The
first epoch lasted 25 years. We are now actually in the second
epoch of the Formative Age. How long the Formative Age
will last is not known, and there will probably be a number of
epochs in it.

“The Divine Plan of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá is divided into epochs.
The first Seven-Year Plan constituted the first stage of the first
epoch; the second Seven-Year Plan constitutes the second stage;
while the Ten-Year Crusade will constitute the third stage of the
first epoch of the Divine Plan. The first epoch of the Divine Plan
will conclude with the conclusion of the Ten-Year Crusade.”
