The historic significance of the 28 November 2023 letter of the Universal House of Justice to the Bahá'ís of the World is assessed briefly and its potential impact on the implementation of the provisions of current Nine Year Plan is explored. The presentation reviews how various phases of development experienced by the worldwide Bahá’í community can be perceived as successive and coherent stages in a single, unfolding, Divinely- ordained drama and how each generation of Bahá'ís was able to build capacities needed to render the increasingly complex tasks expected of their generation. It argues that for the task ahead the achievements of the first century of the Formative Age of the Faith and their attendant processes of capacity building will prove to be a tremendous help in building confidence and certitude among those who are attracted to the vision of Bahá’u'lláh.
