The message of the universal house of justice [1]
– Ridvan 2025 to the Baha’is of the World (182 Badi’a)
Dearly loved Friends,
With but a year remaining before the first phase of the Nine Year Plan concludes, we are eager to report on its progress—how, through shining examples of noble endeavor, the vision offered by the Faith is filling more and more hearts with hope.
The process of growth continues to advance. Striking breakthroughs have occurred in varied climes, where significant progress had not previously been witnessed, as the seed of the Faith has yielded new green shoots and the capacity for working with many souls at once has begun to emerge. These advances have often been made possible by devoted pioneers who, hearts aglow with the love of their Lord, have hastened to posts on the home front and abroad in impressive numbers. In clusters where a program of growth had already begun, renewed attention has been given to applying, with creativity and ingenuity, those recognized strategies and lines of action that will enable the friends to pass the second and third milestones. And in clusters of proven strength, glimmerings of the society-building power of the Faith are becoming more visible, as a vibrant and transformative pattern of Baha’i life is embraced by a growing company of galvanized souls.
Meanwhile, grassroots engagement with society has taken remarkable strides multiplied the most rapidly, but other such as agriculture, health, the evident in the strongest clusters, where many a village or neighborhood-even a single street or high-density building-is home to a population that is experiencing the upliftment which comes from translating the principles of the Faith into tangible reality. In places, civic leaders and individuals with responsibility for children’s education or social development at the local level are not just turning to the Baha’is for perspectives, but are seeking to collaborate in the search for practical solutions. Further, we are pleased to see that at the national and international levels, the Baha’i approach to certain important discourses is attracting growing consideration and admiration.
The Nine Year Plan relies on a vast, global process of learning that is as effective in the highlands of Bolivia as in the suburbs of Sydney. This process of learning has given rise to strategies and actions adaptable to every setting. It is systematic; it is organic; it is all-embracing. It creates connections, blossoming into dynamic relationships, among families, among neighbors, among youth, and among all who are ready to be protagonists in this glorious undertaking. It raises up communities that brim with potential. It enables the fulfilment of high aspirations shared by people who had been kept apart by geography, language, culture, or conditioning but have now heard and responded to Bahaullah’s universal call to “ceaselessly strive for the betterment of the lives of one another”. And it is wholly reliant on the invigorating potency of the Word of God-that “unifying force”, “the mover of souls and the binder and regulator in the world of humanity”—and on the sustained action it inspires.
Against the gloom of a stormy sky, how bright the light that gleams from your devoted efforts! Even as the tempest rages in the world, the havens that will shelter humanity are being built in countries, regions, and clusters. But there is much to do. Each national community has its own expectations for the progress to be made during this, the Plan’s opening phase. Time is passing. Beloved friends, and promulgators of the divine teachings, and champions of the Blessed Beauty-your efforts are needed now. Every advance made in the fleeting months before next Ridvan will better equip the community of the Greatest Name for what it must accomplish in the Plan’s second phase. May you be granted success. For this we beseech the sovereign Lord; for this we implore His unfailing aid; for this we entreat Him to send forth His favored angels to assist each one of you.

Paying attention to the message and analyzing it:
The text is beyond a simple report.
It is a means to coordinate and intrigue the Baha’i community in the direction of long-termed aims. Some of the hidden possibilities are as follows:
I) Getting ready for special events in 2025
Maybe, the Zionist regime’s attack and the American criminal’s one against the Islamic Republic of Iran are of these special events. As in the media domain, there were good cooperation between the elements of this organization with the criminal usurp Zionistic regime [2].
II) Creating social networks for influence through service projects as cover is pointing out completely to creating spying networks across. the world.
III) Changing the Baha’i communities into independent models in aimed regions to recruit indirectly.
IV) Using the universal crisis as an opportunity to pose Baha’i substitution.
This message mobilizes the Baha’i community for the second phase,” the nine-year plan mixing Gnostic, numerology and social strategy that whose aims may not been publicly announced.
Investigating the universal house of justice message exactly can identify another layers of symbolism numerical models and strategic hints which are probably pointing out the hidden aims or coordinated messages. The following notes and codes which have been discovered are presented:
I) Numerical and calendar analyses:
The Year 2025: 9 = 2 + 0 + 2 + 5 which reflects the centrality of the number 9 in Bahaism (perfection and unity symbol) and the relationship with “9-year plan”.
II) Geographic secret hints:
Bolivia and Sydney:
Mentioning these two geographic places (Bolivia heights and Sydney suburb) may point out the patterns of success in various regions:
Bolivia: The symbol of rural community or less developed regions.
Sydney: The symbol of developed and multi-cultural cities.
This selection that the 9-year plan is going to be fulfilled in both urban and rural environments, but a special strategic aim must be existent in each region.
III) Symbolism of growth and passing the stages
” Passing the second and third symbol of growth”:
The phrase “growth symbol” can point out the hidden stags or classification in of the process of the expansion of Bahaism:
The first symbol: Primary recruiting and forming small groups.
The second Symbol: Penetrating into local foundations and increasing social participations.
The third symbol: Penetrating into governmental structure or influencing on enormous policies.
These hierarchies may not be revealed for the public.
IV) Making networks and the social influence:
The faithful emigrants:
Emphasizing on the role of emigrants in proceeding aims (to areas which are located inside or outside of the country.) can indicate an organized strategy to create networks internationally. These emigrations have been coordinated probably with aim such as establishing the Baha’i communities in new regions or strengthening the existent bases.
Cooperating with civil leaders:
The sentence “the civil leaders… turn to the Baha’is to find practical solutions” indicates that the Baha’is are confirming their roles as social consultants in local and national levels. This may be an onset for influencing on policy makings in the future.
V) Gnostic language and hidden call
“The refreshing power of the word Allah”:
In addition to its superficial meaning, the divine inspiration of this phrase may point out a text or a secret instruction which is merely understandable for special members. In some religious texts, the word Allah is secretly interpreted as special leaders or rulers.
“esteemed angels”
This idiom can be a metaphor used for the senior Baha’i leaders or the representatives of the universal house of justice who are playing their role of “back up forces” in performing the plan.
VI) Making ready for “the stormy dark sty”
Describing the world as “stormy dark sky”:
This phrase may point out the predicted universal crises (such as war, the economic collapse or the climate changes) in which the Baha’i community introduces itself as “saving light”.
“The refuge and safe place for human kind:
This claim can indicate a plan for creating Baha’i community as governmental substitution models in crisis times.
VII) Probable codes in text structure
Repeating keywords:
The words like “process” (17 times), “plan” (6 times) and “community” (9 times) with purposeful repetition may be arranged based on numerical patterns (like 9 or 19) which are considered as holy in Bahaism.
Conclusion:
The multi-layer message and organized orientation to expand Baha’ism proselytizing and to create spirit among the Baha’is and to use special events in the world are of the important notes of the message.
