In 1916 + 1917, surrounded in the Holy Land by the horror of WWI, 'Abdu'l-Bahá sent 14 postcards to the Bahá'is of America and Canada outlining the beginning of fulfilling the promises in every major world religion -- peace on earth, good will towards all, i.e. God's Kingdom on earth. They are known as the Tablets of the Divine Plan.
Tablet 1 was revealed on March 26, 1916, in ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá’s room at the house in Bahjí, outside Akka, Israel (Palestine at that time). It was addressed to the Bahá’ís of nine Northeastern States in the United States: Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York. (Recall that He visited America for 8 months in 1912.)
"O ye heavenly heralds:
These are the days of Naw-Rúz. I am always thinking of those kind friends! I beg for each and all of you confirmations and assistance from the threshold of oneness, so that those gatherings may become ignited like unto candles, in the republics of America, enkindling the light of the love of God in the hearts; thus the rays of the heavenly teachings may begem and brighten the states of America like the infinitude of immensity with the stars of the Most Great Guidance."
