The Times We Are In

The Times We Are In: God’s Plan, Disintegration & Integration, and the Lesser, Great & Most Great Peace (with Eileen Maddox) On February 14, 2026, a Sunday livestream welcomes independent researcher and author Eileen Maddox to present “The Times We Are In: What in the World Is Going On,” focused on the Baha’i teachings about God’s major and minor plans, the parallel processes of disintegration and integration, and the coming of the Lesser Peace, the Great Peace, and the Most Great Peace. Relying exclusively on Baha’i writings and comments attributed to ‘Ali Nakhjavani—without reference to current politics or news—Maddox outlines four parts: (1) ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s Tablet of the Universe, including an astronomy overview and the theme of love as a universal attractive force; (2) Baha’u’llah’s epistles to kings, rulers, and ecclesiastics (compiled in The Summons of the Lord of Hosts), including examples addressed to Pope Pius IX, Napoleon III, Queen Victoria, and the rulers of America, with guidance on justice, unity among rulers, reduced armaments, and the Lesser Peace after rejection of the Most Great Peace; (3) Matthew 24 and Daniel’s time prophecies, interpreted in relation to 1844 and the Baha’i “cycle of fulfillment,” including discussion of “the elect” as those who live in love and unity; and (4) characteristics of the Lesser Peace as political unity and absence of war, a discussion of the Great Peace (cited from a talk by ‘Ali Nakhjavani published in Lights of ‘Irfán), and the Most Great Peace as a future Baha’i commonwealth, with quotations from ‘Abdu’l-Baha and references to community-building efforts and a 2025 message about “havens” being built amid a global tempest. The episode concludes with audience Q&A about the source of the “Great Peace,” the scope of Baha’u’llah’s address to “America” and the “republics,” questions about Israel (answered without geopolitical discussion while noting the Baha’i World Centre in Haifa), reflections on integration through community-building, and announcements of Maddox’s Substack, YouTube channel, books available on Amazon and via publisher discount, and her intention to develop a multi-week series on the Book of Revelation from a Baha’i perspective. 00:00 Welcome & Introducing Eileen Maddox (Topic Overview) 02:47 Why These Times Feel Accelerated: Disintegration vs. Integration 06:17 Slide Deck Begins: God’s Plan, the Prophetic Cycle & 1844 07:52 Tablet of the Universe: Astronomy, Creation & the Law of Love 14:45 Baha’u’llah’s Summons to Kings & Clergy: The Most Great Peace 17:26 Case Studies: Pope Pius IX, Napoleon III & Queen Victoria 24:09 Guidance to Rulers: Unity, Disarmament & the Lesser Peace 30:19 Matthew 24 & Daniel: Signs, 1844, and Who Are “the Elect”? 40:21 Trials, Cleansing, and Building Havens: From Turmoil to Community 43:50 Part Four Begins: Lesser Peace, Great Peace, Most Great Peace 45:35 Lesser Peace: Political Unity and a World Without War 46:51 Introducing the “Great Peace” as the Missing Middle Stage 47:41 Three Processes Ahead: Lesser, Great, and Most Great Peace 49:37 Shoghi Effendi’s Twofold Process & the Integration/Disintegration Chart 51:57 The “Third Line”: How the Great Peace Emerges Indirectly 54:18 Most Great Peace & the Baha’i Commonwealth (Abdu’l‑Baha’s Vision) 55:50 When Will It Come?
