The ills from which the world now suffers will multiply; the
gloom which envelops it will deepen. The Balkans will remain discontented. Its
restlessness will increase. The vanquished Powers will continue to agitate.
They will resort to every measure that may rekindle the flame of war.
Movements, newly born and worldwide in their range, will exert their utmost for
the advancement of their designs. The Movement of the Left will acquire great importance.
Its influence will spread.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The
Advent of Divine Justice’)
