The Hands in the Holy Land became self-interpreters after the first Guardian's death, developed a plan of their liking, and brainwashed the majority of the believers who now expect it to lead to the Promised Kingdom. Was it never considered that perhaps an attempt should have been made to conform to his instructions rather than to immediately declare that it was impossible for him to have appointed the second Guardian?
When one looks objectively at the conditions of rampant poverty, war, destruction and total chaos in today's world versus the promises of God's Plan as described in the Writings of all the Manifestations, with its theme of continuation through the Baha'i Faith, how could the peaceful promises be realized without the full cooperation of that God? God's cooperation will only happen within the following of `Abdu'l-Bahá's definition of the Covenant, and the explicit directions of Shoghi Effendi.
In the meantime, the UHJ's humanly-conceived plan continues with the only realistic outcome to be that of frustration and non-accomplishment of salvation for the world.
