A condition of permanent peace and world unity to be founded on the spiritual principles and institutions of the World Order of Bahá'u'lláh. Its establishment shall follow the ‘Lesser Peace', and unlike that purely political peace, brought about to avoid war, the Most Great Peace will be the ‘consequence of the spiritualization of the world and the fusion of its races, creeds, classes and nations',5 based on the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh and the establishment of His World Order. The Most Great Peace, signalizing mankind's coming of age, shall fulfil the promises of the past concerning the establishment of ‘the Kingdom of the Father', a reign of sustained peace on earth, and shall be the Golden Age of the Bahá'í Era. |
