Such are a few grains of the bountiful harvest which humanity will reap as it builds a civilization "with a fullness of life such as the world has never seen nor can as yet conceive." (171:3) But oh, dear readers, the story does not stop here. This is in fact the mere beginning of the wonders brought by the Messengers of God. For it is not even for this that Baha'u'llah has come. His purpose is greater still - greater even than those blessed to live in His Golden Age can possibly conceive. Yes, the Lord of History comes to earth to guide and govern Humanity through His Revelation, and to offer Himself as a Sacrifice for humanity; He comes to produce a genuine likeness of heaven on earth, and to make human persons more perfect in this life; however, His ultimate and final purpose for coming to earth is to prepare us for that "hour that none can put back" , that final hour when we depart from this world and are called to meet our Maker
(171:4)
