(Reference to far future when temporal authority will be wielded)

"May they hasten, by their present exertions, the advent of that blissful consummation when the shackles hampering the growth of their beloved Faith will have been finally burst asunder, when its independent status will have been officially and universally recognized, when it will have ascended the throne and wielded the scepter of spiritual and temporal authority, when the brightness of its glory will have illuminated the whole earth, and its dominion will have been established over the entire planet."

(Shoghi Effendi, Messages to the Bahá'í World, pp. 84-85)

Functioning of House of Justice as future supreme organ of Bahá'í Super State to be part of establishing Most Great Peace

"Your view that the Lesser Peace will come about through the political efforts of the states and nations of the world, and independently of any direct Bahá’í plan or effort, and the Most Great Peace established through the instrumentality of the believers, and by the direct operation of the laws and principles revealed by Bahá’u’lláh and the functioning of the Universal House of Justice as the supreme organ of the Bahá’í Super State—your view on this subject is quite correct and in full accord with the pronouncements of the Guardian as embodied in the “Unfoldment of World Civilization.”"

(On behalf of Shoghi Effendi in a letter dated 14 March 1939 to an individual believer)
