Is Bach's music ahead of OUR time?

I am not mystified that the allure of Bach's music endures through
time.
I lack to explain its draw.  Not educated in this field, and having so
many times in the past mistaken fool's gold for the genuine stuff, it
would be nice to have a some kind of measure more objective to cite
than my own delight in the experience.

Bowing in advance with gratitude for helpful contributions.
