It has been promised
and recorded in all the Sacred Books and Scriptures that in this Day of God His
divine and spiritual sovereignty will be established, the world will be
renewed, a fresh spirit will be breathed into the body of creation, the divine
springtime will be ushered in, the clouds of mercy will rain down, the Sun of
Truth will shine forth, the life-giving breezes will blow: The world of
humanity will be arrayed in a new garment; the face of the earth will become
even as the highest paradise; humanity will be educated; war, dissension,
strife, and contention will vanish; truthfulness, uprightness, peace, and
godliness will prevail; love, concord, and union will encompass the world; and
God will rule forevermore—that is, a spiritual and everlasting sovereignty will
be established. Such is the Day of God.
