To the prophetic view, God appears as the guide and shepherd of all history. He guides men’s external destinies towards the one goal, which is the uniting of all nations in one fold. Man is received into the domain of God’s kingdom. The essence of this kingdom is the rulership of love.

The small world of the individual man must reflect the great world of God’s history.

Through the active Spirit of the coming Christ he receives already in the present the calling to live for the future.
