In the midst of the church, the king of peace brings here and brings now her inviolable community of peace both within and without – nothing but peace. Where there is redemption and reconciliation through Christ, even the locking-up of Satan for the thousand years of rejoicing is present reality because peace is here and now put into action.

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. To experience God means to surrender to the goal of His kingdom so that one accepts His judgment of death and believes in His resurrection. The power of the future comes to the believer. Through the active Spirit of the coming Christ he receives already in the present the calling to live for the future.
