How great are God and His kingdom! How great is the historical hour of world crisis, world distress and world catastrophe; how much greater still is God’s hour of judgment of the world and Christ’s hour of liberation that is coming! How burning our desire should be to know all these things more and more deeply and to share in them; how fervently we should expect and long for the day itself, the coming day, that will bring freedom and unity!
