| Behold, I make all things new. |
| Revelation 21:5 |
| |
|
History is not in the hands of dark forces, of chance,
or of merely human choices.
The Lord, supreme arbiter of historical events,
rises above the discharge of evil energies, the vehement onslaught of Satan,
the emergence of plagues and wickedness.
He knowingly guides history to the dawn of the new heaven
and the new earth.
