When the vials of wrath are poured out over the world, when the need becomes unbearably intense, then a justice must be proclaimed and lived which is stronger than all the injustice of the world and which at the same time fulfills in love the punishing justice of judgment.

- Eberhard ArnoldPrayer must never supplant work in God’s kingdom and in his church. If we ask God earnestly for his will to be done on this earth, for his nature to be shown in our work, for his rule to bring men to unity, justice and love – then our life will be a life of work. Faith without works is dead. Prayer without work is hypocrisy. Un¬less we live according to God’s kingdom, the Lord’s Prayer is a lie. Unless love within the community results in work and deed, our Tree of Life will wither and come under judgment.

June 03,2026
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.
