In the church of the Holy Spirit, the future kingdom of God is present with its perfect justice, its absolute peace, and its joy in love and unity. 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.

Everything Jesus says and does makes the rule of peace foretold by the prophets a reality. It confirms the truth of all their promises. In the church of Jesus Christ, the long-prophesied community becomes reality now, exactly as it will in the coming kingdom. Now from all nations, the future citizens of the kingdom of peace stream together. They gather around Christ. A call to the power of perfect peace goes out from the church to the whole world.

The coming of his Kingdom is near! near! near! Therefore let us be courageous and brave, even to the smallest detail, prepared for whatever is laid upon us, for the time is near.
