Church history -- Primitive and early church, ca. 30-600 -- Fiction
There follows the passing of the Old Order like a garment discarded for
the New when a light shall burst over humanity with the effulgent
radiance of the very heavens; when those, who are asleep shall awake
clothed in light, eternally young; when each shall treasure his eternal
light and fire in his own spirit; when the only grief shall be the grief
for transgression of laws man can never break, but which break man; when
the love of God shall extend to the meanest and poorest of all
creatures; when justice will exact “to the uttermost farthing” of
repentance for sin; when those barred from light will be those only who
persist in barring light from their spirit.

Here, let us close the old seer’s prophecy, be it trance or dream; for
his hope is the hope of all humanity with all its creeds for all time,
now as then.
