With
the superlative power and efficacy of the Word of God, He [Christ] gathered
most of the nations of the East and the West. This achievement was effected at
a time when these nations were in the utmost contention and strife. He ushered
them into the overshadowing tent of the oneness of humanity. He educated them
to become united so that the Roman, the Greek, the Assyrian, the Chaldean and
other foreign nations were united and blended into a heavenly civilization.
This efficacy of the Word and divine power, which are extraordinary, prove
conclusively the validity of the revelation of Christ. Observe how His heavenly
sovereignty has endured. This is indeed conclusive proof and manifest evidence.
