Month, Day: 166, Dominion, Honour (Perfection)
One of the longest chapters in the SAQ, (#11), deals with the Revelation of St. John: In the day of the manifestation of the Lord of Hosts, and at the epoch of the divine cycle of the Omnipotent which is promised and mentioned in all the books and writings of the Prophets—in that day of God, the Spiritual and Divine Kingdom will be established, and the world will be renewed; a new spirit will be breathed into the body of creation; the season of the divine spring will come; the clouds of mercy will rain; the sun of reality will shine; the life-giving breeze will blow; the world of humanity will wear a new garment; the surface of the earth will be a sublime paradise; mankind will be educated; wars, disputes, quarrels and malignity will disappear; and truthfulness, righteousness, peace and the worship of God will appear; union, love and brotherhood will surround the world; and God will rule for evermore—meaning that the Spiritual and Everlasting Kingdom will be established. Such is the day of God. For all the days which have come and gone were the days of Abraham, Moses and Christ, or of the other Prophets; but this day is the day of God, for the Sun of Reality will arise in it with the utmost warmth and splendor.
How many today posses such insight as shown by St. John? Is it not appropriate to suggest that everyone does?
As mentioned in the Gleanings (#5): The whole duty of man in this Day is to attain that share of the flood of grace which God poureth forth for him. Let none, therefore, consider the largeness or smallness of the receptacle. The portion of some might lie in the palm of a man’s hand, the portion of others might fill a cup, and of others even a gallon-measure.
One has to accept that many who are of talent go astray bringing oodles of people with them along the paths to perdition. Is this how we learn?

The theme of trying to describe some notion of the Manifestation will continue, albeit more slowly than not, to the end of fostering an improvement scheme for the everyman.
We are beyond the time of the Presence, yet how apropos is the following now? Gleanings (#124): It is for this reason that, in those days, no man shall ever stand in need of his neighbor.
We have seen the deleterious effect of the power; when will science demonstrate a more balanced framework (being discussed, of course)?
