BIBLE VERSES

GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM

A symbol of the Divine message to the soul to make things below perfect, as their prototypes above are perfect.

"And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations; and then shall the end come." - MATTHEW xxiv. 14.

The "gospel of the kingdom" is the spiritual "book of life" which sets forth the course of the evolution of the soul; it contains the history of "just men made perfect" in all their qualities (nations). The end must arrive for all that is less than perfection.

"Basilides added, that the life of Christ was the beginning of a progressive shaping and forming of the individual souls of believers, as thoughts of God, out of the shapeless form of unconscious material or psychical existence. The history of mankind is the type of the evolution of creation." - BUNSEN, Hippolytus, etc., Vol. I. p. 120.
