WHEN ALL THINGS COME TO LIGHT
The cosmos is full of meaning. It accepts nothing
which is contrary to its nature and is not in accord
with its design. Yet man wreaks evil and indulges
in corruption on this our earth, the most fertile and
exquisite portion of the universe. Truth is trampled
upon in the name of progress and the cosmos,
despite its meaningfulness, stands by in silence. It
does not condemn the evil which is openly
committed on earth. It does not proclaim truth and
falsehood for what they are.
Does the cosmos contradict itself? Is it incapable of
expressing itself? There are birds who sing
melodiously, but is there no cosmic voice to proclaim
the truth? There is, certainly, but God has silenced the
voice of truth until the resurrection of man. When
man rises from the dead, all things will testify to the
truth. The whole universe will bear witness to the
truth, and will give evidence before God. Justice will
prevail. People will then realize that just as the
cosmos possessed a sun to convert night into day, it
also possessed a means of bringing to light such
deeds as had remained concealed in obscurity.
