The book of Revelation describes the seventh angel sounding a trumpet. Then great voices in heaven proclaim, "The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever."Rev. 11:15; What does this proclamation mean in contemporary terms, and what can the individual do to help make it the present experience of all men?
Many people, coming for the first time on Mrs. Eddy's book Science and Health, have leafed through its first six hundred pages and then read with eager hope the chapter entitled "Fruitage." In these last hundred pages they have found a record of bodies healed and of lives made over; they have glimpsed what it means when for an individual the kingdoms of this world have begun to become the kingdoms of God. At this point they have turned back to the book's beginning. There they have learned how they may share this change of experience themselves; and, if they are men or women of compassion, how they may help others to share it.
The first four chapters of Science and Health, in just less than one hundred pages, lay for the reader a firm foundation of moral and spiritual values. They include discussion of such subjects as prayer, sacrament, marriage, and the allness of divine Spirit.
