22. UNIVERSAL DOMINION.

"The Lord is gracious and full of compassion; slow to anger and of great mercy. The Lord is good to all and his tender mercies are over all his works" (Psalms 145:8-9). "All nations whom you have made shall come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name" (Psalms 86:9). "O you that hears prayer, unto you shall all flesh come" (Psalms 65:2). "All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto the Lord; and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before you" (Psalms 22:27).

He evidently looked forward to the expiration of God’s anger, and the triumph of Divine mercy and grace in all souls.
