The mosai · is a totality of spiritual truth. "Revelation in its m<>thod of presentation is composed ·of seven movements, each complete in itself, and each in completing Itself starts another movement. These seven movementA ~ncompass the whole stream of human experience and are rr,t successive in time, as in the pictunzatlon, but contemporaneous--a cross ._ection of the inner reality of human expenence. "Revelation In it:-; teaching content is "'implicity itself, dt'aling only with the Two Kingdoms, of God and of EvH. All the kaleidoscopic change In movement, plcturlzatlon, is Incidental to the tracing of the Issues from their sources to their consummation.
