Divine Order: The Cross and the World’s Destiny

The fate of the world, according to the cited materials, is presented as the result of a divine plan, the foundation of which is a historical event playing a decisive role in the development and culmination of the temporal world. One source asserts that the entire world is, in a sense, “assembled” according to the idea of the Cross—that is, the crucifixion serves as the starting point for a narrative that leads to the final judgment:

“Therefore, by the assembly of the world it was meant the crucified death, or, in other words, the assembly of the world is accomplished according to the idea of the Cross. If the subsequent history of the world—and especially that of man—is the fulfillment of the plan underlying the assembly of the world, then one must say that the Lord’s Cross was the goal of the preceding history and is the starting point for the history that follows. It is the driving force behind all world events, and it will also bring an end to the flow of temporal events. When the sign of the Son of Man appears in the sky, then immediately judgment, the decision of the fate of mankind, and the beginning of a new life will occur.” (source: link txt, page: 1)

In this concept the world moves along a predetermined divine course, and the future—whatever it may hold—is already inscribed in the order of things. At the same time, God, by governing the world as Divine Providence, acts as the supreme power, not only shaping the course of history but also guarding against possible catastrophic consequences. As noted in another source:

“The law of such governance is discernible in nature, in the public and private life of man, and in the Holy Scriptures.

Did not the Savior say that not two birds are valued by one asses; and not one of them falls to the ground without your Father’s will?

And you, inherent and faithful servants of God, and all chief leaders, are all ordained… On your behalf, my Lord, my fate shall be determined.” (source: link txt, page: 1)

This citation emphasizes that even in the apparent chaos of nature and human life, divine control is present. When irreparable events or catastrophes occur—whether war, famine, drought, Chernobyl, a husband leaving, or a child dying—man naturally turns to God. He remembers his Heavenly Father and seeks protection in Him because, in reality, he is defenseless. Indeed, if you think carefully about how we live, you will see that it is all by God’s mercy. Our lives are literally always hanging by a thread, subject to absurd coincidences, with illness and death ever so close. It is so easy to die, and the fact that we all live is God’s mercy—it is a miracle. (source: link txt, page: 1)

Thus, the fate of the world is predestined within the framework of an all-encompassing divine plan, where the key element is the crucified death that sets the course for subsequent events, and divine governance enables man to seek refuge in moments of impending calamities and irreversible events. God, as the supreme power, not only directs the course of history but is also the one to whom people turn for protection and hope in difficult times.
