"Behold, all these are kingdoms, and any man who hath seen any or the least of these, hath seen God moving in his majesty and power.
"I say unto you, he hath seen him; nevertheless, he who came unto his own was not comprehended.
"The light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehendeth it not; nevertheless, the day shall come when you shall comprehend even God; being quickened in him and by him.
"Then shall ye know that ye have seen me, that I am, and that I am the true light that is in you, and that you are in me, otherwise ye could not abound."[A]
[Footnote A: Ibid. Sec. lxxxviii:41-50.]
A more complete or thorough-going statement of the ever-whereness of God in the world, accompanied with the idea of power—God immanent, dynamic, as well as present,—I do not remember to have seen.
