Conclusion
Great, holy, and merciful God, I long for your final revelation, when
it will become clear to everyone’s eyes that the whole created world
and its history, that all humanity in the course of their lives were, are
and will be in your gracious and strict hand. I thank you too that I
may look forward to this revelation. This I pray in the name of Jesus
Christ, in whom you have loved, chosen and called your people from
all eternity. Amen.^350
