Revelation 21-22 tell of a great eschatological parade of nations, streaming into the New Jerusalem, each bringing the purity of their respective culture with them into the Kingdom of God. The church in a foretaste, itself an eschatological parade of nations, speaking the good news of God's reconciliation.

QUOTE
- Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.... The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
