Co-operation <strong>and</strong>union will be established, <strong>and</strong> finally war will be entirelysuppressed.... Universal peace will raise its tent in <strong>the</strong> centreof <strong>the</strong> earth, <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> Blessed Tree of Life will grow <strong>and</strong>spread to such an extent that it will overshadow <strong>the</strong> East <strong>and</strong><strong>the</strong> West. Strong <strong>and</strong> weak, rich <strong>and</strong> poor, antagonistic sects<strong>and</strong> hostile nations—which are like <strong>the</strong> wolf <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> lamb, <strong>the</strong>leopard <strong>and</strong> kid, <strong>the</strong> lion <strong>and</strong> calf—will act towards each o<strong>the</strong>rwith <strong>the</strong> most complete love, friendship, justice, <strong>and</strong> equity.The world will be filled with science, with <strong>the</strong> knowledge of<strong>the</strong> reality of <strong>the</strong> mysteries of beings, <strong>and</strong> with <strong>the</strong> knowledgeof God.—Some Answered Questions, pp. 74–75.
