V.Its existence as certainly future is on the last day of this world, hidden in the treasures of divine wisdom.Scriptures: Acts 17:31; Rom. 2:5; 2 Thess. 1; Matt. 24:36; 25:31.Detestable are the Borborians, Floriani, Manichees and Proclinianites who denied it.In vain we try to compute the years; Christ forbade it (Acts 1:7).
VI.The principal efficient cause is the Holy Trinity as to authority and power; the visible form and exercise is the Son of God in assumed human nature.To him is given all judgment (John 5:22, 27), all power (Matt. 28:18); he is appointed (Acts 17:31) — not as a delegated judge but as prince by appropriation.The saints enter partnership not as to authority in themselves, but inasmuch as in Christ the head they pronounce, approve, and testify by their life.

V. Existentia illius certo futura est in ultimo hujus mundi die, in sapientiae divinae thesauris abscondito. Scripturae: Act. 17.31; Rom. 2.5; 2 Thess. 1; Matth. 24.36; 25.31. Detestandi Borboriani, Floriani, Manichaei & Proclinianitae qui negabant. Frustra annos computare conamur; Christus prohibuit Act. 1.7. VI. Causa efficiens principalis est SS. Trinitas quoad authoritatem & potestatem; visibilem formam & exercitium est Filius Dei in humana natura assumpta. Huic datum omne judicium Joh. 5.22.27; omnis potestas Matth. 28.18; designatus Act. 17.31 — non ut judex delegatus, sed ut princeps per appropriationem. Sancti in consortium veniunt non quantum ad authoritatem in ipsis, sed quatenus in Christo capite ferunt, approbant, testimonio vitae testificantur.
