Soloviev foresees a united Church as the Mystical Body of Christ – a necessary evangelical fulfillment of Jesus’ priestly prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane that we may all be one, so completely one that the world will know that the Father sent His Son to redeem us (John 17:21).
Soloviev envisions a worldwide Christian renewal of Protestants, Orthodox and Catholic Christians who reunite during the reign of Antichrist.
