Claim. Human conflict has not expanded randomly — it has broadened in scope from family disputes to tribal, social, national, and finally global confrontation. DP (writing in 1996) reads the global stage as the final ideological war between democracy and communism, with that war resolved not by force but by the emergence of a new truth that reconciles religion and science and so overthrows materialism.
Elaboration. Per 2.3. Human History Is the History of the Providence of Restoration: “Battles over property, territory and people have continued without interruption, expanding their scope in step with the progress of human society. The scale of these struggles has broadened from the family level to the levels of tribe, society, nation and world.” DP reads the post-WWI/WWII decolonizations and the formation of the United Nations as the providential phase in which “heavenly law has descended upon the earth in the name of democracy.”
The Last Days conflict is “primarily a war of ideologies”: Marxism-Leninism, by negating religion and absolutizing science, can only be defeated by “a truth which can completely overthrow the ideology” — namely the new truth that reconciles religion and science. The form of the final confrontation is ideological, not merely military.
This atomic represents DP’s text as written in 1996; the post-1991 verification status of its democracy-vs-communism eschatology is a parking-thread question, not internal to the claim.
