Claim. Because religion, politics, and economy have progressed separately through the Age of the Prolongation, only a new expression of truth that completely integrates religion and science can converge the three tracks at providential consummation — uniting humanity with God in heart, founding an economy aligned with God’s ideal, and producing a political order realizing the purpose of creation — and this convergence is what constitutes the messianic Kingdom of interdependence, mutual prosperity, and universally shared values.
Elaboration. Per Part 2 Ch 5 §7.2.7 closing: religion (internal-providence) and economy (external-providence), like religion and science, have progressed at variance due to the external-before-internal pattern of re-creation (dp-religion-politics-economy-progress-separately-because-re-creation-mirrors-original-creation). The question is how the three aspects can come together at consummation.
The fundamental cause of separate development was the divergence of religion and science — endeavors to overcome humanity’s spiritual and physical ignorance. For the three tracks to converge and realize God’s ideal, a new expression of truth must emerge that completely integrates religion and science.
The integration cascade: (a) a religion founded upon this integrating truth leads humanity to become one with God in heart; (b) such people build an economy aligned with the divine ideal; (c) these found a new political order realizing the purpose of creation. The terminal state is the messianic kingdom built on interdependence, mutual prosperity, and universally shared values.
This convergence-via-new-truth claim is the programmatic anchor for DP itself, which positions itself as candidate for the new truth. The Hegel comparison sharpens here — Hegel’s Absolute-Spirit lacks the original-mind anchor and messianic-arrival trigger; Marxist materialism flips polarity (matter-first); Augustinian providential history holds the two cities parallel without convergence. DP’s claim: only an integrating truth from new revelation collapses the three tracks into one.
The convergence is eschatologically timed at providential consummation, when 6000 years of merit-of-the-age conditions realize horizontally in one final age (per dp-malachi-to-jesus-and-reformation-to-second-advent-parallel-as-400-year-preparation).
Significance. Ch 5 §7’s closing claim — DP’s theological self-positioning in philosophy of history. DP’s distinctive contribution: integrating religion and science via a new expression of truth to collapse the separate-tracks problem. This is DP’s mission-statement at the most abstract level, and the structural reason DP frames itself as continuing rather than replacing prior Christian theology.
