Epilogue

Together with all these great and small events there would still be many
hundreds of them to be shown and daily new ones are added. The
most prominent of all wonders of GOD’s visible grace is the existence
of the community around the Sword-Bishop himself. Despite greatest
tribulations, most massive rejection and fight, without any financial se-
curity, it is chiefly a work of constant inner growth. Indeed, it seems that
GOD responds to each rejection, every hardship with even greater
grace. The words of Gamaliel: „For if their purpose or activity is ... of

GOD, this is one of his deepest sufferings, as is shown by the archive
record No. 31 “A Horrific Vision of the Future”.
Theology recognises unambiguous characteristic features for the exami-

gians refuse the Sword-Bishop this examination and nevertheless pro-
nounce a public judgement, they will once be called to account in a
dreadful manner.

Nikolaus Schneider, the Sword-Bishop, stands in the tradition of Chris-
tian mystics and charismatic persons.

His calling through CHRIST, the Head of the Church, lends lawfulness
to his working: „He [CHRIST] is the head of the body, the church. … So
