# Geerhardus Vos on the Manifestation of the Kingdom of God

“Undoubtedly the kingship of God, as his recognized and applied supremacy, is intended to pervade and control the whole of human life in all its forms of existence. This the parable of the leaven plainly teaches. These various forms of human life have each their own sphere in which they work and embody themselves. There is a sphere of science, a sphere of art, a sphere of the family and of the state, a sphere of commerce and industry. Whenever one of these spheres comes under the controlling influence of the principle of the divine supremacy and glory, and this outwardly reveals itself, there we can truly say that the kingdom of God has become manifest.” — [Geerhardus Vos](/authors/geerhardus-vos), *The Teaching of Jesus Concerning the Kingdom of God and the Church* (1903), pp. 162-163
