“The Church at the present time is in a temporary state analogous to that of Israel when she sinned against God. The Church is in something of an “exile.” Individual Christians at this point in history are in a situation analogous to that of Daniel in exile. This Christian “diaspora” is not permanent, however, Christ’s prayer will be answered, and there will be visible unity in the Church again. This unity will be the work of God. it will be a visible unity based in Christian truth, not a Roman uniformity based on late medieval papal theories or an ecumenical unity based on compromising the essentials of the faith [Think – Evangelicals and Catholics Together]. It will be a biblical and ecclesiastical unity under one Lord, confessing one faith, and administering one baptism. The one visible Church will once again recognize and confess the rightful role of Scripture and her proper relationship with it” (Keith A. Mathison, The Shape of Sola Scriptura, 325).
