In II Thess. 2:8 Paul declares that “that Wicked shall be revealed.” In explaining this verse, Mrs. Eddy once said, “Mortal thought awakened, is startled at its own shadow. While it slumbered, the shadow was unperceived It must needs learn the nothingness of itself and its shadow; then the fear, which in its ignorance was unconscious, and became conscious at the awakening will pass away – for mortal mind will see that it need not be afraid of itself.” Mary Baker Eddy (Carpenter, Gilbert, 500 Watching Points, #190)
