History. End of history

¹⁴ And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:
¹⁵ And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed (τοῦ σπέρματός σου) and her seed (τοῦ σπέρματος αὐτῆς); it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

Gen 3:14-15

This is the major historical battle which goes on. This enmity is the meaning of the history of the world.

The victory ends the history

This enmity is the central point of the history of mankind. God watches with interest the development of events: “Let both grow together until the harvest” (Mat 13:30).

Finally, one side will win. At this point the enmity is completed and the history is fulfilled. The winner is known. The enmity finished and it does not make any sense to continue the history. Creator immediately ends the history: “But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come” (Mar 4:29).

If the winner is the seed of the serpent

⁸ Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
⁹ And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
¹⁰ Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

Mat 4:8-10

In such organization the highest member of the seed of the serpent must obey the serpent, still be not the highest but lower then the serpent. Will his pride be satisfied? Obviously not and he will fight the serpent himself. Then the Satan's kingdom will be divided and it will not survive.

If the winner is the seed of the woman

The creaturely Sophia must be united in one life with the Divine Sophia on the basis of the unity of hypostasis living in the two natures. This is the task and goal of creation.

So great is God's love for creation that, in calling the latter to being, He gives it His Own, the Divine Sophia, as the foundation of its being, in order, further, to give it Himself as well, uniting it with His own Divine life. This is precisely the foundation of the Divine-human process. Humanity, the center and cryptogram of the world, is the image of the Divine Humanity. It is thus called to approach the Proto-image, and this convergence can go so far as to become a living identification with the Proto-image. This is the task and goal of creation. God creates future "gods by grace" for inclusion in the multihypostatic multiunity of the Holy Trinity and in the unity of Divine life. This is the final foundation of the creative act. The creaturely Sophia must be united in one life with the Divine Sophia on the basis of the unity of hypostasis living in the two natures: The idea of the Chalcedonian dogma, of the unihypostatic bi-unity of the two natures, Divine and human, of the Divine and the creaturely Sophia, must receive not only a christological but also an anthropological and cosmological significance.

First of all, the end of the world must be understood in connection with the Parousia, and even in a certain sense, as the Parousia in the cosmic aspect. The earth and the world are not only a physical or geographical (cosmic) place for Parousia in a purely external sense, but its metaphysical receptacle. It must correspond to its purpose — to be worthy of meeting the Lord in Glory. For the world in its present state cannot accommodate Parousia, it ignites at her approach, melts in her fire. In this sense, the present world will not see the coming Lord at all, and His advent will not take place on this earth in scorching Glory. Within the world itself, this parousia must first take place, it will be illuminated by its lightning, which has to flash for it from the east and even to the west. The world will not remain indifferent in its state to the approach of the coming Lord; all creation trembles at him. And this trembling of the creature will be its kindling.
