The biblical horizon is larger than individual rescue.

Acts 3:21 gives the Priesthood its most direct scriptural phrase: the restoration, or restitution, of all things. The text places restoration within God's long purpose announced through the prophets. Restoration is therefore not a modern slogan placed onto Scripture from outside; it is a biblical horizon that deserves theological weight.

Ephesians 1:9-10 speaks of God's purpose to gather all things in Christ. Colossians 1:20 speaks of reconciliation reaching all things in heaven and on earth. These texts are interpreted differently across Christian traditions, especially concerning the final scope of salvation, but they clearly enlarge the horizon beyond isolated private experience.

The Priesthood does not require a particular doctrine of universal salvation in order to affirm cosmic restoration. It is enough to say that God's purpose concerns creation, relationships and the ordering of life under Christ, not only the private afterlife of individual believers.

Revelation 21 presents the biblical story's final horizon as new creation and God's dwelling with humanity. The movement is from garden to city, from creation to renewed creation, from tears and death toward the promise that God makes all things new.

This creates a disciplined hope. Christians cannot manufacture the kingdom by human power, yet neither are they licensed to abandon the world because God will renew it. Biblical hope produces faithful labour precisely because the future belongs to God.

The restoration of all things is therefore both promise and vocation: God's work grounds the hope; human obedience participates in its signs.
