What is God's unfolding work?

Nature was the first tangible manifestation brought to bear as an unfolding of God's work. 

All else remained in an ulterior state, compared with the rapid strides and immense growth attained by Nature. It has spanned all space, taken for its magnitude the sphere of other worlds, and it times its great magnetic attraction by that Power who bade it come forth and assume the responsible position of becoming the habitation for a higher representation of work already begun. 

The work of Nature has ever been guided with that certainty, precision and purpose in view, which indicate a power latent and full of design.
