| Summary |
"Sureeko Suomi Jumalan mielen mukaan?" by Mauno Rosendal is a religious treatise written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the spiritual and moral questions of the Finnish people, examining their historical struggles through a biblical lens and seeking to understand their place within God's plan. Centered around the metaphor of the "watchman," the text interrogates national identity and divine purpose, challenging readers to reflect on their faith and the direction of their nation. At the start of the text, Rosendal sets a somber and reflective tone, invoking the imagery of winter in Finland as a metaphor for spiritual darkness and hardship. He poses the rhetorical question, "Watchman, what of the night?" as a call for introspection regarding the nation's spiritual state. The narrative discusses the historical suffering and challenges faced by the Finnish people, ranging from foreign powers to internal strife, and connects these struggles to a divine educational purpose. Through references to biblical scripture and Finnish historical context, the opening portion emphasizes the hope for a forthcoming spiritual awakening and the necessity for the nation to align itself with God’s will against the backdrop of its many trials.
