It warned that one heaven-shattering "day," people would discover that the "Christ" they had followed, was a "false Christ."

In my reading, they learn to see that logic and reason and science, are their true savior.

On the "Day" you acquire Reason, and see this, blind, "faith"ful obedience to authority is no longer needed. And the Bible is thereby discharged, or "fulfilled." As authority is now given to Reason and Science.
