People often talk about something as “apocalyptic” or “the apocalypse.” Whenever they do, I often feel like saying, “You keep using that word, but I do not think it means what you think it means.”
True words.. well said at an important time.
These texts are poorly understood and often wilfully misused by those with questionable agendas.
Can you please now convince the likes of those who were inspired by these texts to storm the Capitol Building....
And those who wish to turn Gaza into a carpark built on the bones of Neo-nates and their Mothers.
And those who, inspired by a completely spurious and neurotic reading of these texts forget the most important lines of all...
that 'He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or mourning, nor crying nor pain...'
Thanks Mike. Would it be right to say that Apocalyptic literature means when John says 'he had a vision', he didn't actually have a vision?
No, it means he wrote down what he saw.
So 'inspiration' in the case of apocalyptic is different to the rest of Scripture? That is, more stenographic.
keen for your thoughts on this
