@UniteThePoor 'Bottom up'? "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?" Here, affirmation of the galvanizing power of a universal, resurrective, 'top down', *planetary* turn, corroborating the fundamentally American character of a ‘Third Reconstruction' period announced by USA-based @UniteThePoor

Copy of tweet and quote tweet The major legacy, perhaps? Call it a Global Reckoning for the Nordic Christ, but German and Jewish post-Shoah theologians are largely responsible for the rebirth and recognition of messianism as a credible, concrete, modern, planetary phenomenon. Quote Tweet 2/ “When Jesus proclaims that the kingdom of God is 'at hand', he is not looking into the future in a temporal sense; he is looking into the heaven of the present. The kingdom does not 'come' out of the future into the present. It comes from heaven to earth..." #juergenmoltmann Image of stylized cross with calligraphy: One Heaven. One Earth. One Now.
@AimeTim @UniteThePoor 3/ What *is* ‘poor peoples’ political theology’? For one, we’re clear that redemptive time is actualized in concrete reality, constituting a messianic reality of world emancipation freeing us from enslavement by supremacist political and religious fictions, polemics and powers.

Copy of tweet thread beginning here: With: @moltmannjuergen· I believe that some people will have doubts here because in the future the liberation is not going to be ours; it will be other poeple who want to liberate themenselves – have to liberate themselves – from *us*. And ending with: 1/ #Breakfree the simultaneity. Adorno: “Knowledge has no light but that shed on the world by redemption.” And Moltmann: “The messianic interpretation of the experience of the moment that ends and gathers up time is 'the redemption of the future' from the power of history."

Copy of two tweets: The radical upheaval of prevailing political, economic and social reality, presenting as a global movement to end poverty and injustice, led by the poor? The actualized reality of the Messianic promise. #poorpeoplescampaign Image: Lakota Victory Christ by Fr. John Giuliani. Image of Lakota Victory Christ, arms extended, palms raised. – @nick_routledge and @RichardRohrOFM The messianic era? Coming home to the transcendent fullness of empirical Earth-bound life, effectively completing a co-evolutionary circuit freeing us to a planetary realm of measureless, enfolded, promise and potential. A new world co-creation, in this realm of existence. Photo of Nick embracing Amber and Anochi . All smiles.
