@RyanHaecker 1/ Eternity, elsewhere? Apart from now, here? The fullness of time in a moment is an essentially messianic recognition and, with it, concrete reality as the covenantal realm in which redemptive time comes to ground. “Time,” William Blake observes, “is the mercy of eternity.”

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: 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 Painting of cross with calligraphy: One Heaven. One Earth. One Now. Quote Tweet: The messianic interpretation of the experience of the moment that ends & gathers up time is 'the redemption of the future' from the power of history. The eschaton, neither the future of time, nor timeless eternity, is God's coming and arrival. - Moltmann
@jbralston end/ As for the planetary catholicity of God's coming and arrival, Heschel proffers a Judaic perspective on time itself as the transcendent realm through which concrete political reality is ultimately yoked to the redemption of the future from the power of history. God's Day.
