RT @nick_routledge: @HeartOfBabel @BrianZahnd Totalizing, yes, even as the whole, damn shebang mercifully turns upon a Day. The original meaning of 'apocalypsis'?

Copy of tweet thread here: 2/ "We do not preach only one coming of Christ, but the second as well, much more glorious. The first coming was marked by patience; the second brings the crown of a divine kingdom. We look then beyond the first coming to the second.” - Cyril of Jerusalem Quote tweet "The second coming is but a deeper understanding of the first coming." – Moriarty 3/ "The Savior will not come to be judged again, but to judge those by whom he was judged. His first coming was to fulfill his plan of love, to teach men by gentle persuasion. This time, whether men like it or not, they will be subjects of his kingdom by necessity." - Cyril of J.
