@UssamaMakdisi end/ In part, the monumental significance of the cataclysm now unfolding in the Holy Land derives from the encounter of the three great Semitic religions and, correspondingly, the unifying articulation of an Eliatic concordance miraculously revealed in tripartite reconciliation.

Copy of tweet thread here: 1/ I hadn't encountered the Rabbinic connection though it certainly resonates with Khezr's Eliatic function as a trans-historical, prophetic prototype heralding a fundamentally *reconciliatory* dimension of experience coalescing, ultimately, as a planetary-saving arrival. 1/ The green prophetic prototype is an ancient one. The core, transcultural 'transmitter', combining several Quranic, Biblical and ancient mythical heroes, is reckoned to be Khezr, the 'Islamic' prototype of Elijah, the prophetic Green Man of Islam… Quote tweet: Transcending and including cultures, religions and *realms*, no less. Indeed, perhaps his revelatory significance as a fundamentally reconciliatory, planetary archetype has never been more clear-cut?

@BrianZahnd Alyosha Karamazov: “We are all responsible for everyone else - but I am more responsible than all the others.’’ Where Jeremiah was appointed “a prophet to the nations”, who, these days, is projecting prophetic radicalism upon a universal, trans-cultural, world-historical plane?

Copy of thread here: Thread 1/ #WalterBrueggemann's 'The Practice of Prophetic Imagination’: “Prophetic preaching does not put people in crisis. Rather it names and makes palpable the crisis already pulsing among us...” “We are, for the most part, double-minded. There is hidden deep within most of us, I suspect, a profound tension between these narratives, knowing better than to trust the dominant narrative but having a huge stake in its being true, wanting the gospel narrative to be true...” “but reluctant to speak another language about the world other than the one in which we are palpably invested. It is the hard work of prophetic preaching, I propose, to make that tension explicit, available & visible, in order to permit informed, knowing choices.” - Brueggemann

Quoted by@brianmclaren 18/ In ‘Abrahamic’ cultures, the manifestation most fully denoting the Revelatory Principle is Elias, described in the Quran in a plural form, ‘Illyāsīn’ (Q 37 130-131), comprising all figures, real or imaginal, fulfilling the function of universal initiator, authority and guide.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @NaksBilal @ShakiraSecurity It perhaps bears noting that the civilizational encounter represented in this particular catastrophe of a global religio-political control-complex with no operative interest in reconciliatory reformation, summons the advent of planetary prophetology's unifying articulation.Quoted by@NaksBilal @ShakiraSecurity It perhaps bears noting that the civilizational encounter represented in this particular catastrophe of a global religio-political control-complex with no operative interest in reconciliatory reformation, summons the advent of planetary prophetology's unifying articulation.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @wilsonhartgrove @RevDrBarber @ShaneClaiborne @MaeEliseCannon @rodney_sadler Ultimately, the catastrophe of a global religio-political control-complex with no operative interest in reconciliatory reformation, summons the advent of planetary prophetology's unifying articulation - the planetary-saving righteousness of an inclusive eschatology, revealed.Quoted by@wilsonhartgrove @RevDrBarber @ShaneClaiborne @MaeEliseCannon @rodney_sadler Ultimately, the catastrophe of a global religio-political control-complex with no operative interest in reconciliatory reformation, summons the advent of planetary prophetology's unifying articulation - the planetary-saving righteousness of an inclusive eschatology, revealed.
