RT @nick_routledge: @jdj_writes Curious to what degree you perceive concrete reality as the covenantal realm in which the irruption of a 'new temporality' comes to ground - the interruptive mercy of a messianic ontology yoking the architecture of redemptive time to wholesale, planetary political transformation?

Copy of tweet herre: end/ ...where Agamben describes “a breakthrough into, not out of, concrete history”; Keller, "a temporality that cannot be controlled and corralled by any institution"; and Moltmann, "neither the future of time, nor timeless eternity...the transcendent breaking-in of eternity".
@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
