RT @nick_routledge: @GabrielSaidR 'Surprise!' as they say. Our 'Day' of liberation in which an Extinction Tyranny defined by maniacal, interlocking, global structures of secular and religious consciousness and power, is espistemically demolished by the planetary-saving righteousness of the force of truth itself.

Ultimately, an inclusive eschatology serves up a democratic claim. t.co/nXwe176qRY

Passage boundary: 2 The status quo Source: Preserve quoted-author distinctions; the containing tweet does not confer authorship. @jbralston @uoedivinity @RimSarah @josh_good_ 2/ The 'status quo' of a totalizing, global, religio-political control-complex with no effective interest in reconciliatory reformation, implicitly requires rejecting co-evolutionary consciousness. The applied revelation of a planetary prophetology simply end-runs the power play.
