@BrianZahnd Appreciate the heads-up. In practical effect, that is, in actuality, the Church's trajectory isn't constitutionally messianic: rather, it's katechonic. No matter, the power of modernity can no more deny our immediate reckoning with the Planetary Christ than defy the power of God.

Copy of tweet here: …“upon whom the ends of the ages have come.” The baptized do not cling to the disappearing past but embrace the emerging future—a future framed in peace. The church is to be a present witness to the eschatological future of peace that Jesus Christ initiated through his cross. Until we begin truly witnessing to the arrival, as distinct from future of peace, the 'eschatological proviso' will remain just that, a clause. And how and where do we imagine the second messianic will express this time round? Through the usual channels? Ad-supported? C'mon. I'm reminded of Don DeLillo: "News is the last addiction before - what?" A media event rescuing our future from the power of propaganda? The 'deus ex machina' of God's coming and arrival?
@JMGreerWriter How about a future where political colors denote a lunatic historical interlude? The planetary-saving advent, then, of a liberation of truth junking the Greater Brainwash, concomitantly freeing us to immense pastures of ontological promise and possibility, previously withheld.
