@richvillodas Exactly. Rohr: "How you get there is where you will arrive." So, does the preacher violate the reality of Kingdom hermaneutics or do his acts and speech disclose the reality Jesus announces _now_? Brown: "The real fight is not the political fight but to put an end to politics."

But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye shut up the kingdom of heaven against men: for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. Its not complicated. "It is incredible dishonesty in the human heart to pray daily that this kingdom should come, that God's will be done on earth as in heaven, and at the same time to deny that Jesus wants this kingdom to be put into practice on earth” - @RichardRohrOFM 2/3 1t may help to say what the Messiah means by the reign of God" or Kingdom’ or 'basileia’ in NT Greek. It isn't heaven, a futurity, or where we go once we die. Rather, it's close at hand; a break-through into the Realness of _this_realm; on Earth as it is in Heaven."

True, and yet the full-blown advent of messianic reality involves the
concrete reality of totalizing, political change, the planetary shedding of
“the demonic complex” (D.E.H. Whiteley) realized upon God's Day. The Kingdom came to put an end to politics. This, we may live_now.

@austeni Screeds and creeds simply won't cut it, nor, more to the point, will the febrile, pollyannaish, adamantine enchantment possessing our chattering classes no less than it does our global, transcultural, transnational, metastasizing religio-political matrix of fascist universalism.

Copy of tweet and quote tweet: Agreed and, frankly, a worldwide contagion: Jihadists, Zionists, Hindutvavadis, 969ers, Crusaders, they're all at it. And whilst we're not the only only ones suffering from this plague, nor are we the only ones God welcomes. This, hardly news to planetary prophetology, of course. Quote Tweet Clearly, the supercharged universality of this phenomenon - pat, predictable, cookie-cutter dialectics of ethnonationalism, purity and exclusion, span a dizzying array of languages, cultures and borders, just now - powerfully affirms its common, transcultural, archetypal origins.

Copy of tweet and quote tweet: 1/ Hence the fundamental nature, role and promise of the political liberator, savior or Great Emancipator, here to revision the bodies, minds and souls of men in a bastardized, religio-nationalist image of the messianic hopes of our times. The transcendent function, perverted. Quote Tweet @nick_routledge Apr 22, 2021 In other words, the bastard appeal of such ethno-nationalist analogs is universally paradigmatic. How then, to effectively address the immense planetary forces encouraging the emergence and powerful enchantment of such personalities and their platforms?
