@phelismino9455 The Second Advent, then, as a _planetary_ pedagogical method equal to the gospel transmission of a radical transformation in the meaning of power in the unitive core of the human being, whereby all the heart’s quests are revalued and hierarchies of history reversed.

Copy of tweet here: 2/ "We do not preach only one coming of Christ, but the second as well, much more glorious. The first coming was marked by patience; the second brings the crown of a divine kingdom. We look then beyond the first coming to the second.” - Cyril of Jerusalem Quote tweet: "The second coming is but a deeper understanding of the first coming." – Moriarty · 3/ "The Savior will not come to be judged again, but to judge those by whom he was judged. His first coming was to fulfill his plan of love, to teach men by gentle persuasion. This time, whether men like it or not, they will be subjects of his kingdom by necessity." - Cyril of J.
@ThinkingFaith Like a thief in the night. Surprise, Illich avers, is the structure of messianic experience. Ultimately, the Eschatological 'Day' or 'Hour' is a promise to Empire as much as to the planetary poor. Not, of course, that a 'Judgment-Deferral Complex' welcomes or announces The Event.

4/ #Quran: And among humankind are those who say they believe in God and the Last Day but they do not believe. @UniteThePoor 5/ #Quran They try to deceive God and those who believe, but they do not deceive anyone except themselves, although they do not know it. 6/ #Quran: And when they are told not to make trouble on earth, they say that they are only doing good. Is it not that they are in fact the troublemakers without even knowing it? 7/ #Quran And you are not the guide of the blind out of their error; you cannot make anyone hear but those who believe in Our signs and have submitted. And on the day the hour arrives the guilty will swear they only lingered a while; that is how deluded they were. 8/ #Quran And those to whom was given knowledge and faith will say, “In fact you lingered, according to the book of God, until the day of resurrection. And this is the day of resurrection, although you have not perceived.”

9/ #Quran If you could only see when abusers are stood before their Lord, throwing back allegations at one another. Those who had been despised of will say to the arrogant, “If not for you, we would have been believers!” 10/ #Quran The arrogant will say to the despised, “Did we hold you back from the guidance after it came to you? No, you were the guilty ones.” @UniteThePoor 11/ And the despised will say to the arrogant, “No, it was a plot of the night & the day: you commanded us to deny God, and set up idols as equals to God.” And we never sent a warner to a community but its affluent members say, “We reject what you were sent with.”@UniteThePoor 12/ #Quran Assembly of spirits and humanity! Did there not come to you messengers from among you relating My signs and warning you of the meeting of this day of yours?

13/ #Quran If only disbelievers knew of the time when they cannot ward off the fire from their faces or from their backs and they will not be helped! No, it will come upon them unawares, and confound them, so they cannot avert it, and no respite will they have. @UniteThePoor 14/ #Quran And on the day the hour arrives,on that day they will be divided: those who had faith and did good works will be gladdened in a garden… 15/ #Quran while those who disbelieved and repudiated Our signs and the final meeting will be brought to punishment. @UniteThePoor 16/ #Quran 2:136 “Say: We believe in God and that which was revealed unto us, and that which was revealed unto Abraham, and Ismail, and Isaac, and Jacob, and the tribes, and that which Moses and Jesus received and that which the Prophets received from their Lord...” @UniteThePoor end/ #Quran. “...We make no distinctions between any of them, and unto Him we surrender.”@UniteThePoor
