32/ The Word doesn’t wait in temples or texts. The messianic doesn’t arrive with permission. It isn’t ratified by priests, pandits or mullahs. It moves. It arrives. Holiness is no longer postponed. The eschaton has broken cover. It is present and incarnate—and it builds.

Tweet 1:

Just as a concrete definition is an impossibility, so it is much harder to give even an approximate definition of the word 'concrete' itself;... It is difficult, because one is brought face to face, on the very threshold, with the whole mystery of creation and even incarnation."

Tweet 2:
Simply put? Every resurrection requires a home address. Indeed, we only come home to concrete reality in so far as we and the world complete one another - the simultaneity of de Chardin's spiritualization of the material and materialization of the spiritual. Here, Moltmann:

Tweet 3: [Edited to fit alt-text]
Thus, redemption doesn't destroy the world…the da'wat becomes Paridaez Now.

Painting with calligraphy: “The colors of the grove and the voices of the birds will “restore immortality at the time when we shall come into the garden, thou and I.”

@jonas_adelin @DKinterchurch @Oikoumene @ceceurope Following on from @jakobwiren, perhaps consider the Eliatic function - the ontic advent of a planetary prophetology which, crucially, in incarnation alone, illuminates a 'foreign policy' (Svartik) of 'co-evolutionary synergy' transcending religious and cultural Balkanization.

13/ As a rule, revelation manifests as meaningful coincidence or synchronicity, the primary hallmark of rich interplay at work. We look, then, to resonant complementarities spanning the richly diverse 'cosmovisions' (Panikkar) through which different peoples experience the world.

14/ Frankly, highly distinctive, unique, kaleidoscopic cultural forms corresponding to a common pattern or 'archetype' aren't exceptional. Their trans-cultural integration, united in mutuality as a powerfully configured, synergistic force and direction is more rare.

15/ Even where civilizations are antagonists and shadowed by fierce distance, a deeper, more compelling dimension of primordial, transcendent ground still serves as a relational magnet and bridge for the emergence of novel, cross-fertilizing iterations of a greater whole.

end/ What if the Final Word amounts to a speech act owing its inclusivity precisely to its *planetary* reconciliatory character? To our active participation in a dynamic earthly and human solidarity transcending secular and religious limits? To the saving grace of a fresh start?

1/Wonderful, thank you. I wonder if the ultimacy of an inclusive eschatology (Adorno's, "Knowledge has no light but that shed on the world by redemption") holds an essential, evolutionary key to bridging the reconciliatory limits still defining both esoteric and exoteric promise.

4/ The web of life is a food web. As such, the reinhabitory foodshed movement defines the leading edge of a planetary reconciliation in which faithful aspiration toward personal, corporate, earthly and cosmic harmony coalesces in a simultaneity of human and earthly resurrection.

Quoted byend/ The prophets don’t conjure the eschaton—they embody it. Planetary Pentecost is not just descent, but gathering. Not conquest, but communion. Not speculation, but incarnation. The fire is real. The Body is one. The hour has come. Let those with eyes, see.
