@PageauJonathan 8/ The messianic prototype fuses prophet and trickster—not as opposites, but as overlapping currents of eschatological capacity: truth-teller and frame-breaker, seer and subverter, revealing God’s truth and destabilizing the world’s counterfeit order in a cruciform pattern.

#StGeorgesDay Who then is George or Khezr as he's known in Islam? Some kind of weird mystical trickster? Not at all. He stands for something essential and ordinary about us. A natural aspect of being with life where the worldly and spiritual, earthly and celestial, mix and match.

Quoted by24/ In a prophetological vein, “madness” is often just apocalypsis in slow motion: the scandal of things being unveiled before we have the capacity to bear them. Truth is apocalyptic; the messianic is its hermeneutic—linking hiddenness and unveiling, personal and cosmic, at once.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @BremenBod I recall the Redcrosse Project, an effort by contemporary English poets to reclaim St. George from his co-opting by the UK's far right. Fitting, too, that St. George represents a central, interspiritual, Eliatic prototype—most notably in his tie to Islam's Green Prophet, Khezr.Quoted by@BremenBod I recall the Redcrosse Project, an effort by contemporary English poets to reclaim St. George from his co-opting by the UK's far right.

No politician, pundit, or scholar gives assent. It arrives without permission—healing, yes, but also riding against the dragon’s throne, the official mythos, the Antichrist consensus, the entire order keeping it all intact.Quoted by@serbiaireland No priest, pandit, or mullah sanctions the messianic.
