@lukeburgis 3/ This is why “just change the theology” is naive and “theology doesn’t matter” is equally so. The gods we confess are late justifications until they become the only language in which a community can hear judgment on its idols and imagine an order beyond its interests.

@alerwee @tenshi_anna Yes. Exceptionalism cannot be argued down, only revealed at scale: the "eschatological–interpretive horizon" of 'apocalypsis'—planetary parousia-ontogenesis—including and transcending the architectonic orders, containment and limits of inherited secular and religious imaginaries.

Tweet: Ungoverned by religion, nor rivaled by politics, incarnation detonates the wall between God and history, inaugurating a new stratum of reality for all to walk in, embodied as the common life of the world—kinship beyond every earthly throne: messianic reign without rule. Live it! 9/ Benjamin may find his closest contemporary counterpart in the Iranian, Ali Shari’ati, who similarly affirms that neither politics nor religion alone suffice to furnish the world a means of liberation and redemption involving the fusion of their respective messianic traditions. The New Testament. Cayley: "What is revealed in the New Testament, according to Illich, is a summons beyond all cultural or religious containment." 4/ Turning the page. "Jesus is not the creator of another religion but the victor over religion. He is not the maker of another law but the conqueror of law. He is the end of religion, above Christianity and non-Christianity." - #PaulTillich And tweet here:  and end/ Cultivation becomes consummation; the shared future ignites. What was tended in hope now flares into the world ablaze with unveiled meaning. In the end, Revelation isn’t a distant doctrine but a felt convergence—truth with heft opening a new dimension for all to walk in. Quote tweet: No priest, pandit, or mullah sanctions the messianic. 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 by30/ The unveiled real does not ask for alignment; it is realignment itself. Every knee bows not because freedom is violated but because the infrastructure protecting denial dissolves. Truth doesn't force recognition—it simply becomes inescapable to sight no longer averted.Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @tenshi_anna The messianic interjection doesn’t argue down the immunitary order—it ruptures it, announcing the end of the bargain itself: apocalypsis as the unveiling of a holiness that cannot be purchased with anyone’s blood. Planetary-scale judgment and the alternative in the same stroke.Quoted by@tenshi_anna The messianic interjection doesn’t argue down the immunitary order—it ruptures it, announcing the end of the bargain itself: apocalypsis as the unveiling of a holiness that cannot be purchased with anyone’s blood.

Blake, not unnaturally, is apt: “The Religions of all Nations are derived from each Nation’s different reception of the Poetic Genius, which is every where call’d the Spirit of Prophecy.”Quoted by@Plough 1/ At the theo-experiential seam, Islam has an easier time with the Zwickau archetype.
