@firstthingsmag end\ This coincidence is a meeting place: not because either structure concedes ground, but because both lose the ground their antagonism requires. Messianic accord begins where revelation discredits and transcends the dominative epistemic frame that constitutes them as enemies.

Copy of tweet here:

end/ Real apocalypse doesn't stop at naming one enemy. It brings religion, market, empire and interpreter under the same judgment. What the poor are owed isn't another reading of their situation, but the dispossession underwriting the whole arrangement defeated and remade.

@serbiaireland True as testimony, partial as verdict. Spoken from inside a specific seeing, at cost, after long watching, the claim has the weight of earned judgment. Yet seeing the monsters doesn't place us outside the field. It situates us inside the reckoning. The parousia exposes everyone.

Quoted byRT @nick_routledge: @Plough Jesus qualifies Cassidy. Christians are never called to cease loving or praying for anyone. But neither are we called to pursue reconciliation indefinitely when peace is persistently refused. Ultimately, In Christ, division—wheat and tares—is not peace’s opposite but its pathway.Quoted by@Plough Jesus qualifies Cassidy. Christians are never called to cease loving or praying for anyone.
