End Of Times

Contrary to what the Right Reverend John Hagee thinks, I do not believe End of Time to be anywhere in the immediate neighborhood. I do not definitely say it isn't, either. If you think I am waffling about it, I would point out that this is the type of thing Blaise Pascal would have said 300 years ago....and it turned out to be correct. I do not wallow in myths of destruction, for God is not the product of Fear, just as God is not the product of Love. (1)As we stand and watch a beautiful sunset and say such beauty proves that God exists, I say humbug. No such thing. (2)As we watch horrors, some people say such things prove God does not exist. I say nonsense again. (3)As we anticipate horrors and fearful times, some say that such fears prove that God exists; i.e., He will fulfill an interpretation of scripture. Nonsense again. This is what I mean by the sub-title of this Blog: If you go embrace Fear and Loathing, you will wake up with the biggest hang-over ever seen. If, that is, if you ever do wake up. Fear leads to Flight, not Coming-together. Fear is a Going-apart. The only reason mad men worship their Berserker Jehovah in Apocalyptic Jerusalem is because they have run away to the ends of the Earth and discovered that the love of their imaginary god is no different from the hate of their devil. So they come back to worship in their despair, despairing of the love of God. All this happens soon, for the world of small minds is Now and the important figures are They Themselves. They have not the wit to be humble, even though their God tells them to be. Their God has told them they will not know the time of His coming, and like Dr. Faust they nod in agreement then go to their laboratory of arcane knowledge and prove God wrong again - for such men as we, we know the mind of God. It's a hard rain that will fall, but it won't be on an all Christian Jerusalem.
