[Eternity,4]
There is no single apocalypse or creation. Eternity is timeless as the Lord is timeless. The end and the beginning are happening all the time thoughout our mode of comprehension. The events leading towards the end are occuring simulataneously with the events leading us towards the beginning. Time is only an attempt at understanding the world around us.
Sin, evil, crime, war, hate-pervade the world around us. They wax and wan throughout the months and seasons, occasionally bubbling up into a greater movement upon the social consciousness. So too however do we find love and peace. We cannot point to a single moment in time and say clearly, here begun man-or here ends man. Without relating one incidence of evil versus one incidence of good together, by treating them as seperate and unqiue incidences-it becomes possible to say that the world ends and begins a million times a day.
When we set off a firework, when does the fire work go off? When we purchase and position the fire work? When we lay down the fuse? When we light the fuse? When the firework lifts into the sky? When the firework explodes? Remove any single action in the chain and the firework would not go off, so why should one event be viewed as more important than the other? In a murder trial to we seperate the death of the women from the gun that fire the bullet from the loading of the bullet and pulling the trigger? Why then should the end of days be considered differently. In an infinite universe there is no one single point for the end, for the end is always occuring around us. The same is true with creation, with death comes birth and all the events that lead up to the birth.
The world of man is always being created and is always dying. The end is occuring as much today as it will tomorrow-creation is occuring as much today as it did as far back in time as we can recall.
