Our proclamations of the  apocalypse  now are as premature as they are perpetual.  The postponement of fixating evil in ultimate judgment lessens our capacity to live reconciled.  And so, we chronically suffer revelations of the age to come, of the years of our lords, and with them their concomitant unfulfilled desires for the cessation of our unchecked and unabated atrocities.  We build in isolation the end, construct each moment the finality, take shelter in the impending desolation of ourselves.  Of our own accord, we turn in adoration to any other, or the next, not here, not here, but now.

Rev 18:22

 

And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.

Rev 15:2

Heavy as limbs ascending

Twice distinguished from stone

Embracing the dark unending

Untrodden beneath the known
