This may not be the final nail for the guy... hopefully not.
Yeah i agree. Something exotic to get people to read their print...lol. But it likely will have some impact along the way. In general, I like to pepper the trail along the way with events or public notice that resonate with potential themes in our somewhat turning the "justice" corner. For the longest time it had ben obvious for us to expect no justice pretty much ever. And this had been something building steam over time as we could tell. But in terms of eschatology (which may or may not be attachable to most current events and trends in general), I believe in a "justice" motif period theme to likely unfold.
This is a hard sell for at least 2 reasons:
1) We are so used to no justice, its feels almost foolish to believe much will come
2) We know for sure that whatever justice might "peek" its head out will be short lived and then the tribulation
On that last note i guess i would add a third:
3) Eschatology is too view everything through where it ends up in the tribulation like lens
I guess that last point is kind of why i like to pepper the path with a potential justice theme (of course that is if that gets much actual or real traction in any event along the way). From what i have seen over the years, the tribulation filter approach has increased greatly. And for good reason because of where we are along the eschatological path. It makes sense. To such an extent it has seemed to dominate social media in that way.
So what we generally have is those who are aware of the soon coming tribulation. And those who want to hope in human government to fix things or make things better. A view frowned upon because it tends to make this world to much our home. I understand that concern. And i agree with that concern. But I kind of have a 3rd option lol. Which is kind of like the view of how God might wrap things up for an age of grace independent of the tribulation connection (at least as long as the church is still here). I believe a case could be made from scripture. But believers could still see thins differently. I guess i kind of pulse it this way because it would seem to me that ways to look at current events might have more to do with age of grace ending than tribulation starting. A proof text (meaning a text that could prove and may be used like that but may have an entirely different conation altogether) would be Ez 38. Which i would see as age of grace ending...but a capstone historic point the age of grace leads up to. If correct, the events unfolding would seem to more smoothly play into that context perhaps more than mere evil ramping completely up to a tribulation finally.
The difficult with proffering such a view though is that it can often be mistaken for wanting hope is this world too much. Which i understand. But for me it would be more like a story board arc theme in how to perhaps make the most sense on things as for what they are or might be more than how it likely will or must resolve into the tribulation period. So yeah just saying...lol...at this point i guess i'm grabbing at whatever might hint at at least a little temporal hope in flavors of possible justice (for a time) to maybe come. If that makes sense? Blessings.
