26: Two or Three Kinds of Apocalypses
There are two kinds of apocalypses.
- The kind we cannot control—the world as we know it ends catastrophically and unexpected. Meteor strike, or disease or …
- The kind we bring on ourselves and can control—ugly pollution in the past, climate change now.
“Some people have tremendous concern about the apocalypse we can’t control and nowhere near enough concern for the one we can control.” <Bell’s emphasis.>
There is a third kind of apocalypse. The Bible talks about the earth an everything in it being revealed and restored. And when we act in anticipation of that, we are takin part in the future. “A true apocalypse isn’t something to be feared but something to be celebrated. And entered into. Now.”
