HIs Kingdom Is Not of This World. Yet.

"The story of mankind is the tale of someone who wakes up in Paradise and decides to burn it down. Happens every time. It doesn't matter that the survivors wrote it all down for our edification, because we'll just stop reading the Bible and watch some 'reality' TV show. ...

Each time mankind gets up from catastrophe it says "Mebbe this time, maybe next time." Maybe never."

-- Richard Fernandez, quoted at "How we perish in Paradise."

Good morning, Brother Gerard. The Revelations scripture is my favorite in all the Bible. Thanks!

Amazing graphic! Those of us who buff on history, and are believers, know these things but I love the illustrated map.

It would be interesting to compare a political open/closed system map in the same timeframe.
