“I'll fly away, oh gloryI'll fly away (In the morning)…”The events cryptically referred to in the Book of Revelation were in the past. Like far distant past. The number of the Beast, 666, referred to Emperor Nero in Greek. And if there is any doubt to this, there’s an alternate manuscript of the text that reads 616, which also equals to Nero’s title, in Latin if my memory serves me.I hate to be the one to tell you this, but there will be no Superman who will save us. Escapism isn’t the answer, although it’s quite convenient for people in authority. They don’t mind us waiting around for another 2,000 years. It’s up to us to grow up, man up, put our big boy pants on, take responsibility for ourselves, and try to save ourselves by challenging the leaders who keep dragging us into one crisis after the next. It doesn’t have to be this way, but fatalistic thinking and belief in prophecy has a way of becoming self-fulfilling: if you believe circumstances must be bad, then you’ll be more tolerant of evil, which then allows for circumstances to worsen. Any ideology that accommodates evil, like apocalypticism, helps to make the world … more apocalyptic.
