The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved. Jeremiah 8:20 When I was a boy. I couldn’t imagine anything beyond the year 2000. I’m not sure how much of that had to do with the supposed importance of the beginning of a new millennium
1. I'm seeing arguments that Revelation already happened. This fits with your reference to harvests. It would also fit with a cyclical or evolutionary understanding of timeliness. If Revelation already happened, then that is bizarre and I'm not sure how to process that.
2. I'm in the emergency vet hospital. My dog Mordecai (biblical name) is hanging on. He's pretty skinny, and didn't eat last night, the catabolism that you mention.
3. Given your emphasis on End Times in a little surprised you're not more sympathetic to Trump as the first beast. Other verses seem to fit COVID and Musk (awe at fire in the sky, etc.).
4. Lance pointed it that is unfair to bet against doomers: if the doomers are right, they have no way to collect. He has a good point (as usual).
5. The title "we are not saved" is, on the surface, ambiguous between "Jesus didn't save us" and "the future here is going to be rough". I assume you're referring to some charitable interpretation of the latter. On the former, i strongly favor the interpretation that Jesus saved us by fulfilling the mitzvah and transferring ownership of humanity from YHWH per Re elation 5. It's far from clear to me what the implications of that saving are (do whatever we want? Angels and harps? Pre/post tribulation rapture?).
6. It's deliciously ironic, if we are right, that all of these End Times concepts are relevant, because they are so stigmatized in intellectual fashion. It reminds me of Peter Thiel: if you're not allowed to say it, it's probably true.
