Continuing the discussion of Christian Apocalyptic literature, we read
excerpts from Daniel, who prophesies the coming of the Christ, the
pseudepigraphal Enoch, which expands on the Sons of God mentioned in
the book of Genesis.
The Olivet Discourse is another example, where Jesus expounds on the last days, as a capstone to a series of questions He was asked. Like the early Church, we do not know when the End Times will come, but we must assume that the end may be coming at any time, and we must look for the signs that it is coming. The closing theme is Gerard Satamian's Chansons Sans Paroles Op. 2 Pastorale, from the album Dry Fig Trees. www.magnatune.com |
