Changes

[[Christianity]] inherited the apocalyptic; and, in [[fact]], the last [[New Testament]] book, the [[Book of Revelation]], like the [[Book of Daniel]], is one of the finest examples of this literary form. [[Jesus]] used the apocalyptic style ([http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_Mark#Chapter_15 Mk ch. 15]), and the [[Apostles]] after the [[Resurrection]] did likewise ([http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=1st_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Thessalonians 1] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2nd_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Thessalonians 2 Thess]). Soon, however, the tendency set in of seeing apocalyptic [[hopes]] already [[realized]] in [[Jesus]]' [[presence]], in the gift of [[Spirit of Truth|the Spirit]], and in the liturgy ([http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Romans Romans] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gospel_of_John Gospel of St. John]). Christians, however, still looked forward to a [[Morontia Temple|new heaven and a new earth]] ([http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=2nd_Letter_of_Peter 2 Pt]), when sorrow would be totally removed ([http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Romans#The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Romans.2C_VIII Rom ch. 8]) and the fullness of the Godhead revealed ([http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Ephesians Ephesians] and [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=The_Letter_of_Paul_to_the_Colossians Colossians]). Then would apocalyptic [[hopes]] be satisfied, and [[vision]] and [[symbol]] be turned into [[reality]].
