A Whirling Graveyard
from The Bible as Literature · host The Ephesus School
It is practically impossible for human beings to consider any question without worrying about what’s in it for them. Unfortunately (or fortunately) for us, the Lord’s teaching in Matthew disallows this question. Jesus blows past the many anxious and self-involved human questions to posit the post-apocalyptic, divine premise of Genesis: everything created is already returning to the dust. Based on this premise, there is only one question: is there anything that does not pass away?Richard and Fr. Marc discuss Matthew 24:1-3.Episode 370 Matthew 24:1-3; Music:Darkest Child by Kevin MacLeodLink: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/3615-darkest-childLicense: https://filmmusic.io/standard-license ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★
