Well, that brought back some memories.
Very long ago, I saw that someone was trying to force the return of Christ. And I thought, “Are they really that insane?” Long after that, I have come to realize that sure enough, they really are (“We live on The Planet of the Apes”). It also became very apparent long ago, that the effort to destroy the current “statue of Man” in order to form a newer “bigger” (but not really better) model of Man was under way (an underlying theme in the new released film Captain America). My only issue was that it wasn’t being designed to be better, merely bigger and thus all of the misery being created was pointless. In the film, Captain America saves the world from the man bent on destroying the old world for sake of his new world order. So obviously the Katechon is Captain America.
Trying to save Man by destroying the old order is easy, except for that “saving” bit after the destruction. The effort these days to destroy Man is basically the same as that to destroy all life on Earth, rebooting all life, not merely Man. Even I could reboot life given no other life around (except my own). But what would really be the point?
It seems that they are thinking, “Man cannot be saved until Man is utterly destroyed” (the Antichrist/Destroyer released). So maybe what I see as the inexplicable weakness of the Catholic Church is starting to make sense, “We need to turn the Devil loose so as to allow Jesus to return”. That does seem to fit their recent behavior.
And this gets back to Man vs Machine. Life is very, very tenacious and doesn’t really care if Man is a part of it or not, thus as far as Life is concerned, machines are just fine, perhaps better. All organic life might well be destroyed in Man’s insanity, but Life will continue regardless.
There seems no end to the insanity of Man.
