Dear John and Doves -
I'm having second thoughts about
discounting the idea that Revelation
11:10 may point to a December celebration. This
coming December may have no cause at all for celebration,
since ongoing worldwide economic disaster seems unavoidable,
and this may be coupled with ongoing environmental disaster
and some political re-alignments that will make most folks
just want to get 2012 over with.
But hope may spring eternal, and habits
die hard. Perhaps by 2015 or so, people will be
looking for any reason to celebrate, and a
resuscitated Saturnalia may be just the ticket.
Best,
Steve
