My dear, no. They come suddenly upon you “like a thief in the night,” without warning. It was right here in this City . . in that hotel, . . it was there that mine began, and then when I went back to my home in Southern California, the other three major events took place over a period of three and a half years, or one thousand two hundred and sixty days. You can count it out to the very day, and it comes to exactly 1,260 days, just as told in Scripture. You don’t have any warning, but you do have something that happens prior to that. But I will tell you; I will tell you on Friday. There is a shock that comes to the mind first; the mind is shocked. And then suddenly without warning, the child is born . . you are born. You will come to David. All those things happen in you, as though they were taking place in a world just as real as this. But I will bring this out in detail, as well as I can, when my subject is: “Eschatology.” Now, they all speak of “eschatology,” but I wonder how many of them know what I am talking about? I read in the paper that someone was talking about eschatology; but what he means by “eschatology” is so far removed from “eschatology” . . he means that Jesus Christ is coming in the flesh in the not-distant future, and he hopes that he will be here to meet him: something coming from without. He has not the slightest idea who Jesus Christ is . . not the slightest idea! He doesn’t realize that “Jesus Christ” is the Cosmic Christ that is buried in humanity. Humanity is the “cross” that he “wears.” And when he comes, he comes, not from without; he comes from within as he in whom He rises! He is looking for some being to come from without, and he is going to be there to shake the hand of a person on the outside. He has got fifty thousand people to come up and confess to Christ. What Christ? Well, that is the peculiar thing that he has in his mind’s eye concerning Christ. He hasn’t the slightest idea what Jesus Christ really is.576 ¶53
