Plague, War and Prophecy
The world exists as a theatre for the enactment of a divine drama.
Concluding his meticulous studies of the Abrahamic faiths towards the end of the 19th century, historian Edwin Johnson (1842-1901) made the following revelations:
“The historical principle of the Biblical writers is very simple. The world revolves about Judaism. The interest of the present and future is concentrated in the chosen people of the Synagogue, and is reflected in the forms of historic retrospection or allegorical contemplation. The world exists as a theatre for the enactment of a divine drama in which the Synagogue is always acting or suffering the leading part. There is no interest in the nations except as the conquerors, allies, or possible subjects of the Jews.”1
Is the stage finally set for the fulfilment of Jewish prophecy as recorded in their sacred literature all those years ago? As a person of sound mind, I do not for a moment entertain the notion that we are witnessing Gods ultimate plan, but rather, those of persons actively manipulating past and current world affairs, to present the illusion of divine manifestation.
