This blog affirms that the gospel of Jesus Christ is an act of prophetic imagination, a non-violent vision of a world without Caesar, given back to God:
Psalm 82
A psalm of Asaph.
1 God presides in the great assembly;
he gives judgment among the “gods”:2 “How long will you defend the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?
Selah3 Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;
maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.4 Rescue the weak and needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.5 “They know nothing, they understand nothing.
They walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.6 “I said, ‘You are “gods”;
you are all sons of the Most High.’7 But you will die like mere men;
you will fall like every other ruler.”8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth,
for all the nations are your inheritance.

And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon Englands mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine,
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight;
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
Til we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land.
