APOCALYPSE QUOTES IV
quotations about the Apocalypse
They've been making a living for 2,000 years--preaching that we're in the last days.
CHARLES M. SCHULZ

February 4, 1962: Take one quintuplified planetary alignment. Sprinkle in an always-mystifying solar eclipse. Stir in a potload of craziness--prayer vigils in Bombay, shelter-stocking in the United States, jittery sky-gazing everywhere--and you've got yourself an all-out Apocalypse Watch. Nothing happens, of course. But the Antichrist was born the next day, at least according to noted psychic Jeane Dixon.

Pocket Guide to Apocalypse
Perhaps you will be tempted to call this disaster, catastrophe, apocalypse. Now here, precisely, is announced--as promise or threat--an apocalypse without apocalypse, an apocalypse without vision, without truth, without revelation, envois (for the "come" is plural in itself, in oneself), addresses without message and without destination, without sender or decidable addressee, without last judgment, without any other eschatology than the tone of the "Come," its very difference, an apocalypse beyond good and evil. "Come" does not announce this or that apocalypse: already it resounds with a certain tone; it is in itself the apocalypse of apocalypse: Come is apocalyptic.

Derrida and Negative Theology
The apocalypse is one of the most unfathomable events in human society, which provides plenty of room for embellishment.

You can't take highways during the apocalypse, because they'll be packed with panicky people.

I believe in the premillenial, pre-tribulational coming of Christ for all of his church, and to summarize that, your first poll, do you believe Jesus coming the second time will be in the future, I would vote yes with the 59 percent and with Billy Graham and most evangelicals.

Every apocalypse is given with a promise of light.

I am like a child ready for the apocalypse, I am the apocalypse itself, that is to say, the ultimate and first event of the end, the unveiling and the verdict.

The Animal That Therefore I Am
The Apocalypse deals with such emotions as fear of the Roman authority and resentment of its wealth and power which are evoked and intensified by John for his audience. The forces which threaten are symbolised by the beast from the abyss and the dragon, projected, clarified and magnified onto an exaggerated cosmic screen.
SEAN P. KEALY
The Apocalypse of John
It's extremely important to prophecy believers to be able to read the signs of the times, that is, events that are signalling to us that the end time is near, and such events as wars, conflicts, increasing levels of evil and wickedness in the world, rising environmental hazards, the emergence of a global economy--all of these are seen as signs of the times that signal to us that the Rapture is near; the final sequence of events could unfold, at any moment.
PAUL BOYER
"Signs of the End of Time"
At the present time, the Apocalypse is the despair of theology; the ablest scholars in the ranks of orthodoxy frankly admit that it must be regarded as an unsolved, and possibly insoluble, enigma.
JAMES M. PRYSE
The Apocalypse Unsealed Being an Esoteric Interpretation of the Initiation
The world is ending. In the grand scheme of geological time, of course, the world is always ending. But right here, right now, in a Brooklyn movie theater, it is ending over and over again. Fortunately, there is popcorn.
SARAH GOODYEAR
"Doomsday Scenarios", New York Daily News, February 23, 2016
The end approaches, but the apocalypse is long lived.
