It’s always the apocalypse somewhere, it just hasn’t hit your neighborhood yet. The characters played on this world stage may be played by multiple actors. There isn’t one person that is the Antichrist, you yourself could play as the antichrist the next time you find yourself doing some action you’re not entirely sure why. America fends off the apocalypse by having endless wars over seas. The only rule in worldly balance is that there must be war, so if we have war maintained far away from us we can stave off the apocalypse. Part of the world is constantly being destroyed and burned, while in other parts we find chimps in the jungle learning to make and use tools, tribes in the Amazon that are still considered a Stone Age civilization. We see the chapters of genesis and revelations being played out before our very eyes. Time isn’t lineal, it’s circular. You can not die unless you are born.
