This Sunday's first reading and Gospel are apocalyptic passages. Maybe the closest our culture comes to apocalyptic literary form is science fiction movies. No matter how terrible the outlandish creatures and the fierce battles, we are confident that the movie will have a happy ending. Apocalyptic writing in the Bible assures us that no matter how hopeless our situation seems we will not be destroyed. In Jesus God has already won the battle with evil.
