In 1947, in small Las Vegas, the desert was never further away than a kid's bicycle ride from home. You could die out there. An ex-GI with skills that were valued by bookies could make a good living. In 1951, sixty miles up the road, the feds began exploding atom bombs. Over the next ten years, they exploded about 100 atom bombs. Once people who lived in Vegas saw their first fifty or sixty atom bomb blasts, why didn't they run away? Those who stayed were the founders of the Vegas we know today. They had a sort of jitter in them.

The Book of Revelation: What Must Soon Take Place-Doxological Postmillennialism offers a comprehensive exposition of Revelation set within the broader scope of eschatology. Within this framework, eschatology is prior to, and more fundamental than, special revelation, since its truth is grounded in the nature of God and man and in the reality of good and evil as structured in the created order. The final book of Scripture, therefore, presupposes this eschatological context, first revealed in creation and progressively unfolded throughout Scripture.

He would strip away the miracles, the resurrection, the alarming claim of divinity, and hand back a figure everyone could finally admire without embarrassment: a tender Galilean moralist, a poet of the hills, a man. The book was a sensation. It was also, this book argues, a catastrophe of comprehension—and not a unique one.

Two tramp-like figures, Vladimir and Estragon, exchange words. Pull off boots. Munch a root vegetable. Two other curious characters enter. And a boy. Time passes. It is all strange yet familiar.
