I need to put this up here again, guys.I’m really starting to think it’s the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life. I’m not in any way exaggerating.

Consider yourselves judged.

This is relevant to your interests.The apocalypse is something that most scripture devotes at least a little time to. If you’re gonna write a beginning and a middle, might as well scribble together an ending, right?
The book of Revelations is a particularly heated peace of apocalyptic scripture for a few reasons.
First off, many of the predictions are so vague/historically abundant that it’s provided religious “evidence” of the end times’ approach to every generation between John the Apostle (the purported scribe of the book who few now believe to have been the true author) and today. Wars, disease, and celestial twinkles aren’t exactly something the human race has ever had to do without for more than a year or two. 
Also, it’s worth noting that the Book of Revelations—all of it—was written specifically as a piece of anti-Roman propaganda. The oft-referenced beast with seven heads, for example, is a thinly veiled reference for the famed seven hills on which Rome was built. Also, any time the New Testament refers to Babylon, they’re talking about Rome. Mean ol’ Rome. 
So, specifically, the powers of the Christian heavens are meant to come down, bringing swift justice upon the oppressive (to Christians) Empire. As some of you may know, that didn’t quite happen. And now we’re left with a book that the church could’ve quietly retired from the canon, but instead just repurposed for whichever political opponent of the day was up in their grill.
A whole lot of people are eagerly awaiting good ol’ Jesus riding in on his white horse (literally) while simultaneously appearing as a (literal) lamb, fighting a dragon, a seven-headed beast, and a magic lady riding said beast, and then fighting a long, painful war on the scorched remains of the earth. Suggestions of “are you perhaps familiar with the art of metaphor?” seem to fall on deaf ears.

My Wife’s Fight With Breast Cancer
one of the saddest and most beautiful photo essays I’ve ever seen

I don’t think I could ever be this open photographically showing my wife slowly dying. I couldn’t do it, but this is beautiful.

I’ve scrolled past this like 4 times today and I couldn’t reblog it because it’s too hard. It’s hard to see someone you love go through this. But I’m going to just suck it up and do it, because there needs to be more research done to aggressively fight this disease and find a cure.
