Historical Prespective for the Covid-19 Pandemic: "Time drags when you expect it to end. Put otherwise: all apocalyptic prophecies tend, of necessity, to have a short half-life. As the designated date fails, as the elusive End-time recedes, the prophecy itself can be undermined. If not reinterpreted, it runs the risk of being discredited all together. Times are recalculated. Without ever arriving, fulfilment continues to loom. But in the ever expanding meanwhile, those committed to the message have to find a way to carry-on, to live their lives, to achieve a kind of day to day stability while retaining their commitment to a great and eminent change."
Paula Fredricksen, Paul: The pagans’ apostle
