23.12
The "end of time" as we know it
  
  A revelation spoken of in all cultures is the end of time. A point where we cease to exist. In todays modern world, we consider this to be the extinction of life on planet Earth. Yet to those that wrote prophecies 2000 and 3000 years ago, the end of time could even have been as simple as the end of a civilization and its culture.  
  Such an event- the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, the abolition of the Jewish calendar of Time and the imposition of the Caesarian calendar of time (basically what we have today) would have certainly represented the "end of time" for ancient Jews. It is in the preceding years of this period, that the prophecies of John and the Apocalypse of the Essenes at Qumran (the authors of the Dead Sea Scrolls) were written. It is certain by the Dead Sea Scrolls and the basic architecture of the book of revelation that these texts were written. They were not written for, nor meant to be interpreted as prophecies of events yet to come 2000 years on.  
  The end of time can be seen not only as a physical event, but an associated cultural event as one cultures system of time is lost to another, or all cultures are lost together.  
  Interpreted this way, the "end of time" has been occurring in different parts of the planet for thousands of years. Even as recently as fifty years ago, the "end of time" was occurring in parts of Sth America, SE Asia and the Nth America as ancient indigenous cultures perished under Roman Time Law.  
23.12.1 The nature of Time  
  The measurement of time is an essential part of an civilized system of organized settlement. Civilizations have designed their own calendars for thousands of years. The Aztecs, the Mayans had their own calendar of counting the days, weeks and months.  
  The Romans, under Julius Caesar were the first to implement an international calendar of measuring time. If we still used the calendar of Julius Caesar, this would be year 2300 something. As it is, we record this year as being 1997.  
  Year 0 of our present day Western calendar is supposed to link back to the year of Birth of Jesus Christ ( hence the historical usage of BC and AD). In other words, the year 1997 has its identification because it is regarded as 1997 years since Jesus was born.  
  In hindsight, the year in which Jesus was supposed to be born is now regarded as 3BC, as 3 years were somehow "lost" between 0AD and 1997AD. Therefore, if we took the original intention of the calendar to accurately list how many years since the birth of Jesus, then 1997 is in fact year 2000!  
23.12.2 The pervasiveness of Roman Christian Time Law  
  The Roman Christian Calendar as devised by Pope Gregory IX has been a powerful weapon for that organisation and those that it supports. It has become the dominant method of calculating time and therefore in most people's mind "time itself".  
  We talk of Mondays, Tuesdays, Friday. We talk of hours, minutes and seconds and March, May and June. To us, this is time material. Yet time material is in fact a "working model" as structured and phrased by Roman Christian Politics 1600 years ago.  
  Yet what other value does this Christian calendar provide? For instance, does the calendar enable us to understand from say March 1997 that the 1st of each month= the cycle of the moon? or does the calendar assist in understanding the regular seasons of the Suns rotation around other Stars, then around the galaxy? More to the point, could we devise a calendar that simply could provide us an accurate measure of time AND position?  
  The answer is yes. The Christian calendar does nothing more than to entrench in the mind of every person that uses the calendar that 0 = Jesus' birth.  
23.12.2 The power of controlling time  
  Could you imagine it- controlling time. Time itself in your hands- where you decide the calendar for managing 6 billion people's lives. This is the jewel in the crown of the most modern Roman Christian Empire- the Roman Catholic and associated Christian Churches. They control time across the planet and have done for hundreds of years.  
  It is a powerful weapon of reinforcement and politics that has existed within the Vatican armory for most of modern history. It has defined and redefined history to its own ends. It has set mind maps from which we rarely escape and consider- such as what about a 5 day week? or a four day weekend?  
23.12.3 The stubbornness of the "end of time" Christian mindset  
  In spite of the original texts being quoted being written for ancient history and in spite of the Roman Christian Calendar being a made up human concept- many hundreds of millions of humans alive today believe that one day armageddon will appear, time will end as we know it when the revelation of ALL appears.  
  No matter how you try, the "end of time" images and reinforcement of Roman Christian Culture is virtually impossible to shift. Like ten tonnes of lead, it shuts peoples minds to possibilities and breeds internal ill and paranoia.  
  Therefore, repudiating the end of time as a figment of Roman Christian Mind Manipulation, the only was to overcome is push forward and say YES- NOW IS THE END OF TIME AS WE KNOW IT.  
23.12.4 NOW IS THE END OF TIME AS WE KNOW IT  
  Supporting the prophetic belief that a messenger will come to reveal ALL at the end of time, is the recognition of a superior means of measuring time- a system that takes into account the orbit of the moon, the sun and its neighbours and a great cycle- the time of OPUS- ( as described in the section of this site called OPUS).  
  But from the true perspective of the creator, from the perspective of ALL, the highest ideal is life. And the greatest and most precious example of life is unique life forms that are self aware and geared to experience life in all its diversities.  
  The human being is such a lifeform. To UCA and to the ALL, we are the crowing glory of existence, for we are so alive and so unique (whether we sometimes understand this or not).  
  To UCA, intelligence is not the ultimate prize, nor are answering all the questions that have ever been asked. It is all knowledge, it is everything. That you are human 1st is the most prestigious of gifts and highest of honours. Unique, diverse life, forever is what ALL means.  
  That for all the knowledge you have read, for all that you are, what makes you most special is that you are human first. Being ALL is nothing special. Having a unique perspective, feeling emotions, feeling alive is.  
  It is time to come home to the underlying truth and understanding that ALL brings. You are you, yet you are more (LLA). But you are only more because you are you (ALL).  
  It is time to return to what it feels like to be human. Not to worry about how much or how little we know. To be happy. To be human first. To truly be yourself.
