Cosmological aspects of the theurgies and John's Book of Revelation
Kosmološki aspekti bogodejstava i Jovanova knjiga Otkrivenja
Abstract
The divine history of salvation of creation implies divine acts within the historical perspective of the existence of the creation. The final designation of the world implies its pre-construction by transforming God's way of the creation's existence from mortal to immortal. Until then, man and the world had existed according to the God-ordained ecclesiastic Mystery of existence. However, the divine restructuring of the world does not imply a peaceful, that is, a non-turbulent historical process. The creation had already born the scars of the dramatic events of the past, which is certainly a given that entails the universal problem of man's salvation. We witness that the creation exhibits a kind of rebellion against man, because processes of great turmoil have been observed at all levels of its existence. Man's repentance is a precondition for changing his attitude towards the world, to which man has been left by his spontaneous way of being. Human repentance is based on the awareness of the eternal existence of all creation as a divine gift. In this sense, the historical destiny of the world depends on the divine will on the one hand, and on the other, on man's desire and willingness to repent. Future events shall show whether people will repent and renounce the scourge of sin as one, or if they will all experience the time of all the horrors revealed by the Lord to the apostle, evangelist and prophet John.
Sažetak
Božanski domostroj spasenja u najširem smislu pretpostavlja božanska dejstva unutar istorijskog načina postojanja tvorevine, tako da i ostvarenje konačnog naznačenja svega stvorenog podrazumeva buduće božansko presazdanje sveta iz stanja smrti u besmrtni način postojanja. Do ostvarenja konačnog naznačenja tvorevine čovek i svet postoje u eklisiološkoj Tajni postojanja. Međutim, božansko presazdanje sveta ne podrazumeva miran, odnosno, neturbulentan istorijski proces. Po svemu sudeći, tvorevina na sebi već nosi ožiljke dramatičnih događaja prošlosti, što povlači za sobom i odgovarajuću perspektivu budućih događaja. Svedoci smo da tvorevina danas na neki način vojuje protiv čoveka. Na svim nivoima njenog postojanja zapažaju se procesi dramatičnih previranja. Čovekovo pokajanje predstavlja i preduslov za promenu njegovog odnosa prema svetu koji je, opet, čovekovim padom prepušten stihijskom načinu postojanja. Čovekovo pokajanje zasniva se na svesti o večnom postojanju svekolike tvorevine kao predzamišljenom božanskom daru. U tom smislu, istorijska sudbina sveta zavisi s jedne strane od božanske volje, a s druge, od čovekove želje i spremnosti za pokajanjem, odnosno, prihvatanjem sveta kao božanskog dara. Budući događaji pokazaće da li će se ljudi kao jedan pokajati i odreći stranputica greha, ili će svi doživeti vreme svih onih strahota koje je Gospod otkrio apostolu, jevanđelisti i proroku Jovanu.
