Summary:The article focuses on the importance of being apocalyptic as indicated in the Bible verses Joshua 24:1-3a, 14-25; Psalm 78:1-7; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Matthew 25:1-13. It stresses the need of the people for time that they have to receive with delight and astonishment outside the pace of the working week. It notes that such time is called Proper 27, during which people resist forces and powers that make them forget that time is the opportunity to grow in fellowship with God. It explains how Christians are also considered as apocalyptic people.
