About this listen

A flood of fire is coming. Irenaeus connects the ancient patterns—the number of Noah’s years, the idol of Nebuchadnezzar, the six days of creation—to the final trial under Antichrist and the ultimate judgment of the world. Augustine, still wrestling with time, calls us to reject idle speculation and recognize that God created time itself. Aquinas closes the day with a look at why angels are sent—not to abandon heaven, but to carry heaven's mission to us.

Readings:

Irenaeus, Against Heresies, Book 5, Chapters 28–29

Augustine, The Confessions, Book 11, Chapter 30 (Section 40)

Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Part 1, Question 112
