Proclaiming the truth of the gospel! It is our desire that all, young and old, see Jesus in his fullness and we pray that Eph 1:18-20 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places.

Scripture can be and should be challenging. We are too quick to try and establish doctrines. It is the simplicity of Christ. It is all about Him and we are ever growing in that understanding.

God in Christ has reconciled all unto himself. God in Christ has now chosen all. There is no more "Us and Them". He has included us all into His story.

The peace we know has come through the mechanism of the scapegoat and violence. All we have ever know is peace through the edge of the sword. Paul speaks of a peace that passes understanding. When the scapegoat loses its ability to bring peace, tribulation is what follows.

When you understand how the scapegoat mechanism works, you can see its results and consequences. It will also help us to see and understand what is going on today in our society. It will shine light on God's kingdom and how it is advancing.

In studying the tribulation, we must ask ourselves some very important questions. If we are to look at 70 A.D. as an important date in Christian history, we must ask why did the Romans at the Jews? Was God punishing Israel for rejecting Jesus?

Satan cast out Satan. When the community identifies their adversary. When the community scapegoats that adversary. When the community directs their violence against that adversary and that adversary is driven out. In that, the power of Satan is affirmed over the community again. Peace returns because that's what it looks like when violence is used for social cohesion. But the truth is, we have actually given ourselves over to the violence of the scapegoat mechanism.

Peter wants to show that he is one of them. The only way that you are part of the crowd is to join in in their scapegoating. Peter is unaware of what he is doing until the cock crows. He wept bitterly. Peter's conversion is very similar to Paul's. What Peter hears from Jesus is, "You've joined the people who are crucifying me, and you've done it in the most natural unconscious way possible."

All four gospels record Peter's denial. One of the things they do from an anthropological viewpoint is to show us that the crowd spirit is all powerful, and that only Jesus can conquer it. It is a real power on earth and can conquer even Peter.
