X2M.84 Endoxation II
“Sonder, noun. The realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you'll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.”

And what of the glory of God above heaven not just above ground? He is living a life more vivid and complex than our own…
“Teleologically the Glory of God outranks the Salvation of man—and everything else. . . . And this means that the Incarnation is ancillary to the consummating of the Endoxation of the Spirit, which is that telos.”
Kline, Meredith G. God, Heaven and Har Magedon: A Covenantal Tale of Cosmos and Telos. Eugene, Or: Wipf & Stock, 2006, 14–15.

“So David marched against Baal Perazim and defeated them there. Then he said, ‘The Lord has burst out against my enemies like water bursts out.’ So he called the name of that place Baal Perazim.” 2 Samuel 5:20 NET2
“Therefore, this is what the sovereign master, the Lord, says: ‘Look, I am laying a stone in Zion, an approved stone, set in place as a precious cornerstone for the foundation. The one who maintains his faith will not panic. I will make justice the measuring line, fairness the plumb line; hail will sweep away the unreliable refuge, the floodwaters will overwhelm the hiding place. . . . For the Lord will rise up, as he did at Mount Perazim, he will rouse himself, as he did in the Valley of Gibeon, to accomplish his work, his peculiar work, to perform his task, his strange task.’” Isaiah 28:16–17, 21 NET Original
“In the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month [April 29th 587 B.C.], the word of the Lord came to me: ‘Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. Look, it has not been bandaged for healing or set with a dressing so that it might become strong enough to grasp a sword.’” Ezekiel 30:20–21 NET Original
“He smiled understandingly—much more than understandingly. It was one of those smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced—or seemed to face—the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just so far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey. Precisely at that point it vanished—and I was looking at an elegant young rough neck, a year or two over thirty, whose elaborate formality of speech just missed being absurd. Sometime before he introduced himself I’d gotten the impression that he was picking his words with care.”
