Thus I reach a formulation of the twin impossibilities of prophetic awareness: 1. There is (God-given) loss that actualizes the “woe” of being out of sync with God’s purposes that require relinquishment. That relinquishment in turn produces denial. Thus: Loss, relinquishment, denial. 2. There is a (God-given) new emergent that actualizes “the days are coming” by the wise generativity of God that requires receptivity. That receptivity in turn evokes despair. Thus: New emergent, receptivity, despair.
