The eschatological tension of “already” and “not yet” is as true of you as it is of the world. Only you will not be left behind. In fact, you can’t be, because in a real way, you are already there. You. Are. Already. There. Let me say it again: you’re here. But you’re also there. Really, you’re just waiting for yourself to show up. When it’s all said and done, in some way you’re going to get there and you’ll already be there waiting to greet yourself, and yourself is going to say to yourself, “I’m so glad you’re here! You made it! Now we can finally be a whole person.”
