The Apocalyptic Church

Michael Peach

While it appears that Paulus found
Within the Self an image divine,
St. Peter’s branch was clearly bound
To history, tribe and David’s line.

Thus, far from coming then to grips
With the inner source of timelessness,
The Church was tied to Apocalypse
And Messianic literalness.
