I have a question regarding Meister Eckhart. In the ‘Olivet Discourse’ (Matthew 24:1-35, Mark 13:1-37, and Luke 21:5-36) Jesus speaks on the end of times. He says one man will be taken and the other left behind. One man taken from the field and the other worker left behind. I am curious as to if Meister Eckhart mentioned these verses in any sermons and if so, what did he say about them? Did Eckhart have a view on any apocalyptic end, or rather is the end of the self and attachment the final judgment in a sense? If so, how do we reconcile these verses? Thank you.
Great question. Eckhart doesn’t really talk about end times in the apocalyptic sense. The ceaseless birth of the Word is happening at all moments. So there is no end of history. His take on renewal (which follows the destruction of the world in flood stories and apocalyptic myths generally) is related to “greening” where Christ is always new and “greening” like a new shoot of a plant
Many many thanks.
You’re quite welcome! 🤗
