ONE BEGINNING AND ONE END
Given that one and the same sun illuminates one and the same day, sunrise and sunset being sunshine are indistinguishable, is it material what transpires on any day since all things attain to the self-same end?
This one thought was inspired by Origen, an iconic "church father" and African Christian theologian and philosopher living in the 2nd to 3rd centuries in Alexandria, Egypt, who wrote in his book ON FIRST PRINCIPLES (2014), the following:
"For the end is always like the beginning; as therefore there is one end of all things, so we must understand that there is one beginning of all things, and there is one end of many things, so from one beginning arise many differences and varieties, which in their turn are restored, through God's goodness , through their subjection to Christ and their unity with the Holy Spirit, to one end, which is like the beginning."
P. 70-71
