Who is the Minister of the Age now?

Right. "All mysteries are solved. All truths are now revealed." So says the one who has stopped seeking, and tries to discourage others. But Jesus said, "Seek, and you will find." How can anyone say they've figured it all out?

It was really a weird moment, one of many, unfortunately. "The age is over, and a new one has begun." No scripture offered. And everyone just sat there and took it, like we always did.

Another thing is the circular reasoning behind it, that there's one vision per generation, held solely by the ministry of the age, and its chosen vessel of revelation, aka 'God's oracle'. Says who? Well, God's Oracle says so. But how do you know he is God's Oracle, the MOTA? Why, because he has the vision of the age! Surely anyone can see that!

Then, that chosen vessel of revelation leaves this mortal coil, and the vision of the age is now that there's no more vision. Because the age has turned, you see? That's part of the revelation, the corollary that it ends with the last seer.

It goes: Moses, Samuel, Jesus, Paul, Luther, current MOTA, then nothing. And you can pretty much plug in Haile Selassie, Sun Myung Moon, Brigham Young, Felix Y. Manalo, or any other - the formula is the same.

"I have the vision."
Oh, what's the vision?
"That I have the vision."

The rest is just filler.
