According to scripture, we are created in the image of God.
After the apocalypse, God's vision for our world - the vision of God - will be made
real.
We will discover what it means to be in the image of God.
If we think we need to care for Creation, is that a lack of
faith?
Or does God intend for us to play a role in the restoration of Creation?
If the imago already exists, is it singular, or does the image/vision encompass diversity?
If the imago already exists, is this
truth to be found or to be created?
If the New Earth will descend "already prepared as a bride", is there
a role for creative process?
Is there a role for imagination in an imago nation?
One answer:
As we come to see the Imago Dei more clearly, we are
inspired by the Holy Spirit (the dream),
and our dreams of Heaven come down as we, inspired by grace, create a New Earth.
When we 'get' God, we are restored and Creation is restored.
We are already in the apocalypse.
Theocracy vs Democracy
is a false dichotomy.
Theocracy and Democracy are married, united, in any Inspired Economy.
You can have the rule of God without a punitive police - it's called anarchy.
Anarchy has two definitions:
An'-ar-kee: 1. chaos
An'-ar-kee: 2. no command and control required, because people are inspired.
Is that world possible?
Or would it be honest to say: The violent will be with you always; greed, deceit and anger are here to stay.
Will this "anarchy" only work if everyone has the same values? Even then, conflict is inevitable. If everyone values the same scarce resource, then goals will be incompatible. Unless the values are not for self but for the whole / Unless people have a hierarchy of goals which values participation in creation over consumption.
Political economists have imagined a "post-scarcity" world.
[rough
draft] Imagiscape advances that idea by asking : what
role does imagination play in your economic development strategy?
and if gardening can be physically health, social, spiritual,
playful (musical, dramatic) and productive, then multiple needs can be
satisfied simultaneously. If ecology is our organizing principle,
then crime and healthcare and ... costs decrease too, and economic
growth increases... [rough draft]
Would it be better to call it Theoarchy/Godarchy? No, the meaning would be lost as people would assume this is a plea for an authoritarian dictator.
God's Anarchy.
The
Anarchist Dream says we do not need outside controls, we need to let
people get what they really want - which is to participate in Creation.
[rough draft]
So
it could be said that anarchy is a misnomer - it's not without an
organizing principle; it relies on a healthy organizing principle.
What is your organizing principle?
What
moves you? What determines your use of time? of how you
[hold] and move your body? Your production and consumption
choices?

...and yet, "no rules" football still has rules - you win not by pissing on as many of your fellow players as possible, but by getting the ball across the goal line. And there is still the sense of team vs team and playing to win.
Living Truth preacher Charles Price has talked about a disabled church, where the body is not controlled by the head. He says it's okay to disagree radically if you can agree "I'll meet you at the foot of the cross"
+ internal conflict = inevitable, no? conflict between values+resources.
