"They know not what they do: you can lead them to water, but you can't make them drink"

This is written in more-or-less real time.

So there we go, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Word, the Lamb, saying "I'll be back", just like Arnold Schwartznegger. He'll be back in the listeners' lifepan.

So what does that mean?

Perhaps it means simply: He taught those who would listen to the Way, so that the Way could act upon the world. In order for a house to be built, there has to be people to build it. A dictionary is a bunch of meaningless symbols without a person to understand them.
