While jamming to Power Windows the other day, I realized I was hearing another Biblical reference which seemingly has gotten by all the "Rush scholars" for over 25 years:
- "World without end", from "Manhattan Project" is likely from the
King James version of Ephesians 3:21. The original Latin phrase is "in
saecula saeculorum", expressing the idea of eternity, and is literally
translated as "in a century of centuries". Other English Bible
translations usually use the translation "forever and ever".
In the chorus to "Manhattan Project", Neil seems to be implying that even in the face of nuclear disaster there are those who will depend on God to see us through, no matter what the hopeless may say. Of course, its open to interpretation...
