The Biblical reference to "Page 1" infers the beginning of the end. Thus, by Christ (Charlie) appearing to fulfill the prophecies, he brought about the possibilities of Armaggedon as set out in Revelation. The result, then, is to immanentise the eschaton: "stealing the handle", putting history on a linear path to the end of time: "The train it wont stop going, no way to slow down."
