A sure sign of religious authoritarianism
is a zealousness to rid the
world of its opposition. In the minds
of many Charismatic Dominionists,
the authority of the apostles and prophets
cannot be questioned by anyone,
friend or foe. Their placement of rulership
in the Kingdom of God is to be
free from dissenters or the new unity
will be broken. Therefore it will be
necessary that those who challenge their
teachings and their authority to
be removed. Of course many have been
labeled as anti Christ or committing
blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Paulk
comments on not recognizing what is
happening “Therefore, the spirit of
antichrist refuses to recognize that
GOD IS HERE IN THE FLESH.” (Earl Paulk
“The Wounded Body of Christ”).
Paulk’s meaning of this is the body
of Christ. The Bible says He (Jesus)
came in the flesh not that he is here
now in the flesh. Yes God dwells in
his people as the Church corporately
and individually, but we are not an
incarnation. Christ took his incarnated
body to heaven and this
incarnation event is not to be repeated.
To call those antichrist who do
not subscribe to this is to accuse almost
the whole church throughout all
of its history as ignorant. Paulk either
misunderstands the meaning of the
incarnation or purposely changes what
it means.
Biblically the spirit of antichrist
is one that opposes the person of
Christ, by denying he did come in the
flesh. To change the incarnation of
Christ to instead be his collective
body would be more like the biblical
warning of having the spirit of antichrist.
Because it is denying that He
alone came in the flesh, it is denying
His unique incarnation. John’s
point is to have the believers discern
those who hold to the apostle’s
doctrine of the single virgin birth
of the savior, meaning God coming from
heaven in a man. Both Hinn and Copeland
believe Anti-Christ means
anti-anointing. “It is the devil who
is the one fighting what is
anointed.” Translated in their terms,
if you come against what they say,
you are antichrist. (aka: Don’t touch
God’s anointed). This why they can
say the things they say, such as we
are little messiahs and anointed just
like Jesus. Because they are convinced
of their mission being from God.
But God can put in ones heart to fulfill
his purposes and they would not
be working for his kingdom at all. He
does this with Joels army and he
does with the 4th kingdom at the end
of days.
One of the more concerning areas of
this new thing is to PURGE THE EARTH
of undesirables. This is the goal of
the New Age movement, to change the
Church first and bring peace and unity
to mankind without the Prince of
Peace being personally here. They know
that the orthodox Church is against
this world government by their apostles
(ascended masters). How
coincidental is it that these new prophets
and apostles say the very same
things? Those who do not go along with
the five-fold model of ministry and
obey the new Government that will be
installed run by the “new” prophets
and apostles will be taken out of the
way.
The new age cleansing is to fall on
those who refuse the light initiation
of Lucifer which is a an experience
of realizing everything is one. This
will bring a crisis period for the earth
to be cleansed and purified of
those who do not want this unity. The
Church cleansing seems too involve
the new anointing and the leaders that
dispense it.
Franklin Hall, a forerunner and promoter
of the Latter Rain in the 40's
stated: “The man-child group of the
sons of God will be required “to rule
the nations, with a rod of iron” (Revelation
12:5). To those not accepting
this invitation into Holy Ghost Light
Of fire, there is but one
alternative: the opposite to light is
DARKNESS. The Light of Life will be
to them a blinding and consuming fire
of destruction!” (Franklin Hall,
“Subdue The Earth, Rule The Nations”,
Franklin Hall Ministries, 1966, p.
57.)
“There are differences of opinion among
Dominionists as to how dissenters
will be removed, but there are essentially
five ways in which that may
occur: 1) God will supernaturally strike
dead those who oppose His
apostles and prophets; 2) God will send,
or allow satanic forces to send
plagues upon dissenters; 3) the Church
(or certain “overcomers”) will
pronounce God's judgment upon dissenters,
thus moving God to destroy them;
4) the Church will, out of “necessity,”
use physical force by which it
will judge, sentence, and execute judgment
(including death) upon
dissenters; 5) all or any combination
of the above may take place.” (Al
Dager, Vengeance Is Ours, p.96-97)
If anyone can remember back to the June
9th, 1994 fiasco Hinkley on TBN
clearly promoted a Kingdom Dominion
prophecy where he said “evil will be
ripped from the earth.” The kingdom
was to come because evil was to be
ripped from the earth. This is what
we are hearing more and more these
days.
Others seemed to have received the same
message at that time “it is a time
for judgment and cleansing. It must
be done that my church will be
ready...” “This is a cleansing that
removes evil from the whole world and
activates a worldwide spiritual revival
with millions of people pouring
into the church.” (Don Hackman, “THE
EVANGELIST”) Many others such as
David Griffis, director of the Youth
With A Mission (YWAM) in Colorado,
had a vision in which he heard the Lord
speak and saw a picture in his
mind. “'June the 9th.' I saw the date
in my mind and then described what
would be attributed to a great disaster
or even the tribulation.” Teri his
wife put out a fleece to see if the
date is correct and heard June the 9th
IS CORRECT. (Quoted in Discernment newsletter)
Those who are looking for
this type of scenario seem to hear all
too often what is the opposite of
the Scripture writings. Not only was
the date wrong, but the content is
unbiblical without Christ’s coming.
It is rare if anyone is corrected
among themselves and so it continues
within the Third Wave today at
unprecedented proportions.
This kind of mistake often happens when
someone is using a spiritualizing
method of interpretation in prophecy
instead of its literal meaning in
context. This is why they can say the
virgin (the Church) is with child
again.
“The virgin Church is “in labour and
in pain to give birth” (Rev 12:1-2)
... for I say to you, once again, the
virgin is with child. Before Jesus
Himself returns, the last virgin Church
shall become pregnant with the
promise of God. Out of her travail,
the Body of Christ shall come forth,
raised to the full statute of its Head,
the Lord Jesus. Corporately
manifested in holiness, power and love,
the Bride of Christ shall arise”
(Francis Frangipane,” In the Presence
of God” 1994 Chapter: “The Virgin
Shall Be With Child” pages 153-157).
While he may be thinking the best for
the Church, I would say that the bible
makes it clear, he is getting a
little ahead of Christ.
In the place of literal interpretation
of prophecy we find Replacement
Theology sometimes mixed with Manifest
Sons of God teaching. Prophecies
that are for the nation of future Israel
are instead applied to the
Church. Spiritualizing passages instead
of finding its literal meaning is
common place, the meaning is in the
hand of the wielder.
An example is the dry bones that come
back to life in Ezekiel 37:1-11.
They are said to be the Restoration
of the Church out of Babylon
(denominationalism; which separates)
into perfect unity (Branham taught
this). Eventually all believers will
possess the same mind, and same goals
under the government of the apostles
and prophets in their Kingdom Age.
Others are also speaking of this “cleansing
action.” A prophecy by Glenn
Foster reads: “I have been cleansing
the Church. Now I am ready to begin
cleansing the nations...The fire that
falls first is upon the sacrifice on
the altar that's my Church. Then the
fire falls upon the false prophets -
that's the government and leadership
of the world that rules in cruelty in
its own wisdom ... This is a special
day - an appointed time...Behold, my
Jehus are ready to receive a fresh anointing.
Jehu will replace the rule
of Ahab and Jezebel ... there is a prophetic
word upon the lips of the
Elijahs of this hour, which shall feed
the flesh of Jezebel to the dogs.
(FIELDS OF HONEY, A prophetic message
spoken by Glen Foster July 11, 1994.
quoted in Discernment Newsletter)
First we need to understand that this
prophecy applies OT typology to the
Church that the NT does not. We are
not the Altar! Nor are there Jehus and
many Elijahs, this man is prophesying
by his own spirit, as his
theological bent betrays his teaching
influence. Of course to those who
are trained to spiritualize scripture
in this manner, this makes perfect
sense. If you have a Gnostic approach
to understanding holy writ then one
is justified in using real characters
in the OT and applying it to all
kinds of individuals and movements today.
Nowhere do we find an apostle
saying that another apostle or church
member is like Moses or has the
spirit of Zechariah or many Elijahs.
Certainly we can say use examples
like Elijah but this is not the way
they are stating it.
This kind of teaching certainly needs
to be challenged, but when those who
ask for a Biblical references for this
position, they are demeaned and
judged as unworthy.
A judgmental spirit is seen by the very
ones who say not to judge and then
they turn around and label others as
having the spirit of anti-christ or
committing blasphemy because they question
their teachings as unbiblical.
The promoters of the “new thing” like
Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and
many others are threatened by those
who ask the people to test their
teachings. Not only do they want to
sit in judgment on the world but the
Church as well. They put fear in people
by making them feel that are
coming against God’s healing and anointing
if they say anything contrary.
Kenneth Copeland gives the admonishment
“One of these days, you may just
be talking to someone, asking them how
things went at church last Sunday,
and they may say, ‘Oh it was great!
The glory of God was so strong it
healed 16 cripples, opened the ears
of thirty dead people, cured seven
cases of cancer and killed Brother Bigmouth
and Sister Strife‘“ (Voice of
Victory” Oct. 94) When Peter dealt
with Annanias and Sapphirra he did not
look for this action to occur; it was
an immediate instruction and
judgment from the Lord on 2 people who
gave their word and lied.
Rodney Howard-Browne: “I'm telling
your right now,” he hissed, “you'll
drop dead if you prohibit what God is
doing!” Dramatically he gestured
toward the crowd and warned them that
those like me, who would dare to
question that what he was doing was
of God, had committed the unpardonable
sin and would not be forgiven in this
world or the next.” (Rodeny
Boward-Browne, Melodyland Christian
Center, Anaheim, CA, from
Counterfeit Revival, Hank Hanegraaf,
1997, pg. 22)
Benny Hinn states “I place a curse
on every man and woman that will
stretch his hand against this anointing.
I curse that man who dares to
speak a word against this ministry.”
(Sept. 13, 1999 TBN) This is not
judgments spoken about the church to
repent and going back to her first
love but is spoken against those who
speak personally about the new thing
and his ministry. These men are obviously
threatened by those who speak up
about their teachings. Is God worried
about anyone’s hand against His
(person) anointing? This is ludicrous.
Did any apostle threaten someone
like this? We should consider James
and John’s statement of wanting
vengeance, such as wanting to call lightning
down from heaven on their
opposers and cleanse the earth of them.
Jesus said they did not know what
spirit they were of.
It is Jesus himself who comes and purges
(wipes out all the enemies on the
earth when he comes back). The Church
does not help but is a bystander as
his robe is stained with the blood of
God’s enemies. The Lord states in
the Scripture: “Vengeance is mine,”
not the Church’s! To attack people’s
character and label them without addressing
the Biblical issues brought up
is not the way God wants this handled!
To claim to be a prophet and
dismiss people’s inquiries and threaten
them is certainly not exhibiting
an anointing from God. People seem to
forget that the Church from its
beginnings called into question peoples
teachings and dealt harshly with
it if necessary. False teaching does
not affect individuals any longer,
it’s pumped over the radio, TV, in
reading of books, and it affects
millions. Therefore it needs to be exposed
in a new ways and the internet
is just one advantage among many.
The Latter Rain Dominion theology (Kingdom
Now) is tied into
Reconstructionism which rejects the
pre-millennial view of history and
eschatology and promotes the postmillennial
view. Pre-millennialism
teaches that Christ will return bodily
to earth in His Second Coming
before the Millennium. Reconstructionism
affirms that Christ will not
return bodily to earth in His Second
Coming until after the Millennium has
been fully developed on earth by the
Church. The Pentecostal Latter Rain
adopted this position going further
in the interpretation by saying it is
the supercharged Church that rules on
the earth through the Millennium
without the person of Christ through
apostles and prophets.
“Dispensationalism” has always maintained
a clear distinction between the
Church and Israel after the ascension
of Christ. Without this distinction
the differences of the Church and Israel
are blurred and ones eschatology
becomes affected. “Kingdom Now” believes
that since Jesus Christ’s
ascension, He reigns as the king in
heaven and the Church is reigning on
earth by marching forward defeating
His enemies, increasing the spread of
the Kingdom of God, until the end of
the future Millennium when the 2nd
coming of Christ occurs. Most Reconstructionists
believe they are already
in the millennium, the Church is expected
to progressively take greater
dominion. “We are to pull down the
ungodly strongholds of this world, and
we are to erect godly institutions in
their place.” (Tom Rose, “Christ's
Kingdom: How Shall We Build?” in Journal
of Christian Reconstruction,
Summer 1981 Quoted in What ever happened
to Heaven Dave Hunt.).
Reconstruction author George Grant writes:
“The army of God is to conquer
the earth, to subdue it, to rule over
it, to exercise dominion. Christians
are called to war. And it is a war we
are expected to win.” (George Grant,
Bringing in the Sheaves (American Vision
Press, 1985), p. 98.) David
Chilton believes, “Our goal is world
dominion under Christ’s lordship, a
world takeover’ if you will. (Christ
has) commissioned us to take over the
world.” Gary North writes, “God wants
Christians to control the earth on
His behalf.” Y2K would have neatly
fit into this plan (North being one of
the main promoters of this ultimate
disaster) if it had transpired as many
thought it would, but it became the
great disappointment for those who
wanted the chance to rebuild things
the right way.
The premise of today's Reconstructionism
(Kingdom Theology) like its
predecessor is to restore what man lost
over the earth when Adam and Eve
obeyed Satan's temptation in the Garden
of Eden and fell. Man’s dominion
was gone and God lost control of the
earth to Satan, and since that time
has been looking for a “covenant people”
who will be His “extension,” or
“expression,” in the earth and take
dominion back from Satan.
This is a major part in the Word/Faith
movement as well. As Fred Price
states, “But God has to be given permission
to work in this earth realm on
behalf of man. You are in control! So
if man has control, who no longer
has it? God.....When God gave Adam dominion,
that meant God no longer had
dominion. So God cannot do anything
in this earth unless we let Him. And
the way we let Him or give Him permission
is through prayer.” (Fred Price,
“Prayer: Do You Know What Prayer Is...and
How to Pray? “ (The Word Study
Bible, 1990. p. 1178).
This is the basis of Kingdom Dominionism.
Man is not taking the control.
Although Price may push the envelope
further than most it all has the same
end. Man centered spirituality is how
the “new” Christianity is to
operate, but not the ancient faith.
We need permission from God, not He
from us. Prayer is for His will to be
done not to have Him enforce ours.
Karen Wheaton who is a passionate and
talented singer has sang on TBN
telethons Benny Hinn crusades and now
with Rod Parsley sings this catchy
tune: “I'm taking back my stuff, I'm
taking back what the Devil stole from
me, I'm taking it back” (having the
people sing along repeating it several
times), taking back, my joy, health
home, kids, etc. You name it its all
coming back. (Louiville Kentucky crusade
Freedom Hall, aired 7/24/2000 on
Breakthrough)
This dominion of planet earth will be
accomplished through the Church and
more specifically by certain group of
“overcomers” that yield themselves
to the leadership of God's new apostles
and prophets authority.
Ern Baxter said in 1975: “We are talking
of man coming into the fullness
of his self realization, into his ultimate
destiny as the image of God.
This beloved One came to become the
Pattern Son to become the Ideal Man
after which he would pattern a whole
community of redeemed ones. What he
was in his incarnate power and life,
they become in their corporate power
and life. God’s purpose is not to redeem
a bunch of people to sit at a bus
stop and wait for the bus to come along
and get them out of the world’s
mess. He came as King so that under
their authority the redeemed community
might become the means whereby he would
establish God’s sovereign right in
his own redeemed earth. We have individual
salvation - but in the nation
we have corporate salvation...God’s
people are going to start to exercise
rule and they’re going to take dominion
over the power of Satan. As the
rod of his strength goes out of Zion,
he will change legislation, he will
chase the devil off the face of God’s
earth and God’s people will bring
about God’s purposes and God’s reign.”
(MacPherson “Can The Elect Be
Deceived” 1986)
Standard Reconstructionism teaches that
Christ bound Satan and his demons
in the past by his death, resurrection,
and ascension. In the Pentecostal
(Latter Rain) Reconstructionist view
they bind Satan now and take over his
goods and rule through spiritual warfare
prayer. This is why we are
hearing so often today to take it back
from the Devil, or the Church needs
to possess the goods to do its work.
In this respect we have John
Avanzini, Rod Parsley, Benny Hinn, R.W.
Shambach and many others talk
about the Jubilee and the Church receiving
her freedom from debt. Rod
Parsley states “Just before the return
of Jesus Christ, God is going to
restore to the Church everything the
devil has stolen.” (Breakthrough
Oct.3,1999)
Some give a greater significance to
this event as a financial revival (is
there such a thing in the bible?) But
they all agree that the Church must
have healing, gain control of the wealth
to preach the gospel to all
nations and have the kingdom come.
Rick Joyner: “I do believe you know
wealth in a sense is like energy you
can't destroy it, its just transferred
and I believe in a great economic
collapse the wealth of the world will
not destroyed, it will be
transferred and I believe a lot of it
will be transferred to the
believers.” (CBN, Jan 3, 2000)
Maxwell Whyte writes that we can be
instantly healed of sickness by
pleading the blood as well as receive
the Holy Spirit by this method. (The
Power of the Blood ch.7-8 Whyte). He
also writes about (Ephesians 5:27)
“The Bride must be perfected with no
spiritual, mental or physical
sickness when the Bridegroom comes for
her.” (Whyte, Christian Life, p.
39)
Creflo Dollar goes even further, in
his position “God is coming back for a
church without spot or blemish so he
is not coming back to a church in
debt this revival must take place before
Jesus can come back He cannot
come back for a broke church, he cannot
come back for a sick church, he
cannot come back for a church that is
in debt that would be against his
word. I'm coming back for a glorious
church, without spot or wrinkle, so
that means there's going to be some
quick transference going on.” (LeSea
network Mar. 27, 2000) Taking back the
world's material wealth not having
sickness is not the Bibles position
for the last days. There are more
warnings about this very thing than
for it. (ie. James. 5:1-3;2 Tim. 3:1;
Rev. 3:14).
Premillennialism teaches that after
His Second Coming, Christ will
establish the literal, earthly, political,
Millennial Kingdom of God and
will be physically present to rule this
earth for a thousand years. In
this view the Millennial Kingdom of
God has not come.
In this new modified view of reconstruction
held by certain leading
Pentecostals an elite remnant army of
overcomers will subdue all of
Christ’s enemies, they will gain power
and authority throughout the world
through signs and wonders. Those who
hold the view of triumphalism believe
the nations governments will be upon
their shoulders and when all the
secular authorities, governments, rulers
and kings have finally submitted
to their rulership, Christ will then
return and they will present the
kingdom to Him. Hardly the scenario
of Isa. 9:6-7. This theory is based
upon the idea that all authority in
heaven and on the earth has been given
to Jesus, and since believers are indwelt
by the same Holy Spirit that
indwelt Jesus, we too have all authority
on the earth as Jesus has in
heaven; therefore we can do the miracles
that He did. And with this power,
restructure America first and then the
rest of the world.
God’s right to rule in the affairs
of men is not promoted by any
government. The question we need to
ask is would it be any different if
there were a Christian form of government?
In the OT God spoke to the
prophet or the King for the people.
This is what Dominionism wants us to
go back to, except the king would not
be Jesus physically on earth. So who
would it be?
The United States government is no more
corrupt than was the Roman
government was in Christ’s day. Yet
we see no instruction from Jesus to
reform them, only to preach the message
that would save their souls. Could
we, now over 1900 years later do what
the apostles and the early Church
with all its power could not? Those
who believe ruling in educational,
political positions in government will
change countries. This has been
tried in history before, by the Catholic
Church. So it should not be
surprising to see many of these same
people promoting this to be united
with the Catholic Church, or have nothing
to say about it. The agenda
would be the same, it may even lead
to mutual cooperation.
Nowhere does the Bible instruct us to
reform this world. Examples from the
bible of those who had this opportunity
never did so. Joseph as second
only to Pharaoh, Esther with King Ahasuerus,
and Daniel did not change the
society they lived in. God used these
men to preserve His people, but not
to restructure an anti-God culture into
a godly one. Christ never
attempted to reform the evil world of
His day, neither did he give any
instruction to the Apostles to do so.
They “turned the world upside down”
(Acts 17:6) by preaching the gospel,
not by teaching or implementing
morals on an evil society. This does
not exclude us to be salt and light,
but it does exclude us from changing
the laws so the unsaved can live like
the saved. Yes we are to save lives
and yes we are to expose “the
unfruitful works of darkness.” But
the truth is to be exalted so that
falsehood will fall dead in the streets.
It is a matter of choice not
implementing a rule over the majority
of the people. It never worked
before and it will only work when Christ
comes to rule in perfect justice.
Any “reformation” of society has come
when individuals were transformed
through faith in Christ and their lives
then became an influence for good
in society. It cannot be transformed
by implementing laws on others to
live so they would have a form of godliness
without the power.
“Have been foreordained of God to become
that people who will become so
glorified that we can bring Christ back
to the earth. This glorified
church must make the earth God's footstool
before Jesus can come again.”
(From The Wounded Body of Christ. Earl
Paulk, quoted in Jewel Van der
Merwe's book Joel's Army). The Bible
teaches heaven is His throne the
earth is (already) His footstool.
C. Peter Wagner states “I believe that
the government of the church is
finally coming into place and that is
what the Scripture teaches in Eph.
2, that the foundation of the church
is apostles and prophets. Previous to
this decade of the 80's and the 90's
we practically ignored prophets and
apostles and now we’re seeing, what
I believe is a major reason. We’re
going to new levels in prayer. We’re
going to new levels in the spiritual.
We’re going to new levels in healing
and miracles. We’re going to new
levels in deliverance of demonic deliverance.
And so this is the new era
we are going into and I don't know if
it is coincidental or what, but its
just as we are moving into the new millennium.”
(CBN interview Jan. 3,
2000)
What we have is too many chiefs and
not enough servants. This appeals to
the pride of man and the fallen nature
to be special and powerful. The
shepherding movement now has metamorphosed
into the apostolic movement
that wants to rule the Church and then
the world.
The Church has failed but will now be
successful under new leadership.
John Arnott says “Yes, Lord, we're
going to go for it, we're gonna try to
do our part to bring the kingdom of
God here...and wouldn't it be
wonderful if the Lord would start to
move in power and restore the church
to its proper place and make us the
head and not the tail?” (John Arnott,
TACF, 10/19/94) First of all we need
to understand Christ is the head of
the Church so we were never the tail.
If the Church is under Christ we are
in the proper place already.
“For Jesus staked a claim over every
piece of ground on this earth and I
have arisen to fully possess it. This
is the day when I will cast out the
deceivers who have settled on land that
rightfully belongs to Me. For this
belongs to Christ and His heirs and
we are about to dispossess the ones
who have falsely possessed it. Come
one and all for we must fight for our
rights. Do, as I say and we shall surely
reclaim our ground.” (prophecy to
Jane Williams Christian fellowship church
Columbia Apr. 7 1996)
It is very questionable to think that
Jesus is going to rid the squatters
in this way
Another eschatological viewpoint of
Kingdom Theology is that the Great
Tribulation is seen not as a time when
anti-Christ will reign and war
against God's people, but rather a time
of tribulation for the world
brought about by God's judgment through
his people. A Joel’s Army scenario
that is not the biblical truth.
Many seem to overlook that God is the
source of judgment for the great tribulation
on a unrepentant world.
Anti-Christ is considered by some not
to be a person, or even a system of
government, but a spirit of rebellion
against God's new authority
represented by apostles and prophets.
Some even teach that the antichrist
is not a person but is anything that
comes against or challenges the
anointing of God. According to some
interpretations of I John 4:2 and II
John 7 the meaning of the coming of
Jesus in the flesh is his deity
manifesting in the church
Copeland states that God had his hands
tied until now. “But I'm telling
you all the restrictions that have been
on God for 6,000 years will be
off. All the restrictions that have
been on the angels for 6,000 years
will be off. All the deal is off, the
bible says that god is going to rise
like a man that has been in sleep he's
going to rise. And really this is
the Copeland translation he is going
to rise up and start rippin’ and a
tearin‘. He has been out of the loop
gone enough, we gonna have some
bottom settling here so you and I need
to be in our place. “(TBN, Jesus Is
Lord, Jan. 11, 2,000)
My Bible says He neither slumbers nor
sleeps. He has not been on a
vacation nor will he ever take one.
“The Church is the feet of Jesus. God
promised Jesus 'I will train your
feet, and use them to tread down and
crush your enemies.'“ ( Francis
Frangipane, in Charisma magazine July
1993 )
Satan and all enemies of God will be
put under the feet of the corporate
“man child” the new sons of God. This
will be the fulfillment of I
Corinthians 15:25-26: “For he (Christ)
must reign, till he hath put all
enemies under his feet. The last enemy
that shall be destroyed is death.”
God the Father says to the Son in Heb
1:13: “But to which of the angels
has He ever said: “Sit at My right
hand, till I make Your enemies Your
footstool?”
Heb. 10:12-13: “But this Man, after
He had offered one sacrifice for sins
forever, sat down at the right hand
of God, from that time waiting till
His enemies are made His footstool.”
Who makes the enemies his footstool?
God the Father, NOT the Church!”
Paulk gives people overconfidence that
Jesus Christ had the authority to
say “No” to death on earth, and He
is waiting for us to come to that same
authority He had so we can say, “The
last enemy--death-has been
conquered.”
Have we forgotten history “Foxe's Book
of Martyrs” is filled with many
stories of those that gave their life
for Christ, even the apostles. Are
we any different? The saints will always
overcome evil and Satan, but not
through taking dominion over the worlds
institutions or creating a
paradise or a Christian millennium.
Scripture instead states that we the
saints overcome through “the blood
of the Lamb and by the word of their
testimony”, and do not “love their
lives to the death.” (Rev. 12:11). My
Bible says he overcomes the Saints during
the tribulation, and that is
what is coming on the world. Not a Christian
society. But we are not to be
dismayed because we do have the eventual
victory.
