Since the advent of the Trump era, the evangelical landscape has undergone rapid shifts, often in turbulent and dangerous directions. To be sure, there are still plenty of evangelical premillennialists out there faithfully waiting on the Rapture. But their sequestering, defensive posture is becoming outmoded. Remarkably, the most prominent and powerful new leaders—the ones dedicated to fully recentering evangelical politics on Donald Trump, and who have grown their power and influence through their association with him—are overwhelmingly anti-Rapture. They believe Christians have a more active and forceful role to play in the end of the world.
Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world.”(John 18:36)
Two things.
First, I remember a TV evangelist who told us weekly that the Soviet Union was the Kingdom of the North promised in the Book of Revelation. Until around 1991, when suddenly Iran became the bad guy.
Second, for fun watch ‘Dig’ a TV thriller about a plot by ultra-extremist Christians and Jews to bring about the End Times. A red cow features prominently
Oh sky cake, why are you so delicious.
