I sense that this:
Will one day appear in car boot/ trunk sales with other Christian-Zionist classics like:
I was at the library about 6 months ago. A pastors library was being "purged" or cleaned our. There were about 4 boxes of "end times" books dating from the '60's thrue 2000. Lindsey, lahaye, hagee, brubaker,(radio show gloom & doomer from the '60's etc, etc. I picked out a few of the older ones for historical reference. Funny thing is, they were there for about 3 months. No-one wanted them. I took a picture of them to have a record of the end-times false teachings that dominated 'churchanity' due to the dispensational/futurist perspectives.
They belong in the trash can along with these above. They only have meaning and use to see the method of dusemination of false interpretations and
the effect those false interpretations and theology have on society and politics.
Preterksts hold that at least "a coming, return, presence appearing etc. occurred in
'the clouds as the angels had foretold in acts 1.
If the spirit of "anti-(against) christ is a 'spirit, doctrine, soul outlook, etc that denies Jesus' continual and repeated generational indwelling the believer with Gods spirit, his goodness and Good news of lkfe; wouldn't it be sad/ironic if all these "end times" books, preachers and doctrines stem from that denial and rejection of his coming 'in the clouds' in 66-73 AD and are actually "against" or anti the good message of continuation of generational life and grace and justification of life through good faith??
The names are mostly the same; lahaye, Cahn, Hagee, Jeremiah, Hinson, Jenkins, Hitchcock, etc. I don't see Lindsey though. The older books had Dehaan and many other "prophecy experts" of that day. Russia was of course the evil anti-christ at that time of the cold war.
