PURPOSE FOR THIS THREAD:
The historic Church has always had an eschatology of victory and hope. Catholic Amillennialists and later the Postmillennial Revivalists (Johnathan Edwards, etc) all have the same belief that the Church will triumph victorious in this age before the final consummation talked about in the historic creeds. As St. John also said, "The darkness is past; the true light now shineth!"
The apostles rightly understood that the purpose for the end of the Old Covenant Era was "that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus" (Eph. 2:7) and that the Church is God's agent of His own glory and wisdom (Eph 3:1-11, 21). Augustine, Eusebius, the Puritans, and today's Reconstructionists all taught/teach us an eschatology of victory and triumph for the Church (and not doom and gloom).
This thread is dedicated to posting articles and testimonies of the great works and victories Christ's Kingdom is accomplishing in our world today in keeping with the futurist eschatology of Augustine, Johnathan Edwards, and even R.C. Sproul. God truly walks among us (2 Cor 6:16)!
RULES FOR THIS THREAD:
(#1) Testimonies and article links posted at this thread should be in obedience to Paul's following command:
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.
(#2) When posting an article link or website link, include a 1-2 sentence description of how the article shows God's rule and principles at work in our world today.
(#3) When posting testimonies, be mindful to not dominate the board with exceedingly long posts. Brevity is the soul of wit. Remember, even Paul one time preached on and on causing Eutychus to fall asleep and tumble out a three-story window (Acts 20:9).
SCRIPTURE MEDITATION FOR THREAD:
1 Chronicles 29:11
Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
