Women are welcome to read and comment but the audience this is intended for is men and as this post is written the reasons will be become apparent.
So most churches do not have a strong view on Eschatology or do not teach on this subject at all and I think it is profoundly importantly to shaping one's views.
There are three main views of Eschatology: premillennialism, Amillennialism and Postmillennialism. All of these relating to when Christs second coming and the final judgement of humanity. The different views place Christs return at different time periods and this is where the effect comes into play. If people believe Christ will come back tomorrow, they develop an apathetic uncaring attitude. But is his coming back tomorrow? Or his coming back in 500 years? Better yet 5000 years?
I used to be an Amillennialist which is what the Protestant Reformers believed. It holds that the Roman Catholic Church is the harlot of Babylon and the Pope is the Anti-Christ. I have changed my view to Postmillennialism but I still think a reasonable case for Amillennialism can be made. And I am completely against premillennialism as there's too many inconsistencies to make it work and frankly a fraud to fool Christians into supporting Jews to keep the state of Israel intact. I am not against Israel, I am neutral party in this conflict, but we should separate out Gods business and mans business.
I noted that when I was an Amillennialist and had the sense of pending doom of God over me, that Christ was returning any second I really did not care much about anything. And why should I or any Man care if he thinks the end is so near? Since I changed my view to Postmillennialism it has given me a completely different perspective and changed the helpless mentality into endurance mentality. Many Christians are waiting for Christ to come and recuse them with his return but what if he doesn't? I think the message from Christ was endurance. Deny yourself, Pick up your cross and follow me, daily. Endure persecution and suffering and receive your reward.
We hand our nations, churches, civil rights over to people who are our enemies because we do not care about tomorrow. Because we think there will be no tomorrow. The Christian crusaders did not hand over Jerusalem against the invading Muslims. The Protestant Reformers did not give up on their divorce from Rome despite all the hardship they went through. At this point I encourage you to look up Postmillennialism.
The message is this-Christian men need to prepared to take a stand and fight for what's theirs or have everything stripped from them. Our enemies have no Grace. The choice is yours. And Eschatology effects our minds.
