I frankly don't know where this "Dominionist" stuff came from other than Trumpsters looking to "brand" Cruz as something other than a Southern Baptist. The verses Cruz's dad quotes have been taught in Sermons for hundreds of years at least.

Try Proverbs 13:22, Isa 61 :6, Micah 4:13, Zech 14:14, Eze 7:19, and James 5:1-5. There are dozens more, but basically they discuss the justice that will follow when Jesus comes to rule and reign for 1000 years after the Last Days. During this period, it is discussed that the just will live in houses they didn't build and eat food they didn't grow. There is mention that The people left behind in the Rapture will rule and reign with Christ over the cities.

They key to this thinking is to be raptured to meet Jesus for the wedding feast and be forever with Him wherever He may be. The virgins with enough oil refer toy the church with the Holy Spirit and the unwise virgins are the church that denies the gifts of the Spirit and get left behind to face the Antichrist. Rapture and salvation are 2 different things. To be saved is as easy as confessing Christ as Lord and savior and placing your faith in Him. The problem there is many do not elevate Him to Lordship of their lives. many refuse the gifts of the Spirit, which renders them almost powerless to live the life God has called them for. The rapture is the calling of God's people to wed the King of Kings. He chooses people that love Him, people that have done His bidding, people that converse with Him and long for His coming. You might be surprised how many if asked would say "I don't want Jesus to come back because I want to watch my grand babies, or I have a new job, or I have a boat I want to sail to an island. These are the ones that WILL be left behind even if they have confessed Jesus. Building the Kingdom of God requires power on high, such as healing's, prophesy, speaking in tongues, and the other gifts. many don't want these gifts, so they remain powerless to the Kingdom as the man given one talent and he buried it. A reading Of Revelation shows the church is raptured, God's wrath is poured out, at least 2.5 billion people will die, and Jesus will return with His "bride" to rule and reign for 1000 years. There will be people left behind to deal with this mess. When Jesus rules from the throne in Jerusalem, wealth will be redistributed. If you believe the Bible, that's what it says. If not, you just want to make Cruz a weirdo. Most of the parables speak of just these things. A virgin is the bride of Christ, He will not accept a non virgin. A servant is just that,...a servant. Either you serve Christ or you sit on a pew waiting for lunch. A non Christian cannot be a servant. A non Christian commits adultery with idol's and cannot be a virgin for Christ. The purpose of the parables of this type are to tell you that God expects "works" from the saved people. Works don't save anyone, but God saves you to build the Kingdom, not to ignore Him till Jesus comes.

The purpose of this post is just to show that God taking the unjust wealth is not a crazy idea, it's in His Word. Frankly, I don't care because Jesus will provide everything I need at that time, but many will still be in an unglorified body and waiting to die and need to eat and live in a house While on Earth.

If your church doesn't teach these things, they are not teaching the whole council of God and you have been misled.
