It would help greatly, in determining whether or not Cruz is a Dominionist, if we were to understand Christian eschatology. Dominionism is Post-millennialism eschatology, usually in combination with Preterism.
In this form of eschatology, there is no “end time” ahead of us, no future antichrist, end time prophecy has already been fulfilled (in 70 AD). With the end time in the past, all that lies before those that believe this, is Christianity conquering the world, taking “dominion” over it.
In short, the bringing in of a one world Christian theocracy - which theologians call the “Millennium” (thousand year kingdom of Christ) As to the second coming of Christ, that occurs AFTER the Millennium.
Does Ted Cruz believe in this form of doctrine? Even more significant, does his preacher Dad believe it? Absolutely NOT. Both are Premillennial Baptists - which is NOT Dominionist, Postmillennialist nor Preterist.
To identify Ted Cruz with this belief, is slander of the first order. An absolute lie.
How one believes about Israel is a clear identifier as to whether one is a Postmill Preterist or not (a Dominionist). Premillennialists are extremely pro-Israel, Cruz is a fierce defender of Israel.
There isn’t any pope of Protestant belief and they are all over the map with favored interpretations.
What I’m curious about is what has produced the unequal yoking with Glenn Beck?
