Just watched a really good scholarly teaching by Dr. Michael Heiser entitled The Post Christian Future. It’s long and in two parts but excellent.
In the first part he discusses utopian plans past/present, their appeal and why they all fail. He gives the antidote for them and what believers must do (suffer for righteousness) following Christ our example.
The second part he discusses what’s coming. This was given in 2012 but it is amazingly up to date. Basically, gnosticism. Gives and excellent overview of it and why it is the system that will combine all else (science, religion, politics, and including paranormal phenomena) into the coming world system. Shows how it has been in pop culture and Hollywood for 30+ yrs but why it’s the ideology of choice. Definitely worth your time. The world is definitely going crazy but it’s going to get worse. Believers must prepare. Please give it a spin.
