“A big part of it, I believe, was his dominionistic theology. God has handed the world to us Christians on a silver platter. Errrrr... not quite. Not yet.”
That theology has wreaked a lot of havoc in Christendom and doesn’t hold up under Church age scrutiny. Same as the prosperity con, there’s lots of running to the Old Testament to find promises to national Israel and tease them out for post-Cross believers. In the New Testament one finds a consistent REVERSAL. Earthly defeat, but heavenly victory. Financial weakness but spiritual riches. Rejection by the world but rich welcome with God!
Well, and also we consider the encounter Jesus had with Satan in the wilderness where He was offered the kingdoms of the world, but He’d have to bow down to that devil.
Of course this was going to presage the battles that Christians were to have in the world, and Jesus said nix to it, just as we must learn to say nix when the world tries to bribe us into thinking its way.
