An Eschatology of Fire
This paragraph makes my point...........................
"...When eschatology is limited to the end-time, and end-points in God’s plan are down-graded, the consequences are serious. First, people are morally disarmed, because the historical relevance of end-points, of blessings and curses, is diminished. Time loses much of its meaning … The historical process is thereby rendered irrelevant to man. Because of this moral default, the humanist … takes over the direction of societies and institutions..."
"...We end on a speculative note. Peter points out parallels between the Flood and the fire pouring out upon the earth. Most people assume the fire will destroy everything in a single day, the last day. But the Flood wasn’t a one-day event: it rained for forty days before it stopped. Perhaps if one day is like a thousand years to God, maybe there’ll be a thousand years of fire for every day of rain. Forty thousand years seems like a long time, but we were told in advance that God is faithful to a thousand generations—which is also forty thousand years..."
I agree and where did this all come from. More subverting like Scofield? 'Christianity' in America might as well be paganism as to where things have gotten too.
All kind of Linux troubles today. Some days I could just throw everything out the window and breath a sigh of relief. The cascade of problems began when my friend accidentally load a second OS (operating system) on my second drive. Ugh! And double triple ugh!
