Subtitle: A Postmillennial Eschatology
E-book (PDF format), 584 pages
About the Title: The vast majority of those who call themselves evangelical Christians
believe that the Church of Jesus Christ has been predestinated by God
to fail in history. "It cannot possibly succeed!" Millions of
Christians believe that the Church will be "raptured" soon, removing
Christians from the turmoils and responsibilities of this life.
Rev. Kenneth L. Gentry Th.D., argues otherwise in
He Shall Have Dominion. He shows that Christians have many great things to accomplish for Christ before Christ returns bodily to earth.
Two centuries ago, Protestant Christians believed that they would die
before Jesus came back to earth. This affected the way they thought,
prayed, worked, and saved. They built for the future. They were
future-oriented. They were upper-class. Today, many Protestants believe
that Jesus is coming back soon, so they will not have to die. This
belief affects the way they think, pray, work, and save. They are
present-oriented. They are lower-class.
He Shall Have Dominion refuted this outlook, verse by verse.
Most Protestants today believe that Jesus cannot rule successfully
through His people in every area of life until He returns to earth
bodily and sits on a political throne in Jerusalem. (Mormons believe
this too, only they think the throne will be in Independence,
Missouri.) Other evangelical Christians believe that Jesus cannot rule
through His Church until after the final judgment, after Satan is cast
into the lake of fire, and that He will never sit on a throne in
Jerusalem.
One tiny group believes that Jesus, just like Satan, does not need to
be physically present in order for His people to exercise dominion in
every area of life. The kingdom of God in history, just the kingdom of
Satan in history, operates as God always intended: without the bodily
presence of its Master. Jesus, like Satan, rules in history
representatively.
He Shall Have Dominion shows why.
Most Christians believe that the healing effects of Christ's gospel of
salvation are limited to the individual soul, the Christian family, and
the institutional Church. They believe that the gospel can heal
personal governments, family governments, and Church governments, but
it cannot heal civil governments. They believe that the power of sin in
history is greater than the power of Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit,
at least outside of the Church and the family.
One tiny group believes that Christ's salvation is as comprehensive as
Adam's rebellion, and more powerful in history as time goes on.
He Shall Have Dominion makes this case.
He Shall Have Dominion is a positive book: positive about the future of the Church.
He Shall Have Dominion teaches
that Christians will exercise dominion in history. It therefore teaches
responsibility. This is why its message is hated. Today's Christians
have been taught that they must flee responsibility, for Jesus' sake.
They would rather believe that God has predestined His Church to
failure than believe that they are personally responsible for
transforming society. This is why the Church is so weak in our day.
