Questioning Dominion Theology

[timspong]

I don't really know much about dominion theology, however, I understand the key verse of this veiw is:

Mt 24:14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

However, it is clear to me that rv 14.6 will be the clear fulfillment of this prophesy:

Rev 14:6 Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people.

I also don't believe that rev 14.6 is refering to TBN satelites as they would have you believe:lolo:

I would urge you to locate and read;

By This Standard: The Authority of God's Law Today By Greg L. Bahnsen

As a good place to start.

You are right that Matt. 24:14 is A Key Verse, but there are others that explain it further, and it has to do with the believers' authority in Christ. Matt. 28:18 and its connection to "Go ye therefore" meaning in that authority. Just look up the many verses in the new testament with the word "power" when it relates to a believer. For far too long, Christians have majored on the gospel of salvation and minimized the power of the kingdom that salvation makes available to us.

There is a good deal to not believe about many things said on TBN. Note Paul Crouch's fearfully worded promo for his book on Revelation: "Are Bible prophecies true?" (of course) and, "Is 'the End of The world' at hand?" (I, and many others say, NO!) He follows that with, "We've been through the book of Revelation, my friend, and there are some terrible things on the horizon."

And this from people who KNOW about power! It is typical escapist doctrine.

The end will not come just because all countries, ethnicities and languages hear the good news of salvation, but when they then learn and see the demonstration of the kingdom. The satellites preaching to every nation, tribe, tongue and people are a PART of the fufillment. The "for a witness" part of Matt. 24:14 means, as Paul put it, with a "demonstration of the Spirit's power." It is the Spirit's power that we use, along with the full armor of God, to be strong in the Lord while we wrestle against evil spirits and overcome them. Eph. 6:10-18

The fear of "signs and lying wonders," 2nd Thess. 2:9 has given rise to cessationism. No matter that the vast majority of signs in the Bible are done by God, through "his called, chosen and faithful followers." That is why the fulfillment of Mt. 24:14 is really Rev. 17:14. "These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them,for....those with Him are called, chosen and faithful."

Thank you for your time,
