An End Time Theology

An End Time Theology

We are now living in very critical times and perhaps very dangerous times for those who seek any type of spirituality, especially when it relates to God/Christ.  In a world today with the diverse philosophies and ideologies that exist a spiritual mind is considered to be a dangerous mind that halts the very progress and advancement of science, technology and social progress.  To many, the three major religions that have a common thread (Monotheistic Perspective) are the cause of all strife and war in the world if not most of it.  For this reason many in the so-called civilized societies have all but abandoned organized religion.

The danger of this perspective and approach to spirituality is the spiritual climate of our day is so diverse and so uncertain that the shift of that very climate and nature of it has changed so drastically.  Many who do not understand the scriptures or spiritual atmospheres are not knowledgeable of spiritual powers and those entities that lead and organize them.  In a world of technology spiritual truths have been neatly tucked away and reserved for the superstitious and those who appear to be somewhat addle-brained.  The world has become so technologically advanced that our scientists and engineers have very little time if any to consider the reality of spiritual beings such as demons, angels and even God.  The God of Judaism, Christianity and Islam to many is outdated and considered unnecessary for times in which we live.

Man has continued to develop his philosophy and science to the point where it is now possible to combine different species into one organism to produce hybrid chimeras at the cellular level and their intent is to take man to the next generation.  The nano technology and microscopic computers that are now operating off of three dimensional binary systems may very well have the capacity to program themselves and even adapt to a certain type of programic thought where machines may be able to program mankind out of the equation of life.  The string and strand theories have become common consideration in the world of science as is the theories of the extraterrestrial seeders of the the earth and our universe.  Mankind hastens to usher in and an age of utopia and technological wonder that there are no limitations to what they desire to use science for. There are no longer any boundaries.  Nothing is sacred any more not even life itself.  Those who have considered the possibilities of creating bacteria and viruses that we have no immunization or medicine to combat against them are considered a threat to the onward movement of science and global progress.  

Daniel prophesied about this day and those who understand prophesy see it clearly as it relates to the world.  

     "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased"  Dan. 12:4

Secularism has taken leaps and bounds into the future by way of their science and considerations while the constituents of the church are reluctant to search the Word of God from an academic and higher level of research to understand the finer things of God.  The church must continue to produce those who will champion and defend the causes of Christ while pursuing truth that goes beyond our denominational worldviews.  Many belief systems are not structured around the scripture and many who proclaim "Sola Scriptura" (Scripture Alone) as the standard of truth and knowledge have invented new ways to make scripture conform to their pattern of thought and philosophy.

There are those who consider themselves to be God fearing Christians who who have taken the position of "Higher Criticism" that espouses that scripture as it is may contain the Word of God but as a whole it is not the Word of God.  Many have blurred the lines between canonized scriptures and the various writings of the Psedepigraphic Texts.  Because we did not prepare our young and elderly believers to pursue learning the Word of God from a greater academic and comprehensive manner the church in this century have been reduced to biblical illiterate believers who struggle with the message of faith, the Gospel and other vital truths.

It is now the responsibility of the Fathers and Mothers of the church to prepare this generation for the times of trouble that are to come.  I have committed my life to the development of the church in this last hour and for a comprehensive development of an End Time Theology that is founded and driven by the Word of God.  If we should fail not just Pentecostalism and  the Apostolic Faith will be effective but the entire world, our society, our schools and the families that have been entrusted to us.

Specific event must occur before Jesus returns; however the church is said to be the light of the world and it is our responsibility to hinder the powers of darkness from totally ravaging this world while we remain in it.  Our theology for this end time must include elements of prayer technology and those dynamics of faith that equips every believer to pray with confidence knowing that the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous yet availeth much (James 5:16).  There must be an introduction and a comprehensive approach to pneumatology (wherein those truths and laws concerning the operations of the spirit and the spirit realm are made clear.  although there is prophecy concerning the end of this life and even the falling away of the church (2 Thess. 2:3).  In short, the church must involve herself with a much higher level of Theological instruction and learning.  We are in dire need of the knowledge (da'ath) that Daniel spoke of in Dan. 12:4.  this knowledge is, according to the Amplified Bible, the knowledge of God's purposes as revealed by His prophets.

The world has excelled in their scientific knowledge but has failed in understanding that their science (Scientia) and wisdom is God's gift to mankind to enable them to understand His love toward man and they have through their arrogance and ignorance tried to write God out of the Ontological Equation.  The church on the other hand has not prevailed in growing in the understanding of God's plans and purposes for the world, time evil and the church itself.  I urge every leader to lead the flocks of God back into the verdant pastures of the Word of God and prepare the heritage of God for the times that are yet to come.  There is still time to rally the prayer warriors and those who will, through their faith, fight the good fight of faith.
