There is a particular belief system that is shared by otherwise almost polar opposites in evangelicalism. To make this even more of an oddity....these two theological systems dominate Donald Trump's White House. When we hear about all these prayer meetings in the White House....and religion advisory staff....and the Department of Defense....and media events....they are probably emanating from either of these two groups.
There are different names that are applied to this theology but the most common would be....Dominion Theology....where it is taught that Christians should take....take....dominion over all aspects of society.
Reformed Theology has its own version of this....and charismatic Christianity has its own version....but in the latter....charismatic Christianity....this dominion teaching absolutely dominates! In fact....if it were not for this charismatic theology....Donald Trump would not be in the White House today!
I'll recommend at the end of this post a book to you that was published back on October 1 of last year....that will give you all the information that you could need on the charismatic aspect of where Donald Trump's influence in evangelicalism comes from.
The former influence....which lives within Reformed Theology....is known as....Reconstructionism. We see this primarily through the Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
The latter we see in the influence of Paula White....and all of the self-proclaimed prophets and apostles without which Donald Trump would not be in the White House.
So Pete Hegseth can have his monthly Department of Defense voluntary prayer meetings....which at first glance might seem wonderful....but ultimately there is no disassociating from a man in Donald Trump who has continuously prophesied....prophesied....to all the evangelicals in the church....this for nine years running....and taken evangelicalism captive....that America is going to keep on winning...winning...winning....(the pandemic must have been a glitch)....and its best is yet to come....and a new golden age is coming....when God's Word to us....tells us very clearly to those who have ears to hear....that the exact opposite is coming....judgment!
So Donald Trump is that false prophet....false prophet....just as Hananiah was the false prophet that opposed Jeremiah....and today those in the church....at least the ones with the media savvy and huge platforms....are his biggest supporters!
Note: That book is....The Violent Take It By Force....the Christian Movement that is Threatening our Democracy....by Matthew D. Taylor. It sells for $32.99 at Barnes & Noble....but you can get it a little cheaper on Amazon....and there is a Kindle version available for about $21.
