== Bad Fruits of Bad Eschatology: always believing end is imminent and just a few months or years away leads to defeatism and lack of long term Conservative Christian building ==
"I, and everyone I knew believed that this world was doomed and that the apocalypse was imminent.
And here’s the thing…
If you believe that Jesus is coming back next Tuesday then you have virtually no impetus to undertake the kind of cultural building projects that will take generations complete.
This is why eschatology matters.
What you believe about the end WILL shape how you engage in God’s mission in the present.
You see, the Left had/has an “optimistic” eschatology.
They are hyper focused on building their egalitarian commie hellscape no matter how many generations it takes!
Meanwhile, Christians have, for half a century now, sat back, sang some songs, said some prayers, done some evangelism, and diligently waited for Jesus to come helicopter out his faithful few beleaguered soldiers from this cosmic Vietnam.
What if this world is not God’s Vietnam?
What if we actually began to intentionally sow seeds that our great-grandchildren would keep?
What if we began building cultural institutions that would not be completed for generations?
What if, like the proverbs say we actually sought to leave a cultural inheritance to our children’s children?
I of course argue for an optimistic eschatology.
I have become convinced that Postmillennialism makes the most sense of the most biblical data. But even if you disagree with Postmillennialism, I would implore you to, at the very least, live like it were true."
