The Coming One World Government Fiasco
Part of the legacy of our Darbyism is this entrenched, widespread notion of a coming one- world government under the Beast, personal Antichrist, and false prophet heading up a one world-church.
The true biblical end-time, however, has no place for such speculative, sensationalistic, and non-exegetically-sound constructions.
In the true biblical end-time, friends,
there is no seven year "timeframe" wherein all of these fictional events are
supposed to transpire in the first place—all this future seven year business is
pure mythology based on a fundamentally flawed interpretation of Daniel's
prophecy of the Seventy Weeks (where does the New Testament say anything about
some future seven year end-time period, anyway?— could this mean that Hal
Lindsey & Company are "out to lunch" in their entire approach to end-time Bible
prophecy?!).
In the true biblical end-time, friends, the Roman Babylon is
to be destroyed suddenly and unexpectedly by massive firepower at the height of
her prosperity, prestige, and power! And that upfront, as a coming first event!
Darbyites, anxiously watching for some fabled "end-time
one-world government" scenario to suddenly jump out of the bushes and scare
everybody, are out of touch with reality. May God held us all to get out of that
system of exegetical and doctrinal error, and wake up to the real truth of
Christ's return before it's too late!
