People's ideas about of the "last days" and all the various events leading up to the Millenium inform their political views, both inside and outside of the Church. Up until now, I feel that the conversation about those events has been dominated by what I'll call the "doom and gloom" school of thought. This particular viewpoint is based on the idea that the majority of the world is wicked, a small minority is righteous, and even the righteous people will barely survive the spiritual and temporal onslaught until Christ appears to rescue them and usher in the Millennium.
My aim is to present a more "positive" version of the "last days" narrative to counter the "doom and gloom" viewpoint over a series of five posts. Since this is the introduction, here's an outline of what I plan on discussing:
1.) Jacob Chapter 5 -- Breeding Out the Bad Fruit.
2.) The Day Dawn is Breaking.
3.) A Positive Reading of the Book of Revelation.
4.) Circling the Wagons vs Lengthening the Cords.
5.) The Church, a Rough Stone Rolling.
