Is it true that God has promised that the purposes of Christmas shall be manifested throughout the earth? Before the end of this present age? This is a list of many of the references to this Triumph from the Psalms and the Prophets, which speak continually of the world-wide spread of the Vine & Fig Tree vision.
David Chilton, in his important book Paradise Restored, comments on the Psalms as a whole:
There is a very important connection between the Church's worldview and the Church's hymns. If your heart and mouth are filled with songs of victory, you will tend to have an eschatology of dominion; if, instead, your songs are fearful, expressing a longing for escape - or if they are weak, childish ditties - your worldview and expectations will be escapist and childish.
The Psalms are inescapably Kingdom-oriented. They are full of conquest, victory, and the dominion of the saints. They remind us constantly of the warfare between God and Satan, they incessantly call us to do battle against the forces of evil, and they promise us that we shall inherit the earth.
Isaiah has been called "the Fifth Evangelist." He spoke again and again of the coming Messiah, and His triumph. Isaiah prophesied of the world-wide triumph of The Christmas Conspiracy:
Jeremiah also spoke of the world-wide extension of Christ's Kingdom:
Daniel spoke of the rock that became a great mountain and filled the earth. He was speaking of the Kingdom of Christ.
The other prophets spoke of this triumphant Day as well:
"Vine & Fig Tree"
The Prophets guarantee that this ideology will triumph.
World-wide.
