And it will come about in the last days
That the mountain of the House of the LORD
Will be established as the chief of the mountains
And it will be raised above the hills
Micah 4:1
Many Christians are not participating in The
Christmas Conspiracy because they believe that they
must wait for Christ to come to earth a second time. The Old Testament Prophets foretold
(and Christ's Apostles confirmed) that the Messiah's Kingdom would be established when the
following had taken place:
- Satan is bound and his power to deceive
the nations curtailed (Revelation 20:1-3).
- The Eternal King is enthroned upon the
Throne of David (Psalms 2 and 110).
- Believers are anointed as priests and kings
to reign and rule with the Messiah (Isaiah
61:6; 66:21; Revelation 5:10).
Christ accomplished all these things at His First Advent. NOW is the time to begin
fulfilling our mandate (Genesis 1:26-28) to exercise dominion under Christ.
The New Testament clearly states that Jesus lived, died, and rose again in "the
last days" of the Old Covenant order. His last act under the Old Covenant was the
destruction of the Old "House of the Lord" (Matthew 24) and the establishment of
a new House, a new Mountain (Daniel 2:35,44; John 4:21,23).
Christ accomplished all these things at His First Advent. NOW is the time to begin
fulfilling our mandate (Genesis 1:26-28) to excercise dominion under Christ.

Response to Kenneth Gentry |
And it will come about in the last days
That the mountain of the House of the LORD
Will be established as the chief of the mountains
And the peoples will stream to it.
And many nations will come and say,
"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD
And to the House of the God of Jacob,
Micah 4:2
We sometimes decide whether or not to follow Christ based on whether it's popular. We
don't want to be "different." We should realize that what is important is the
long-term, and in the long run, Vine & Fig Tree
Christianity will be "mainstream." "Fringe" today; mass movement
tomorrow.
Optimism: The Gospel ("Good News") is predestined to succeed.
What is the Gospel? Is "Vine & Fig Tree" a "new gospel"? NO! It
is the True Gospel! It is the "Good News." The Good News is victory.
"The Gospel" is the predestined success of " The Christmas Conspiracy"
(Galatians 3:8).
Catholicism: The entire planet --
all races, all cultures, all languages -- will be governed by Christian principles.
Roman Catholicism: A Contradiction in Terms. Ecclesiocentrism: racism; statism.
Postmillennialism or Apostasy? Why postpone "the
Rapture" by working for Global Reconciliation? Man's work of reconstruction is backed
by the Power/Promise of the Spirit.

And many nations will come and say,
"Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD
And to the House of the God of Jacob,
That He may teach us about His ways
And that we may walk in His paths."
For from Zion will go forth the Law
Even the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Micah 4:2
The whole Bible -- including the Old Testament
-- is God's Law-Word.
From Moses to Malachi, God sets forth an unchanging standard of Justice, Mercy, and Faith (Matthew 23:23). When
faithfully taught and obeyed, observance of the Law of God mends the torn fabric of life.
Bringing our lives under the total jurisdiction of Christ is the key to social renewal,
not reforming the lives of others through the impersonal violence of statist bureaucratic
regulation. Biblical Law is God's pattern for peace, justice, and harmony.

Area of Life, Every Activity

The Gospel Message is a Word from God. Every Word
of God is Law. |
For from Zion will go forth the Law
Even the Word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
And He will judge between many peoples
And render decisions for mighty, distant nations.
Then they will hammer their swords into plowshares
And their spears into pruning hooks;
Nation will not lift up sword against nation
And never again will they train for war.
And each of them will sit under his
Vine and under his fig
tree,
With no one to make them afraid.
For the LORD of hosts has spoken.
Micah 4:2-4
Christ is the Prince of Peace. His vassal-subjects must be committed to Peace.
This means loving even our enemies. This means going to the cross.
Biblical Law teaches us to pray and work for
peace: personally, locally, globally.
The State was invented to replace Pax Christi with Pax Cain, Pax Nimrod,
Pax Pharaoh, Pax Babylonia, Pax Romana, and Pax Americana. "The Christmas Conspiracy" is a
conspiracy to crush the "New World Order" into powder (Daniel 2:44).
Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace: The State
is institutionalized violence.
Obedience to Biblical Law will eliminate "the
State." Justice is altruistic, not adversarial.
Jesus Christ was executed as a threat to the "New World Order." His followers
must be prepared to be punished as "anarchists."
The Glory of God, not the Glory of the "Fatherland"

In the Garden of Eden there was the Family. There was no priesthood, no State.
All human beings are created in families. Patriarchy is an inescapable concept. If the
Christian pater does not train his family in the Ways of Peace, he will be
oppressed by a "paternalistic" State.
The Institutions of Church and State are unBiblical. They reflect rebellion against
God's Law.
The whole history of man as recorded in the Bible
is the history of sinful rebellion against society as created in the Garden of Eden, and
the construction of institutions based on coercion and violence. It is the history of
Politics vs. Patriarchy.
Not Priesthood, nor Statecraft: The Family is God's
Central Institution.
Training Ground for Morality, Forgiveness,
Self-Discipline, Competence.
Obedience through the Family eliminates tyranny,
protects property.
Institutions such as Church and State were formed in
rebellion, not faith.
