Are Dominionists Pushing America Toward Their Vision Of Apocalypse?

Apocalyptic Millennialism----A Dominionist Obsession Of The Religious Right

1st -- Think About:  Officials involved with Corporations, Federal officials working with such varied issues of national concern as America's pending Iran Treaty (as of April, 2015), Israel Policy, Russia policy, Nuclear Weapons, Military Command, Global Climate  Change, Fossil-Fuel Policy, and Pollution Laws. Locally, inspectors, law enforcement and other city and state government officials, and others,  key to the operation of our society.

Then -- Consider:  Are Dominionists, as a percentage of the population, culturally embedded within both Government and the private sector, and scattered through varying areas of The Military, State Department, EPA and numerous other important regulatory agencies, and even the court system, letting their "Biblically-foreseen" End-Of-The-World beliefs influence their performance as business employees or designated Public Servants? 

 

Article Excerpt:                                                                                               "Apocalypticism: The belief in an approaching confrontation, cataclysmic event, or transformation of epochal proportion, about which a select few have forewarning so they can make appropriate preparations. From a Greek root word suggesting unveiling hidden information or revealing secret knowledge about unfolding human events. The dualist or demonized version involves a final show-down struggle between absolute good and absolute evil. In Christianity there are competing apocalyptic prophetic traditions based on demonization or liberation. Central to Christianity, the tradition also exists in Judaism, Islam, and other religions and secular belief structures. Believers can be passive or active in anticipation; and optimistic or pessimistic about the outcome. Sometimes used similarly to the term millenarianism.

 Millennialism: A sense of expectation that a significant epochal transformation is imminent, marking either the end of a thousand year period, or signal its beginning, or both. Two major forms of millennialist response are passive waiting versus activist intervention. Can involve varying degres of apocalypticism. In Christianity, the idea that the Second Coming of Christ marks a thousand year period."
