Pre-millennialists and post-millennialists acknowledge this. The relationship between eschatology and culture is inseparable in each generation and nation. Gary critically evaluates his critics that suggest "getting along" is more important than correctly interpreting Bible prophecy. If Biblical eschatology can be understood by believers today, it is most important for Christians to have the right eschatological view so that they will most effectively live out biblical dominion. http://www.americanvision.org/media/download/critically-studying-biblical-eschatology http://www.americanvision.org/mediafiles/tgds-20091216.mp3 Wed, 16 Dec 2009 20:15:26 GMT featuring Gary DeMar People's eschatology effects the way they live out their lives.
