This week I read several articles about a “Christian” militia group coming up with a plot to attack police targets because they were agents of the anti-Christ’s one world government.  You can read a bunch of article about them here. I recommend reading up on this, folks.  Really. You can read the groups description of themselves on their web-site.  I hesitate given them a link – but it’s a valuable lesson in how not to do eschatology.

Honestly, I couldn’t make this stuff up if I wanted to.  Christians need to look this square in the eye and say, “Yah, those ideas are born from the serpent.”  Enough already.

What floored me is that when I first read the article the only thing I could think of was an old clip from “The Daily Show” regarding the Left Behind: Eternal Forces game (Can’t embed, sorry.  It also gets risquee at the end so just be warned).  Folks, this is where this craziness leads – and we need to do a better job giving people a more Biblical understanding of eschatology before even more churches start jumping on board.  In the coming year,  some how, I’m dealing with revelation and eschatology in Church.  I’ve never shied away from it, but these folks make me want to hit it straight on.
