#2 Through Fiery Trials, Not a Golden Age Prosperity

Mark and Fred discuss the “glorious church” and contrast their view with dominion or “kingdom now” theology. They argue that rather than the church taking control of society before Christ returns, Scripture teaches that God will purify His people through trials, suffering, and refinement. While they welcome the renewed public use of Jesus’ name, they warn of deception and mixture. Ultimately, they believe Christ returns for a sanctified, faithful bride shaped through obedience and hardship.
