If you're reading this, chances are you are already at least partially familiar with a popular doctrine in the institutional church known as "Kingdom Now" theology. It actually goes by several different names and many groups that espouse the teaching (or aspects of it) may not even apply the label at all and some may even argue that they hold nothing in common with other threads of the teaching. Many groups, while clearly influenced by Kingdom Now concepts, may not regard such as even a formal doctrine they would naturally identify if you were to ask them outright, though elements of the mindset can often be discerned through expressed teachings and activities. There are often a number of different methodologies applied to how each group interprets their Kingdom Now slant on Christianity, which means that because each is subject to variant perspectives, no one group is easily labeled as "strict kingdom now"; however, if someone takes the time to educate themselves with the core elements of this doctrine, its origins, and of course remain sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit - the doctrine (however alternate each group may be) can be discerned and avoided. Yes, I did say avoided. It is this author's opinion that Kingdom Now theology runs contrary to Scripture. It subtly and inadvertantly alters people's perception of important aspects of the Gospel (thus making it, essentially, "another gospel"). This author believes that, in many cases, it largely denies the sovereignty of Jesus Christ and rejects the Biblically-manifested will of God by imposing its own concepts; suggesting that Christ cannot and/or will not return to earth until the Church (i.e. the institutional church system) has prepared this world for His coming by establishing His "kingdom" here (literally/physically) before He comes. The basic premise of Kingdom Theology is that man lost dominion over the earth when Adam and Eve sinned. That dominion was then turned over to Satan as a result of their actions. Proponents of Kingdom Theology teach that God essentially "lost control" of the earth to the devil because of Adam and Eve's sin, and has since been looking for a "covenant people" who will be His "extension," or "expression," in the earth and take dominion back from Satan. This, they teach, is to be accomplished through certain "overcomers" who, by yielding themselves to the authority of God's apostles and prophets for the Kingdom Age, will take control of the kingdoms of this world. (Thanks to Al Dager for help with this concise explanation - see his article in the links provided below) Generally this means that "the Church" must become such an influence in the world that it not only encourages governments to be persuaded to follow Christ, but it believes that, one day, the Church will be the dominant force in society, even "ruling" governments. Since believers are indwelt by the same Holy Spirit that indwelt Jesus, Kingdom Now-ists teach that we have all authority in heaven and on the earth and that we have the power to believe for and speak into existence things that are not as though they are, and thus we can bring about the Kingdom Age. This concept (widely quoted by supporters of Word Faith teaching as well) is based loosely on the passage in Romans 4:17, which says, "(As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were." Of course you'll note that the verse does not say anywhere that WE call things which be not as though they were, but GOD does that! This is merely one example of the subtle way God's Word has been twisted over the years and now is a popularly quoted phrase which many people actually believe is Scripture concerning them as "overcomers" in the Kingdom Age. While I am not personally opposed to the idea that our individual walk with Christ should naturally influence others (if it is sincere and true), I challenge the notion that such should be an organized goal or agenda of religion. Influence should transpire as an unprovoked, spontaneous and natural result to a sincere manifestation of Christ in the believer. In other words, as we pursue sincere relationship with the Father, for no other reason but to know Him intimately, the effect of that passion for Him will presumably influence those around us. Not because we are trying to manipulate a response, but because we can't help it. And as we fall deeper in love with our Lord and follow His lead and example, we will naturally be drawn into closer communion with each other as brothers and sisters in Christ and the world, in turn will be drawn to Him. However, some will hate us (rather than be compelled to follow Him) by our example. Just as assuradely as Jesus said they will know we are His disciples because of our love for one another, so did He say that many would hate us simply because we follow HIM. I believe both of these reactions are biblical and both will result when people are genuinely following Jesus Christ. However, this is where I feel the Kingdom Now philosophy fails, for it sees influencing the world as an "objective" rather than a result of our simply loving Christ and one another.
Philippians 2:5-11 - Think of yourselves the way Christ Jesus thought of himself. He had equal status with God but didn't think so much of himself that he had to cling to the advantages of that status no matter what. Not at all. When the time came, he set aside the privileges of deity and took on the status of a slave, became human! Having become human, he stayed human. It was an incredibly humbling process. He didn't claim special privileges. Instead, he lived a selfless, obedient life and then died a selfless, obedient death--and the worst kind of death at that: a crucifixion. Because of that obedience, God lifted him high and honored him far beyond anyone or anything, ever, so that all created beings in heaven and on earth--even those long ago dead and buried--will bow in worship before this Jesus Christ, and call out in praise that he is the Master of all, to the glorious honor of God the Father. 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12 - Make it your aim to live a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to earn your own living, just as we told you before. In this way you will win the respect of those who are not believers, and you will not have to depend on anyone for what you need. Matthew 5:16 - Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand--shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven. These are but a few of the Scripture passages that come to mind when I consider how the Gospel is the power of God unto salvation for all who believe. If we truly believe the truth and live by it (walking by faith - not by human wisdom, grandiose agendas, or works of the Law) the impact of that faith (which involves motivation of love and being led by God's Holy Spirit) will have a reactive effect. But if we think we can manipulate kingdoms to bow their knee to God because we are forcing our influence on others, implementing legalistic mindsets and even "evangelistic" agendas as some sort of group uniformity (i.e. a marching army "taking the land"), this is not the way of the Gospel. It is not what Jesus demonstrated, nor is it what any of the apostles taught or modeled with their lives. Kingdom Now theology presents a mindset that, this author believes, runs contrary to Gospel living and is actually counter-effective to encouraging believers with a right understanding of God's Kingdom. Rather than taking the position of humble servants, children of God, and brothers and sisters, it magnifies a hierarchy of theocratic rulers (i.e. apostles, prophets, "spiritual fathers", etc.) to lead the Church into a mighty reformation of society and prepare the earth for Christ's return by establishing His kingdom here, literally and physically, by the works of men. Many proponents of the doctrine actually go so far as to teach that Christ IS COME NOW in the flesh through appointed apostles and prophets who themselves represent the rule of Christ on earth in precedence to His literal return - therefore it believes to be essential that all believers submit to this authority. There are also those who do not believe there will ever be a literal return of Jesus but that He instead has come already IN the Church and will rule and reign throughout the earth through the Church. Thus (to approach this logically) the Church is magnified as "Christ" Himself. This author believes such is not only contrary to the teaching of Scripture and the character and teaching of Christ, but it is also an extremely arrogant approach in the intent of action to represent the Kingdom of God. It removes Christ as Lord and Ruler and replaces His reign with the leadership of man. It is, in all actuality, an anti-Christ mentality (though proponents would argue the opposite). Many Kingdom Now proponents believe, in contrast, that the anti-Christ spirit is rather represented by anyone who rejects the authority of these new modern-day apostles and prophets in God's new Kingdom Age. Everything is often turned on end to support the glorious hierarchy of the institutional church system who is Christ in flesh ruling now through men. But what is the Kingdom really and what is to be the mindset of those who partake of it? The word "kingdom" comes from the Greek term, basileia, which does not have the modern sense of a "government" which many in the Kingdom Now movement would like to give it. As the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament states, "The term basileia, refers to the being or nature or state of a king, i.e., his dignity, and secondarily the expression of this in the territory he governs. The sense of dignity is primary in the LXX, Philo, and the NT." Thayer's Theologican Dictionary states that the word "kingdom" represents "royal power, kingship, dominion, rule - not to be confused with an actual kingdom but rather the right or authority to rule over a kingdom and of the royal power of Jesus as the triumphant Messiah." Vine's Greek Dictionary says, "...the 'kingdom' is said to be 'in mystery' now, Mar_4:11, that is, it does not come within the range of the natural powers of observation, Luk_17:20, but is spiritually discerned, Joh_3:3 (cp. 1Co_2:14). When, hereafter, God asserts His rule universally, then the "kingdom" will be in glory, that is, it will be manifest to all; cp. Mat_25:31-34; Phi_2:9-11; 2Ti_4:1, 2Ti_4:18." In the New Testament, concerning the Kingdom in relationship to the Church, the stress is put on a person who is a king, or his kingship, his reign, his royal dignity, not the idea of a human governmental organization on earth as Kingdom Now advocates imply. The expression the "good news of the kingdom" is primarily speaking about Christ's example of living, loving and being, focusing on the person of the son of God and his lordship. Put another way, the Kingdom is the realm of God's rule in the lives of His people. We might also say that the Kingdom of God is an experience (of living relationship with Christ) not an explanation of how to subdue earthly kingdoms of this world and see the Church rule soceity through a host of hierarchical leaders. I like how one author put it:
This is an obvious principle difference in perspective between Kingdom Now-ists and traditional, biblical Christianity. Kingdom Now-ists do not appear to be heavily-persuaded by the strong revelation Jesus gave, which is that "the kingdom of God is INSIDE you"; it is not something observed with the eyes of flesh, such as men taking over governments or raising up institutions and programs - by which they would proclaim, "Look, here is the Kingdom of God." They, instead, view a more visible kingdom - ruled by men and esteemed as Christ. But not only is theirs a visible kingdom (which is contrary to Jesus' teaching in Luke 17), but it involves a doctrine that attempts to mix and meld Law with Grace. Whereas some who believe Kingdom Now rely heavily on the Law for guidence in matters of practice, the Scripture teaches that the just live by faith and are led by the Holy Spirit. One of the biggest problems with the belief that Christians are to place themselves under the governance of the Old Covenant Law is the fact that Scripture teaches that doing such actually holds you in bondage to sin!!! It does not help you overcome it!
If you live under the Law - SIN WILL HAVE DOMINION OVER YOU! This reveals an enormous contradiction in Kingdom Now-ists view of implementing the Law for sanctification and helping them to take dominion and authority in the earth and establish what they call the Kingdom Now. Their doctrine actually deceptively accomplishes the opposite! The only way to overcome sin is to live under Grace, by faith! Romans 6:22 tells us that it is Grace (accomplishing our freedom from sin) that yeilds fruit UNTO SANCTIFICATION!!!! GRACE - NOT THE LAW!!! Plain and simple, those who teach Kingdom Now with respect to sanctification through the Law are not preaching the truth but a lie against the truth. It is 100% false doctrine! It is only through the Spirit of God that we can mortify the deeds of the flesh. This is possible because we are sons of God, adopted into His family. Jesus said plainly in Matthew 17 that sons are FREE. The Law is not our schoolmaster (Galatians 3:25-26 - "But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus."). The Law profits nothing unto sanctification. NOTHING!!!! We are sanctified by faith in Christ Jesus (Acts 26:18; 1 Corinthians 1:2; Hebrews 10:10) and through the cleansing inner work of the Holy Spirit who also prompts us to obedience (Romans 15:16; 1 Peter 1:2). Again, NOT BY KEEPING THE LAW!
Galatians 3:2-3 - Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by keeping the law? Of course not, for the Holy Spirit came upon you only after you believed the message you heard about Christ. Have you lost your senses? After starting your Christian lives in the Spirit, why are you now trying to become perfect by your own human effort (through keeping the Law)? Paul encountered a misconception among the Roman believers whereby they were entangling themselves with legalism as though enforcing the Law among themselves was condusive to the advancement of the Kingdom of God. Paul corrected their error. In fact, Paul pointed out that it was wrong for them to try to set some group standard of how everyone must walk out their faith in some kind of uniform agenda (which they naturally argued over).
Romans 14:17-18 - God's kingdom does not consist of what a person eats or drinks. Rather, GOD'S KINGDOM CONSISTS OF: God's approval and peace, as well as the joy that the Holy Spirit gives. The person who serves Christ with this in mind is pleasing to God and respected by people. Such a simple mindset the Scripture presents. Simple, but spiritually powerful!!! Paul makes it absolutely clear that the Kingdom consists of God's approval (the righteousness that comes by faith in Jesus Christ), peace and the joy that the Holy Spirit gives us. Where is the militant Kingdom Now objective in that. Everything we see as it regards His true Kingdom is that of the internal work of the Holy Spirit in each one's lives. As we quietly live in faith, love, peace and submission to the Will of Christ, the Kingdom is manifested - but it is not this man-hyped mighty goal to siege nations for God and "usher in the Kingdom" with human hands. Believers who have been captivated by these kinds of mindsets need to come out of the clouds and learn to live more humbly among men, more sensitively to the Holy Spirit, and more passionately in pursuit of their relationship with Father God. Let God build His kingdom as we simply submit our lives to Him and walk in love with one another, upholding His truth. One of the great concerns to be examined is how Kingdom Now theology is generally strongly legalistic in that it believes the Old Covenant Law is mostly applicable to the Church today and that only certain "parts" of that Law have been abolished/fulfilled because of Christ Jesus. Rather than believing what the Scripture plainly says concerning the Law, by Jesus' own words on the cross, "IT IS FINISHED" (i.e. accomplished, fulfilled, brought to completion), they imply that what He really meant was "it is confirmed." In other words, the Law can now come to its perfect fullment through the Church - and eventually manifest itself in society. This reveals a subtle, yet definite mix of Law and Grace - which Scripture regards as impossible and is actually preached against strongly by the apostles in the New Testament on a number of occasions. This Old Covenant Law, they believe, will be a (if not the) key element involved in how society is governed the closer they move toward a world Kingdom theology. As far as salvation is concerned, Kingdom Now proponents generally do not believe that keeping the Law is necessary for salvation (thank God), but that it is essential (or at least incredibly beneficial) for sanctification. In order to overcome the problem of dealing with the more difficult aspects of the Law in terms of application (such as animal sacrifices or commandments such the requirement to kill sorcerers and adulterers), they divide the Law up into three supposed sections (for lack of a better term); in other words, they believe there is the ceremonial law (which dealt with the sacrifices and ritual), the civil law (which dealt with government) and the moral law (the ten commandments). Kingdom Now proponents generally teach that only the ceremonial part of the Law was fulfilled at the cross, leaving the civil and moral. The civil they believe is the basic framework and ultimate standard for government and the moral law is binding on all men. One of the most problematic issues with this concept is that NOWHERE does the Bible divide the Law up like this (nor does it ever say that only part of the Law was fulfilled at Calvary)! While it is true that separate aspects of the Law can be discerned (even as ceremonial, civil and moral) in composition, the Scripture regards ALL of these facets of the Law as ONE!!! Search your Bible and see that this is true: Exodus 27:21; 28:43; 29:28; 30:21; Leviticus 6:18,22; 7:34 (and many more). To reiterate this point, it can be clearly seen that proponents of Kingdom Now theology do not have an "absolute" view of the Law (which is what the Bible clearly requires of such legalists - James 2:9-10 - "But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and will be convicted by the law as violators. For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point is guilty of breaking all of it."). There is simply no permission given ANYWHERE in Scripture to divvy up the Law into parts (some to keep, some to ignore, and some to change). Proponents of Kingdom Now, however, thrive on partiality concerning the Law (therefore rejecting Scripture) and they convince others to do so as well. The real danger here is that they miss the point of the Law and the Gospel; that the Law condemned all of us under sin - showing our utter weakness in being able to achieve righteousness through it and thus our utter dependance on the righteousness that comes by faith in Jesus Christ alone. Kingdom Now proponents either fail to understand the purpose of the Law (and the privilege and enabling power of Grace), or they ignore that purpose in favor of their own delusion of works righteousness and using the Law as a means to coerce others to various actions. They believe in the Law when it is convenient or beneficial to their cause (such as getting people to "tithe" for the purpose of financing their organizations and its leaders or using the Law (i.e. its imagery of priests and temples) to make parallels to their hierarchical leadership structures, religiously dedicated buildings and threatening those who disagree with curses or the fear that they will be left out of God's plan, His provision, His blessing, His anointing, and His favor)... Ironically, while they mark people who reject their theology as being their judges, their entire philosophy is based on judgment. To make matters even more confusing, their view of the Law cannot even be understood by simply reading the text as it is written. A person who believes in Kingdom Now would be wrong to presume that what is written as it is written is intended exactly as it is written and must instead listen only to the unqualified interpretation of their leader (i.e. the tithe is somehow now money instead of food, or the Sabbath is now observed Sunday instead of Saturday, pastors are believed to be essentially modern day priests, and church buildings are now regarded in parallel to the Temple instead of how Scripture presents that the believer in Christ - not a building - is now called the Temple of the Holy Spirit). Though Scripture never defines any of these changes or new parallels, somehow the proponents of Kingdom Now theology are confident to still call them "the commandments of God." The authority by which leaders espousing Kingdom Now theology change the originally stated purpose and application of various laws is unknown but followers are expected to trust them absolutely regardless of the enormous inconsistencies and obvious errors.
Mark 7:6-9 - Jesus answered them, "How right Isaiah was when he prophesied about you! You are hypocrites, just as he wrote: 'These people, says God, honor me with their words, but their heart is really far away from me. It is no use for them to worship me, because they teach human rules as though they were my laws!' "You put aside God's command and obey human teachings." And Jesus continued, "You have a clever way of rejecting God's law in order to uphold your own teaching." As I said, proponents of Kingdom Now theology are extremely inconsistent and partial concerning the Law and it's difficult to pin them down on which parts they think are essential (i.e. "for today") and which parts they think are not. But even the parts that they believe are absolutely necessary for Christians to observe, they often apply "grace" to if they fail in them, while other parts they afford no grace at all. Other parts are discarded entirely for various reasons (usually under the "suddenly convenient" argument that those were covered at the cross). In general though, the logic surrounding their implementation of these ideas is severely flawed, sporadic and spurious. If wasn't so sad that people actually believe this stuff without any reservation it would be laughable. Since Kingdom Now teachers want to impose the Law on their followers, I will quote the Law (and the Gospel of Grace) to them as well and remind them boldly that when they take the Law into their own hands and re-interpret it according to what sounds best to them, they are actually leading others to sin and they are cutting people off from Christ by convincing them to live under the Law instead of by faith:
Galatians 5:1 So Christ has really set us free. Now make sure that you stay free, and don't get tied up again in slavery to the law. Galatians 5:4-10 - For if you are trying to make yourselves right with God by keeping the law, you have been cut off from Christ! You have fallen away from God's grace. But we who live by the Spirit eagerly wait to receive everything promised to us who are right with God through faith. For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, it makes no difference to God whether we are circumcised or not circumcised. What is important is faith expressing itself in love. You were getting along so well. Who has interfered with you to hold you back from following the truth? It certainly isn't God, for he is the one who called you to freedom. But it takes only one wrong person among you to infect all the others-a little yeast spreads quickly through the whole batch of dough! I am trusting the Lord to bring you back to believing as I do about these things. God will judge that person, whoever it is, who has been troubling and confusing you. As you might have guessed by this time, the doctrine generally espouses a heavy emphasis on apostolic leadership (in a hierarchical and formal sense) and a necessity for "laity" to submit themselves to this "New Testament priesthood" in order for the Church to come into proper alignment and maturity so that it can carry out the will of God. Most people who believe Kingdom Now doctrine do not believe in the rapture of the Church (whether pre, mid, or post), but believe that the Great Tribulation happened thousands of years ago. They, essentially, believe we are in the millennial reign of Christ right now but they do not interpret "the thousand year reign" as literal; instead they assert it merely means a very long time. Most Kingdom Now proponents do believe in a literal, physical return of Christ to the earth, but His coming may be many thousands of years away and, in fact, (they believe) cannot transpire at all until the Church has fully ushered in the Kingdom of God here. Kingdom Now is, in this author's opinion, a man-dependent doctrine, in that it relies and depends on the works of men in order for God to be able to accomplish His will. It is a largely arrogant perspective of the Church rather than a Christ-confident one (which proponents want followers to believe). That is my nutshell recounting of basic Kingdom Now philosophy (or philosophies as the case may be) as I understand it. As I said, different groups emphasize different themes alternately and some more than others. But these themes are, nonetheless, generally present at the core. The institutional church I attended between 1991 and 2001 was influenced by a number of these concepts and it wasn't until I found myself "outside" of the church system (following the leading of the Lord) that I began to understand why I always seemed to have trouble comprehending why leaders couldn't/wouldn't grasp simple New Testament concepts that I would share as the Lord excited me with revelation about them, but instead favored the Law, had a distorted understanding of Grace, and sometimes leaned towards legalism, heavy shepherding concepts, manipulation and even facets of spiritual abuse. Perhaps this was not their true intention but such fell in the wake of these underlying mindsets that motivates these outcomes. I often found myself confused and frustrated with teachings that I was convinced held no harmony with Scripture and I frequently would scratch my head and wonder how people could believe such concepts and have no red flags even wave in their mind upon presentation. My standing true to my convictions and trying to walk in obedience to truth caused me, in some respects, to be viewed as a trouble maker I suppose; ironically as being someone who believed in some odd doctrines. Leaders saw my views as being products of deception, "scary" and potentially harmful to the rest of the flock. Back then I had little clue of what I was up against. Now, after having been away from that influence for several years, it's becoming clearer and I understand better why so many of the people I knew there and loved shook their heads at me in confusion and disbelief. I am not mad at any of them (not even at those leaders who propogated these mindsets and misunderstood me), but I pray for the day their eyes will open to the truth (just as God turned my own world upsidedown and opened my eyes). It is my honest belief that the enemy is playing games with their head and hearts and, if they do not open their eyes, it will either destroy their faith, blind them entirely from truth, or bring them to a painful shaking that forces them to awake. I would hope for a gentler outcome, but I fear if they do not become diligent in their love for the truth, they will be further and further deceived. I say that with all the love I can convey. That truly is not a bitter retort. I bought this deception myself for a season and I do not think any higher of myself for being able to see it now. I pray God will have mercy and that His glorious truth will prevail and that none of my brothers and sisters will be trapped in this deception any longer. I have since become aware that there are literally thousands of churches around the U.S. (and perhaps world) that are influenced by this teaching. As I've already shared with you, my opinion is that Kingdom Now theology is contrary to the Gospel and does not align with Scripture. I furthermore believe it is dangerous and severely heretical (even a doctrine of demons). I also realize that many wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ are presently persuaded by this teaching and many, I know, have good intentions and a sincere desire to know the Lord and obey His will. I believe, if that desire is indeed pure, they will know His will and He will watch over them and effectively draw them out of deception, mature them in truth and lead them on as He purposes. I am nobody and I do not intend to imply with these words that I am somehow better than anyone else. The fact is, I succumbed to much deception myself in days past before my eyes were opened by the Lord to see what I had allowed to grip me. The intent of this page is not to issue condemnation to any of my Christian friends or even to leaders of churches who may presently hold to elements of Kingdom Now theology. The intent is to educate whoever is willing to learn what Kingdom Now theology is all about, where it began, where it's perceivably going, and why there are those of us who no longer can, in good conscience, support this teaching. He who has ears to hear, let him hear. That is my sincere prayer. If these articles offend you or anger you in any way, I am sorry. I wish you God's peace and His grace and that truth will light your way as you seek to follow Him. One final note I wish to share, personally, concerning the concept of "Kingdom Now" in the event that there may be a few of you of you out there who identify with the phrase but not the extremes to which it has been largely taken. There is only one aspect of "Kingdom Theology" that I stand in agreement with, and that is the belief that God's Kingdom is present now INTERNALLY within the believer in Christ. Because of that fact, I believe 100% in the reality of miracles, signs, wonders, and gifts of the Holy Spirit present TODAY in and through the believer in Christ. But I do believe also in a Kingdom to come and I do not believe we have to set it up before Jesus can come back. I do believe in a coming Great Tribulation, a rapture, a Day of Wrath for the wicked, a Milennial Kingdom to follow, and a home in Glory. And I do believe that the Law was fulfilled COMPLETELY in Christ at the cross! Having said all of that, I will say that it is therefore technically possible to believe in something called "Kingdom Theology" without being a Dominionist or Reconstructionist or even a traditional proponent of historical Kingdom Now theology. I merely share these points with the intent that I not be misunderstood as to whether or not I believe that there is indeed a sense whereby the Lord's Kingdom is present now as well as it shall be in the future when Christ returns.
