Before He Returns: A CHRISTIAN CALL TO RESTORE LIBERTY

Description

The church was not always this quiet.

For most of Christian history, believers built civilizations, confronted tyrants, reformed corrupt governments, and established legal systems rooted in biblical law. They did not believe righteousness was doomed to lose. They believed Christ was King — now.

So what happened?

Before He Returns: A Christian Call to Restore Liberty traces the theological shift that disarmed the modern church — and makes the case that passive Christianity is not humble faith. It is abandoned duty.

Drawing on Scripture, the American founding, and two centuries of church history, Ben McClintock argues that the expectation of inevitable civilizational collapse is not ancient orthodoxy. It is a relatively recent innovation — one that has produced exactly what bad theology always produces: retreat, silence, and men who pray for rescue instead of preparing for rule.

The kingdom Daniel described does not evacuate. It expands. The stone becomes a mountain that fills the whole earth.

Before He Returns covers:

• The lie that reshaped millions of Christians — and why it isn’t in the early church or the Reformers
• How dispensationalism entered mainstream evangelicalism and what it cost us
• Why natural law is not a humanist concept — and what Romans 13 actually says
• How the Johnson Amendment trained pastors to police themselves into silence
• The biblical vision of Zion as an active, organized, righteous community — not a passive one
• Scripture’s consistent pattern: not retreat, but preparation
• What Christians must recover before the King returns

This is not a call to despair over what has been lost. It is a call to responsibility — to build, to confront, to act. Christ’s kingdom advances wherever His authority is acknowledged.

The question is whether you will engage — or sit it out.
