Thesis 93: The City of God

Earthly cities depend (in vain) on walls and military garrisons for protection.[1] Christians, as the Temple-City of God,[2] need no such walls, no such polis.[3] The New Jerusalem is the Anti-Polis.[4]

We should abolish "the government" by preaching the gospel, gaining repentence, and seeing resignations of politicians (including those who abolish their own office before leaving).

Thesis 91: The Unconverted In the “Millennium”

As the Gospel takes root from shore to shore (#63, #67, #61, #51, cf. #23, #61 + #68), even those not genuinely converted will feign conversion, submission to the Covenant, and will generally obey Gospel principles of government and social order.[1] Compared with those who are truly converted, however, these cowards will be a minority,[2] for genuine conversion is the Lord’s will[3] and His will shall be done.[4]

In these Theses, "Patriarchy" is not the same as the "nuclear family." (Thesis 8: Patriarchy and "the Extended Family") or even the "extended family" (Thesis 39: Patriarchy and Education). "Patriarchy" means Christian Globalism.

She is like the merchant ships,
        She brings her food from afar.
She makes linen garments and sells them,
        And supplies sashes for the merchants.
Proverbs 31:14,24

This represents international commerce with those who feign Christianity.

Thesis 90: The New Heavens and New Earth

The Prophets spoke of a “new heavens and new earth.”[1] When this Age would come, people would still die , but not until after they had lived full, abundant lives. The Apostles believed that the inauguration of the New Age and fulfillment of “these promises” was imminent.[2] Christ ascended to the Right Hand of God to make all things new.[3]

Thesis 89: Edenic Restoration
