Revelation for the Rest of Us: A Prophetic Call to Follow Jesus as a Dissident Disciple

by Scot McKnight

Disciples reject the lordship of the president and of Washington DC and call government to be a servant for the people in a way that mimics the service churches provide in their communities. Disciples reject the state’s powers to control the church and dissident disciples shaped by Christ refuse to let the way of the dragon’s power take hold in the churches. Disciples reject becoming an agent of government and discern when political leaders want to use the church as a tool for their own power.

Instead, we preach the gospel about Jesus and call those peoples to follow Jesus in their country in their way.

In the end, when the heavenly perspective is finally revealed and the truth becomes evident, not only will all enemies be defeated and judged, but the martyr witnesses will conquer and be granted life and rule.
