Eschatology and Causality

The Bible tells us that God has a purpose in His creation, and He is always totally active. Moreover the Bible does not tell us that the universe is inevitably declining. Leviticus 26, Deuteronomy 28, tell us that when there is a moral decline there is a material decline, when there is a theological decline, an apostasy, there is a physical decline. But when there is a re-awakening, then there is a change. The world around us, the ground beneath our feet, the weather above us, all of them improve when people return to the Lord.

Rev. R.J. Rushdoony (1916–2001), was a leading theologian, church/state expert, and author of numerous works on the application of Biblical law to society. He started the Chalcedon Foundation in 1965. His Institutes of Biblical Law (1973) began the contemporary theonomy movement which posits the validity of Biblical law as God’s standard of obedience for all. He therefore saw God’s law as the basis of the modern Christian response to the cultural decline, one he attributed to the church’s false view of God’s law being opposed to His grace. This broad Christian response he described as “Christian Reconstruction.” He is credited with igniting the modern Christian school and homeschooling movements in the mid to late 20th century. He also traveled extensively lecturing and serving as an expert witness in numerous court cases regarding religious liberty. Many ministry and educational efforts that continue today, took their philosophical and Biblical roots from his lectures and books.
