Kingdom Now Theology (Dominionism) basically teaches that the church can establish the kingdom of God before Jesus Christ returns. They essentially believe that God lost control and dominion over the earth to Satan when Adam and Eve first sinned in the Garden of Eden and that God is looking for a special group of believers, to be His “extension,” or “expression,” in the earth to take dominion back. They believe that the church, under the leadership of “restored” apostles and prophets, must take over the kingdoms of the world (government, politics, education, etc.) and put down all opposition to it before Christ can return. This theology teaches that the world can be conquered for Christ by the temporal political, military, and religious powers of a present day Christian superpower. The basis of this false teaching is that man must take dominion of this earth and change it for the better before Jesus can come.
