I believe that the same problem applies to our interpretation of Daniel and Revelation. All the negative passages are applied to the current age. All the promises of victory are pushed to after the second coming. This gives a total distorted view of Gods plan and produces Pessimistic Christianity. When interpreting visions from God, we should take off our dark glasses and listen carefully to Gods promises of victory and hope in the light of the word. They do not want to build a church, they want the whole city or nation! They live the future, for the future, from the future, constantly pregnant with future developments, and they can prevent it from becoming a traditional institution only celebrating the past, or a fossilised monument of history long gone.
