"Christendom" is a counterfeit Christianity in the form of a Constantinian Civil Religion. It is a religion which has been taken into the captivity of its surrounding culture. As with the Jewish religion which centuries ago had been exiled in Babylon, any remaining vestiges of our culturalized Christianity are now being utterly shaken to bare bones. This can be very unsettling to all who identify as "Christian". But it is also absolutely necessary for the counterfeit to fall, so that the Lord can raise up that faith He looks for at His return. In fact, He is at work in the very cultural captivity to "TURN CAPTIVITY CAPTIVE" - turn their hearts captive to Himself - for a more authentic Christ-centered expression of His Kingdom - A Remnant - "A People Prepared for the Lord".
