How would you identify a ‘modern day’ prophet?
No, we’re not talking about someone who takes a wild guess at some unusual thing that’s supposed to happen sometime in the future.
We are talking about someone who, as far back as the 1960’s looked ahead and saw the disastrous course on which our nation had set itself.
Author of over 30 books, and sometimes called the father of the Christian and Homeschool movements,
R. J. Rushdoony (1916-2001) was a man who clearly saw that if a nation-yes-nation does not seek to serve Christ in her national laws and culture, then that nation can only be headed for the trash heap.
However, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord…” More than anyone else I know, Dr. Rushdoony outlined the case for an explicitly Christian nation.
He is one of very few ever to do so in the modern era. As a result, his influence has been profound. It is safe to say that almost no contemporary theologian has written so much that has clarified an explicitly biblical view of society, be it law, economics, education, justice, entertainment, philosophy and general culture.
