Postmodernism is a way of thinking that followed the Modernism way of thinking. Modernism was a way of thinking that rejected the supernatural and embraced reasoning as the sole-source to determine truth.
The goal of Modernism was to reject the Christian worldview which is based on the supernatural, and embrace human reasoning to explain all of reality with evolution as its foundation of explaining life.
The problem with Modernism is the even if you ignore the supernatural, the evidence that reasoning is built upon also leads to a Christian worldview. For example, many recent scientific discoveries with DNA and the beginning of the universe point directly to an intelligent designer – God.
Since the world cannot tolerate a way of thinking that points to God, they have moved to Postmodernism, which is the rejection of reasoning. Evidence cannot be trusted because it points to God, and neither can reasoning because it points to God. The entire idea that truth can be found by evidence and reasoning was abandoned. This is the dominant way of thinking taught at universities around the world today.
The heart of postmodernism is unbelief in truth, unbelief in Christ, that he is the Son of God, that he is the truth and apart from him there is no truth. At the same time the evidence for Christ and the bible has become irrefutable. He is the source and sustainer of life from the beginning.
Truth Is Essential
As this way of thinking (the rejection of Christ) continues to spread from nation to nation over the last several decades, it is destroying each nation and leading to a global collapse, from marriage to families to churches to businesses and the massive national debts in place of believing in the truth. All because the nations refuse to believe in the truth that is clearly evident.
“For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.” – Romans 1:20
The refusal to love the truth is leading the world right into the events of the end times. The details of many nations in the end times are given in the scriptures. For example, Russia’s recent return to world power and partnership with Iran looks a lot like the events detailed in Ezekiel 38.
The rise of post-modernism also tells us why we are seeing fewer and fewer being saved, because the love of truth is critical to finding Christ.
“They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.” - 2 Thessalonians 2:10
As the nations grow in their rejection of Christ, they are collapsing one by one, unable to find another foundation.
