Huckabee a Dominionist? by Terry James

From raptureready.com (Nearing Midnight)

Media today are as often as not a danger to Truth. They are so in that 1) they deliberately lie about much in order to tailor their narratives so the public is deceived into accepting Media’s desired slant. And/or 2) Media is so woefully inept and uneducated because of lack of research accuracy that non-Truth is far more prevalent than actual Truth in conclusions reached and delivered for public consumption.

Second Coming and Christian Reconstruction

Such a condemnation of media is blatantly on display with the claim that Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, now in the process of being confirmed as the Trump Administration’s ambassador to Israel, adheres to Dominionism.

He is lumped in with those on the so-called Christian Right who claim Christian Reconstructionism (CR) as the Biblically Prescribed way of governance.

The following is taken from a recent article we ran on Raptureready.com News. I wish we hadn’t done so –Wish that I had read it before it was posted.

Dominionism constitutes a radical departure from traditional Christianity, in which believers await Christ’s return for a millennial reign. CR teaches that the world must come under Biblical law before Christ will return. Along with its inherent bias towards unchecked capitalism and disregard for the needy, Christian Reconstructionism provides a philosophical underpinning for world domination by rich, Christian American males.

As George Grant wrote in The Changing of the Guard, Biblical Principles for Political Action: “Christians have an obligation, a mandate, a commission, a holy responsibility to reclaim the land for Jesus Christ — to have dominion in civil structures, just as in every other aspect of life and godliness. But it is dominion we are after. Not just a voice. It is dominion we are after. Not just influence. It is dominion we are after. Not just equal time. It is dominion we are after. World conquest.” [Source: Trump names a Dominionist as Ambassador to Israel. Here’s What That Means, by Janet Phelan, ZeroHedge, March 23, 2025]

This source of news we post is usually on the mark and holds to information that is from an unbiased to slightly right-leaning slant. Therefore, I believe this comes from the second condemnation I mentioned above. I believe this, to a large extent, is due to ignorance –information that has not been researched and vetted. That’s probably why I didn’t check it. ZeroHedge is most generally a source I trust; I don’t feel the need to fact-check what is presented. That, I now realize, can be a very serious omission, so I will do better in that regard.

Here is what the writer says about Mike Huckabee, which I find in error at best and deliberately misleading at worst.

President Trump has named former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee as the next Ambassador to Israel. Huckabee is a Christian and a Dominionist. The Senate confirmation hearings will take place next week.

While pro-Palestinian media has been critical of Huckabee’s stance on settlements (https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/11/12/trump-picks-pro-settlement-mike-huckabee-as-us-ambassador-to-israel) and pro-Trump sources have been critical of the critics (https://jewishbreakingnews.com/american-jewry-fractured-over-trumps-choice-for-israel-ambassador/?fbclid=IwY2xjawJMSlVleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHd3tzFULbZDT8aCe8mqk49j5BfjKK4VdkzibyvHqT9nG-SB-RzdsuGgToA_aem_secsh04VNNch9Qdp-_1rqQ), the fact remains that a core belief of Dominionism is that the Jews will need to die in order to enable the Second Coming.

In 2015, New Eastern Outlook published my article on Dominionism, which I have copied in its entirety here. I have only one question, which is how in the world could an individual with this set of beliefs possibly align those beliefs with the best and highest interests of a Jewish state. [Source: Ibid ]

Ms. Phelan goes on to present her previously published article. She asks the question: Have you ever wondered why the political arena in America has become so top-heavy with Christian fundamentalists?

She writes that as society continues to fray (things becoming less moral, etc.), the religionists have come to the forefront. She then says the following:

A parallel movement of “back to fundamentals” began to emerge in all three Abrahamic religions. It is not only Islam that has birthed its own variety of fundamentalism. Orthodox synagogues are seeing a swelling of congregations, and a new strain of Christianity, which is both fiercely political as well as militant in its promotion of theocracy, has emerged as a potent force on the American scene. Christian Reconstructionism (CR) has been called “the American Taliban.” [Source: Ibid]

I need go no further in this brief column space to lay out the egregious charge implicit within Ms. Phelan’s piece on Governor Huckabee and her view of the dangerous rise of so-called Christian Reconstructionism. Her calling Mr. Huckabee a Dominionist represents a charge far from the truth regarding the Governor’s view of how God intends His representatives on earth to interact.

Mr. Huckabee is a Southern Baptist preacher who believed he should become involved in government. And, yes, he did so hoping to contribute godly influence within his becoming involved as first lieutenant governor, then governor of Arkansas. He, of course, ran for president at one point.

Huckabee has been influential at every opportunity, drawing ire in some cases, from even among some of the so-called Rinos (Republicans in name only) from within his own party. By championing causes that uphold True Biblical, Christian principles, the enemies of the God of Heaven have emerged many times from the proverbial woodwork.

I know what Mr. Huckabee believes about government, because I come from the same Biblically correct background. He does not believe, as Ms. Phelan charges, that all citizens should be made to conform to a Baptist or even Christian view codified in Constitutional Law.

He certainly does not believe or agree with CR and the Dominionists like Ms. Phelan writes – that CR and the Dominions intend to make America and Planet Earth good enough for Christ to Return. He knows and declares that Jesus Christ, and He Alone, can and will return to make this world ready for His thousand-year Reign.

Mike Huckabee does believe with all that is within his Holy-Spirit Directed mind that God has told all of humankind that He–God—will Bless all who bless Israel and that He–God—will curse all that curse Israel (Genesis 12:3).

We can be thankful that the God of Heaven has, for His own Good Reasons, put true Christians like Mike Huckabee in this government to surround this president. I haven’t a clue as to all of God’s Great Purpose in all of this. But I do know that it is to somehow bring all of Bible prophecy to fulfillment.

This means, I believe, that very soon the Rapture of all believers will occur. All Christian influence by believers –in whom God the Restraining Holy Spirit Indwells—will be removed to the Clouds of Glory, leaving a terrifying vacuum of Christian influence upon governing in America and every other nation of this judgment-bound world.

We –Mr. Huckabee and myself – along with every believer in Jesus Christ for salvation, say with acclamation that Jesus Christ and His Millennial Reign on this planet is the Dominion we desire in the deepest reaches of our souls. Souls which our Lord has Secured for all Eternity as the sacrificial Lamb that takes away the sins of the world.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
