Do you know of anyone who currently holds to the Spiritual Vision Eschaton teaching? I mean, anyone credible?
No one will admit to holding to it because it sounds gnostic. But men do construct their eschatologies on it without realizing it.
But this is the idea that is often presented in evangelicalism.
