People who have no hope in apocalypse are definitely “neo”.

I attempted to read three or four of them, but…the writing was so clunky I never finished a one. From what I read, I thought it was a tawdry, blood soaked ethnic cleansing fantasy. The glorious supernatural born-again race (as I remember Kenneth Copeland repeating ecstatically on TV) is snatched to that very exclusive Pearly Gated community of many mansions (doubtlessly antebellum style) while the inferior non-snatched, unregenerate, soon to be damned race (with evil Catholics and effeminate homosexuals doing Satan’s bidding) get what they so richly deserve for not doing exactly as God’s regents demanded… horror upon horror upon horror..then into the flaming Pit for eternity, I guess. — To learn how to be one God’s regents and be first in the air for glory, go to Regent University, of course. I remember an early R.U. ad saying just that in Christianity Today years ago. Considering that a regent is one who rules in the name of a sovereign who is immature, incompetent or out of touch…they must teach some very heterodox theology at dear young Regent U. I also remember an inadvertently hilarious ad bragging about Regent U. being built with hand hewn bricks.
