They also 100% with total conviction believe it is their job to bring about the apocalypse and lead all the non-believers to their death.
Yeah, I've had so many people tell me I hurt my credibility when I call evangelicals in cabinet-level offices or heading federal agencies apocalyptic death cultists wielding policy to bring about the end of the world. It is not a joke, and acting like it is makes it harder to discuss it seriously.
The push towards the christian Apocalypse is scary, but not scary. I am reassured in Christ Jesus and his coming in Glory. But I am not pleased that this genocide is happening. The Kings of the East will cross the dried Euphrates soon. Greece and turkey will soon go to war.
The zionists/evangelicals want the third temple rebuilt. This will bring about the lawless one who will deceive the evangelicals he will be seen as a peace maker, and offer spectacle and miracles, he will pronounce himself GOD. Trust no one who does this. Jesus and the Gospel are the only truths.
I've decided to call them "rapture activists." It's not enough for them to go to heaven when they die. They have to have everyone else see them go to heaven -- to know that they're the super-special people and you're not. I wish we knew how many Pompeo and Flynn left lying about.
I think you might be referring to politicians and other control freaks who either identify as Christian to lever their cause, or to slur the Christian idea with badness. Either way, nobody can decide when the end comes, and many have tried to bring it on, or make people believe its here
What’s wild is that Christ literally (well scripture but you know what I mean) says “none shall know the hour” so you can’t just “summon” the apocalypse like some bunch of demon worshippers in a movie. But, then, paying attention to what Christ said isn’t a big priority for that crowd. Also…
Even more than that, I think they’re hoping to be the generation that gets raptured directly into Heaven without dying first. So if they can force God to kick off Armageddon a little sooner, it’s His divine will anyway so he won’t be mad at them, right? /s
