I think that’s a factor as well as the rapture bs, but from what I’ve seen, this type of people tend to be even more racist towards Palestinians.

4am@lemmy.zip 1 day agoNo, a lot of racists are also Zionists because they want the Jews to go somewhere else like Israel
Couple that with lots of Evangelical Christians (mostly USA) who think if the Jews all return to Israel it will usher in the rapture and they’ll spend eternity in pure ecstasy.
It’s weird living on a planet with so much delusion. I wonder if alien species went through this and if they’re ok now

An essential part of the end times myth is the reconstruction of the temple on the site that is currently occupied by a historically significant mosque. The evangelical support of Israel is entirely based around trying to force the prerequisites for Armageddon so they can enter the kingdom of heaven.
Never mind that only 144 thousand devout Jewish people are meant to end up there or that most of what they’re using as a basis for this was some guy’s coded bashing of Nero after getting exiled by him.

So your last paragraph is not entirely true. According to most Christian doctrines, the tribes of Israel stopped being a thing with Jesus, and the title now referred to the followers of the church created by Jesus. Second, the 144k is less a concrete number and more a representation of perfection. People considered pure good would recieve the seal of god on their forehead to contrast those of pure bad that recieve the mark of the beast. Third, the 144k are given the role to recruit others to fight with god against the antichrist and the beast. Finally, in Catholic and Orthodox doctrine, the 144k are theorized to be the saints reborn to lead tge rightcheous to victory.
