  Except isn’t nthis what American zionists want?

  There is an American doomsday cult that thinks Israel needs to be demolished, because some 3rd century gnostic who was most likely tripping balls while writing Christian fanfic got his work included in the official Biblical texts.

  What this overlooks is how many times the territories in and around Jerusalem have been sacked and plundered, how many genocides the region has endured, and how often the various diasporas native to the region have failed to fulfill any of their goofy eliminationist fantasies.

  Armageddon keeps happening. Antichrists keep emerging. Plagues keep ravishing the land. We must be on the twentieth “Second Coming” by now.

    Honestly, predicting conflict in the middle east and calling it “prophecy” is hilarious.

      “The last battle humans fight on all of Earth will be at a big hill called Tel Megiddo just west of Afula” is one hell of a bold claim, though.

    If you mean the Revelation, it’s a political pamphlet masqueraded as apocalyptic literature, which was a popular genre at the time.
