“He said that ‘President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth’”, the NCO added.
Ten to one the soldiers who’ve died in this sham war were among the ones who rolled their eyes at this crap.

You know causing armageddon by definition sends you straight to hell, right?
Like, it would be the ultimate insult to God giving man dominion over the earth to purposefully engineer a situation so bad he has to destroy it.
But on top of that, the Bible explicitly says nobody will know when it will happen, and I’m pretty sure it says anyone saying they do will go to hell also.

Their logic:
By setting conditions that humans can control, God’s plan was for mankind to fufil the conditions.
To work against them, could even be seen to be defying God’s will.
You have to remember that all of these old idiots expect it to happen in their lifetime, like every other generation of old idiots. And they’re all 70+ and if the rapture comes they don’t technically die, they get called up to heaven.
Like, it’s not even on a conscious level, this is their last ticket to avoid facing their inevitable personal deaths, and if millions of us die and the planet gets nuked, well, that’s Armageddon.
Instead of hitting the brakes like world leaders in their 40s with a life ahead of them, they’re all gonna Laverne and Shirley us off a cliff.
