I don't know, but maybe the 2nd coming will also happen at a Planned Parenthood?

I don't think the GOP would fall for it, but then again, I'm sure they'll be the first ones to re-nail Jesus to the cross if he ever shows up again.

(9,867 posts)2. The Devangelicals believe that Israel is the site of the anticipated Armageddon, not Ukraine. (they might be surprised?)

There you go. Jesus will torch both sides, neither being Christian, nor sufficiently white.
But evangelicals support isnt simply driven by a theology that compels them to love the Holy Land, detached from its convulsive domestic and global political implications. For many Christians Zionists, and particularly for popular evangelists with significant clout within the Republican Party, their support for Israel is rooted in its role in the supposed end times: Jesus return to Earth, a bloody final battle at Armageddon, and Jesus ruling the world from the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. In this scenario, war is not something to be avoided, but something inevitable, desired by God, and celebratory.
What happens to the Jews and Palestinians is, to put it very mildly, collateral damage. Christian Zionists are anticipating, and hoping for a war to end all wars, and a resulting Christian world that they claim will vanquish evil and bring peace. Only those who accept Jesus as their savior will benefit from these events that Christian Zionists claim the Bible predicts will happen. Nonbelievers including Jews and Muslims will not survive them.
