The Intercept: Trump Advisors See Iran War as "End Times Prophesy"

I wonder how many of the pro war brigade on this board are Evangelical Christians who feel similarly?
Me own mum is one. Pete Hegseth is one. Paula White is one. Sharon Bolan is one. MIke Huckabee is one. Ted Cruz purports to be one (although his play is likely cynical).
Trump advisors see Iran War as pages from Revelation

Trump advisors see Iran War as pages from Revelation
quote:
By making Iran into a religious crusade, Trump’s spiritual advisers are making the war that much more difficult to end.
Since the Trump regime launched its war on Iran, his administration has gotten a lot more biblical.
Trump has surrounded himself with a constellation of evangelical advisers who not only support his policies but also frame them as divinely sanctioned. Their specific strand of evangelical theology interprets global conflict, especially in the Middle East, as a precursor to the end times. For Trump, this alignment may well be transactional, another way to energize and consolidate a critical voting bloc. But for many of the religious figures now orbiting him, the stakes are far more cosmic: The war is not simply geopolitical; it is eschatological.
And it’s already bleeding influence into America’s war machine. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has overseen a steady infusion of Christian symbolism and practice into military life — hosting prayer gatherings, elevating hard-line evangelical figures, and pushing a more overtly religious tone across the force.
Reporting shows his tenure has included efforts to reshape the chaplain corps and integrate his Christian worldview more directly into military culture. The aesthetic is not subtle: Hegseth has embraced Crusader iconography — he has tattoos of the Jerusalem cross and the phrase “Deus vult,” which means “God wills it” — while framing America’s conflicts in civilizational and religious terms. In a prayer given last week at the Pentagon, Hegseth asked God to aid in pouring down “overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy.”
Even some on the right have begun to voice their unease. One conservative commentator, reacting to the growing influence, bluntly described Trump’s leading faith adviser Paula White-Cain as a “psychopathic doomsday cultist,” warning about the theological currents shaping the administration.

That is just the 12er Theology with administration names.

“Religious crusade?” …… where do you come up with such a numbskull take?

Dispensationalism is rampant with evangelicals. The OP isn't the first to point this shite out.

I'm a Christian and I personally don't see the current conflict in Iran as end times prophecy but I know some Christians who are leaning that way. All I know is my Lord and Savior said no person knows the time of His return but the Father.

Fear mongering wish casting hit piece on Christianity is all that was.
Zero actual evidence. Zero journalism detected. Nothing more than a long form green hair, septum ring jerk session.

I still hear it weekly from my mom.
She thinks we are living in the last days and that Trump is "King Cyrus". She has many fellow upper middle class friends who meet weekly in NW Arkansas for breakfast and who are all on a gigantic text chain.
They all believe Q as well.

It's not just the Trump Administration. Many religious Jews want to rebuilt the Third Temple and they can't do that without regional war.
Ukrainian Jewish Leader: Carlson is correct, it's time to rebuild the Temple.

I mean they can't even get his title correct.
I look forward to their commentary of Trump's impact on the future of the North American Treaty Organization.

Insane people.

Anyone basing policy on Revelation (or any religious text) should be disqualified from ever holding political office.
Can’t believe this country has so many chuckleheads in it that this even has to be said.
