We fight, We win, Am Yisrael Chai
Yes the white christian death cult
no, no mental health problems there
End-times Christians are set on a timeline in which every Jewish person in the world (yes all of them) return to Jerusalem and we see the start of WWIII in which every country attacks Israel for some reason or whatever, and God takes every Christian and child to heaven to escape the next seven years of tribulation and horror. This is referred to often by right-winged evangelicals as the “rapture.” So to answer the question of why Jerusalem is so important to the religious right, many American Evangelicals ascribe to the idea that not only is this a herald of the promised end times, but that it puts America on the right side of the coming conflict.
The promise of a doomed world, an apocalyptic future in which they escape while their enemies remain behind to suffer, is a cruel vision more reminiscent of a doomsday cult than the typical image of a happy Sunday School bible lesson. Watching the religious right cheer a blundering political move that is certain to bring harm and bloodshed, I am reminded of their true motives. They don’t actually care about the people or state of Israel and certainly not those suffering in Palestine. If they actually cared about the plight of Jewish people they wouldn’t still be praising and defending the actions of literal nazis and anti-semites in their circles. Instead, they’re holding up their books of prophecy like a religious bingo card, eager to set the ball rolling on the apocalypse.
