And American Christian/Nationalist evangelicals do not give one single fuck because their death cult demands that Israel be where its is and be doing what it is doing to bring about the return of Jesus so the righteous can rise into heavens and God’s kingdom on Earth reign for 1000 years or some bullshit to that effect. But never mind that in the Bible it clearly states that this can not be forced and will only happen on God’s time schedule.
I have tried all my life. When you point out how it is morally wrong or that their position is against the teachings of the very Bible they claim as infallible they either look at you like you are alien or they drag their illiterate preacher over to you to help bring you back to God’s path. I was raised Southern Baptist.
I think that like in typical sect, early Christians believed the end of times is a matter of years. They were basically told “join our sect because the world is about to end and this is the only way to be saved”. The message was that world will end before last of the disciples dies. Then it changed into “before everyone who was alive when Christ lived will die” which was more vague so the timeline wasn’t as clear. Then it changed into “no one really knows when it will happen”. Modern sects use the exact same trick.
As I said, they keep using the same trick. “Now the world is REALLY about to end. Quick! Join my sect!”. Jehovah’s Witnesses predicted the end of times multiple times. They claimed that only 144,000 people can go to heaven because at the beginning it looked like a number of members they will never achieve. Once they had 144,000 they had to invent some other story about second class in heaven with more places or something.

They’d have to read the book they worship to know that.
Scripture never stopped American Christians before and it won’t start now!
Has someone tried telling them they’re not righteous?

Jesus told His apostles that they would be alive to see His triumphant return.
They all died, confused and bewildered.
(or perhaps they are still walking the earth to this very day, revenant Highlander apostles are always a possibility)
Meanwhile grifters have been predicting the exact date and time (and making money off those predictions) for centuries.

They’re one of so many who pull the same scam.

They claimed 144,000 because that’s the number of “true believers” described in the Bible in Revelation who are rewarded with Heaven.
