    Praying for Armageddon: Evangelicals, the US and the Middle East
    Episode 1 of a doomsday political thriller about evangelical Christian influence on US foreign policy in the Middle East.
    The first episode of Praying for Armageddon goes inside the evangelical Christian movement to explore its influence on US democracy and foreign policy.

    Preparing for the “end times”, a grassroots pastor gathers an army of veterans in the heartland of the United States, and megachurch ministers provide spiritual advice to politicians in the nation’s capital.

    They call for the “final battle” which they believe will trigger the second coming of Christ. Central to their apocalyptic prophecy is Israel. It is with their blessing that the Trump administration controversially recognises Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moves the US embassy there in 2018.

    “It feels like everyone has a say about the destiny and the future of Jerusalem except for the Palestinians living in it,” says Palestinian activist Fayrouz Sharqawi.

    Praying for Armageddon is a documentary film by Tonje Hessen Schei.

    Evangelicals are a scourge on the USA from a political perspective.

    How many extra clips does he keep in his robes?

    You would think that Jesus would be ready? Right?

    God is in control of EVERYTHING and everything Goes according to God's plan. Praying to God for war is antithetical to Christianity and God is not swayed by such foolishness.

    They had "a say" and they used it to align with Hitler and then to wage unending war against Jews. Losing wars has consequences. Cry me a river.

    Judgement comes immediately upon death. The ungodly will have to give an account for their choices. I'm glad I'm not Joe Biden.

    Hebrews 9:27
    And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment.

    Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate.

    Hebrews 10:26
    For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins,

    It's not even just about the Middle East, these people are screwing everyday Americans and Christians over all the time.

    Poor socio-economic conditions are the best environment for terroristic groups to form and you best believe that if the US ever deteriorated that these are the people who would become your Hamas or Haganah. It's clear as day.

    Imagine being this guy and being delusional enough to believe he is Godly.

    I might not be perfect by a long shot but I’ll die happy enough knowing I’m not a delusional hateful bigoted self righteous hypocrite like this jackass.

    Evangelicals love the country (Israel) but hate the people (Jews).

    The Evangelicals need Israel around and thriving for their end time prophesies ... they just prefer if the people (Jews) got the hell out of our country and went back to their country (Israel).

    Yes - of course. God created Hitler to murder 6 million Jews, including 4 million women, children and elderly.

    AIDS and cancer is also God’s will and his desire - because he enjoys humans suffering. He also enjoys racism and pollution.

    God is also a male - and he created vastly different religions to confuse people and cause more suffering.

    So either God is horrendous and does not follow any rules of morality - or God is an absentee landlord that has grown bored with his creation.

    The divorce rate in the United States is around 50%. There are only 2 reasons for divorce in the Bible. Sexual immortality and abandonment by a NON-Believer. Millions of Christians get divorced and remarried for unbiblical reasons. According to this scripture their sin is not forgiven as they live in unrepentant sin daily. Yet they go on ingonoring it and even churches marry these people. So I guess they are going to burn in Hell along with the gays who believe and ask Christ to be their Savior. Keep on justifying...
