The desire to see all non-freakshow nutcase fake christians wiped off the face of the earth IS THE ENTIRE POINT of the Armageddonists. Granted, some of them are weirder and more violent than others but they are all in the mindset of: Me - holy and wonderful Everyone else - damned Same book, slightly different cover. Really. --------- "...However, the plot is ripped from the pages of the Bible, so it all winds up here in Israel where, according to the Book of Revelations, the final battle in the history of the future will be fought on an ancient battlefield in northern Israel called Armageddon. It will follow seven years of tribulation during which the earth will be shaken by such disasters that previous human history will seem like a day in the country. The blood will rise as high as a horse’s bridle at Armageddon, before Christ triumphs to begin his 1,000-year rule. And the Jews? Well, two-thirds of them will have been wiped out by now. But the survivors will accept Jesus at last. “The Jews die or convert. As a Jew, I can’t feel very comfortable with the affections of somebody who looks forward to that scenario,” says Gershom Gorenberg, who knows that scenario well. Gorenberg is the author of the “End of Days,” a book about those Christian evangelicals who choose to read the Bible literally. “They don’t love real Jewish people. They love us as characters in their story, in their play, and that’s not who we are, and we never auditioned for that part, and the play is not one that ends up good for us.” “If you listen to the drama they’re describing, essentially it’s a five-act play in which the Jews disappear in the fourth act.”... cbsnews.com
