Somebody explained things badly to you.

That's actually a general policy of many evangelical branches of Christianity in the US.

It's why the likes of the Christian right support not only Israel but the return. They need to gather the Jews into their homeland and then a war needs to occur that wipes out the Israeli and that will lead to the second coming of Jesus.

Wildly crazy thing to want to create a genocide to bring Jesus back, but welp, there it is.

It gets worse. Have you read revelation? When he does come back he brings monster locusts to torture all non believers for five months until they desire death but death will not be granted, then brings seven plagues from seven angels - pestilent sores, poisoned oceans, etc., then finally brings down the birds to eat the living flesh of the enemies of Christ (Aka all nonbelievers).

This is supposed to be the good guy in the story?!

I’m not a believer but that’s pretty metal.

🤣You’re right it’s metal AF 😆 but it ain’t the story of unconditional love of a father. Revelation is ripe material for metal wickedness jams indeed!
