Showing Original Post only (View all)U.S. Troops Were Told Iran War Is for "Armageddon," Return of Jesus [View all]
A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of Gods plan and that Pres. Donald Trump was anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth, according to a complaint by a non-commissioned officer.
From Saturday morning through Monday night, more than 110 similar complaints about commanders in every branch of the military had been logged by the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF).
The complaints came from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations, the MRFF told me Monday night.
***
The NCO wrote to the MRFF that their commander urged us to tell our troops that this was all part of Gods divine plan and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.

It takes absolutely monstrous arrogance to believe that your military actions influence God.
