This is blasphemy that is almost identical to the vicious tyranny of the medieval narcissistic rulers.

The Bible says that no one knows when. These religious freaks and fanatics think they know because they think they can force God's hand simply by saying that their war is Armageddon.

And re: your subject line: They not only think they have the RIGHT to order God around. They think they have the POWER to order God around.

According to Scripture, when Christ comes again, he does so in Israel. That is why these Evangelicals support Israel. They need for it to exist for Christ’s return when they will be raptured while all the Jews die.

Why do the killers not just kill themselves and go to Jesus? Why do they need to kill all the rest of us first?

And nobody else.

Look, it's clear you have something against either the MRFF or Jonathan Larsen - who knows why. A story is broken by a journalist on Monday night, and you're immediately over any thread mentioning it, trying to pretend the journalist is just "a blogger" or "some guy". You didn't check him out yourself - fine, not everyone has time. But you obviously do have the time, but you've chosen to spend it trying to downplay this story.

Why?

That’s my beef, nothing personal against Larsen or his alleged source.

I’m guessing the MRFF is getting flooded by media requests for interviews, and if they can provide corroborated evidence, then I would expect the story to spread. If it can be verified, then I hope it does.

But in this age of AI, clickbait and misinformation, it is critical that we take a breath and use critical thinking before accepting something as true and factual.

I’m sure you have seen false reports spread like wildfire here on DU. I remember one report of the death of a celebrity or politician made it to the top of the Greatest Page, and then it was retracted as unconfirmed.

Other false reports, proven false by numerous DUers providing evidence to the OP, have nevertheless risen to the top of the Greatest Page without a retraction/deletion, misleading hundreds who rec’d the thread without seeing the evidence it was false.

There is nothing wrong with taking a breath when a single sourced report is breaking.

of the US military. Sure, "take a breath" - which means investigating the credentials of the source. It turns out it's a well-known journalist (MRFF calls him "veteran" ), with a trustworthy history of who he's worked for, and a history of working with MRFF. So it's not surprising he's first out of the blocks with a story of theirs.

And look, now it's Tuesday morning, MRFF's own write-up is on their own site: https://www.militaryreligiousfreedom.org/2026/03/mrff-inundated-with-complaints-of-gleeful-commanders-telling-troops-iran-war-is-part-of-gods-divine-plan-to-usher-in-the-return-of-jesus-christ/

and at their link, they link back to Larsen's substack article: https://myemail.constantcontact.com/MRFF-Inundated-with-Complaints-of-Gleeful-Commanders-Telling-Troops-Iran-War-is--Part-of-God-s-Divine-Plan--to-Usher-in-Return-o.html?soid=1101766362531&aid=3OTPFAZxIrI

At the time of my original post, only one blog was reporting it.

This story could be true. As a Jew, it is common knowledge the support from the Amercian religious right is due in some part due to a belief that the existence of Israel is essential for their belief in a second coming.
