A combat-unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday that the Iran war is part of God’s 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.

Revelations was written after Jesus’s death. John of Patmos was not an apostle. Both Nero and Domitan (latter most likely epoch/context of Revelations) were widely hated and flawed, and meant as a call to rise up and overthrow these dictators. The Romans exiling him to Patmos, specifically did so because it seemed an imminent threat to them rather than a 2000+ years later threat.
Yes, the romans (from the known documentation survived from the period) saw these movements and uprisings as political-administrative threats. It is know that, of the roman representatives cited in the bible, these actions aren’t cited in the documentation. We also know that romans had a thing foto writings and documents for such procedures. They used to be a violent bureaucratic centralised power. The archeological evidences seem to prove that the gospels were written with many real places in mind, but the key details are interpretative or missing. 2000 years might be a lot in terms of human lives, but archelogical evidences work on a different time frame, and 2000 years isn’t enough to undo so many evidences. With that in mind, i don’t think any of that can be proven so rigidly if you understand what i mean.
