Crazy End Days (as in 'Nuts')

 

Following the embarrassing prayer-meeting with twenty or so preachers clutching Donald Trump in the Oval Office (while decrying a possibly similar scene in Teheran), we read of the, ah, ‘End Days’. 

‘How The War In Iran Is Setting The Stage For A Future Prophetic Battle’ says Harbinger’s Daily (‘World News Biblically Understood’) here. The question is – how seriously do the Americans take ‘the Rapture’, the End Times’ and The Book of Revelations?   

The Guardian reminds us of billionaire Peter Thiel and his lectures on ‘the antichrist’ here.  

The Independent has: How the Iran war is underpinned by ‘end times’ religious fervour in Washington and Teheran. An overlapping belief in end times, or the second coming, underpins much of the motivation in the corridors of power in Washington and in the bunkers where the ayatollahs hide today…’

See, it’s hard to fight crazy.
