Armageddon (Not the Movie)



The Grand Inquisitor, Tomas de Torquemada


The eBible Fellowship predicted the world would end with the Final Judgement on October 7, 2015 Turns out they weren't far off, considering that Hamas unleashed their attack on Israel 8 years later. Donald Trump is The Anti-Christ whose technique is gaslighting. As he threatens election workers, he paints himself as the defender of democracy. One of the platforms of his ticket is retribution against all his enemies. The screams of the Grand Inquisitor, Tomas de Torquemada's victims are woven into historical memory. What tortures will Trump inflict on his opponents? Nancy Pelosi's husband had his head bashed in. Will Biden be hung by the same mob from which Mike Pence was barely spared? ISIS is the paradigm of millenarian revolt which has spread throughout the Middle East. Liberation through Armageddon. Let the world go up in flames so that Zionists and other infidels may die. Iran is a different kettle of fish (or sharks). It lobs missives at Israel after Hezbollah, its terrorist proxy, is shuttered. So what is there to look forward to? Israel destroys Iran's oil fields which allows fuel prices to skyrocket in turn allowing Bibi Netanyahu to put his Trumpian Anti-Christ back in power. The new axis is Russia, China and North Korea who all go to war with NATO over Israeli and the Ukraine. This result is pretty close to a Brueghel or Bosch imagination of the end of the world.
