And it's not just an American vibe. During recent conflicts, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has drawn on biblical language—including references to "Amalek"—in ways widely reported and debated in international media. When modern geopolitics starts sounding like ancient scripture, you know the prophecy engines are really starting to hum.

It adds a certain je ne sais quoi to a press briefing.

Of course, critics—like Mikey Weinstein—argue that mixing religious certainty with military power risks undermining cohesion in a pluralistic force. He and others have warned, in multiple interviews and filings, that framing conflict in theological terms can escalate tensions rather than resolve them.

But perhaps they're missing the bigger picture.

They're focused on the rivers of blood, when they should be focused on the prophesied river of life, clear as crystal.

So let's keep the briefings coming. Let's keep the narratives aligned. Because according to a well-worn paperback copy of Left Behind and a surprisingly persuasive county fair pamphlet, this is how we get to the good part.

I, for one, am excited to finally meet that lion who wants to be best friends with a lamb.

I just hope he's not a pre-wrath kind of lion.

That would really ruin the vibe.
