REJOICE! The Missiles Are Flying, Which Definitely Means the Lions Are About to Lie Down With the Lambs (Any Day Now)

Okay folks, I don't know about you, but I'm feeling a surge of optimism I haven't experienced since the last time I saw a "Prophecy Fulfilled" checklist at a truck stop. You know the one—laminated, slightly sun-faded, featuring a red heifer and at least three exclamation marks.

If you've been doom-scrolling the news, you might think rising tensions involving the United States and Iran suggest the world is coming apart at the seams.

But you'd be wrong.

It's actually all coming together perfectly.

Finally—a conflict that makes sense.

I'm talking, of course, about documented concerns that religious ideology is, at times, bleeding into military culture. According to reporting on complaints filed with the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, some U.S. service members have raised alarms about proselytizing and apocalyptic rhetoric within parts of the armed forces. Coverage by outlets like Military.com and NPR has documented longstanding tensions over religion in the military, including claims that certain personnel frame global conflicts in theological terms.

Not official policy, of course. Just the kind of unofficial spiritual side quest you might stumble into between briefings.

And honestly? I'm here for it.

Forget the ever-shifting official rationales—nuclear concerns, deterrence strategy, regional stability, messaging, counter-messaging, and whatever it was last Tuesday. Who needs a coherent foreign policy when you have a coherent eschatology?

This is the clarity we've been waiting for.

Think about the peace that's coming. The Book of Isaiah promised a world where swords are beaten into plowshares. We're not there yet, obviously—we're still in the "beating the swords" phase, which is admittedly loud and involves a fair amount of collateral damage. But you can't make an omelet without breaking a few eggs, and you can't usher in the Millennium without at least a few "precision strikes."

MRFF Inundated with Complaints of Gleeful Commanders Telling Troops Iran War is “Part of God’s Divine Plan” to Usher in the Return of Jesus Christ

“This morning our commander opened up the combat readiness status briefing by urging us to not be “afraid” as to what is happening with our combat operations in Iran right now. He urged us to tell our troops that this was “all part of God’s divine plan” and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of

@i47i There is such a thing as being too cheeky, or taking a joke too far. I was seconds away from perma-blocking this account.

@wesdym

These times are extreme. These people are extremely extreme.

@i47i Solving serious problems requires serious people talking seriously. There's a time and a place for jokes, but I don't feel this is it.

@wesdym

Agreed, although they are seriously talking eschatology. (Extremely seriously.) That's sad and worthy of satire IMHO. Not funny, and not really a joke, rather mostly just sickening... so... #satire

@i47i So at what point does a 'religious freedom foundation' stop talking like punched-up teenagers and take this shit seriously?

You will absolutely not find anything like this at FFRF or similar groups. They're fucking grown-ups trying to solve serious problems. I don't know what MRFF thinks they're doing, but I'm having trouble distinguishing it from junior high schoolers who think they're undiscovered comic geniuses. It might be entertaining for like-minded people, but what's it solving?
