This is NOT a reputable or impartial news website. It is a voice for fundamentalist evangelicals who believe in the "end of days", which may come sooner than we think given that we have a President of the USA who has just enacted a piece of legislation, which all sane Presidents before him refused to, in recognising Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. I've been to Jeusalem & the West & East Banks - This is not the way to peace.
The thing is, people accept the initial message. Who would not pray for peace in Jerusalem or any of the many other trouble spots in the world? But, are we daft enough to believe that the only way to save the world is to allow Armageddon? Do we really think that only those who do believe will be saved? No.
But this lunatic fringe is very wealthy & powerful, particularly in the States. They are also very tech & communications savvy. So their pernicious message gets through in insidious ways. They utilise modern media to reach their tentacles all over the world & there are people who accept what they say at face value. Particularly in countries who have populations who are less well educated than we are in the developed world.
This may just become a self fulfilling prophecy. It's certainly a part of many world religions, Abrahamic & Non Abrahamic. The lunatics are (almost) in charge of the asylum! We are certainly in a period of "tribulation", which may be necessary before we can have a rebirth of a new, more sane, world order.

I just hope rational thought & sanity will prevail - for my Grandchildrens sake. Hopefully I won't be here - I will have discovered whether there is life after death.
