to take place in the time of the coming of the Messiah (pbuh). They say
that there will be a time of disaster lasting seven years, that during the

war in question - which is expected to take place in the near future -
three-quarters of the Jews and all Muslims will be slaughtered, that Is-
rael and part of the Middle East will be totally devastated, and that all
these things are portents of the coming of Jesus (pbuh).
According to these terrifying scenarios, as long as the Jews cannot
win the war against Muslims known as Armageddon, Jesus will not
return to Earth. For that reason, some Christians regard it as essential
for there to be a major war - and for that war to be won by the Jews -
in order for Jesus to return to Earth. Then when the war is over, all
Jews apart from 144,000 who believe in Jesus are expected to be killed.
They believe that as a result of these bloody wars, all Muslims and al-
most all Jews will be annihilated, and that only those Christians loyal
to Jesus and those 144,000 elect Jews will be saved.
The Evangelical Christians in question completely misinterpret
the battle of Armageddon that the Gospel foretells will take place in
the End Times and describes in some detail. In their view, turmoil
needs to be created in the same region in order for this great future
war to happen, for the shaping of the Middle East and in order to ac-

celerate the coming of this war and therefore of Jesus. They maintain
that the constant bloodshed in the Middle East, brother fighting broth-
er and unending tension are all essential for the coming of Jesus. They
are making preparations for a savagery in the End Times in which
blood will flow in rivers, that will involve the Southeast of Turkey,
Iraq and Syria and extending as far as the Middle East and in which,
according to their belief, Muslims and most Jews will be annihilated.
For a great many Evangelical Christians, this expectation of bloodshed
has become an indispensable aim and an objective that grows stronger
by the day. That is because, under their superstitious belief, the region
needs to be drowned in blood as a matter of urgency and Armageddon
needs to take place if Jesus is to appear.
