The world seems to have breathed a sigh of relief as America and Iran have pulled back from the brink of war. On Wednesday morning, President Donald Trump gave another rambling, slurred speech where he talked about making peace with the country who he recently threatened to attack.

However, fundamentalist Christians, who are among Trump’s staunchest supporters, seem to be encouraging Trump’s warmongering. Many of them, such as Sec. of State Mike Pompeo, believe these are the End of Days and Trump will lead us into an apocalyptic war with Islam.

“Both Mike Pompeo and Mike Pence who have pushed Trump towards aggressive action towards Iran believe that there is a battle between good and evil that will end with ‘the Rapture’. A key belief of the evangelical Christian extremists is the establishment of a ‘greater Israel’ before the end of days,” according to the British website Church and State.

According to spiritual shyster and Trump advisor Paula White, Trump will have a role in the final battle.

“God came to me last night and showed me a vision of Trump riding alongside Jesus on a horse made of gold and jewels,” said White in Charisma, a fundie publication. “This means he will play a critical role in Armageddon as the United States stands alongside Israel in the battle against Islam.”

But even more scary, these kinds of delusional fantasies are widespread on the far- right.

Former televangelist Jim Bakker is also a staunch Trump fan and believes he will save Israel.

“He (Trump) keeps signing things to protect the church, and he’s helped Israel, and recognized Israel. He’s fulfilling (the) Bible, whether you like it or not.” said Bakker on his YouTube show.

Bakker also claimed that only saved people can love Trump.

Meanwhile Rob O’Neill, a former NAVY SEAL who fired the shot that killed Osama Bin Laden, suggested that we drop a nuclear bomb on Iran.
