9. RWReligionists have claimed for years that Saddam's WMD were buried in the plains north of Israel.

They say this with great conviction and claim the US military knows all about it, but the federal government won't tell as they are part of the plot. They claim the Founders were Luciferians and that all of our presidents are satanists or not human.

Some RWRs say Russia is a player in the Magog and Gog battle. They cite the size of the Chinese army which will join the whole world to destroy Israel.

Then the Second Coming will save Israel and all the true believers and throw all the non-believers in the lake of fire. Jesus will rule the world from Jerusalem and the temple sacrfices will begin. Everything will be like it was.

There are a few variations in this American theme, but that's where it was the last time I tuned in. Really can't stand it anymore. This is part of their End Times belief system.

Armageddon


Ruins atop Tel Megiddo.

The idea that a final Battle of Armageddon will be fought at Tel Megiddo has had a wide influence, especially in the US. According to Donald E. Wagner, Professor of Religion and Director of the Center for Middle Eastern Studies at North Park University, Ronald Reagan was an adherent of "Armageddon theology," and "seemed to blend his political analysis with his Armageddon theology quite naturally."[50]
