Are Evangelicals in USA govt at all levels trying to hasten the Rapture with chaotic, strife policies? How to combat this if true?

Yes evangelicals purposefully intend to fulfill prophecy

No. They're just misguided sheeple.

I see your point but I don't know...

There is no distinct line of what you accomplish consciously and subconsciously.

So, merely believing in the soon upcoming end of the world will make you act accordingly as if you anticipate it. ﾠ

However, I'd argue that, as some of their own followers ironically point out, the governments are ruled by secret societies who know that NONE of the mythologies are meant to be interpreted literally, so they themselves don't actually believe in traditional common religions.

What they're actually reaching for is the so called transhumanism, including the right wing politicians, like WTF do you think elon musk wants with brain implants, digital currencies, electric everything, extremely clear occult symbolism in his statements, etc.

In a country putting so much emphasis on freedom, I don't think of Evangelicalism as a real threat? As they'll have to face a lot of reluctance to conform? They'll also have to solve their inner conflict of values, between encouraging capitalism and spreading religious conservatism, those two universes have to blend poorly since capitalism relies on the least possible amount of rules, which is the opposite of religious goals.

That being said, USA is a curious, maybe even unique country since it can spawn philosophical frameworks intensively clashing together, yet coexisting in a manner I don't really comprehend lol

Great answer

This is the same group of people that tells preschoolers if they have a gun to their head and are told to denounce god or they’ll shoot, they should still say they’re christian. I wholeheartedly believe these people WANT a religious war just so they can play victim.

It may feel like people are are trying to hasten it, but the timeline has already been written. Nothing needs to be done about it. The prophecies are unfolding as God intended. We have no control over the end times except to have our house in order for when the time comes.

Plenty of preachers say different to their flock

[Ariesman81]

Anyone who claims to know when it will happen are lying. Only God knows. That's not to say preachers can't impose a sense of urgency into their followers in order to call them to action. Action should be taken on a daily basis regardless.

All I know is televangelists are scam artists who take all their believers’ money.

A lot of those scumbags and they get full tax exemptions that they use on yachts, private jets, luxury mansions, and more.

[DrPepper12]

Yup. They deserve getting fleeced. Darwin's rules, not mine...

[BCRanger10]

I'm sure they think so, but they'll be disappointed when it doesn't happen. The Rapture is a fictional event invented by some goofy preacher in the 19th Century. All they have to do is read a book called The Lamb's Supper by a man named Scott Hahn, who was once militantly opposed to the Catholic Church and later on, through a series of varying circumstances, as well as prayer and study, became Catholic and now teaches at the Franciscan University of Steubenville in Ohio.

There is something called NAR. Some of it has gotten into politics. It's a Christian Cult.
