Combat Unit commanders have been accused of telling troops that Donald Trump is anointed by God and the war with Iran is to bring in Armageddon

Well, it’s official, we’ve arrived in Crazy Town, and it’s exactly as you would expect it to be. Operation Epic Fury is revealing itself to be a hastily-arranged and very poorly planned operation that Trump now says could last for many months. And earlier today a religious watchdog group received over 200 complaints from soldiers being told by their Combat Unit commanders that President Trump has been ‘anointed to light the fire in Iran that will bring Armageddon and the return of Jesus Christ’. Wow, are we there already? It would seem so, Now don’t shoot the messenger, I don’t make the news, I’m just telling you what’s going on here on Day 2,178 of 15 Days To Flatten The Curve. It’s Christian Nationalism out of control.

“Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain.” Daniel 11:39 (KJB)

If even a fraction of these reports are accurate that commanders inside the Department of War are framing geopolitical conflict as the spark that lights Armageddon and preparing troops for the return of Jesus Christ — then we are looking at something profoundly dangerous. Not because prophecy isn’t real, and not because Jesus Christ isn’t coming back. He absolutely is. But because the Church has no business trying to manufacture the Second Coming through military power. Let’s be absolutely clear: the return of Jesus Christ is not triggered by American foreign policy, presidential ambition, or battlefield rhetoric. The prophetic timeline is set by God Almighty, not by generals, politicians, or Christian Nationalist enthusiasm. Armageddon is not something a nation prepares for. It is something God executes on His schedule.

“Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.” Isaiah 40:15 (KJB)

Christian Nationalism, at its core, attempts to merge the mission of the Church with the power of the State. It confuses patriotism with piety and assumes that America plays the central prophetic role in God’s end-times program. It does not. America joins all the other nations of the world to come against Israel. America is not Israel, the United States is not the New Jerusalem, and the United States Constitution, however wonderful we might think it to be, is not Scripture. If Donald Trump has been anointed by God to do anything, at this point, it looks like he might be the one to trigger WWIII.

Trump’s commanders tell troops to prepare for Jesus’ return and issue chilling Armageddon prophecy

FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF), a non-profit civil rights watchdog, said it has received 110 complaints from troops since the war broke out on Saturday. The complaints span more than 40 different units across 30 military sites, first reported on veteran journalist Jonathan Larsen’s Substack. A non-commissioned officer (NCO) wrote to the MRFF Monday that his combat-unit commander had claimed Trump was ‘anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.’

‘He urged us to tell our troops that this was “all part of God’s divine plan” and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ,’ the NCO said.

The NCO, anonymized by MRFF, said they were writing on behalf of 15 others, including 11 Christians, a Muslim and a Jew. The troops are currently outside the Iran theater but on ‘ready-support’ status, meaning they could be deployed at any time. The NCO said that their commander’s comments ‘destroy morale and unit cohesion and are in violation of the oaths we swore to support the Constitution.’

A White House official denied that commanders were giving orders based on end times scripture, adding that the war had three aims: destroy Iran’s missiles, munitions industry and navy. The Pentagon did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The religious tenor at the top of the military is not confined to the battlefield.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, a born-again Christian, holds monthly prayer meetings at the Pentagon and attends a weekly Bible study at the White House led by a preacher who argues that God blesses those who support Israel. Trump’s longtime spiritual adviser, Paula White, has made similar claims for decades, urging Christians to ‘stand with Israel’.

Pastor John Hagee, who visited the White House multiple times during Trump’s first term, told his congregation on Sunday that the war with Iran signaled we are nearing the end times. ‘Prophetically, we’re right on cue,’ Hagee said. ‘Sirens are wailing and prophecies written thousands of years ago are stepping onto the world stage.’

US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee claimed that Trump would receive a message from God shortly before the strikes on Iran in June.

‘I believe you will hear from heaven and that voice is far more important than mine or anyone else’s,’ he wrote to Trump. ‘You did not seek this moment. This moment sought you.’

The killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in a US-Israeli joint strike on Saturday has plunged the Middle East into crisis. Iranian forces have launched missiles and drones at US embassies and bases across the Middle East, as well as against Israel and America’s Arab allies including Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Trump initially said the war would last four to five weeks but has since warned it could go on ‘far longer.’ READ MORE

MAGA Christian Nationalists Are Cheering As President Donald Trump Floats Absorbing Canada And Greenland Into A ‘Greater America’ dystopia

On social media this week, self-described MAGA Christian nationalists erupted in applause after Donald Trump once again floated the idea of bringing Greenland—and now even Canada—under the control of the United States. What once sounded like typical Trump negotiating bravado has begun to harden into something more ideological, and we dare say, more sinister: the vision of a ‘Greater America’. You’re hearing it here for the first time, but I promise you, it will soon be coming from official White House messaging. It was a bad idea when Hitler tried it, and it’s an even worse idea now.

“Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.” Psalm 146:3 (KJB)

History is littered with grand national visions that promised security, restoration, and destiny through expansion. In the 20th century, Europe watched a similar dream unfold under the banner of a ‘Greater Germany’, complete with mythic language, strongman leadership, and the promise of national revival with global results. It did not end well. Yet online today, Trump’s rhetoric is not being met with caution, but celebration. How can this be, have we learned nothing from the past 100 years of human history? Evidentially not.

To his most ardent supporters, Trump is not merely a former president pushing boundaries. He is portrayed as a providential strongman—a Cyrus-like figure—who will restore American dominance, redraw borders, and impose order on a crumbling world. But Scripture issues a direct warning against placing hope in political saviors. Nevertheless, the louder the rhetoric becomes, the louder the applause grows. Canada is dismissed as ‘weak and unserious’. Greenland is spoken of as a ‘strategic prize’ waiting to be claimed. Critics are brushed aside as globalists, traitors, or faithless cowards. What is absent from the discussion is any appreciable amount of biblical discernment.

Just in case you weren’t exactly sure where world wars come from, this is as good a place as any. https://t.co/sZyakxeDis

The Bible does not teach that America is a covenant nation. Nor does it authorize Christians in the Church Age to pursue national expansion as though it were God’s work. That calling belonged exclusively to Old Testament Israel under a theocratic covenant—not to the body of Christ. The 7 Mountains Mandate has nothing common with Pauline doctrine. Zero. In fact, we warned you back in 2024 before Trump’s re-election that the majority of his MAGA followers were Charismatic Christian Nationalists, but sadly, very few listened.

“For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:” Philippians 3:20 (KJB)

The language surrounding this moment is becoming increasingly messianic, with political ambition framed as destiny. Territorial growth is spoken of as righteousness. Power itself is treated as proof of divine favor—despite the explicit rejection of that very mindset in scripture.

“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.” John 18:36 (KJB)

The danger is not merely political enthusiasm—it is political idolatry. Scripture warns that as the end of the Church Age approaches, men will prefer fables over truth and charisma over doctrine.

“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3–4 (KJB)

A ‘Greater America’ may sound bold, reassuring, even patriotic. But the Bible reminds believers that our battle is not fought with borders, ballots, or brute force.

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12 (KJB)

Supporting a political candidate is one thing. Recasting him as a divinely appointed architect of national expansion is something else entirely. When Christians cheer the absorption of nations as though it were God’s redemptive plan, they have confused nationalism with Christianity—and power with providence.

America does not need to become greater in size. The Church does not need a strongman. And Jesus Christ does not need a human geopolitical empire to reign.

“No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.” 2 Timothy 2:4 (KJB)

Even at this late hour, history whispers warnings for those willing to listen. Grand visions of national destiny have a way of demanding unquestioned loyalty, silencing dissent, and baptizing ambition in religious language. If you support Trump’s ‘Greater America’ just remember that history is against you every bit as much as the Bible is against you. The Bible calls believers to something a lot higher, something eternal. The answer has never been a Greater America. It has always been the gospel of Jesus Christ—rightly divided, faithfully preached, and boldly believed until He comes, and He’ll be here sooner than you think.

Wake up, pastors, Turning Point USA is now a recruitment arm of the Roman Catholic Church, and they’re coming looking for sheep, your sheep

First and foremost, this article is aimed at pastors of Bible believing churches all across America, with an urgent message you would do well to heed. Do not allow Turning Point USA entrance into your churches, for any reason at any time. Three and a half months after the death of Charlie Kirk, TPUSA has completely flipped itself around to act as the recruiting arm of the Roman Catholic Church. They are looking for sheep, don’t let them take yours.

“Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.” Acts 20:30,31 (KJB)

I never spent much time watching Charlie Kirk when he visited various college campuses, but tuning in from time to time, I noticed two things. One, he was a fiery Christian Nationalist and a ‘true believer’ in the 7 Mountains Mandate of the New Apostolic Reformation. Second, when he spoke about salvation in Jesus Christ, for the most part I agreed with what he said and I believe he was a saved man. But while he lived, Charlie had many, many people pulling him in a variety of different directions, all subtly angling for a ‘piece of the pie’ that is the $100+ million empire known as Turning Point USA. Not only is it fabulously wealthy, TPUSA holds tremendous sway and influence in the most coveted 18-35 age demographic. Anyone who could wrest control of TPUSA out of Charlies hands would have incredible riches and powers of persuasion in the palm of their hands. I believe that someone killed Charlie for that exact reason, and no, I am not talking about Tyler James Robinson. But that’s a story, and most likely a Podcast, for another day.

So now Charlie Kirk is dead, and the jackals are fighting each other to the death for his empire, and what we see bubbling up in the aftermath is not only disturbing, it is terrifying. After watching the Memorial Service that was held back in September, and AmFest that was held last week, one thing stands out above all the noise. TPUSA has gone from being a nominal Christian organization to a loud, out and proud Roman Catholic one. If there was any doubt in your mind, it’s taken away each and every time TPUSA executive Jack Posobiec raises the Rosary over ten of thousands of their followers, and claims them for the Vatican. If you ever read Foxes Book of Martyrs or the Alberto comic book series, then you know exactly what that all means.

Watch Jack Posobiec claim followers for Rome

Flashing lights designed to distract your attention, piercing shards of sound sent to deaden your hearing, and above it all the Roman Catholic Rosary lifted up high, an unspoken command for all to bow to Rome. If you have any spiritual discernment, this is what you see. 

Catholics who “pray the Rosary” are practicing occultism from ancient Babylon. Not one person in the Bible prayed the Rosary, not one person prayed to Mary. What you are seeing in this video is the Revived Roman Empire, the iron mixed with miry clay from Daniel 2. pic.twitter.com/D56CLPBbxw

— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) December 25, 2025

Erika Kirk remarked multiple times during AmFest 2025 that TPUSA is now embedded in over 8,000 American churches, churches that have agreed to bring the TPUSA brand of “Christianity” into their congregations, something that I am telling you here and now is fervent Roman Catholicism. Fox News reports “We have 8,000 churches in our network at TPUSA Faith. We’ve seen almost 1,000% growth across all social media platforms. And get this. We’ve had over 200,000 people sign up to become a part of TPUSA Faith.” What is TPUSA Faith? It’s the Roman Catholic Church wearing Laodicean Christian clothing. Pastors, listen to me now, bar the doors and don’t let them in. If they’re already there, kick them out.

EVERY PIN ON THIS MAP REPRESENTS A CHURCH WHERE TURNING POINT USA FAITH HAS BEEN EMBEDDED, IS YOUR CHURCH LISTED HERE?

Are there saved Christians in the Roman Catholic Church? I am quite sure there are. But Roman Catholicism is not Christian, does not teach Bible doctrine, and the vast majority of “good Catholics” die and go to Hell because they die unsaved. I was a born into the Roman Catholic church, baptized as a baby, confirmed in the 5th grade, made an altar boy for 3 years, and then spent 4 years under heavy Franciscan and Jesuit indoctrination before getting saved on my 30th birthday. This is not an “anti-Catholic” article, this is a warning to pastors all across America to reject the wolf-in-sheep’s-clothing that is, now, Turning Point USA. Wake up, the wolf is at the door and he’s taking your sheep.
