Since the dawn of humankind there have been wars and rumors of wars. We’re all familiar with the Holocaust that took the lives of six million Jews, and the Cambodia Killing Fields, but genocides continue to take place with alarming and sickening regularity. In the late 1990’s genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina led to the death of over 200,000 Muslim civilians. In 1994 groups of ethnic Hutu, armed mostly with machetes, butchered an estimated 800.000 persons of other ethnic minorities. Since 2003 the genocide raging in the Darfur region of Sudan has killed an estimated 800,000 people and more than 2.5 million have been displaced from their homes.
Evangelicals have been unmoved by the genocides of the modern era, as long as it’s Africans and Muslims being exterminated, they don’t seem to care.
But when it’s white Europeans being exterminated, and they see the devastation and destruction of a modern European country on their TVs every day, all of a sudden, they are in terror, warning us heathen that the Apocalypse is right around the corner.
Evangelicals have long believed that Russia has a special role to play in the End Times, and they are convinced that the Russian invasion of Ukraine is a prelude to the final battle of Armageddon when Russia faces off against Israel, America and the European countries. Never mind that in reality Russia enjoys a good relationship with Israel.
Racist white evangelicals need to chill the fuck out. Every war is not a fulfillment of Biblical prophecy, and the Russian invasion of Ukraine is just another bloody chapter in human history.
