They want the earth to die. It's literally prophesied in their Scriptures, that the sign that their Rapture is imminent include famine, death, war, and conquest. Their explicit goal is to bring about the Second Coming, wherein so many people will be killed, their blood fills up the Armageddon up to the shoulder of a warhorse. The old heaven and old earth, our earth, will very destroyed, so that paradise can come for God's Chosen.
Not exactly? I mean you are correct to name these, but I've not seen them wanting it to come faster.
I mean, some of them call out things they don't like as sings of coming end, and they are pretty angry about it. Vaxxing being a mark of the beast is my favorite. If they were accelerating the come of their end from the scripture, they could've behaved like they are on Woodstock, not in American Gothic. Only doomsday sects who isolate themselves and wait for the end are really into that. Others are too occupied with their lives and earthly posessions, but do use the book when it comes handy, especially for explaining what they are up to, or what happened without their control.
Bro I lived in the south, they can't fucking wait for the rapture down there.
Of course if I had to live in Tuscaloosa I would also welcome the sweet bosom of the grave.
The claim is true for many. If you get salvation when the end comes, and you hate people who are different from you, sooner is better.
Of course this is absurd but many believe it to some degree.
If you put a gun in their hand, would they end themselves? Or shoot random people they hate? I don't think they are that end-timey and believe in afterlife.
