The Russian authorities are increasingly talking about the end of the world. And not only as a technical consequence of the launch of the Satan rocket, but also in the original religious sense. So the commander of the troops in Ukraine, bastard general Surovikin, bears the proud nickname of Armageddon.
But do those who call it that really understand the difference between the Apocalypse and Armageddon (and there is one)?
And why is Patriarch Kirill personally so afraid of the second coming of Christ, if we go to heaven and they die?
Preparing for the end of the world scientifically – from the point of view of theology! And for Vladimir Vladimirovich we have bad news.
“… The fact is that the Christian interpreters of the Holy Scriptures, unlike the first persons of our state, for some reason did not think that the fate of the universe would indeed one day be decided on the battlefields with Satan by force of arms: they usually talked about the spiritual victory of the righteous ( and even that their spiritual victory will be their martyrdom at the hands of the forces of the persecutors). Sometimes the words about the coming battle are explained in such a way that the earthly kings under the rule of the Antichrist in madness will begin to exterminate each other, and only a few Christians will refrain from this outrage and recognize Christ, who will come into the world again. Whatever one may say, it turns out that the “kings of the earth” planning to fight have some dubious role: they either plan to fight among themselves, or they are going to fight with God in general. (Notice, by the way, that Revelation does not say anything about the wise king, who managed to deliver a preemptive strike against the forces of Antichrist.)
