The second episode of Praying for Armageddon examines the dangerous consequences of the fusion between evangelical Christians and US politics.
It shows not only how the very fabric of US democracy is weakened but also highlights the devastating impact religion wields on US foreign policy.
Expressing concerns about the influence of evangelical Christians in the US military, retired US Army Colonel Larry Wilkerson who was a former adviser to General Colin Powell, says: “The most vivid danger in all of this, I think, is the special relationship with Israel… They are looking for the US relationship with Israel, ultimately to bring about Armageddon and the rapture and Christ’s thousand-year reign.”
As evangelicals fuel the volatile situation in the Middle East, Israel launches a devastating 11-day military offensive on Gaza in May 2021.
“The countdown to Armageddon has begun,” says Pastor Robert Jeffress.
Praying for Armageddon Episode 2 is a documentary film by Tonje Hessen Schei.

As an American, this “movement” and the genocide in Palestine were the final nails in the coffin of my Christian faith. I’m ashamed of all of this.
"If genocide is the crime of
I can see why Europeans went through a revolution which separated Church and State. These people are nuts.
I STAND WITH PALESTINE I STAND WITH INNOCENT 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
As long as America is in power this world cannot be a peaceful place
They don't worship God. They worship their "Nation".
It’s a CULT
Simple question “If Jesus comes today, who would he support, Israel or Palestine? The Oppressor Colonialists or the oppressed poor ?”

Thank you Aljazeera for this amazing Journalism
Jesus said love they neighbour, not conquer, subjugate, and colonize thy neighbour.
I am a Christian, but not a Christian nationalist. I have watched both parts 1 and 2. This is an excellent documentary - very well done! I will be sharing it with others.
As a Christian this is so disturbing
And they blame another religion of extremism and terrorism. They are the ones guilty.
This is the most frustrating thing I have watched in quite some time. These evangelicals fail to be able to accept that everybody doesnt see the world as they do.
It makes me sick that I had to learn the truth about my country from a foreign news outlet.
