About this listen

The US war with Iran brings Armageddon into public conversation, yet again. This time, with some US military leaders allegedly aiming to bring about this endtime battle, while others (Pete Hegseth) warn that Iran is the one desirous of a religious Armageddon. So, what exactly is Armageddon and where does it come from? In this episode, our hosts look at the history of apocalyptic thought, Armageddon, and surrounding ideas such as the Rapture, Great Tribulation, and millennialism. How have evangelical media depictions of these ideas contributed to our current geopolitical situation? A special endtime edition of the game.
