    It’s even crazier than that, duckduckgo Rod of Iron Ministries and Moonies. It’s a church started by the son of a massive cult leader after his father died and there was a power struggle in the cult.

      Wait, is this the group that does mass weddings of multiple pairs of people in a day, the entire cult is present, and literally everyone is holding an AR of some kind?

        Technically it’s a different cult! The same insanity; this time with guns! Woo, America!

        and he will rule them with a rod of iron, as when earthen pots are broken in pieces, even as I myself have received authority from my Father.

          You can’t expect Christians to actually read the Bible.

            They definitely read parts of it. They want trump ruling with an AR-15. They’re literally saying that they want an authoritarian in charge that so break the US.

            Party of small government my ass.

            You’re absolutely right, though, because a critical reading of it would point that it’s supposed to be Jesus ruling and shepherding all the nations, and breaking us like clay pots. But, like you, I don’t expect them to actually read the whole thing, especially with a critical or scholarly eye.

      It’s also the cult that Shizo Abe had connections to. His assassin’s mother gave away the family’s wealth to that cult, leading to him going incel before realizing the connections.
