The day before his inauguration, President-elect Donald Trump will reportedly be attending an interfaith prayer service in Washington D.C. His wealthiest supporters can also attend — if they write or solicit a big enough check.

They want the world to end because they think it’ll rapture them into heaven and they’ll be pampered for all eternity. They WANT bad leaders who will stir up the Israelites, etc.
They want a nuclear war. They think the Bible prophecizes it.
I don’t think that’s a generally true description. I’m sure there are some amount of people for whom that applies but I don’t think most people who classify themselves as Christians would agree with those statements.
Maybe not the Christers (Christmas and Easter church goers) but the weekly+ faithful do. It’s way more common than you’d think… unless you are one of them, and then it’s exactly as often as you’d think, and I was one of them. The number of them there multiple times a week who not only believe the end of days is a good thing but actively pray and donate and vote for it to come faster is significant.
You’d be surprised, especially in the US. Biden is an avid believer of that, for example.
Biden does not want a nuclear war. If he did, we would have had one, he’s had plenty of opportunity to start or allow one, and instead he has actively worked to avoid it. I also would contest the idea he wants to die to get to heaven earlier.
He wants the rapture that all-out neuclear war in the Middle East brings. But technically it can’t happen yet because all the Jews need to be in Israel for some reason, and it’s not like he can order the deportation of American citizens. Still, that’s why he’s supporting this war. He definitely believes it.
