Thy Kingdom Come Means Religious Genocide
Whenever someone prays for "Thy Kingdom come", they are praying for the day when Jesus will cram so many human bodies into a winepress that the resulting lake of blood will be six feet deep and 320 kilometers across, as foretold in Revelation in their Bible. This massacre of non-Christians is the culmination of the story of the Christian Bible. The prayer for "Thy Kingdom come" is a prayer for religious genocide.
Revelation chapter 14 warns: “They were trampled in the winepress outside the city, and blood flowed out of the press, rising as high as the horses’ bridles for a distance of 1,600 stadia.”
1,600 stadia is approximately 320 kilometers. That’s just one radius of the lake of blood to be made by Jesus and his angels when they slaughter people. Double that, and you get a lake with a diameter of 640 kilometers from shore to shore. That’s roughly the surface area of Lake Ontario.
The average volume of blood in a human body is just 5 liters. So, to get a lake of blood six feet deep as wide as one of the Great Lakes, an immense number of people would have to be killed.
The Christian writers of the New Testament, and the Christian priests who gathered to edit the New Testament together, thought that this idea, of Jesus coming back and engaging in a literal bloodbath of all the non-Christians in the world, was just fantastic. They eagerly anticipated this violence, and wanted to keep the bloodlust of their Christian audiences alive.
The Book of Revelation is the final book of the Christian Bible. It’s the part of the Bible that tells you what the point of all the rest of it was.
The bloody religious genocide promised in the Book of Revelation is the ultimate goal of Christianity.
So, when we see Christian Nationalists calling for a Civil War to make the United States a Christian nation, and the same people are eagerly hoping that the war between Israel and Gaza will lead to the Battle of Armageddon, we shouldn’t scratch our heads and wonder how Christians could say such things.
The Christian Bible makes it clear: A global war of horrific violence is the end goal of Christianity, and has been from the earliest days of the religion. That’s why the Book of Revelation is there. It’s a revenge fantasy that has fueled Christian violence for thousands of years.
