The 12 Tribes, By Brian37 (AKA Brian James Rational Poet on FB/META and @Brianrrs37 on Twitter/X)
Evangelicals on the U.S. side of the pond
Praise Israel and claim to be of staunchly fond
It is a bond they will not break, but is this friendship
Really about them protecting their Jewish mates?
The math is a bit perplexing to me
I look at Revelations 7:1-8 and see
This genocidal fireball prophecy
And all the Evangelicals heaven will see
But for all Jews this doesn’t seem to be
12,000, of the 12 tribes will get lucky
Yet the math frighteningly puzzles me
144,000 is all it will be
7.2 million Jews in the land they keep
16 million Jews total globally
This doomsday story prophecy
Doesn’t seem to be a bargain for them
It is like the Evangelicals in the back of the limo
Pull up to the after party, but before they go
They wag their fingers at the Jewish driver and say
“Thanks for the ride, but there isn’t enough room”
Wham bam thank you Jew.
(end)
Now again, this isn’t a call to end any religion or have Evangelicals arrested. But there are doomsday right wingers who do believe that Israel becoming a nation is the sign of the end times. That should frighten the shit out of all of humanity, not just Jews.
I personally want my planet and humans to survive as long as nature allows us.
“Wham bam thank you Jew” is a sarcasm about how that end times story seems to simply use Jews like a one night stand. “Wham bam thank you mam”. Like that.
I don’t want to see Jews slaughtered, I don’t want to see any type of genocide. But if you go by that book, most of humanity will burn in hell.
But if their argument is oh no, “You have the opportunity to accept God” that logic fails too. What would an all powerful God need with 8 billion friends?
Maybe the truth is it is simply selfish wishful thinking.
Maybe humans would do better to accept our finite nature and work together instead of arguing over which sky daddy is real?
