The war between Iran and Israel/United States, can be framed as a pursuit of two very different end-times perspectives. One from Evangelical Christianity (USA), the other from Shiite Muslim theology (Iran). Both envision the return of a messiah figure to rule the world. Jesus, however, did not call us to precipitate the end, that is the Father's prerogative. We are to love God and our neighbor, and this must remain our focus.

Maintaining faithful Christian witness when faced with the temptations of empire

By Harvey Kwiyani

When we are impacted by the reality of war Christians need a strong theological foundation rooted in Scripture not doctrinal tradition that emerged from another context with questionable bias.
