Revelation

Armies as special institutions have unique features. As an instrument of war, the military system has a monopoly on arms and considerable coercive power. The armed forces are well organized and disciplined. They have a hierarchy of degrees and a culture of absolute obedience. A constant feature of the army is a separate culture and shared values, as well as a sense of team solidarity. The army has an extensive system of worship military symbols, which resembles the religious cult of God. Soldiers taking the military oath pledge to sacrifice their lives on the altar of war. The Apocalypse is not a description of human history. The Apocalypse is a description of the judgment of the world. This is especially true of those who show violence against their fellow men. Every war is the use of organized violence on a large scale by the warring parties. This violence is carried out with the help of a specially created institutional system, which also includes a technical system of destroying people. For this reason, those who commit violence and those who support military organizations are cursed in the eyes of God. In the prophecy of Isaiah 34 chapter a verse 2 it says: “For the wrath of the Lord is against all nations, and his wrath is against all their army; He will destroy them as cursed and give them to be killed.” The Book of Revelation contains information about the modern army. It describes the relations between civil and military authorities and points to a radical change in these relations.Today, armies are subordinated to civilian structures of the governments. Often politicians decide about using of the army. In the future, however, chngening of these relations can be expected. There are many indications that the military administration will take power over the world.
