    So your last paragraph is not entirely true. According to most Christian doctrines, the tribes of Israel stopped being a thing with Jesus, and the title now referred to the followers of the church created by Jesus. Second, the 144k is less a concrete number and more a representation of perfection. People considered pure good would recieve the seal of god on their forehead to contrast those of pure bad that recieve the mark of the beast. Third, the 144k are given the role to recruit others to fight with god against the antichrist and the beast. Finally, in Catholic and Orthodox doctrine, the 144k are theorized to be the saints reborn to lead the rightcheous to victory.

    Also, on your first paragraph, the mosque is really only significant because the location is significant to Jews. The rising spirit myth only came about after the Muslim conquest of Jerusalem and the building of the mosque to silence and control the local population.


  • Why is camo worn in cities in general or why ICE is wearing camo?

    Cities aren’t big splotches of gray. Wearing camouflage still provides some benefit when within cities. Also, uniforms are no longer just the pattern, these uniforms would also reduce IR signatures to not be seen as easily by nighht vision equipment.

    Why ICE is wearing it? Surplus. The uniforms are easy to get and identify them as some form of federal agent. The alternative is a batch of one colour uniforms which would cost a lot or go plainclothes which I consider to be worse.
