David SulgerAnyone who wants a war to _start_ in the Middle East is, I fear, a nut whether or not his motives are religious: the same kind of nut who wants the Earth to start orbiting the Sun, or who wants water to start being wet. The war is on already; has been for years. Decades, if you consider all the battles between Israeli & Arab forces since 1948 to be episodes in the same conflict (which I think is justifiable).
The 144k bit is the least of my concerns about literal interpretations of Revelations right now. There's a lot of religious nuts who would love to see a war start over in the Middle East right now, because they believe it will preceed the Second Coming. That's a belief to make any same person start worrying a little.
