Sanctified war

In my view,  most of the leaders in the past were crazy. They would go to war and take new lands then claim that their decision was sanctified by a God. They smear the name of God. The God they speak of is righteous,  blameless and is angered by war and destruction. 

Surely such a person would have the mark of The Beast. They steal, kill and destroy with lies and violence. It never ends well for any person that has that mark on them. Whether they think it with their minds or do it with their hands in ignorance. 

If people still do that in the future then nothing has changed.
