I am not aware of any popular interpretations of God that would take kindly to bringing about the end times on purpose. These guys are getting Super Deluxe Hell with all the extras.

"Yes, you are totally right — the bible does seem to suggest that starting a war in Persia would bring about the Second Coming of Jesus Christ, who would no doubt reward you as a faithful servant while casting the anti-war hippies and pro-human-rights leftists into the lake of fire.

So does this mean that the war is going to go on until The Rapture occurs? Because if that's the case, perhaps we should rapture the MAGA leadership, and move on.
