Seems like they skipped the part of the Armageddon storyline where the entire world goes to shit and becomes a fire and brimstone hellscape plagued by demons torturing everybody that doesnt get evacuated by Jesus beforehand or whatever

I don't know about all of them, but prominent adherents include Ron DeSantis, Mike Johnson, Kari Lake, etc.
Look into the "New Apostolic Reformation" and the Seven Mountains Mandate.
