What happened when forgiveness met torture, suffering, killing and death in a violent collision on the road from the Crucifixion the Resurrection?
Armageddon is here and now. We are not fighting for something in the hereafter. The battle is now.

Christians partake in the fray.
To know forgiveness is to know God
