520 |a The conflict in Israel-Palestine has helped to produce one of the world’s most consistently volatile geographical hotbeds. Although the reasons for this conflict are many and complex, religious difference is universally cited as one of the region’s most explosive and decisive issues. This paper deals with eschatology, or the study of last things, as one branch of religion that is particularly prone to produce violent reactions. There are two principle reasons why this is the case. First, apocalyptic prophecies are inherently violent. This violent tendency is, moreover, compounded in Israel-Palestine because Judaism, Christianity, and Islam all predict that Jerusalem will be the site of the bloody events of the end of days. Second, these apocalyptic visions deepen the problem by contributing to situations that are likely to produce wide-scale violence as predicted by the theories of Manus Midlarsky, Thomas Robbins, Jessica Stern, and James Waller.
