Inside the Bizarre and Dangerous 'Rod of Iron' Ministries
BLESSED BE THE AR-15
The AR-15 is a divine instrument of enforcing God's will — and that will, says "Rod of Iron" Ministries' leader, favors Trump

DAYS AFTER THE insurrection at the Capitol — where he’d been close enough to the rioting to get tear-gassed — Pastor Sean Moon posted an incendiary rant to Instagram. Wearing his trademark crown of bullets and speaking to the camera from behind a golden AR-15 assault rifle, Moon declared Jan. 6 had been the “Boston Tea Party of the Second American Revolution.”
Far from condemning the day’s violence, Moon praised the insurrectionists who “took dominion of the Satanic Temple” — that is to say, the U.S. Capitol building — and sent “the most powerful people on the planet scurrying away, like rats, in total fear, total panic, in tunnels.”
“God was victorious that day,” Moon insisted. “The criminals,” the pastor added — referring to America’s elected representatives who refused to back Donald Trump’s coup attempt — “can never take that image out of their mind. Now they realize, ‘Oh crap, if that happens again, the cops may stand down.’”

Pastor Moon sees himself and his church in a battle with “political Satanism.” He has thrown his lot in with the MAGA movement because, he insists, it reflects “the human desire to pursue freedom and not let a cabal a small cabal of people rule over them with impunity.”
When I asked Moon if he sees the MAGA crowd as helpful in advancing the events necessary for establishing his divine kingdom, he deflected. “We don’t know how God will use all these relationships.” But he says that his motivation is “standing together with people who are like minded, like hearted — and want to pursue God’s will in His kingdom.”
