What are the consequences of eschatological terrorism?
when we talk of eschatological, it is better to define it first. Eschatological = The branch of theology that is concerned with the end of the world or of humankind or a belief or a doctrine concerning the ultimate or final things, such as death, the destiny of humanity, the Second Coming, or the Last Judgment. Terrorism has been defined as "the unlawful use of force or violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives. People will say that leader of sect or religions have the religion Connotation for the causes of terrorism. No matter is it said, no matter who the terrorism is comming from, the pricipal motivation is politics. While the 1980s saw a growth of politically inspired terrorism, the 1990s has seen a dramatic increase in terrorism motivated by a religious agenda. As a result, intelligence experts have claimed that we may well be witnessing an emerging trend and shift away from terrorism motivated by political ideology towards a dominant religious terrorism warranting a revision of our notions of the stereotypical terrorist organization. This trend has received some attention within the intelligence and law enforcement communities, and should should be of particular interest to individuals and organizations involved in monitoring extremist and new religious groups and movements, especially with regards to the U.S. domestic terrorism threat.

Do the DOD and USAF define terrorism as the intention to coerce or intimidate governments or societies in the pursuit of goals that are generally political religious or ideological?
True
Why is there no single definition of terrorism?
Because not everyone agrees on which methods of attacking your enemies are too cruel or inhumane. Not everyone agrees which political or religious goals are worth killing over. If you define terrorism as "killing regular civilians who are not soldiers or police simply to hurt their country and shame their leaders to the point that their leaders surrender to your political demands" then the USA committed that kind of terrorism many times in WWII (bombing civilian areas of cities, or wiping-out entire cities and not just the military targets in those cities). But if you define "terrorism" narrowly to say its only terrorism to kill civilians to punish them for the public policies and political methods of their government, then it would not be terrorism to bomb a police station or military barracks, or kidnap and kill soldiers.
What is the definition of terrorism?
Terrorism requires a multi-part definition with six distinct parts that should be read together as a sentence:(1) an act by a person or group or organization who(2) uses violence(3) against civilian populations(4) in order to provoke fear among that civilian population(5) in order to instigate for political change in the country where the civilians were attacked(6) in line with the preferences of the person or group or organization who used the violence.If any part of this definition is not satisfied, then it is not terrorism. Often people confuse the term "insurrectionist" or "rebel" with a "terrorist". An "insurrectionist" or "rebel" does not have (3) or (4) in the definition. "Insurrectionists" and "Rebels" jump from (2) straight to (5). This is why we never hear American Revolution stories of Colonial soldiers bombing innocent people's homes with the intent of spreading fear of Colonial acts as pressure to abandon the United Kingdom. While there were acts of property damage, like the Boston Tea Party, these had no intentional deaths. Terrorism requires the deaths of civilians and for the person who committed the terrorism to be of a reasonable belief that his attack would kill civilians and support it anyway.
