Does the Bible predict the future with stunning accuracy as so many in the end-times camp have claimed?
I grew up in the rapture-me-outta-here end times movement, and have spilled no shortage of ink critiquing it– even poking a bit of fun at it. As a theologian I fall into a category of belief that sees biblical prophecies about “the end” as being events that have mostly been fulfilled in the past, but I try to hold that belief gently and recognize I could be wrong.
Many of my fellow Christians in America have warned me over the years of exactly that, often telling me: “I feel sorry for you, because when the Antichrist comes you’re not even going to recognize him!”
To honor those who have given me such warning, I decided to spend the past week studying the most significant biblical prophecies and descriptions typically believed by my conservative friends to refer the Antichrist. If my evangelical friends are correct, and if it’s entirely possible that the Antichrist is on the global scene today, I certainly wouldn’t want to be the only person in the room who didn’t recognize the Antichrist when I saw him.
In case you too are a bit rusty in the area of biblical predictions about the coming Antichrist and don’t want to be oblivious if such a person were to arise, consider me your chief antichristologist who is more than happy to help you out.
Here are the no-kidding-not-satire-prophecies and signs of the antichrist the Bible tells us to watch out for… and that blew my mind by the time I was done:
The Antichrist will be the leader of a nation that is a military superpower with the ability to trample and crush the entire earth.
“The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.”
Daniel. 7:23
This verse helps us start by narrowing down the nations and times the Antichrist could come from. The passage directly states he is from a nation that was different from times before, in that it was powerful enough to crush and destroy the entire earth– likely a nuclear superpower. Revelation also speaks of the Antichrist and his prophet having the power to “call down fire from the sky,” which further supports this notion.
Thus, when considering the prophecy in light of the modern world, it most likely leaves Russia or the United States, as both have over 6,000 warheads with remaining nuclear nations having under a few hundred. Furthermore, Revelation 17:15 describes the Antichrist coming from a place where there are “multitudes of peoples, nations, and languages” which would most accurately depict a “melting pot” nation like the United States.
The Antichrist will be a man who is exceptionally arrogant and will be known for giving boastful speeches.
“I could hear his boastful speech…”
Daniel 7:8, Revelation 13:5
So, as you keep your eyes peeled for the Antichrist, be sure to keep in mind that it won’t be a quiet leader who is deceitfully humble and flies under the radar– The Bible says it will be someone who loves to give speeches where he boasts about himself.
The Antichrist will be someone known for making a lot of public threats against people.
“…had a mouth like that of a lion.”
Revelation 13:2, Daniel. 7:4
As we begin to assemble the biblical prophecies, Christians on guard should be looking for a king-like figure who loves to boast about himself, but who also loves to go around roaring like a lion– things like threats to his enemies and a constant verbal flexing of muscle.
The Antichrist will be someone obsessed with winning.
“…and he was bent on conquering.”
Revelation 6:2
In addition to your king-like figure who likes to run his mouth, the Bible tells us to be on the lookout for someone obsessed with winning. Of course, most people like to win, but this figure will be different– he will be so obsessed with it that he’ll probably talk about it all the time. He might even fantasize about winning so much that one gets tired of winning.
The Antichrist will come from among 7 tall “hills” that each act as a “head.”
“And I saw a beast coming out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads, which stood for seven hills”
Revelation 13:1, Ch. 17
John described the Antichrist (beast) “rising up from the sea” as he looked out from the Island of Patmos in a supernatural vision. The Bible describes the beast as having 7 heads, which symbolized 7 “hills” that stood up high. Hills also are metaphorical for places of power in the Bible.
So, if the Antichrist were to come in the present age, we’d be most likely looking for an American president known for being exceptionally arrogant, boastful, and threatening others, but who also came from 7 tall “hills” or places of power… one of which would need to be somewhere in the vicinity of where John was looking out into the ocean where the vision occurred.
Huh… well this is a super weird coincidence:
Seven heads? Maybe like potential head-quarters?
Well, funny thing again: while Donald Trump owns at least ten skyscrapers that I’m aware of, apparently only seven of them are formally named Trump Towers:
Trump Tower, NYC
Trump International Hotel and Tower, Chicago
Trump Towers, Istanbul
Trump International Hotel and Tower, Toronto
Trump World Tower, New York
Trump Towers, Sunny Isles Beach
Trump Tower, Manila
And this is a little bizarre, but in John’s vision he said that the 7 heads had horns on them– some had just one, some had two… kinda like those antennas on top.
Wow, and you know what? John’s vision also said that the seven heads all had someone’s name written across them. Interesting!
And let’s not even open the can of worms regarding the building on 5th ave… Yeah, the same deal that was bailed out by Justice Kennedy’s son before Kennedy surprised everyone and retired– giving Trump what had been a swing vote on the Supreme Court. #PowerMove
Bummer of an address Jared! Glad you were able to offload that.
The Antichrist will cause people all over the globe to be filled with wonder and “follow” him.
“The whole world was filled with wonder and followed the beast.”
Revelation. 13:3
This verse also speaks to the likelihood the coming of the Antichrist is more likely to be in the modern world instead of the ancient one. 2,000 years ago it would not have been possible for people all over the globe to become fascinated by a political leader, let alone “follow” them.
Okay, I get it…
Some predictions and prophecies can be like horoscopes: they can appear to apply to anyone.
And I’m with you… when you get into stuff like numerology and interpreting seven-headed beasts, it’s hard to know if something is an eerie coincidence, or just plain silly.
I’d honestly started this post intending to be silly, and during my research began to find the coincidences and certain numbers happening to match a bit amusing the first few times. But at a certain point the coincidences added up or got too specific, and it wasn’t funny anymore– it was deeply unsettling.
And by the end? Well, stick with me as the prophecies grow more specific, and you’ll see why my mind was a bit blown– and why as a Christian my spirit was deeply unsettled by the the end of it:
The Antichrist will be a political outsider with despicable character and a contemptuous personality who wins an election that no one expects him to win.
“… a despicable person will arise… a man of contempt… to whom the royal honor has not been rightfully conferred. He will slip in when least expected and will seize the kingdom through flattery and intrigue.”
Daniel 11:21
When looking to identify the Antichrist, the Bible starts to help us with some really specific prophecies. Based on what the Bible predicts, a most likely scenario for the arrival of the Antichrist would be a candidate for president who came from the private sector (not of ‘royal’ background) being found with despicable morality along with a contemptuous personality, who campaigned on flattery and lies– but somehow went on to win an election no one expected him to win… leaving the country stunned.
The Antichrist will give speeches where he speaks “great things” and then about things that are even “greater.”
“He had a mouth that spoke great things, and that seemed greater than its companions…”
Daniel 7:20
Starting to get weird now, isn’t it? This is about the point I got goosebumps and a little freaked out also.
Yes, in warning us of the Antichrist the Bible predicts in both Daniel and Revelation that when the Antichrist comes, he’ll not only be the contemptuous and arrogant political outsider who pulls an upset in the election– but warns us that he’ll specifically be speaking of “great” and “greater” things along the way.
The Antichrist comes to power through collusion with a secret alliance who uses disinformation to help him win– even though he has a minority number of supporters.
“After an alliance is made with him he will practice deception, and he will go up and gain power with a small force of people.”
Daniel 11:23
So, you know… according to God’s holy and infallible word and all, one of the other major signs to warn us of the arrival of the Antichrist would be an election where someone won with fewer supporters, and where it was also proven that an evil outside power meddled with the process to specifically put that person in office.
But I can’t imagine the country would turn a blind eye if that ever happened, especially for my evangelical friends who tell me we need to always be on guard for the arrival of the Antichrist.
The Antichrist’s rise to power will seem like a miracle that God performed, tricking people into following Satan instead of God without even noticing.
“The arise in power of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie.”
2 Thess. 2:9
Evil is evil, but evil is not stupid… or at least, Satan isn’t. When the time comes to make his power move in the human story, he’ll find a way to not only make evil palatable– he’ll try the ultimate bait and switch by making God himself seem responsible for this evil. What better way to get a hit in, than to do it and make it look like God actually did it?
When the Antichrist comes, be sure to look for powerful religious folk claiming it was a miracle from God:
As president, the Antichrist will immediately find ways to make himself and his friends richer– and he will do it in a way no president had ever done before.
“Then he will distribute among his followers the plunder and wealth of the rich—something his predecessors had never done.”
Daniel 11:24
In this verse the Bible continues down the path of helping us get more specific about the rise of the Antichrist so we won’t miss it when we see it: He says that the Antichrist will be unique from all other presidents before him in the way he will be able to use the presidency to instantly get richer and toss lots of money over to his friends.
While all modern presidents are wealthy, and politicians give kick-backs, Daniel indicates something will be different about this president and that he will uniquely profit off the presidency in a way that previous presidents never imagined.
This prophecy could likely only be fulfilled if a rich business person were to win a deceptively influenced election, and then serve as president with some sort of business structure that got he and his friends richer and richer just from being president.
If such a thing were to ever occur, you might likely hear a government oversight body state something to the effect of: “The president has turned the government of the United States into a money-making operation for his family, his friends and himself.”
Once in power the Antichrist will reveal that his heart wants to make alterations to the “appointed times” that are in current laws.
“He will try to change the set times and the laws.”
Dan. 7:25
What’s fascinating is that the Bible never tells us he actually succeeds or does change the appointed cycles, but that he expresses wanting to change them. What would it look like to express an interest in changing laws around cycles and appointed times? It would likely be that the Antichrist will want to change elections, skip/delay an election, or extend term limits, etc, thus what the Bible says of “intending to alter laws for appointed times…”
The Antichrist will make fake news popular and will be a chronic liar. His followers will believe his delusions because they hate the truth.
“He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior… He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction, because they refuse to love and accept the truth that would save them.”
Daniel 8:25, 2 Thess 2:10
Daniel 8 and 2nd Thessalonians 2 are incredibly descriptive warnings to help us recognize the Antichrist. Predicting that under his rule “deceit will prosper” warns us to look for someone who calls the truth “fake news” and who is known for constantly lying.
In fact, the Antichrist lies so much that the Bible stops calling him the Antichrist and starts calling him The Liar– using the definite article for effect– as if he begins to personify fake news and lies.
The Antichrist will reward those who are completely loyal with powerful positions and lucrative real estate deals.
“He will greatly honor those who acknowledge him. He will make them rulers over many people and will sell them land at a price.”
Daniel 11:39b
No kidding: the Bible predicts the Antichrist will be someone who negotiates powerful real estate deals with his friends.
The Antichrist is someone in need of constant affirmation, so the Bible predicts he will use his position to surround himself with blind loyalists who honor and submit to him.
To spot the Antichrist as the Bible predicts, look for a president who gives high level positions away on the basis of personal loyalty. While all politics involve a level of this, the Bible calls the Antichrist a worthless shepherd’ so he will likely have a cabinet of leaders in disarray and incompetence, with many being blatantly unqualified or even a bunch of them going to jail.
If that’s not enough to help us identify the Antichrist, the Bible throws us a major bone: He’ll be a president experienced at negotiating land and property deals, and he’ll have access to plenty to buy and sell.
While some prophecies are general enough to fit certain leaders here and there, thankfully the Bible give us some rather specific clues to also look for– like a rich and arrogant political outsider who happens to be in the business of negotiating land and property deals.
The Bible says that we’ll be able to spot the Antichrist because he will give an arrogant public speech in the middle of his first term where he boasts of “great things” but also uses God’s name as a curse in the same speech.
“And there was given to him a mouth speaking of ‘great things’ and blasphemous words… and he opened his mouth saying terrible things and blasphemed the name of God.”
Revelation 13:5-6
I mean, if this were to happen all my end-times friends would spot it, wouldn’t they? Revelation 13 very specifically tells us that somewhere in the middle of his first three and a half years in office, the Antichrist will give a very specific and telling speech: he will arrogantly brag of his accomplishments and ‘great’ things, and will also use God’s name in a way considered to be blasphemy.
This would be exceedingly eye-brow-raising for any serious Antichrist hunter, were this to ever happen in a presidential speech… right?
The Antichrist will draw strong support from many Christians as if they are willfully blind and outright delusional.
“For false Christs and false prophets will arise and appear to perform ‘great’ signs and wonders so as to lead astray, if possible, God’s own people. He will use every kind of evil deception to fool those on their way to destruction…”
Matt. 24:24, 2nd Thess 2:10
Sorry, but I’m old enough to remember when revivals were for God and blasphemy was a serious sin.
The Antichrist will spend his first term in office having an ongoing feud with the leadership of the nation on his southern border.
“He will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South…”
Daniel 11:25
Creepy coincidence? The entire Antichrist narrative of Daniel 11 is situated around a conflict along the southern border where the Antichrist is wanting something that the king to his south wont give him. Based on the whole of Antichrist prophecies and the common thread of money and greed, it certainly appears to be money that he wants from the nation to his south…
The Bible predicts that negotiating a deal will be hopeless, as neither side is willing to budge. The Antichrist hates the leadership south of his border and hates his people. Not surprisingly, the Bible says they aren’t big fans of the northern king (v11:27). Scripture tells us that negotiations never get off the ground, as kings to the south don’t want to give the Antichrist anything.
It also says that the Antichrist will go down to the southern border as things heat up– there is a crisis where both sides have troops along the southern border– and that the Antichrist will return home with a large sum of money shortly after.
Another interesting coincidence: in April 2019 Trump toured the southern border and returned home days later to the Pentagon awarding him $1 billion toward his border wall.
The Bible also says that even though the Antichrist will come home with a large sum of money, that he’s even more furious about things after.
Maybe the money wasn’t enough for what he wanted and didn’t know where the rest would come from?
The Antichrist will be so angry at the king to his south that he will decide to intentionally inflict harm on that ethnic group in retaliation.
“He will set himself against the people… doing much damage before continuing his journey.”
Daniel 11:28
Yes, you’re tracking with me correctly: the Bible predicts the Antichrist will be an arrogant political outsider who talks about “great” and “greater” things, who wins an election where he has less supporters due to the election being tampered with, who then instantly gets rich off the presidency and spends his time in a feud with the president across from his southern border.
And yes, the Bible actually says that after negotiations fail at the souther border he decides to get even by intentionally inflicting harm and distress on that ethnic group.
Get ready to have your mind blown with what Zechariah’s prophecy about the coming Antichrist says on this matter, especially in light of what Daniel tells us regarding the Antichrist’s retaliation along the border:
“There will be a leader over the land who will not help the ones who are dying.
He will not go looking for the young who got lost, or care for the children.
He won’t help the ones who are sick or broken, or even give nourishment to the hungry ones who are still healthy.”
– Zechariah 11:16-17
Children being ripped from their parents as a deterrent from crossing into the “northern kingdom,” refugees being locked in cages without adequate care, some dying in our custody, children still missing or given for adoption even though they weren’t orphans?
Yeah, the Bible references the “worthless shepherd” who will do that– AKA: the Antichrist.
Still need a few more warning signs from the Bible as to the identity of the Antichrist? Apparently God doesn’t want us to miss it, because the last few drive it all home:
The Antichrist will be furious over “rumors and reports” that come from the east and north, and will fly into fits of rage as the reports surface.
“But reports will trouble him from the east and north, and he will set out in a tremendous rage to destroy and wipe out many.”
Daniel 11:44
That’s right: In the middle of the Antichrist’s feud along the southern border he will hear troubling “rumors and reports” that specifically come from the eastern and the northern parts of the country.
The Bible goes on to predict the rumors will “frighten” him and leave him so furious, that he has fits of rage and will want to destroy people over the reports.
The Antichrist will appear to receive a wound he can’t recover from, but will survive to put down the first attempts to remove him from office.
“[He] appeared to be fatally wounded, but the fatal wound was healed– and the whole world was amazed.”
Revelation 13:3
And of course, when Trump squeaked by in the Russia investigation due to internal DOJ policy which doesn’t allow the indictment of a sitting president, and because the jury who decided the outcome of his impeachment trial announced the outcome before the trial was even held.
Update, 10/6/2020:
Revelation 13:4: (after he survived the wound) “they worshiped the dragon who gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast?”
The Antichrist will have the nation’s most powerful religious leader influencing the country for him. This leader will try to convince Christians that the Antichrist is “God’s pick” and that we need to support him.
“And then I saw a second beast come from the Earth who looked like a lamb but spoke like a dragon… and it deceived the inhabitants of the Earth…”
Revelation 13:11–12
The Bible predicts the Antichrist will survive the near-fatal wound to his rule, but then goes on to tell us he will need the most powerful religious leader in the country to help him solidify support among the religious in order to stay in power– specifically around the 3 1/2 year mark.
3 1/2 year mark? That’s re-election season. Interesting!
The prophecy describes a political/religious alliance where the most influential religious leader in the country goes around speaking to large crowds, displaying any and all religious credentials he can muster, in order to generate support for the Antichrist rule to last more than just 3/12 years.
During the rule of the Antichrist there will be a global pandemic that will kill many people.
“…and many people died from the waters that had become bitter”
Revelation 8:10
The Bible predicts that during the rule of the Antichrist that there will be a global pandemic where an illness enters the country from a foreign place, spreading in liquid form (cough, sneeze) and ends up killing many, many people in the nation and globally.
During the pandemic the Antichrist will not prioritize the vulnerable.
“”There will be a leader over the land who will not help the ones who are dying.”
Zechariah 11:6
When the pandemic hits, be on the lookout for a leader who delays action even though he knows people will die, someone who publicly spreads scientifically false information that could get people killed, and someone who is in far more of a hurry to get back to winning than he is to help the sick and the dying.
During the rule of the Antichrist people will begin having strange and vivid dreams.
“‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”
Acts 2:17
Recently people have begin having strange and vivid dreams all across the country, and scientists have been busy trying to explain why it’s happening. The New York Times reported that the query on Google, “why am i having weird dreams lately” has quadrupled. Even National Geographic has a full article on the spike of people reporting having strange dreams.
During the rule of the Antichrist there will be food shortages and huge spike in food prices, but will be a surplus of oil that remains cheap.
“Two pounds of wheat for a day’s wages, and six pounds of barley for a day’s wages, and do not damage the oil!”
Revelation 6:6
The Bible predicts that there will be food shortages that cause a dramatic spike in food prices, while leaving some commodities untouched.
In March and April of 2020, many Americans had their very first experience walking into a grocery store and finding the shelves completely bare. This period also marked the biggest price increase in American food prices since 1974– at a time when oil was at such a surplus that for a moment, it had a negative price.
During the reign of the Antichrist those who are wise to what is happening will rise up and resist in a period of civil unrest that will get a lot of attention. They will face violence from security forces and receive no help from the Antichrist.
“Those who are wise will instruct many, though for a time they will fall by the sword or be burned or captured or plundered. When they fall, they will receive a little help, and many who are not sincere will join them.”
Daniel 11:33
How do we know the time is at hand and the Antichrist is in power?
Well, according to Daniel, look for a period of civil unrest where those who “resist” speak out against the culture of the Antichrist. Protesters will face violence from security forces, some will “fall” and get no help when they do, and their movement will be co-opted by opportunists whose motive is to plunder (loot) but who are not sincerely members of the resistance movement.
The Antichrist will use his armed forces to remove people from the area surrounding a church and will do something detestable in front of it.
“His armed forces will rise up to desecrate the area surrounding the temple, so that they can set up the abomination that leaves the area empty.”
Daniel 11:29-33
In ancient times God-followers went to the temple to sacrifice, worship him, and gather together. The Bible tells us that during the rule of the Antichrist there will come a time when churches do not gather like they used to.
It further tells us, both in Daniel and then mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 24, that the Antichrist will use the military to clear out the area outside a church until it is empty and desolate. Once the area is cleared, the Antichrist will do something just outside of the church that is an abomination to God.
On June 1, 2020, Donald Trump had federal officers fired teargas (a weapon that is outlawed under the Geneva Convention) and rubber bullets on peaceful protesters in Washington D.C. and make the area desolate so that he could walk to a local church for a staged photo op. It was not a church he attended (he prefers to play golf on Sundays), and the photo op was to help him with conservative religious voters.
What is also interesting is the Bible tells us in the very next verse that after the Antichrist engages in this act in front of the church, he will flatter and compliment Christians who have betrayed their faith to follow him. In an interview after his staged event, Trump said that religious people were happy he did it and mentioned Franklin Graham and Robert Jefress– offering them both flattery.
The pastor of the church was absolutely furious that he would not only do this to peaceful protestors in front of the church, but that he would use their church and a Bible from inside, as a photo op. They even threw a priest off church property in order to do it.
The Antichrist will see himself as being above everyone else, as if he had no need for God. He will eventually elevate himself as the God and King of Israel
“And he will exalt himself above all… so that he sets himself up in God’s own temple in Israel, proclaiming himself to be God.”
2nd Thess 2:4, Rev 17
However… it’s hard to imagine this actually happening. I don’t know if I’ve ever met a professing Christian who saw themselves as being so flawless or had zero reverence for God. Well, take that back– never mind the admission that he’s “never seen a need” to ask God forgiveness for anything, or saying, “Why should I repent if I haven’t done anything wrong?” just TODAY he did something that seemed unthinkable…
Here’s Donald Trump, just as the Bible predicts, setting himself up like he’s the God and King of Israel:
Beyond words. This is what Antichrist looks like.
But you know what? He is not the God of Israel. He doesn’t worship or even know the God of Israel.
But are you ready for some Antichrist trolling about 2,600 years in the waiting?
Well, we know the Antichrist hates God and doesn’t worship him– but the Bible *does* actually let us in on a secret and tells us who the Antichrist does worship… and spoiler: it’s not actually Satan.
The Antichrist will be a one-term president
Revelation 11:1-2, 13:5, Daniel 7:25
The Bible says that the Antichrist will be given power to rule for approximately 3 1/2 years. It doesn’t say that his rule ends exactly at three and a half years, but rather indicates the bulk of his season of power is limited to this span of time. In an American context, this makes complete sense as the 3 1/2 year mark is when the focus of a president either shifts to re-election, or in the case of a two-term president, this period often becomes the “lame duck” period where many presidents functionally lose their power and influence.
To keep your eye out for the Antichrist, I would look for a president who is able to rule quite powerfully for the first 3 1/2 years, but who then either completely shifts his focus to re-election, or sees his power & influence slip away as election season takes over– and who loses in the end.
The Antichrist will attempt to stay in power, but will be defeated by the nation’s courts.
“But then the court will convene, and all his power will be taken away.”
Daniel 7:26
Could you spot the Antichrist? Well, the Bible gives us a boat load of clues– and this is another unique one that will stand out in American history. The Bible tells us that after the 3 1/2 year mark, the rule of the Antichrist will come to an end. In an American context that would most likely mean the Antichrist loses his re-election bid.
However, Daniel 7 tells us it will not end there– meaning it is highly likely the Antichrist will not accept the election results, or will attempt to find some other way to stay in power. But the biblical prophesy to look for is this: the Bible tells us that the nation’s court system will sit in judgment over the matter, and that they will rule against the Antichrist (the “liar” as the Bible calls him), and that their ruling will be the final blow that brings his rule to an end.
The Antichrist will worship the god of border walls.
For real. The Bible actually says that.
“He will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. Instead of them, he will honor a god no one will have heard of before: the god of fortresses. And he will worship this god with a lot of money.”
Daniel 11:37-38
You can’t even make this stuff up– yes, the Bible *actually* says that instead of worshipping the true God, the Antichrist will worship an unknown god of “fortresses.”
What does this word “fortress” literally translate to?
Border walls that secure a city or country, that’s what.
Yes, the Bible says the Antichrist will worship the god of border walls.
Some commentaries argue it’s not even referencing a real deity (though some think it was the ‘god of towers’ like a gate tower), but instead note that it is likely the Antichrist will be so obsessed with a border wall, worshipping it with a lot of money, that it functionally becomes his god.
Yup- trolling from long-since-dead-guys. Priceless!
The Antichrist’s most devoted followers will wear a sign of their allegiance to him on their foreheads.
“And they received a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads…”
Revelation 13
And we all thought it was going to be a barcode or chip….
And the final biblical prophecy on the Antichrist:
… But the people who truly know God and remain faithful, will firmly “resist” him.
With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.
Daniel 11:32
Yup– even the name of our movement is mentioned in the Antichrist narrative.
…
So in the end, what do I believe theologically on the subject of eschatology after this research project?
I don’t know yet.
But what I do know is this: If the Antichrist comes, I’m not going to be the one guy in the room who doesn’t recognize him.

Well unless you believe in “Q”, i wonder how everyone is feeling about this “prophecy” NOW.

Here’s another fun fact if we’re going to go down this path, the rapture must be at hand, right? My pastor many years ago taught that God is not required to take our bodies in the rapture, as is commonly thought. He perceived it would be some kind of mass illness or global catastrophe that caused people to die en masse…
Fear Monger… complete and utter fear porn.
I initially came to these sites to discuss the bible. I did not know what a Progressive Christian even was. I found their views mostly lawlessness and tried to respond with scripture.
But these sites soon became totally political because that is what sells. Ben is a perfect example. His blogs generate the most comments of any of the writers. Eventually he left Patheos and went on his own where his success continued.
What will they do now? Biden is not going to provide the fodder that Trump did.
This for you, RO, as it is another proof of Christ outside of the bible:

Christ noted two things that opposed Christianity: money and pharisees.
This is written in totally a white evangelical-style mindset — picking and choosing pieces and trying to prove they fit together. And picked from vague ancient texts, from ‘The Bible’. This, rather than simply listening to Christ who said as Mary sat at his feet, was the ‘better thing’ (than all of the hectic activity about/around Christ).
Yet again, as white evangelicals have tended to do — it utterly ignores Christ.
As he stated in the intro, he again wasted ink – on this one.
Just out of curiosity, have you read the Gospel of St. Thomas?
Very interesting post. I no longer believe the Bible, but I think you point out consistently uncanny similarities. I took a peek at the comments and saw some discussion about the second beast.
I’m no expert. I was raised Mormon and so my knowledge of the Bible is an embarrassment whenever I try to discuss it with a mainstream Christian. I took a peek at Revelations (and mind you, I’m only going from Revelations), but there is no mention this second beast is explicitly religious.
This person comes from out of the earth, makes an image of the Anti-Christ, commands us to worship him and seizes control of the money system so nothing can be bought without taking the mark of the beast.
This conjures a few images for me.
1) The rumor that Trump wanted his face added to Mount Rushmore. That one hasn’t panned out (yet), but the principle artist on that piece would certainly be emerging from the earth.
2) Someone in tech/film. Someone who can make a movie or hologram image that is broadcast around the world.
3) If we were still on the gold standard, I would say the Federal Reserve. Gold comes from out of the earth, Trump’s image could be put on a coin (I see this as incredibly feasible), we are told to worship the image of Trump (the coin/money), we can’t use that money without taking on the mark of Trump (I’m not wearing a MAGA cap, I don’t care what you say).
This article goes to great lengths to argue that Trump is the antichrist but where in all the quoted scripture does it talk about the antichrist being voted out of office, probably charged with crimes and not being the leader of a country? Unless, of course, Trump is not the antichrist..
We know ppl by their fruit. If you have been paying attention, even somewhat, (many Christians prefer to bury their heads in the sand), then you clearly see that God has been working through Trump. God does not use perfect ppl, as none exist. He uses ppl who allow themselves to be used. We have the left: they are flat out communists, in political office, and their supporters who are communists, socialists, and Marxists. If you believe that side is in any way Godly, then you are severely misled. President Trump’s actions over the course of the last four years, have proven him to be the person who is fighting for American, which means Judeo-Christian, values and principles.
You have my attention, especially after this week’s actions. What happens next?

Gee you almost feel sorry for Mike Pence being offered up by trump as a sacrifice to his fascist mob……
Almost…….
Seems everyone can see now, what we could always see about Trump.
The Emperor has no clothes.
Never forget those who followed and promoted the lies of the Liar in Chief.
If there is any repentance (which is highly doubtful) it is not to be believed because they will just gravitate to the next conman seeking to divide your country.
Sleepy joe is wrong to think he can unite the US.
These people don’t want to be united.
They only want their way or none at all.
I for one, object to the content of Bones’s comments and ask he be blacklisted from your site for his offensive language and senseless slurs.
Wow, yet you vote for and worship a slanderous adulterer who has led a government insurrection and the chaos of a pandemic.
I object to those who have prostituted themselves to the personality of the Trump cult leading to the deaths of thousands and the have the gall to moralise and tell us how they’re the real Christians.
They should be blacklisted from life.
Bahahahaha
And Trumpers are crying about free speech because their messiah is banned for inciting insurrection.
But Bob wants people banned because they’re nasty to Trump cultists.
I came to your article because I happen to make a post yesterday about Trump & the Antichrist seem quite the same.
Your article terrified me. What gets me is….I’m not Christian. Haven’t been for MANY years & yet it seems clear as day. I have dear friends back home in the USA that are staunch supporters & I just don’t get it. It’s been doing my head in.
If anyone can answer me how is it as a non-Christian I can see it & believe it?
Absolute garbage. You could apply the same scenario to Biden who is colluding with China, so the Chinese leader could be the Antichrist. Plus democrates have no respect for Chritianity, this is based on the recent prayer made at the opening of Congress, where the prayer giver mentioned Amen and awomen. Pathetic.
ANYONE who equates Covid, which has a 99% survivability rate, as a “deadly wound”, needs their head examined. No “King of the West” mentioned in scripture, yet THE LEADER OF THE WEST ITSELF is the AC… WOW, that’s retarded.
Is there anything in the prophecies about the AntiChrist being a massive sook and loser who’s chucked the biggest tantrums ever seen?
Trump’s post election court cases are now at 1-59.
Is anyone sick of winning yet?
It is becoming obvious that tRump is not the “biblical antichrist,” however an over achieving evil-doer yes.
I will never get sick of winning due to the fact that I am a Vietnam Vet who had to many brothers-in-arms die in combat only to be berated by the draft dodging coward comrade in chief.
The Antichrist is prophesied to lead a revival of Rome. The empire of biblical times no longer exists, but the USA, which did not exist then, is often thought of as the modern Rome. And “Make America Great Again” is definitely an attempt at revival.
EDIT Apologies if this has already been mentioned somewhere in the comments
You and Hal Lindsey should get together to publish a book…..you both possess amazing and fanciful abilities to find something out of nothing..and sell it to people!!
This has got to be one of the most narrow-focused, close-minded, hate-filled comments sections I have ever read. It is as if you are all reveling in your hatred and egging each other on to even more outrageous accusations, then wallowing in them.
You all realize that the antichrist, whether it be tRump or not, ushers in the return of the christ and a thousand years of peace. Cause after reading some of these posts, it’s like some of you do not want to live in peace and harmony.
And the meek shall inherit the earth.

I wish this woman would come forward ….she was told if she didn’t drop her case, she and her family would be killed…I can bet Ghislaine Maxwell will soon be pardoned .. I can’t for the life of me, figure out people why people of faith defend this sinner… http://thememoryhole2.org/blog/doe-v-trump
A blasphemous use of misquotes from the Bible to create an unfounded political argument.
Obviously to get BLC more speaking engagments and more profit.
Yeah… sooooo many speaking engagements to be had this year https://media4.giphy.com/media/wTTaiw8GECOK4/giphy.gif
Probably not right now.
I suppose it is more like “come mumble through a mask to a Biden-sized micro-crowd.”
Buy stock in “BIG Mask” Corp.
This will all come to an end one way or another, sooner or later.
Part of me wishes you are correct because the antichrist points to the Second Coming which is to be looked forward to.
I believe that one of the things you have missed here, a very very big thing, the biggest in fact, is that the antichrist will pull the wool over everyone’s eyes, will be beloved by (nearly) all. This is the most frightening thing about the antichrist, his ability to draw followers.
Trump certainly isn’t that. He has the entirety of the power structure foursquare against him, dogging his every step and cursing his every word. Everything he does is denigrated with vituperation and outright hatred.
Much like Christ on his first visit to us. Although, no, I am not suggesting that Trump is Christ like anymore than any one of us is.
I was directed here by my grand daughter, who does not believe, because she believes I am a “man of faith.” Unfortunately she is a democrat as well as a non-believer. Funny how those two positions coincide.
You have misinterpreted the Bible. It says all will follow him, not all will love him. And the whole world does follow him like never before in history. We have a direct line to his brain via Twitter and other social media. Satan doesn’t care about corrupting those who are dead in sin, he knows where they will wind up. He cares about corrupting Christians. This is his last effort to turn as many against God as possible. Just look at the Evangelical Christians in this country. They have sold their souls to Trump and idolize him. They are frauds and false prophets.
Considering how the socialist world leaders aare shoving past each other to congratulate jojothemonkeyboy I really don’t see where you think you are coming from. Your arguments are sadly demented.
All the world leaders are congratulating Biden. Jojothemonkey? And I’m the one with sadly demented arguments?Look dude, you can live in your own simple fantasy world where you worship Trump. I don’t care. The rest of us seem to get it.
First you say that the antichrist will be followed by all these hate-filled individuals and then you say all these leaders are happy to follow jojothemonkeyboy and not Trump? I thought the anti-C pulled the wool over all these eyes and now you are saying that Trump did not and such world leaders as xi-ping of china, the kook running n.korea, the imaam of iran and all the enemies of the USA are now heartily endorsing bidet? Do our enemies lknow something we don’t…about us?
Are you one of those enemies?
Wow. A lot to unpack here. Honestly, I don’t have the wherewithal to argue with you. Your logical fallacies are something else. Be well.
When things were at their very worst:
2 Suns, Cross in the sky, 2 comets will collide = don`t be afraid – repent, accept Lord`s Hand of Mercy.
The first sign – the Earth will spin faster.
The second sign concerns the sun, which will loom larger, brighter and begin to spin.
Scientists will say it was a global illusion.
Beaware – Jesus will never walk in flesh again.
After WW3 – rise of the “ man of peace“ from the East = Antichrist – the most powerful, popular, charismatic and influential leader of all time. Many miracles will be attributed to him. He will imitate Jesus in every conceivable way.
Don`t trust „pope“ Francis = the False Prophet
– will seem to rise from the dead
– will unite all Christian Churches and all Religions as one.
One World Religion = the seat of the Antichrist.
Benedict XVI is the last true pope – will be accused of a crime of which he is totally innocent.
– banking collapse was deliberately masterminded by the Antichrist
– Antichrist will step in and create a false peace in the state of Israel by joining them with palestine in an unlikely alliance.
– „He will recite extracts from My Teachings, which he will passionately proclaim from every secular stage in the world, until people sit up and take notice of him.“

Do you even believe in Jesus? So we are in the middle of the Tribulation? what version bible are you using because I have NEVER seen it written that way… You are a total HACK and you are leading people astray… Better a millstone be tied around your neck pal… good grief you are a HACK
The objective in these anti-Trump blogs is not to advance biblical prophecy but to inflame readers against President Trump. As you can see from the comments it works. The people on these sites fervently believe that President Trump is worse than any historical figure you can name and use God as their witness. But their judgment is self-serving and judgment works both ways.
The Goats that blindly follow this CLOWN is NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING… Babies in Christ if they even know Him… good lord what happened to checking what people say with FACTS!! I had some people ask me to look at this article because it was upsetting to them… I am a Watchman and Gods word said there would be false witnesses in the end days and these people took this CRAP Hook Line and Sinker… What a total HACK this guy is… Just look at his FB page and you will know exactly who and what he is.
Whereas you Bob would love for Trump to grab your crotch.
Looks like God changed his mind about trump, Bob.
At what stage do you realise you were a complete dick?
Hi Bob, thanks for chiming in on this silly article, and even sillier comments. To which I would’ve found a complete waste of time until I saw some of ur comments. I’m curious your thoughts on who the real antichrist might actually be? Gates “seems” a likely to be the beast-bc of his patented #2020060606A vaccine. I can also see how Obama could be applied as the antichrist.
I have to admit there are some parallels that concern me (regarding trump) thou. Not in this article mind u..it was pretty pathetic. But a couple others potentially on trump being the antichrist that were somewhat more compelling… Mostly regarding the deep devotion, the 3.5 years of peace (then comes to plandemic and rioting), second coming messiah /or deception, the last trump (?), etc..not too convincing really but I just want to be somewhat removed from ALL the good Trump has CLEARLY done just to objectively view the whole.
Can u tell me your thoughts on this, and who u think might be the real deal? Obviously can’t be Biden lol and Hillary is Lilith / jezebel, the Witch.
Thank you🙏🏽🇺🇸🙏🏽
I don’t know if the anti-Christ is on the scene yet or not. I do know the Temple has to be rebuilt so the anti-Christ can enter and declare himself God. The physical construction of the Temple won’t take that long but it can’t be started until they know where to build it. It is not at the Dome of the Rock as many believe. It is close to there and some know the location but until the Jews accept it they cannot start. This seems like a bit further in time yet to me.
Love you description of Hilary but who is the Lilith you mention?
If you haven’t read Sidney’s law suit against Georgia yet I recommend it as you will then get a good night’s sleep. It’s in the body of the Epoch Times article below.

Lots of mystery surrounding Hillary. I mean, Lilith. During her life as Lilith, 3000 BCE, she was depicted as a demonic child-killing demon witch. Amulets were worn to protect children from her.

Lol the Epoch Times..
Trump and Allies law suits are1-38.
Apparently you need evidence in court – not lies.
The “antichrist” is not an individual but anyone who speaks against the Triune God.
That is what John said but given the rampant knowledge of today’s “apostles” … what did John know?
Jesus said the mystery of lawlessness was already at work in His time. 2 Thessalonians 2.
But the anti-Christ is a specific future person whom is empowered by the beast to fulfill prophecy in the end times. This person is unknown today and trying to guess is all we can do.
I do believe that uneducated guesses based upon false testimony to support someone’s personal political agenda are not in the category of “good guesses.”
Bahahaha
How’d that lawsuit go?
Apparently you need more than lies and bs social media posts.
The kraken proving she’s really calamari.
Court cases at 1-59 and showing how much you people will lie and live in a world of total delusion.

Yeah just share that Christian love.
If anyone needs a millstone around their neck and being tossed into the sea it’s those f##kwits who voted for Trump.

This is a foolish article. Rather than exegetically look at the Scriptures, you supplied meanings into the text. That’s called Eisegesis. You conveniently ignored Scriptures that don’t fit your narrative (what mark is on any Trump Supporter’s right hand?) and ascribed meanings to biblical words from your own vocabulary (election, term, etc.).
Not to mention the countless other end times prophesies that don’t fit in this mold that you have built.
I am not a fan of Trump but as a long-time follower of Christ, this article is poorly done and deceitful to the core.
So wow, read the points, and then read the actual chapters myself. And all this is is just some stretched out ideas. Daniel 11 has been proven to be some specific prophecies of Macedon, the four successor kingdoms, and then some other, now historical, things. In Revelation we read that first the seven seals and seven trumpets happen before the beast rises. As well as the two witnesses (Elijah and Moses) in Israel. So yeah, just an hour of actual research into the Bible and it is debunked.
“[He] appeared to be fatally wounded, but the fatal wound was healed– and the whole world was amazed.”
Revelation 13:3
I can’t help shake the feeling this related to the Election results.
Revelation 13:4: (after he survived the wound) “they worshiped the dragon who gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast?”
This one im still scratching my head on
this article truly suffers from a lack of credibility. while i personally don’t care for Trump myself, to claim he is the antichrist is really stretching the truth. oh, and btw, you left out some very important aspects of the antichrist as seen in II Thessalonians 2:1-12, he is called “the man of sin” and “son of perdition.” he will come at a time of a general apostasy, he will “”deceive people with signs and wonders and will sit in the temple of God””, and claim to be God himself. did you catch that? “deceive people with signs and wonders and sit in the temple of God.” nice try author but your claims bear no truth whatsoever. the antichrist may very well be alive today but i don’t plan on being around when he comes to power. one last note: i see you’re part of the emerging church and progressive Christianity movement and that explains a lot. just know that you’re in my prayers sir.
You also have to consider that to someone looking forward 2000 years, what truly is the perception of what “signs and wonders” might look like? And sitting in the temple of God isn’t that far off…

Interesting!
There is one caveat. Trump can only be THE Antichrist if the first 4 Trumpets of Revelation ACTUATLLY represent Climate change. In that case, the first Trumpet would represent deforestation, the second would represent the plastic in the ocean, (it kills the sea-life) the third would represent fertilizer runoff (makes waters bitter and pepole die) and the fourth would represent the smog (blocks the son moon and stars. Otherwise Trump is just AN Antichrist.
Wow, maybe a comparison to another belief should be read. Check out the book, National Sunday Law, by Jan Marcussen.
Trump does fit the bill so far, but you could tone down the partisan rhetoric a bit. Many of your points are by no means foregone conclusions. Babylon is a complicated topic in and of itself. America could fall, new weapons could be invented, etc. I agree that right now, at this moment, Trump fits the bill. There’s a lot left to be made known, however. This article leaves me questioning your motives. Is it your political bias or a genuine desire to get at the unadulterated truth that’s doing the talking?
The purpose of this blog was to generate comments and boy did it. Ben was the superstar on Patheos before he left and he continues in this blog.
The audience for this type of anti-Trump material is huge; kind of like drugs. It makes people feel good to disparage their President because they don’t agree with him. When Trump wins on Tuesday the meltdown will be huge.
Bahahahahahahahaha
Your messiah’s meltdown is huge…..
….and the meek shall inherit the earth
Matthew 5:5
I first read this over a year ago. I came back today after thinking about it and realizing the COVID/mortal wound connection. I’m Catholic and so not a literalist, but wow, this has me thinking a lot.
Pat Robertson, the 700 club televangelist, said that god told him tRump would be elected president and usher in the end times of death and destruction. Granted this is the third time that pat has predicted the end of the earth but hey…’three times the charm’.
So if pat says tRump is the antichrist who am I to disagree.

The Bible, a translation of ancient texts that mingle superstition with history distorted by prejudice, contains obscure language that can be translated in a variety of ways. It really has no fundamental continuity, and the meaning of most of the phrases cited here is uncertain and subject to different interpretations. In other words, it signifies nothing, proves nothing.
Nevertheless, an amusing article, thanks to the author!

In 2000 Al Gore won the popular vote by 1.5 million and lost to the supreme court, in 2016 Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by 3 million and lost to the electoral college, in 2020 Joe Biden will win the popular vote by 6 million and lose to the electoral college via the supreme court.
I see a pattern here and it is not good.

Answers the question as to why jesus always referred to mankind as sheep, stupid creatures.
Jesus did not not refer to His creation as stupid. His first comment was that they were very good. Gen. 1:31.
sheep are stupid, case in point read your posts
Sheep are sweet and passive animals. They do not make fools of themselves like humans; case in point -You!
Ouch, Matthew 5:22
careful dude
Right back at you.
In your profile, you claim to be an “animal lover” … yet you support a monster whose own son shot a blind elephant, chained to a tree, and held up her tail as a trophy.
https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=don+jr+elephant+shooting
Then, in a blatant disregard to protect endangered species, TЯ☠️m₽ grants permits to import animal trophies:

Yet when hypocrites like you called Jesus and his followers “the devil” … Christ named them swine, dogs, ferocious wolves, vipers, and corpses in white-washed tombs.
In a scary update to this, trump gets coronavirus and may miraculously recover, just like You cited in revelations 13:3, but about russiagate.
Odd also to note that it was Oct 1, 33 days before the election that his ‘wound’ was announced. 13:3/1,33
UH OH…….tRump may not be the antichrist afterall, unless he uses this as the close to death then comes back to life in a glorious fashion thing. And if tRump dies then definitely not.
It is what it is
TЯ☠️m₽ is the Beast, not the Antichrist … unless they’re the same person.
But in reply to your comment: remember, in Revelation 13:3, it is prophesied that the Beast will receive a “deadly head wound” which would be miraculously healed (by Satan).
Could TЯ☠️m₽’s COVID attack and ‘recovery’ be that deadly head wound?
Or should we expect more drama from the Drama-Queen-in-Chief?

Dan 7:25 “change laws etc
Again, he cherry picks. This verse isn’t referring to American constitution. It’s referring to Israel. Like changing the sabbath.
I’ll read the rest later
Israel didn’t change the Sabbath. It was Constantine, at the Council of Nicea.
Get your history straight.
The Council of Nicea also changed another law, by removing the Second Commandment (“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven images … “) from their Bible.
Long article. Not finished yet. So far I wrote this:
When Elijah brought fire from heaven, it wasn’t nuclear. I think to say it is is forcing scripture to say something it doesn’t.
“Speaking great things” – Rev 13:5
What the author is doing here is cherry picking. He is obviously a democrat and wants Trump to be Antichrist. Speaking great things means “And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.” Rev 13:6-8
Trump never Blasphemed, he honours God. He hasn’t made war with the saints. He pro Israel. He is not popular worldwide – the media hate him, the Antichrist will be loved like Obama and Hitler (in his early days). The people that hate him tend to also hate Christianity.
——-
Obsessed with winning and quotes the second seal.
This guy is desperate. The first seal and rev 13 are not the same time frame. Where’s the white horse? Trump is winning from a business front, but conquering to conquer? He hasn’t done that because that would mean war and annexing nations.
——-
7 heads are not towers/ hotels. He is really desperate.
——
When Jesus says “follow me”, he wasn’t referring to on Twitter. This guy uses what he sees in the flesh and forces it to prophecies.
—-
He quotes Dan 11:21, the verse before says ‘raiser of taxes’ – Trump reduced them. He’s not a Marxist nor socialist.
The Antichrist will be very popular. So if he will go through an election, he will be favourite. This author is desperate.
I see you’re a worshiper and defender of TЯ☠️m₽-the-Beast, and you dare
accuse (No Scandals) President Obama of the crimes against humanity which your Orange-Pig-Idol has committed!
President Obama isn’t responsible for killing 213,000 Americans.
Your Orange-Pig-Idol is!
Nicely said. Watch the vultures pounce…
I hate Trump too but you don’t want me on your side, I’m one of those non religious people. which leads me to my question: what’s this god “desired by women”? most religions have little or no respect for women unless they keep their mouths shut and obey.
The beast with 7 heads is the G7 it states that 5 will fall away and 1 will come. The one that cfg comes is Russia.
In the bible it says satan is the ruler of the world.
Donald name meaning is “world ruler”.
The dragon mentioned in rev. was Hitler (dragon teeth)
The antichrist is Trump.
It mentions a woman in labor satan is after, she has a Garland of 12 stars, clothed with the sun moon at her feet. Scotland has a flag with a Garland of 12 stars (trumps mother is from Scotland) the sun and moon represent blood moon, he was born during a blood moon. It mentions a flood and there was a flood June 1946 in New York.
It mentions the beast will rise out of the sea and stand in the sand. When he became president his residence mar a largo in on the ocean in the sand.
Trumps revamped presidential car built to withstand bombs and militarized is called the beast. Putin has a missle named satan.
I’m not saying he’s wrong, but I could come up with at least as good an argument for applying these claims to Abraham Lincoln – especially the dispute with the people of the South, his attacks on the East (Maryland was east of him when he attacked it) and on the North (he imprisoned over 30,000 newspapermen, pastors, and opposition politicians without charges in the northern states), his glee at the war crimes committed by his soldiers against civilians, and so forth.
And there are some holes here: “bent on conquering” is not the same as “wanting to win”. Conquering is a specific type of winning, and Trump has shown much LESS interest in conquering that previous presidents.
Then of course there is the fact that his boasting is a sort of humility, in that it is done jokingly.
But there are certainly a good number of strange coincidences.
Really, about the only way an ancient person could come describe current events in this way would be if there were to watch our modern newscasts without any cultural knowledge of what was actually going on.
Oh, and of course the way that the false religious leaders in the northern states (so called Christians who held seances and published influential books based on false visions) encouraged the people of the north to betray their brothers who had made and kept them free and who had provided much financial support, to betray them and murder them and torture them and subdue them to their will, all while singing “religious” songs about the righteousness of murdering their brothers simply because they wanted to go their own way.
Yes, at least as good a case could be made for Abraham Lincoln being the anti-Christ.
Also, the whole question of “blasphemy” is a difficult one, because it is never clearly defined – but it seems the serious type of blasphemy involves false teachings, and either attributing to God what is not God’s, or denying that what is God’s is God’s. I’m pretty sure that saying “God damn” (or “Drat”, or “Zounds”, etc.) is not the serious sort of blasphemy.
The words anti-Christ mean any who oppose the teachings of Jesus. The words used in French Provincial 1500 coined by Nostradamus “Ante’ Christ” refer to a person Who comes BEFORE the return of Christ Jesus! This one is David re-incarnated. Read Hosea 3: 4-5, Isaiah 55: 3-5, Jeremiah 30: 9, Ezekiel 34: 23-24, Ezekiel 37:24-25, Rev 19; 11-16 Due to be in the 2020 elections running-on the open ticket NationofChange.org, asking Voters to Abolish all pagan holidays then begin to celebrate Only the Seven Mosaic feast days.

“400 politicians, judges, cops/admin, wealthy business men”, etc. “in California alone”. So let’s see the list of these Californians who just, one day, mysteriously disappeared from their jobs, appointments, and public life to serve their prison terms. You could theoretically hide the process, but how are you going to explain these “disappearances”? I’m waiting.
So out of context and definitely in the wrong geographic zone! Wow talk about twisting scripture.
For the record I was never a Trump supporter but as I respected Obama as my President I respect this one too. No President has supported the values of Christians more than this President, that’s just the facts.
A sister in Christ. 🙏🏼🙌🏻👑
I am not a Trump supporter. I’m sorry, but after I quit laughing about the idea that you would consider the cartoon Trump the Antichrist, I have to give a serious response.
Aside from having a big mouth, Trump does not fit ANY of the descriptions of the Antichrist given by the Early Church Fathers who received St. John’s revelations practically from himself. Moreover, there is one key Scripture that blows all of this conjecture away, 1 John 2:22: “Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son.” On the contrary, and quite the opposite Hillary and Obama, Trump is getting bolder and bolder in pointing the country toward God and Jesus Christ by name. Rather than crushing Christian freedom, he has passed laws to defend religious freedom (did y’all forget that?). Rather than pushing for a new world order, Trump is a nationalist. Rather than embracing the truly anti-Gospel and anti-christ platform of the Democrats, he is fighting to restore the original understanding of the Constitution. Trump is no saint; but he’s done more than any President in memory to bring Jesus Christ back into the dialogue of politics. No Antichrist would do this, that is, not in this way. Rather, the Antichrist will water down the divinity of Christ. There’s so much more I can say, but who’s listening here?
Look, if someday Trump denies Christ and “exalts himself above every so-called god and object of worship, so as to seat himself in the temple of God, claiming that he is a god” (2 Thess 2:4), perhaps I’ll come back to your site and try not to chuckle (I’m sorry, I’m not being disrespectful, just honest).
On the other hand, the case for Obama is much stronger given his Marxists roots, moral relativism, and the way the entire world ogled after him, even declaring on one news cast that he was “President of the whole world” and was compared to Jesus, Moses, and called the Messiah. People wept and passed out when they saw him. And the media worshipped everything he said. Just sayin’.
Very nicely said. It should be pretty obvious but as you can see this audience is blinded to the truth. The blog is not really written for the stated purpose but rather to galvanize anti-Trump support. It worked.

Thank you Dear God!
But TЯ☠️m₽ does fit the description(s) of the Beast in Revelation 13.
whats even more crazy he throws up illumanti symbols like crazy during his speeches now i watched some and seen all the symbols back to back to back. he no greater then those opposition of him. there all the same they all lead masses to worship the fallen. if you vote then you accept the fallen.
Trump is definitely the antichrist. He needs to be defeated and booted off our continent. Let him go fulfill prophecy in the Middle East.
I believe he would feel much more comfortable living with Putin. Birds of a feather..
To be honest, I haven’t visited ‘ Happy-Clappy Central’ since li’l Moses went sailing; but for me this liar reminds me more – despite this brilliantly perceptive and thoughtful article – of a shorn and blinded Samson who destroys the ‘ temple’. But then what do I know? Personally I had the Catholic Church down as an anti-Christ. And the 2020 updated Axis Of Evil? Ginger Judas, bumbling Barr the Ewok and turkey-skin, McConnell. Tomorrow I should shuffle down to my nearest centre of guilt, instead I plan to blaze-up and drink many cups of tea. Shalom, or something like that. Trust y’all in rude health, warm and safe. For my legion of sins I have provided my email details – eagerly look forward to them all. Mucho, muchos gracias.
Quote of the day for those godless souls on this site:
President Dwight Eisenhower stated, “Without God there could be no American form of government, nor an American way of life. Recognition of the Supreme Being is the first the most basic expression of Americanism. Thus the Founding Fathers of America saw it, and thus with God’s help it will continue to be.”
Just because someone claims to believe in God, doesn’t make them a true Christian.
Christ said: “Who is my mother, my sisters, my brothers?
Those who do the will of my Father.”
I have yet to see TЯ☠️m₽ do even one thing which Our Lord Jesus Christ commanded.

Thank you Benjamin for this post. Even for non believers it is a concise portfolio of his despicable behavior. For believers, it should be a frightening “ah ha” moment.
That’s the problem. It is an ant-Trump blog clothed in bible prophecy aimed at generating comments which it has done. The President’s behavior is not despicable in any form or fashion except when misinterpreted by Leftists.
wow this is interesting stuff… i wonder what the hebrew bible says about the topic. (makes me wanna read it). also makes me wonder if theres an ANTI- antichrist (like if theres a villian, theres should also be a hero OR something like that)
(some of the points that were made also reminded me of few other countries that also have many religions, different languages and races XD )
when Tr**p tweeted that he was the king of the jews… i was so angry that he said it. it literally goes against god teachings (in every religion)
i think the part about rumors from the east and west is not only in its own country but also worldwide.
funny thing that news want to figure out why ppl have vivid or weird dreams, when most ppl had vivid and weird dreams for years upon years, but they blame the virus loool
I am not convinced that DT is the Antichrist, and am leaning toward Rome or that region, but I have always maintained that DT’s methodology should be taken seriously, and the template of deceit and hatred that he adheres to are the hallmarks of the Adversary. And yes, many “Christians” will never see it coming …
What is the satanic deceit and hatred that President Trump adheres to please?
wow… perfectly said…
i’d like to offer you all the link to a document that i’ve been working on since DT was elected; i have some discoveries that you might find elnalightening

Lol, I’m sorry, but you guys are wild. You are talking about the end times and Trump being the antichrist, and following along with the stories in a 2,000 year old book about the end of the world, fighting over interpretations and trying desperately to make reality fit your worldviews versus changing those views to fit reality. If any of you educated yourselves on the fundamentals of logic and informal fallacies, you would see how many missteps in logic are required to come to any of these conclusions.
People have been predicting the end for as long as their have been people, and designing their own narratives for how it is to occur based on their culture, religion, etc. You go on about Trump thinking he is above god and what not, and you haven’t stopped to think that just believing that you could possibly be lucky enough to witness the end of everything is absurdly egocentric.
There is a whole vast universe out there, guys, and it cares not about the puny plights of man.
The oldest bible is the Codex Sinaiticus at about 400 AD, the Sumerian text are dated at 3000 BC, much of which the bible is taken from. The difference between the two are simply the origin of god, the Sumerians claim the gods are extraterrestrial while the bible claims god to be some old geezer with white hair, beard and a bad attitude.
Making comments about God from the bible like you did shows you have not read it.
Hilarious…reached out so many times to stretch this…skipped the fact that if you don’t have the mark of the beast you can’t buy or sell…maga hats don’t do that…however, Islam has marks on forehead and right hands…also Jared Kushner would be able to show himself as the “messiah” cause he is Jewish and knows Israeli Prime Minister. You skipped so much of the bible…and fortresses…not border walls…this is the laziest research done known to man…you grasped at straws. Kim Clement prophesied years before about Trump…winning election, impeachment, and said he will win 2 terms. He won’t be a praying man when he enters white house but when he leaves he will be.
You really missed about 98% of the Bible in stretching this out.
For the record, No buy or sell without a mark happened…no false prophet…no 2 witnesses…no 144,000 male, virgin Jews…I mean it is like you read a synopsis of the Bible and then wrote an article to fit what you wanted.
I didn’t and won’t vote for Trump, but this is the most disgusting twisting of scripture and blatant hate filled drivel I have ever read. It’s quite frankly embarrassing and is borne of bitterness, not biblical understanding.

180 000+ dead Americans and Trump doesn’t even give a shit.
All this creature cares about is getting re-elected….so he can do it all over again.
This is what a college degree amounts to: GARBAGE! We can easily place most world leaders to Benjamin descriptions here. Here’s some truth: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1oOS7MVzQg TRUMP/PENCE 2020 (AND NO he (PRESIDENT TRUMP) ISN’T AND NEVER COULD BE THE LAWLESS ONE (THE ANTI-CHRIST). THE RESTRAINER (HOLY SPIRIT) MUST BE REMOVED (RAPTURE) BEFORE he (the antichrist) will be REVEALED.
Well, the children of America can no longer look up to their “leaders.” The evangelical parents who supported crime and criminals will suffer the wrath of their children, the future criminals of America. When their children are living in their basements, the parents can content themselves that they stood up for “conservative values” and stuck it to the progressives. When the nation needed them, the parents of the criminal children can content themselves with knowing that their children don’t have to associate with “other” people. When you bring up your children to lie, cheat and steal, you will get what you deserve. When your children go out to party without masks during the pandemic and bring the virus home, you will get what you have given.
Children today do not look up to their leaders in general; rather rock stars who are mostly drug addicted with too much money and too little brains and sports figures.
Evangelical parents are no less successful parents than Progressive parents. The difference is that children of Evangelicals do learn about right and wrong.
Most people in the country are wearing masks. Not everyone is convinced they are helpful. It is obvious that the virus is spreading throughout the world and no man or country has any control over it; case in point is Sweden.
Evidence Shows Herd Immunity Is Not Working In Sweden…the rates of infection, hospitalization, and death per million population were “much” higher in Sweden, according to evidence cited. Also, infections and death remained persistent, … Denmark, Finland and Norway. Their “rapid lockdown measures seem to have been initially more successful in curtailing the infection surge.The “Swedish experience” of attempting to achieve this, compared to other Nordic countries’ responses, resulted in much higher numbers of infections and deaths per capita, also to a prolonged outbreak. Far fewer Swedes than predicted generated antibodies to the coronavirus, the strategy failed to generate widespread protective immunity.
According to Dr. Fauci and other top epidemiologists and virologist. Herd immunity should only be attempted if we had a Vaccine in place.
I saw first hand when news reporters asked teenagers, college students, adults, on Florida Beaches why they weren’t wearing masks, their answers were…”Why should I, the president don’t wear a mask” or “the president says it’s no big deal”
HUH?????
The unfortunate result of FAKE News from all media sources is that some people believe the lies that spout forth hourly.
Let’s see the FAKE News try to spin the Abraham accord that President Trump achieved after 70 years of previous failures. This monumental achievement will result in the Nobel Peace Prize because it cannot be minimized, hidden or criticized.
Nobel Peace Prize? How did that work out in 2018? LOL
Woodward’s tapes tells it all..
Interesting. This is what I believe we see in Trump and where we are in the end times coming to pass; 1. America=Babylon the Great (Rev 18). 2. The Whore of Babylon/America rides in on “The Beast” and is NOT the Beast. 3. Jesus said “When you see the ‘Abomination of desolation” in the ‘holy place’ and ‘the place it does not belong’ hen let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains’ 4. The Beast is the one who destroys Babylon the whore. Trump is the abomination. America is Babylon & her plagues are upon us (see Rev 18:8. Pestilence, mourning, famine, FIRE). America will burn soon because the church lifted up the abomination in the holy place. The Beast will rise from the ashes. IDK who the Beast is (resurrection of the Holy Roman Empire?). The anti-Christ could be the same as the abomination, but, I don’t know. I believe the Lord has shown me these things. Coming up next; The Rapture/Desolation of Babylon. Rev 18:4 is not just a call out of the sins of the Whore (she’s the Apostate church, Fox Fake News & the Republikkklan, and all the unbelievers who live for porn, greed, lust, etc) but a call of God UP & OUT of there. God only knows how long this #TrumpAbomination will last, but, until then, keep looking up for our redemption draws near. Luke 21:28
Interestingly enough, if you go by the old 10 month Roman calendar which was most likely in use at the time of the original writing, 40 months would be 4 years…
I’m trying to take this post with a grain of salt. People toss around everything casually nowadays. Jesus’ words get turned into idioms where “go the extra mile” means somebody in Customer Service did something nice. Or a “good Samaritan” is, well, again, someone who did something nice for a stranger. But Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan isn’t at all about being nice.
But, the grain of salt gets smaller and smaller as I consider how the Drumpf (the original German family name) administration gets called the most “pro-life”, the most “pro-Black”, the most “evangelical” ever.
It is frightening to see how his supporters act and speak. I recall how he said on a conference call in April that he is the best president in the history of the Catholic church. Yet, during the campaign, a journalist asked if he would share a couple of his favorite verses from the Bible, since he said it was a favorite book. Drumpf said he “[didn’t] want to get into that; it’s personal; it’s private” What? Drumpf couldn’t even say “Rejoice always” or “Pray constantly” or even “Jesus wept”??
I can no longer call them Christians; I call them Christofacists. I have so many questions, but I cannot ask Drumpf’s supporters, because I get called names, there is no dialogue. I’m just hoping people get out and vote that man out of office, because he does not deserve a second term.
I have never seen on TV or in print where President Trump is called the most pro-Black or most Evangelical. It is easy to be called the most pro-Life when the alternative is baby killing.
Trump believes in the freedom of religion and that he is a friend of organized religions. His support of religion includes The Little Sisters of the Poor for example who were treated shamefully by the previous administration.
As to quoting the bible, most Catholics cannot do that. Unlike most protestant sects, Catholics do not read the bible in general. Their exposure to the bible in at Mass when the priest reads from the Gospels or Epistles.
As most on this site, you may be confusing the the role of the President with that of the Pope. Think of it this way, the Pope could not get elected to run our country nor could our President be the leader of a large religion. The jobs are very different as are the qualifications.
I have no problem at all discerning that the POTUS is POTUS and the Bishop of Rome is the Pope.
Look on YouTube and you will find a video entitled “Trump meets with pastors, is called pro-black by pastor from Ohio.” I did not name Drumpf as such, that pastor did.
In an interview before he stepped down as president of Liberty University, Jerry Falwell Jr. said “I think Evangelicals have found their dream president.”
As far as abortion is concerned, no, the other alternative is not baby killing. A man can stop having sex and stop getting women pregnant; a man can get a vasectomy; a man can resolve to be a good father; a man can butt out and keep quiet regarding what a woman does with her life; a church (run by men, such as the Catholic church is, can help support a woman who chooses to carry a pregnancy to term, a church can be a voice in easing the restrictions on the complicated adoption process. I have barely scratched the surface.
Absurd. If you are here when the Antichrist comes you will not recognize him because the bible says that even the elect will be deceived. He will be admired and loved by all. Trump IS NOT admired nor loved by all, so that alone negates your assessment. Also, if Trump was the Antichrist the Temple would be built by now since 3.5 years into the tribulation he goes into the Temple and demands worship. We are 4 years into Trump’s presidency. You can not pick and choose scripture to support your theory. It is the WHOLE counsel of God means cover to cover.
An excellent response. This blog shows the interest in the subject is quite large. Many people have responded because they think it is anti-Trump, but it also may encourage some to actually read the bible.
He left out that the Beast will be on TV, Revelations 13:15.
Ur many titles n much learning has made u spiritually OBTUSE! I’ve studied the Word for 29yrs, each doctrine in depth, n then put them to practice.At the beginning of ur article u were spot on ! When u deviated t o Trump then I knew u were not all there…! Hint:Trump had been prophesied many yrs before HE KNEW HE WOULD RUN FOR PRES. God still let’s prophets know about His plans in a measure….all ur brainpower for nought…!
Didn’t read the whole thing .. the Whole idea depresses me but did you mention the the fact the Red GOP elephant is a Scarlet beast or that the kids being persecuted in cages at the boarder are christian?

hint from 666 that prompted a constructive criticism there
the horns of the lamb and Trump’s star
the first comment (hint from 666)
Given the value of “apocalypse” is abstracted from the original name of the book of Revelation, it’s a hint that Trump’s name can be associated to the one figure similarly abstracted from its context in that text. The simplest to evidence it is to code it in Python.
Python 3.8.(...)
>>> Nero = b' DONALD JOHN TRUMP! '
>>> print(Nero)
b' DONALD JOHN TRUMP! '
>>> sum(c - min(Nero) for c in Nero)

the second comment (horns of the lamb)
Interesting. The version of the Bible used for the quotes is missing. This strikes me for instance at verse Rev 13:11-12 quoted as
“And then I saw a second beast come from the Earth who looked like a lamb but spoke like a dragon… and it deceived the inhabitants of the Earth…”
where the “looked like a lamb” replaces a more specific detail usually given, that allows purchasing from the fact of the lamb being a namesake of God’s own emissary in Revelation (eg convention from context) to in turn identify Trump with more parsimony than the author does, by just exhibiting Trump’s walk-of-fame star, including the conspicuous TV icon.

(KJV)
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
The mention of fire coming down from Heaven in turn admits linking to the signature line of Trump’s original reality TV show: you are fired!
(Meanwhile, the objection to resolving turn of phrases in Revelation by puns in languages that evolved way after it was written, is easy enough to counter)

Yup. The evangelicals elected the antichrist.
And worse, they might just do it again.
Sloth? Probably not.
He got the Jerry Falwell Jr. part wrong though, imo. I think the “religious leader” who’s helping Trump win his second term is “Q” not Falwell.
I think you are spritually blind. Do not just read the Bible with your limited knowledge, pray God to have wisdom and discernment. Trump is the one annointed by God to fight against shadow government. You are acting like anti Christ.
You are correct. The massive amount of people and organizations fighting against this President is the proof of that. For example: NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, Washington Post, all major newspapers vs. Fox News and Talk Radio. Yet this Media Establishment has failed at every turn such that they have become the joke.
I’m sure Jesus would have been thrilled to know about all the children in cages at the border who died under Trump’s reign.
“Pro-life” my ass.
In my humble opinion: your religion your opiate is overrated. Celebrate all life, glory in cultures and customs the astound us then lead us to posterity.
ONLY siths deal in absolutes! Religions like languages are all equal, serve a human and humane purpose sans threats, fear-monger, violence, bigotry etc which do not bode well in the human pyche
The quantums of human nature is that people dream; see pasts presents and futures, where time and dimensions is immaterial. It’s only natural, we can exist in such multi-dimensions because everyone, everything, emanated from the event singularity. Mmmhh, Singularity… if this be your god, so be it. if its sci-fi, you still cool

Lol, what a hilarious stretch of the imagination and extreme distortion of scripture. How did you manage to pick which 7 of the 33 trump hotels you would use to represent the “7 mountains?” Nice stretch on the head wound too, you shift from literal to figurative interpretations pretty fluidly, makes distorting the word very easy. Trump was not a man of contempt before he ran for president.
This article is a joke and you are a joke and let me guess, Trump’s pro-life stance is anti Christian
You mentioned a war with the south, Trump is overwhelmingly supported by hispanics.
You mention separating families, a product of the obama administration. Trump has been saving these children from be exploited and trafficked.
Every president ever has been regarded as the antichrist in some form or another and you pick the pro-life antiwar president that endorses family values. I am sure you are nothing more than a sell out christian that think everyone goes to heaven, transgenderism is just fine, and left wing violence is a good thing.
You are a false prophet and you know it.
And one more thing, watch Trump’s easter speech where he CLEARLY states “Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and as Christians on Easter Sunday we will celebrate His glorious resurrection.”
The antichrist would NEVER LET THOSE WORDS COME OUT OF HIS MOUTH.
LoL, tru dat and the faithful bretherens installed the incumbent because the exact same eschatological fear mongering interpretations fit former 44th. Barack Hussein Obama. Pres. Obama was the abomination that causes the desecration blah blah blah.
I am inclined to believe anything BUT HIM being the antichrist just by how hard the propaganda machine and KNOWN liars are working to undermine him.
this also assumes that supporting a political candidate means worshipping a false idol, which is ABSOLUTELY ABSURD….
i like Donald Trump, I worship Jesus Christ.
But I’m sure you are probably a big Bill Gates enthusiast too and will be the first in line for you ID chip.
If Trump mandates chips or vaccines I will turn on him immediately and am ready to die in service of my lord REGARDLESS of whose president.
You people are sick.
It appears that you like Jesus Christ and Worship Donald Trump. sad..

So he is saying we are already in the tribulation. For the 3 1/2 years to be here already. Wait, which means the church, christians, have already been raptured out of here. I am still here. Pretty sure that had not happened yet. Not to mention that America is not the center of these things. Israel, Jerusalem, the Temple Mount where antichrist sets up shop is not in America either. Got a few holes in your thinking. Antichrist will be someone charismatic that will charm the world. Donald Trump is not a charmer. He says stupid things all the time. Antichrist is supposed to be someone people will believe he is the messiah they have be looking for all these years. Donald Trump is no messiah, sorry Don, you don’t fit the prophecy!
Christians are not suppose to look for antichrist because we are suppose to know our Savior so well that we could not be fooled. Just like people that know counterfeit money not because they studied the counterfeit but because they studied and know the real money so well that the fake doesn’t pass the test. Perhaps everyone should be studying Christ and His life, so when a fake comes along you won’t be dubbed into believing he is the messiah. Because, Christ already came over 2000 years ago. This time when Christ comes we, Christians, will meet Him in the air and be with Him in Heaven. The second coming of Christ, when He actually steps foot on earth again, will be after the 7 years of tribulation, which will be much worse than the world is right now. Christ will reign physically in Jerusalem in His temple for 1000 years. So the people who made it through the tribulation will be alive and will marry, have children, live their lives. But with one different, you disobey God in this time period Jesus wil deal with you immediately.
God is extremely patient and tolerant with us now. He gives us amble chances to accept His only son, Jesus, as Savior, because Jesus willing went to the cross to die for our sins, so that we may live with Him in paradise forever. All that is required of us is that we believe in what Jesus did for us. He proved He is God by rising from the grave. No other god has ever done that. We only need to acknowledge we are a sinner and we need a Savior. Accepting Christ as your Savior is the only way to heaven. And trust me, Jesus is coming for His church very, very soon! Please be ready for Him!
Your point about charming the whole world is something everyone else has missed.
A couple of years ago, I started to re-read the Book of Revelation. I saw that the Anti-Christ would rise in or from the East. Well, I’m in the U.S., and EAST of this entire country is New York. I actually was convinced before then, but that’s all I had to read in the Bible for confirmation.
I always KNEW that the Orange Turd was evil. Thank you for letting the world know that Trump is the Antichrist. I wish I could convince my evangelical friends that the Orange Turd is the evil Antichrist
You can’t. We are too busy defeating the unholy alliance of Biden-Harris while supporting the greatest President in history.
he’ll go down as the worst POTUS in history. And you? You’re on the wrong side of that book.
Me and 70 million other voters this time around. Thank Portland, Seattle and Chicago for that result. When the media tells you that Republican women are going to vote against Trump they are dreaming. Actually, moderate Democrat women are going to vote Trump because they value their children’s safety over all else.
I don’t recall the Bible specifically saying anything about one antichrist, but just referring to “antichrist” (not “the” antichrist) whereby those who are not WITH Christ are against him and therefore anti-Christ. Either way you interpret that, Trump is definitely NOT with Christ. He can’t even quote a favorite scripture from the Bible.
And you know that how?
What is the fruit of the spirit?
Galatians 5:22-23
New International Version
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.
Trump does bear these fruit…. He also doesn’t seek God’s forgiveness. this is an essential part of being a follow of Christ.
You Will Know Them by Their Fruits
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
I spoke too soon. The thread here is just full of Trumphumping. True to form, not ONE of them even read the article. The cult stranglehold is as strong as the racism and hatred for anyone not in lockstep with that pathetic mindset. The mean-spiritedness is the worst bit. According to the Bible, these Trumpbots will have to answer for all the seeking hearts shut down by their angry, hateful ways. They have, collectively, all morphed into mini Trump’s and that is just really, really pitiable.
As one who was raised in the Belly of the Beast aka evangelicali$m, my faith was quashed until I became the soloist at a ELCA Lutheran Church in 2014 and realized there WERE actual folks living with hearts like Christ’s who embraced my more liberal-leaning politics. Being the VICTOR over a sexual assault by a world renowned “evangelist” and not being believed by my own family virtually ended my affiliation with their cult. Worse still, was the fact that the so-called ministry not only acknowledged the attack but tried to BUY MY SILENCE! It ushered in such a crisis of faith that it took me 45 YEARS to enter a church again. I was 15 years old and already sufficiently astute (and intellectually gifted) enough to see the Republican right for what it was -and WASN’T- as well as where it was headed. I predicted all of this as early as 1973 but everyone thought I was nuts. “America will never become THAT.” And, yet…here we are. Although still agnostic, as I read this well-researched piece, I felt a -dare I say- quickening in my spirit. I signed up for the emails because, I guess one orphaned at 15 is always searching for one’s “tribe?” Anyway, I’m writing a book. Penetrating this cult mentality is a bear of a feat but I feel I simply MUST try for the ones who will be floundering WHEN *45 and his minions go to prison.
I have empathy for what you endured but your issues stem from some man and his Church in your past. How exactly does Presidential politics exacerbate your current situation?
Because, as was that pastor a sexual predator, so is the Orange-Pig.
TЯ卐m₽ is the one accused of several forced molestations, stalking underage girls (which the Orange-Pig bragged about) and RAPE, including the rape of a 13-year old child.

But you can figure that out.
I applaud your courage but what I have observed in life is He always comes around and brings us back to our first love, something trumpers have never experienced.
This first Love is the deepest knowledge where “husband & wife” share one another intimately.
Once you have tasted it you may go on a lifetime of amazing journeys and when it is time he will come and find you and quicken you.
You belong to Abba.
I suspect He is opening you.
This is what they can’t imitate.
And it drives them nuts.
Remember me next time you share an intimate moment with your first love. Think of me when Jesus embraces you, as you let him wash and heal all that 45 years of self exile wrought.
I am divorced from the church because I can’t play games.
Most of the real followers of Jesus were already gone when I left,
Be well and “Be who you is, cause if you ain’t who you is, then you is who you ain’t.”
Very creative prooftexting.
One definitive thing it conveniently negates: Jesus’ words to those worried about others doing things of the Kingdom in his name, “Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined” (Matt. 12;25)
– highest admonition not to kill, Democrats advocating what has resulted in over 65 million deaths of unborn children, on demand, through 9 months of pregnancy and beyond
-religious freedom, Democrats have placed restrictions upon even religious orders to act against biblically established principles
-Democrats weaponizing terms such as racism and sexism
-Democrats elevating gender confusion to the status how’s it’s on gender… resulting in such absurdities as confused dudes to be in my daughter”s public bathrooms… Not!
-consider where the greatest racial unrest and violence is… 95% cities dominantly run by Democrats… Their iconic cities: Portland, Seattle, L.A.
-the greatest advancement for minorities and women in over 50 years was under Trump administration just prior to the Covid crisis
“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness…” Is. 5:20
Beautifully laid out truth about the state of the Democrat party and what they have done to our country while shouting and lecturing us on their righteousness.
Yet not a word about TЯ卐m₽ being solely responsible for the spread of
Coronavirus in the United States, and the DEATHS of 167,000 already born and breathing Americans!
Scriptural verses concerning the “unborn”
Not born and breathing, not yet a human being with a soul.
• “God breathed into man’s nostrils the Breath of Life
and man became a living soul.” – Genesis 2:7
• “The Spirit of God has made me, and the
Breath of the Almighty gives me life.” – Job 33:4

three and one half years into the antichrist’s reign the antichrist will establish a peace with the Israeli people, well this is coincidental tRump just announced a peace deal with Israel
President Trump did not just announce a “peace deal with Israel” as we are not at war with them.
matthew 13:13
13:14
Very thoughtful and amazingly coincidental descriptions, especially in Daniel, which make a case for the concept of the Anti Christ and how that appears often to describe the ways of Donald Trump. I am not religious, especially along lines of the Judeo Christian and Muslim religions. My revelation is more along Buddhist philosophies, especially Taoism and Zen, but I can’t fault this extremely careful research of Bible and Trump. It is of great interest, but I prefer to keep it simple–all of humanity have original buddha-nature, which is now very “Western” and is not just hidden in the remarkable writings of the East. My personal favorite is from Hinduism, the beginning of eastern philosophy ,”That Art Thou.” The divine is the very flow of the universe, which all is. The human brain was born out of it, a kind of special human disadvantage, for too much figuring often overlooks spirit in favor of concepts!
Read who the reformers said is the antichrist. That’s still the case today
The teaching of christ are of unconditional love of everyone and everything. The antichrist is a hatred of everyone and everything, therefore tRump is a strong candidate for being the antichrist or at least a very evil person.
You sure the second beast isn’t Barr? There were 17 cabinet members at the time of his confirmation. (7 heads and 10 crowns) Barr fixed a mortal wound. He caused fire to come down during the church photo op.
Also I think the fortresses are actual his skyscrapers (which his ancestors could not construct), which he adorns with gold. And the skyscrapers have gift shops, containing jewelry (gold, silver, precious stones) and costly gifts (gucci, perfume, cologne)

awwwwww you poor little ignorant demon can’t understand plutonian? filthy bastard.
No punctuation?
Here’s the thing. While they won’t admit it, the Evalgelicals do not see the Antichrist as evil. His reign of power is a precursor for Armageddon and then second coming of Jesus. That means RAPTURE TIME to them. They don’t have to go through the pain and suffering of dying. They just get to go straight to Heaven. Of course, they don’t care if the rest of the planet is destroyed and billions suffer and die. They’ll be watching the chaos from Heaven, asking Jesus to pass the popcorn.
Yep. This is why they pretend not to believe in global warming, They don’t want anything to stop it, because it’s prophesied in Revelation 16:8–9 (fourth angel pouring bowl / vial of God’s wrath on the sun) along with other environmental catastrophes (oceanic and inland water pollution [especially the sort that leads to “red tide”] prophesied in earlier verses as the second and third angels with bowls / vials) as part of End Times prophecy.
Maybe they should go back a few chapters. In chapter 11, the Four-and-Twenty Elders before the throne of God prostrate themselves before Him and utter both praise to Him and invoke imprecations on the world. In verse 18, this ends with them saying that the time has come that God “… shall destroy them that destroy the Earth”! Obviously this isn’t referring to those angels — why would God destroy His own angels for doing what He commanded them to do?
No, it’s talking about human beings. John knew that nobody at the time would’ve believed a prophecy that human beings would ever have power to do such damage to the Earth. Had he said that outright, the Book of Revelation would never have made it into the New Testament canon. The councils of the 3ʳᵈ Century that assembled the canon would’ve relegated it to the pile of stuff too fanciful even for the Bible, that was basically fanfic like the “Infancy Gospel of Thomas” which has child Jesus playfully striking a playmate dead among other things. So, John (or God) couched it in symbolism of angels and bowls / vials instead of human commerce and industry gone out of control, but he put a hint to the true interpretation and the divine destruction that awaits all who further that devastation of His Creation in 11:18.

Whether the Mango Mussolini is the Anti-Christ or not, one thing is true, he definitely has the same traits as the Anti-Christ, than say as Jesus Christ. The undying support from the Christian Right tells me that Satan is using Trump as a test run, to see how easily it will be to trick and deceive the Christian Right when the real Anti-Christ comes onto the scene.
Now you have slipped into biblical commentary and politics. This may not be your strong suite.
Considering the drivel that you post…..
give it a rest bobby.
You are creating a bad smell.
Ignore Bob Shiloh
He is a deceiving spirit.
It is either a test run, or the full deal meal but
warming in the extreme northern and southern regions is not something that happens every century or so.
The earth is undergoing the early to mid parts of a global climate crisis while American capitalists rejoice at the opening up of new resources.
My wife and I have adopted a wait and see, casual
kind demeanor, as she had resistance to the idea.
Over the last two years she watched as tR* convicted himself over and over.
We still must wait and see, but she says she has seen enough.
I wish I had recorded all of the conversations and arguments we had.
I finally just stepped back and let her drive and voila’.
It’s a full go unless America can pull itself out of the power nose dive, tR* has taken us to.
I think God might allow America to survive, if it can stop the thieves from breaking it to bits
That is the only hope.
It’s a Democracy, if you can keep it.

This is your government
Vanity Fair ran an article by Katherine Eban about how the administration fumbled the ball so badly on its response to the coronavirus pandemic, noting that Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner was the key decision maker in the process, and that his team first set up, and then dropped, a plan for national coordination to fight the virus. They abandoned the plan after Trump began to downplay the virus out of concern that it would hurt his chances for reelection, and because it appeared the virus was largely confined to cities. According to one public health expert who worked with Kushner’s team “The political folks believed that because it was going to be relegated to Democratic states, that they could blame those governors, and that would be an effective political strategy.”

After seeing the lengths idiots in this country will go to defending this orange anus, I’m glad I started my PR in another country. At least there I’ll have access to some kickbacks from my taxes, such as basic healthcare and other such commie things. Good luck, losers. Maybe learn from your mistakes of falling for a used car salesman but after seeing our election cycles, that’s asking far too much.
Shouldn’t a theologian boasting big credentials know to divide God’s Word rightly; which is in Christ Jesus, from beginning (Gn) to end (Rv), not middle to end (e.g. Dn–Rv), especially when making such a ludicrous accusation in a lengthy, published study?
He does but he wants to be provocative and it works: 1142 comments. And on this blog there are so many respondents without a clue about the end times much less the Antichrist. But at least they are trying to play along.
And what are your qualifications to be talking about the Antichrist?
Bible students are always learning; not teaching. Those who would write blogs like this one tell you their qualifications but it doesn’t make their assessments any more accurate.
Okay, let me ask you this: are you one of the Two Witnesses, or have you personally conversed with one or both of them?
Okay, let me ask you this: are you one of the Two Witnesses, or have you personally conversed with one or both of them?
You mean like TV preachers like Hagee, Falwell and Graham do?
You mean like TV preachers like Hagee, Falwell and Graham do?
I see your comments are private indicating a serious lack of confidence in what you post. Why is that?
You apparently know more about them than I do, to ask a question like that.
This is terrific, you’ve really nailed it. I’ve been saying for the last couple of years Trump is the Antichrist, but you have really sealed the deal. Wow. Now, how do we stop him? I don’t think voting can be counted on. I think he is going to do something the steal or rig the election, or refuse to leave after he loses.
If Trump is the Antichrist then he cannot be stopped can he?
Only Lord Jesus, will stop him
The Antichrist has a very defined role to play doesn’t he? I can just imagine Trump scheduling a visit to Jerusalem to visit the Temple ( not yet built ) so he can declare himself
god. Then of course he has to be shot for blasphemy so he can heal himself. And he still has to make it back to DC for the inauguration.
Where in the prophecy does it say he has to be shot? If you’re talking about the mortal head wound of one of the seven heads of the Great Beast, that’s symbolic.
Wounded to death back then; shot to death more likely today.
Nope, That’s a popular Dispensationalist interpretaton from the likes of Tim LaHaye, but it’s not the only or even best interpretation.
No, it’s more likely to be symbolic, as in the Beast or an agent of the Beast about to lose his power and authority (say, losing an election — not just popular vote but electoral allocation as well), yet retains it through some means that shocks the world (say, Faithless Electors in the Electoral College, or an election challenge throws the election to the House of Representatives).
This’d fit the timing, since it’d be close to 3½ years after Trump made the treaty with Israel to acknowledge Jerusalem instead of Tel Aviv as the capital and to move our embassy there. Remember that? Your side was ecstatic about that as I recall. But even LaHaye said that the Tribulation wouldn’t officially begin until Israel made a treaty with the Beast. The head wound thing according to most interpretations on your side happens during the period between the Tribulation and Great Tribulation, so roughly 3½ years (“a time, two times, and half a time”).
I’m not sure America, will survived to see all of prophecy God has written unless it’s Gods will?, I feel this country has 1 to 2 more years,America must be removed out of the way in order for a World to accept a new currency. The Mark of the Beast will be a one World currency, that can’t happen unless the US Dollar falls over 30 countries already accept US currency. The UK is in a recession, if the US is removed, the World economy will be affected in a major way. What you say might very well happen if Trump is the Antichrist he will sooner, rather than later make the rebuilt Third Temple his headquarters Matthew 24:15
Scholars have been studying that for a long time Revelation 13:3 the passage itself comes with controversy and has been widely taken out of context,many don’t believe the Antichrist will be shot in the head. The fact that the Bible clearly says “One of his heads” not his head. Unless the Antichrist will have some type of deformity and have two or more heads on his shoulders, this does not mean his physical head. I believe One of his Heads” is referring to one of the kingdoms of the Antichrist. One of his Kingdoms will be mortally wounded or destroyed but will rise again in the time of the end that will stun the World and they will then follow him as they will see him as unstoppable.Revelation 13:1, I believe one of these major empires in the future will take a mortal wound, or it will look as if it is completely destroyed but it will rise again from its ruins and will become even greater as it will be ruled by the Beast. Revelation 17:10-14
“Then I stood on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast rising up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads a blasphemous name.” – Revelation 13:1
“There are also seven kings. Five have fallen, one is, and the other has not yet come. And when he comes, he must continue a short time. The beast that was, and is not, is himself also the eighth, and is of the seven, and is going to perdition. “The ten horns which you saw are ten kings who have received no kingdom as yet, but they receive authority for one hour as kings with the beast. These are of one mind, and they will give their power and authority to the beast. These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful.” – Revelation 17:10-14
Magog…Maga
kind of close and considering the time frame I’d say, spot on.
Yes. And I understand that anyone wearing MAGA hats get raptured this week before the tribulation begins.
Good riddance to them and wouldn’t that mean tRump is the antichrist?
Yes. Who would have thought an obscure real estate developer from Queens would be the one. I hear that in his multi-million dollar condos he has portals that connect directly to Hades for impromptu sacrifice ceremonies with the rich and famous.
Thank you for your response to my question of tRump being the antichrist, to which you answered “Yes”.
After reading some of your posts I realize that the old adage of “one man’s heaven is another man’s hell” applies here. I do hope you are correct in that this week the followers of tRump will be gone (rapture) so the rest of us may live in the decadence of compassion and unconditional love for all.
There will be no rapture, that myth was created in the 1800’s.
I see my humor escaped you.

I am honestly amazed.
Trump is the beast. Kushner is the antichrist, who according to prophesy will be born of a Jewish woman.
What scripture says that the antichrist will be born of a Jewish woman?
For those of you who are defending Trump & claiming he has never called the coronavirus a hoax, you’re just as delusional as he is. Trump is a racist rapist & he berates women & those who disagree with him. He calls people childish names on Twitter & on video all the time. Anyone who supports him & his racist ways should be ashamed of themselves. Even now, because of the way Trump has been handling the pandemic, Republicans are voting outside of their own party. Trump has repeatedly retweeted QAnon conspiracy theories which has only added fuel to their fire. Anyone who believes that the country is being lead by “satanic-worshipping pedophiles” & that there’s a “deep state” that’s out to get Trump, have seriously lost their freaking minds & need to seek professional help immediately. Open your damn eyes, turn off Fox News & see what is truly happening in our country! Trump has sent his “SS troops” to Portland & they’re kidnapping protesters, putting them in unmarked civilian vehicles, not identifying themselves, wearing makeshift patches that say police, using LRAD which is being used as a sonic weapon, beating people with their batons who are actually following orders to leave the area, flash bangs, tear gas, rubber bullets which are “KE’s Kinetic Energy rounds” & they aren’t made with rubber anymore they actually have metal just like regular bullets. A freelance photographer was actually blinded in one eye because an officer actually aimed at her face close up & shot her. There is video of it actually happening. Peaceful protesters, reporters, photographers, children & other innocents have had these controversial weapons used on them. Trump ordered the national guard, secret service & police to use force to remove peaceful protesters so he could use St. John’s church for a photo OP. Even the minister was removed from her church by force! Trump is NOT a “holy man or Christ-like”! HE IS THE EPITOME OF EVIL! My cousin is a priest & even he believes Trump is an evil person. What he did at the church was blasphemous & anyone who thinks otherwise is not a true Christian. After some of the comments I’ve read, I think some of you need to reread the article & actually think about what you’ve read. Those whose eyes are open & see Trump for what he truly is are the ones who will make a difference in November & help remove him from the White House. Resisters unite & we can end the horrors & our country can start to heal. 🌊🌊🌊
This s not persuasive nor well thought out. It comes off as blind rage based on personal opinion. Most of the people on this site agree with some of your rantings so you are really preaching to the choir. However, if the Democrats are brought back to power your life will forever change to the worst imaginable nightmare that you are worrying about now.
On the other hand a good stiff drink may help you to whether the depression you are about to feel when President Trump is re-elected.
Give me a freaking break! I’ve read your comments & you’re just like all the other Trump loving cult followers & QAnon idiots. Y’all think that Democrats are satan worshipping evildoers & that the country will be destroyed if a Democrat becomes president. Trump has done so much damage to this country that it’s going to take years to undo what he’s done. He’s bullied our allies & called them childish names, so much so that he’s pushed them away. He admires Putin & Kim Jong Un & has said that there are “very fine people, on both sides” talking about white supremacists. He’s called Mexicans rapists & murderers & put children in cages. He called black people deplorable, lazy, sons of bitches etc… He called BLM a hate group & sent his troops to remove protesters by force. Since you’re so concerned about the Democrats taking back the White House & it being a nightmare, maybe you should pour yourself a nice stiff drink. Trump has done nothing but divide us & go golfing. I’m looking forward to a real president taking office, not some racist reality show star.
Good luck with your delusions.
If you had proof of any of these Fake News items you mention then you would have a point or two. But you don’t. They don’t exist. You are repeating the Fake News propaganda that breeds on mainstream Media.
Perhaps you can prove me wrong with fact. “He called black people deplorable, lazy, sons of bitches etc.” Where can we all see that quote to show you know anything of what you have said?

Congratulations. You get the Jim Acosta award for Fake News! Trumps never said that comment about Laziness. It was from an unidentified person who said Trump said that. As I told you before, “You are repeating the Fake News propaganda that breeds on mainstream Media.” This is something that Fox News never does.
You seriously think Fox News never deceives?
When Republican politicians got caught doing Bad Things, Fox News on multiple occasions identified them as Democrats:
Or even when a Republican merely dared to go up against the One whom Fox News anointed:
Once might be a typo ([R] is kinda close to [D] on a standard keyboard — different rows, but it’s possible for it to be a typo) but they did it repeatedly (not just with those three but others as well — you can only embed a limited number of media in a Disqus comment). Also, you can’t explain this as a mere typo:
I could also show you things like how they deliberately altered the faces of journalists and others in Photoshop to make them look more Jewish (as if that was somehow evil — hmmm… who else tried to make Jews out to be evil?). Or how they used footage from a much more crowded event in Florida to claim that it was enthusiastic crowds at a Bush event in Madison, WI (that one was exposed when people noticed the palm trees in “Wisconsin”!).
But even those pale in comparison to the sheer blatant dishonesty of — well, to put this in perspective, you know the Bible story of King David’s son Absolom, whom David loved but who turned against him and tried to usurp the throne? Well, imagine if television and video editing existed back then. Absolom has working on his behalf a group of propagandists who’ve formed the highest rated TV news network, named after a species of long-eared desert fox indigenous to the Middle East called a fennec (they chose that imagery because it symbolized their supposed ability to hear all that went on in the kingdom. They hit on the idea of trying to make David appear to be an atheist or even anti-theist, instead of being the rightful king anointed by Samuel, the prophet of the Lᴏʀᴅ God of Israel, making him out to be one who wants to destroy God!
Well, the Fennec News Channel (FNC) sends a news crew including videographer to David’s inaugural readings of each Psalm after he writes them. In this case it’s Psalm #14 (or maybe #53). When the videographer brings back the raw recorded video, the host of one of their most popular opinion shows, whom we’ll call, oh, say, “Hannitiah,” doth seeth a golden opportunity. He prepares a video clip with just the second clause of the first sentence of the first verse, having chopped off the first clause which establishes proper context.
That night on the Hannitiah show:
Of course, the real-world Sean Hannity of the real-world Fox News Channel has never and would never do anything like that, right?
Oh, wait…
These are just a few of a great many examples I could show you. Fox News was designed from its founding by Roger Ailes to be a propaganda arm of the GOP. He practically said so.
_______________
¹ Unlike Obama, but like both Sarah Palin (YouTube Video ID: “iwkb9_zB2Pg”) and Rafæl Eduardo “Ted” Cruz (“Bj1DE-Mjffw”), King David actually was anointed so “Hannitiah” was more justified in mockingly calling him that than Hannity was to call Obama that.
Fox News is not a propaganda machine for the GOP now. There are many hosts openly hostile to Trump. That’s why they say fair and balanced.
CNN on the other hand is a propaganda machine for the Democrats with a malignant Trump bias.
Hannity and Carlson are now the number one night time shows across cable and the TV networks.
Popularity ≠ trustworthiness nor quality. The Yugo was arguably the worst production car ever made, but it way outsold the Rolls Royce or Bentley, Which was better quality?
Show me actual examples of CNN (or MSNBC for that matter) doing anything even remotely equivalent to what I just showed.
Do you even know where the term “Fake News” came from and what it originally meant? I do.
I’m no Trump fan at all, but that People Magazine quote is a hoax. Trump was never even interviewed by People Magazine that year, that quote appears nowhere in any interview with People Magazine nor anywhere else, and he has never been shown to have said that quote in any other context.
One that’s close to that sentiment is a third-hand account: Elizabeth Spiers, former Editor-in-Chief of the New York Observer, recounted a conversation she had with Jared Kushner who had just bought out the Observer in which she asked him why Trump believed in Birtherism:
She later conceded that it was possible that Kushner was lying to her in defense of Trump, apparently thinking that making him out to be evil instead of stupid was better. Spiers herself is a well respected person and I have no reason to doubt her account.
This is a little extra news about Fox News; a Real News organization:
Boycotted. Criticized. But Fox News Leads the Pack in Prime Time.
Led by Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity, the channel’s pro-Trump lineup outranked every network from 8 to 11 p.m. in June and July.
In June and July, Fox News was the highest-rated television channel in the prime-time hours of 8 to 11 p.m. Not just on cable. Not just among news networks. All of television. The average live Fox News viewership in those hours outstripped cable rivals like CNN, MSNBC and ESPN, as well as the broadcast networks ABC, CBS and NBC, according to Nielsen.

All you have to do is watch any of the several videos that exist & you’ll have your proof. When Kaepernick was taking a knee during the anthem & other black players started doing the same, Trump called them all sons of bitches. If you’d actually watch something other than Fox News or get on Twitter & view the dozens of video clips of Trump, you’d see what Trump has said about different ethnic groups. The pics of quotes from Trump I replied with are just a small number of things he’s said. You’re obviously one of those Trump cult followers who don’t pay attention to anything negative about Trump & enjoy trying to engage people in drawn out bullshit. How about you show proof of Trump being a great leader & human being. Only QAnon idiots & as your precious Trump puts it the “uneducated” & Republicans, “because they believe everything on Fox News”, believe Trump is a great leader & does no wrong. Pull your head out of your ass & open your eyes. Can’t say it’s been a pleasure conversing with you. Goodbye & good luck
The black NFL elitist millionaires who take a knee during the Anthem deserve to be called out and President Trump will do it again if this abhorrent behavior continues.
Grow Up. The people who understand what is going on with the Democrat socialist movement are going to re-elect President Trump in a landslide.

Spoken like a cult member of the Orange Death Cult. You really need not say anymore, we know what you are. Facts to Orange Death Cult members are similar to sunlight to Vampires. They must be avoided.
If that were true you would have some facts to share with us. But you don’t just hysterical invective and childish tantrums.
Time to update this again. With stores no longer handing over coins it looks like we’re heading for that cashless society.
This is one of the best arguments for Trump being the AntiChrist.

Yes Trump is evil, and a jerk. One problem though: Daniel never mentions anti-Christ. According to the New Testament, an anti-Christ is a preacher that claims that Jesus was an entirely spiritual being without a material body. Trump could be an evil Antiochus of the book of Daniel, and/or an evil Beast 666 Emperor Nero of the Book of Revelation, but there are always details that doesn’t fit. It is actually more clarifying to explain that Trump is a malicious narcissist with ADHD.
Perhaps you mean the Beast and the False Prophet are evil. President Trump may be a jerk to you as you are to us but not evil.
Name one redeeming quality which TЯ卐m₽ possesses.
Name one Christ-like characteristic that TЯ卐m₽ has ever exhibited in his entire miserable, blasphemous, vindictive, evil, life.
Name just one TOAD.
We’ll wait … and do provide reputable documentation.
He has patience to allow ignorant people such as yourself to lie about him without taking retribution like our Lord who when reviled uttered no complaint. 1 Pet. 2:23
Patience? ‘Patience’ like your Orange-Pig-Idol demanding that schools reopen while the pandemic rages?
Is endangering children part of the ‘pro-life’ agenda?
Or perhaps you meant TЯ卐m₽’s ‘patience’ in demanding workers return to infected meat processing plants where so many workers came down with COVID.
https://www.pbs.org/video/covids-hidden-toll-lof6d5/
Both of these acts of impatience committed by
TЯ卐m₽, were entirely based on his self-serving obsession to be reelected … no matter how many lives are lost or how much suffering your Orange-Pig-Idol causes to other people.
Furthermore TOAD no matter what I say or don’t say about the Orange-Pig, TЯ卐m₽ has NO authority to allow or disallow anyone from speaking their mind about him.
You do remember the First Amendment, right MAGAT?
“When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly.” – 1 Peter 2:23
Name one time the Orange-Pig did not retaliate against someone speaking the truth?
TЯ卐m₽ even attacked Greta Thunberg, a 15 year old school girl, for speaking out about climate change.
Then attacked her again, in a jealous rage, when she won
Time Magazine’s Person of the Year.
Your vicious Orange-Pig also attacked Dr. Fauci for warning the American people about the dangers of Coronavirus …
… because those TRUE health warnings, in TЯ卐m₽’s evil mind, went against what he considered good for his own reelection.
How retaliatory and vindictive is that?
Yet you still worship TЯ卐m₽-the-Beast.

Trump is notorious for holding grudges for decades for even the slightest insult. Remember when during the primaries he brought up the size of his fingers to “Little Marco” and said that his yuge fingers were indicative of the size of, er, another part of his body? Remember that?
Do you know why he brought that up? Because SPY Magaine had called him a “short-fingered vulgarian” — in 1988!
Patient, you say? Forgiving? Not the type to seek retribution? Let’s hear it from the horse’s mouth:
Do you know what his motive was to run for President in the first place? Revenge on Obama for making fun of him over his Birtherism at the 2011 WHCD. That’s why his main goal has been to tear down all of Obama’s accomplishments, no matter what it does to America and its reputation (this alone has already permanently and irrevocably destroyed the reputation for trustworthiness among our peer nations that it took us over 2¼ centuries, 44 Presidents, and 114 Congresses to build up — he flushed all of that down the toilet forever just to get back at Obama for telling a couple jokes about him (which he deserved) at a dinner. That hard-earned reputation is gone now. It’s just — gone. We can’t ever get that back, no matter who the next President is.
Even in business (Trump’s supposed area of expertise), a reputation for trustworthiness among your peer businesses is vital if you want to be taken seriously. Let’s say that a corporation changes CEOs every few years, and until the current CEO the previous CEOs had always honored deals even if made under the tenure of a prior CEO before them whom the current CEO opposed. That’s how you get a reputation for trustworthiness, if a deal made would last even through changes of leadership, even if the new leader hates the one who negotiated the deal, even if he truly thinks it was a bad deal. Now, let’s suppose the newest CEO just up and decides to break previous deals made by his immediate predecessor because that predecessor told a few jokes about him at a social event. He just says, “Well,I didn’t make those deals, so I don’t consider us bound by them.” If you were the CEO of another company that had intended to make some long-term deal with that company, would you once that happened? If the next CEO could just feel free to break the agreement with your company because he hates the current CEO?
The Framers of the Constitution knew that we could never become a truly great nation unless we could be trusted to keep our given word with at least other peer nations (granted, we weren’t so upright with abiding by treaties made with Native American tribes and nations, etc.). So they put it in the Constitution itself (Article VI ¶2 aka the Supremacy Clause) that all ratified Treaties became equal to the Constitution itself, that they were jointly the Supreme Law of the Land!
So what does Trump do? He breaks our given word with other nations — not just once, but repeatedly. He pulls us out of the Paris Climate Accords. He pulls out of the TPP.. He pulls out of the Iran Nuclear Deal. He does those things not because he thinks they were bad deals (the proper thing to do in that case would be to try to renegotiate them). He did it because those deals were negotiated under Obama, Obama got credit for them, and Obama made fun of him at a dinner (again, over something Trump made the first move on by doing the whole Birtherism thing!) so everything Obama has to go! No matter what the consequences!
The consequences were the permanent and irrevocable loss of our international reputation for trustworthiness, a key foundation of our leadership position on the world stage. Now the precedent that he has set, which will be our reputation for as long as this nation continues to exist is this: any deal made with the USA can only be trusted to last, at most, through the administration of the President under whom it was negotiated because the next President might hate the previous one and seek to undo his accomplishments, including breaking any deals made under him. It doesn’t matter if Biden wins and doesn’t do that, because the next President after him might. That precedent has been set. It replaces the reputation we had before that was written into the Constitution and took 2¼ centuries, 44 Presidents, and 114 Congresses to establish.
One of the things your side blames Obama for is leaving Iraq too soon after toppling Saddam Hussein, leaving a power vacuum that allowed ISIS to arise. But Obama didn’t do that of his own initiative. Bush had made an agreement with the government of Iraq to withdraw our troops by a certain date. Obama tried to extend that date, but the Iraqis said no. Now, Obama could’ve just overridden the Bush agreement and told the Iraqis that he didn’t feel bound by an agreement negotiated under Bush. But Obama knew that doing so would destroy our reputation for trustworthiness, and he knew that that was more important in the long run.
What he didn’t know was that that reputation and our resulting greatness on the world stage only had a few years to live anyway, thanks to Trump.
And that’s not even getting into what he did in tearing down Obama’s pandemic response organization which had been independently rated #1 in the world. And his attempts to repeal “Obamacare” even without a replacement (even though what is commonly called “Obamacare” aka the ACA isn’t even Obama’s plan [his had a Public Option, remember?] — it was a Republican plan! But Obama was given credit for it because the Republicans started calling it “Obamacare” hoping to slime him with it, but people love it [even Republicans when you don’t mention Obama when asking about it] and that backfired on them) and is still trying to do so even in the middle of a pandemic with a devastated economy (our bad handling of which resulting largely from his tearing down of the pandemic response system) and people really needing it — just because it has Obama’s name on it.
Grudges. Grudges. He doesn’t hold any fu__in grudges. Oh my that was funny. SPY magazine is responsible?
Trump’s main goal is not Obama obsession because that is a waste of time. Getting elected put that to rest.
Only other corrupt liberals in foreign countries believe that reputation litany. It’s just more fabricated lies to keep liberals incensed. Ask the Syrians whom Obama killed.
The Paris accord is not and never was a Treaty. Obama never even tried to get that nonsense approved. It was just another economic disaster that crooked politicians from around the world used to make money. Trump correctly dumped it.
You seem outraged with Obama’s failures to the point that four years later you still can’t accept the election. Well join Hillary, all Democrats and the media. Obama was not qualified to run this great country and it showed from the beginning.
Remember when Obama told O’Reilly that there was ” not even a hint of corruption” in his administration? Well now we know he created the biggest Presidential scandal in the history of the country and we know exactly how he did it. Soon Durham will have the co-conspirators indicted and lined up for long prison terms leaving Obama to twist in the wind.
Obama’s signature health care legislation was deeply flawed like the website he commissioned that didn’t work and the mandate that stole money from the young to pay for this one size fits all disaster. Good riddance.
Seen from someone like me who sees the Bible as a mythology book : there is a slight mistake. COVID propagates through breath, not through waters.I have to say the rest is impressive. You did put a lot of good work into this compilation. I am deeply impressed.
The human beings who wrote the Bible indeed had a deep knowledge of the human behaviors, the best as the worse. The sermon on the mount, as evil as it might be (with the criminalization of the thought and other toxic teachings), is also a direct strike into the very center of our psyche – a real masterwork of human litterature. And when you compare Yahweh’s behaviour with Trumps, the first thing that comes to mind is “Trump inspired them ti describe Yahweh’s behaviour”. Well, they alreay had a leader like Trump in those times, probably. I bet they suffered under his rule – and yet had to describe him as a god. Or…..
Excellent stuff, Benjamin!
And I say that as something of a lay biblical scholar/prophecy buff myself (including upon your selfsame topic)…
You’ve presented your case well: cogently, clearly and perfectly understandably, and with deep insight/perception…
Others, e.g. authors from centuries gone by such as Christopher Hill (‘Antichrist in Seventeenth-Century England’) and Ellen G White (‘The Great Controversy Between Christ and Satan’, also known as ‘Cosmic Conflict’) have made equally compelling cases based entirely upon the long-cherished and well-established, biblically unassailable principle of ‘sola scriptura’ (the Scriptures Alone), which in this instance could be summed up as ‘let the Bible interpret itself’.
Coincidentally enough, before reading your incredibly mind-blowing writing this evening I posted some more biblically-based/derived antichrist-related material (as I have previously in various posts on various blogsites of mine), as happenstance would have it after viewing (c/o my agnostic Society of Friends (Quaker) mother channel-scrolling and completely inadvertently stumbling upon) a TV programme entitled ‘Secrets Unsealed (or Unveiled)’ on our Firstlight (freeview) channel here in Aotearoa-New Zealand with a pastor Stephen Bohr teaching/preaching thereupon.
Enough already – but thank God and praise the LORD for believers like yourself prepared to go out on a (well-argued and articulately, biblically sound) limb in the interests of ‘the faith once delivered unto the saints‘, who have been well warned
‘Blessed is s/he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy (i.e. the Revelation of Jesus Christ, in the Bible book by the same title), and keep those things which are written therein, for the time is at hand.’
Maranatha! And may that ‘Great Day’ find us all ready and waiting for our LORD’s long hoped for and much-anticipated Second Advent to Planet Earth, for surely it cannot tarry all that much longer…
Your Brother in Christ Jesus

(Author of some (arguably, oftentimes pertinent) blogsites if your reader/viewership are at all interested, and it’s okay by you (at a later date) for me to cite them herein, and/or the relevant posts thereon – at least once you yourself have screened/approved them.)
P.S. And how about this equally novel idea: that, vis-a-vis your own (antichrist) theory and the others I’ve alluded to, as with so much else in this old world of ours these days, it’s not necessarily a case of ‘either (this) or (that)’, but it could actually – if only occasionally, admittedly – be one of ‘both (this) and (that)’.
Now dig deeply into the history of the RCC and you’ll realize that it started matching ALL of the anti-Christ prophesies almost two thousand years ago!
Exactly. I recommend a book by Alexander Hislop called The Two Babylons:
The Two Babylons, subtitled Romanism and its Origins, is a religious pamphlet published in 1853 by the Presbyterian Free Church of Scotland theologian Alexander Hislop. Its central theme is the argument that the Catholic Church is the Babylon of the Apocalypse which is described in the Bible. Wikipedia
Originally published: 1858
Author: Alexander Hislop
This book will open your eyes to all the changes made by the Church. A good study for those who feel secure in their faith.
My concern is in the article you didnt quote the full just the part to fit your narrative…why is that?
I’m not even Christian, an X if you will but I knew the minute he got into office. I started calling him the AntiChrist. Now with this article shared with me by a friend on Facebook, I read the entire article aloud to myself taking it all in. Makes sense and my allegiance to God, White Light, Goddess and All That IS remains in tact. I hate tRUMP with a passion and all of his “swamp monsters”. They are legion and they are many. They surround him and yet have no idea how to do their jobs effectively. Look at Betsy Devos… what a waste of space she is. Nasty, all of them! I do not wish them well!
Did you see the part where the Antichrist will fool everyone? Apparently Trump lacks that superpower or you have immunity…
The Beasts (the word “Antichrist” never appears in Revelation) fool many but not everyone. Many also follow the Two Witnesses. “The Rapture” is false doctrine (the term appears nowhere in the Bible) and true Christians (aka “the saints”) are still on Earth during the Tribulation as witness by the fact that “it is given unto the Beast to make war with the saints and overcome them.”

Nothing you can hurl at us can hurt us but we have power to torment you.

You are marked Bobby boy.
I am a conservative Christian who at the start supported Trump. I am currently 17 and will turn 18 in about a week, so I will be able to vote for the next president. Lately, I have really questioned my support of Trump and what I read here really blew my mind. I am not quite sure if he is the Antichrist or not but he definitely does fit a lot of the descriptions, if not all of it. Not quite sure what to think, I almost feel like my world has been flipped upside down. Thanks for the article, I learned a lot. God bless!
Just remember there are two side to every story. This story is written to hurt the President for political purposes by misusing scripture. Since most people on this site have no clear understanding of Revelation it is easy to influence the readers. Just scroll through the comments and you will the confusion. If you use this blog for study and try to prove each point to yourself your understanding would increase ten fold and you would then form your own opinion and be able to defend it to someone else.
Bob
You can’t blame everything on politics.
For God sake Bob.
Just Stop.
You are a fake christian.
The Holy Spirit is not informing you.
You WILL answer for the lives you turn away from the TRUTH.
What utter horseshit!
Greetings to all of those on this forum! I have read a few comments after reading some of what the author wrote, however, I find that he basically crafted his story of the antichrist to fit his own agenda, which is to attack President Trump. I doubt that he is all he says he is, since otherwise he would have done a more professional analysis instead of attacking other Christians, which is what Christians would no better than to do. I am only being critical of his article, I am not judging him. However, when anyone publishes an article they automatically open themselves up to criticism, which is what I am doing. I bet if you dig a little deeper on his background, you will find he is not what he claims to be. This is a hit piece, as it is called in the publishing world. If anyone of you is truly Christian, then you should not be listening to biased writing such as this piece. Pray to our Lord God that He will forgive you for spreading lies and misinformation about President Trump, since if you do not, then you will be judged accordingly by our Lord God. That is all I have to say on this subject. I do hope you all have a very nice remaining day! Adios from Texas.

The manufacturing of your vision by using false information to distort who President Trump is, tells me more about YOU than him. Calling his buildings the “7 HILLS” is patently delusional and would be laughable if you weren’t leading so many people astray. And having equally insane people build you up for your completely ignorant analogy shows how many can be deceived by ONE VERY EVIL FALSE PROPHET!!
You make a great point. When you read through the comments it is alarming to see how many, many people want to believe and agree with the comparisons. If Ben wanted to he could persuade his followers to actually read the bible on their own so they can begin to questions these assertions.
Whether TЯ卐m₽ is the Beast, or just another run-of-the-mill Beast, makes no difference when one surrenders their soul to the evil spirit of the Beast.
Those who support, defend, condone and worship an evil Beast,
put the Mark of the Beast in their own foreheads.
Hitler was a Beast and those who supported that monster,
put the Mark of the Beast in their forehead too.

Trump is not the Beast. He’s the Little Horn of the Great Beast with the Mouth that Speaketh Blasphemies (“I don’t need God’s forgiveness. I never do anything wrong!”) in Revelation Chapter 13, aka the Tenth Horn/King of the Scarlet-Coloured Beast of Revelation Chapter 17.
The three Beasts themselves are not individual human beings. They’re aggregates of persons. That’s why John called them “Beasts” to show that they’re not individual humans with souls and consciences.
Whether TЯ卐m₽ is the “Little Horn” or the “Great Beast” or the “Big Mouth Speaking Blasphemies” or the “Scarlet Beast” or the “Abomination of Desolation” or whatever other names apply, the Orange-Pig is still a Beast.
One could surmise that Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin, Nero, Caligula and hundreds of others were Beasts in their own time.
And whosoever worships a Beast (whichever one he is) puts the Mark of the Beast in their own forehead.
Hey Donnie, did you know Russia was paying the taliban to kill American soldiers???

The lies that the antichrist will push, and the truth that it denies, is that Jesus is God.
The antichrist will eventually have ALL people liking him.
The antichrist will defame God by making claims on God that is not true. Not that God is evil, but that popular evil things are considered good by God.
Almost every point made, 2 or so are used to match and are reaching, and a third is snuck in that isn’t in the scripture quoted.
The beast heads and horns are metaphorical, they are powers and principalities, not buildings.
The mark of the beast is necessary to buy food. It’s more likely to be an embedded smartphone-like device than a printed symbol.
While I agree that Trump has many faults, he doesn’t carry the favor of all sides necessary to be an antichrist.
Thanks. Very nicely said.
Unfortunately too factual for the Progressive/Leftists on this site to comprehend.
When you sat the antichrist will promote that popular evil things (abortion, racism, anarchy, salvation by grace alone, Jesus didn’t have to die for our sins, God doesn’t judge and respond) as good you are prescient.
Keeping in mind that, even if he is the Antichrist, it doesn’t mean it’s the End of the World. Many others have fit the bill–Hitler, for example, fits extremely well, but the world didn’t end then. Though climate change and the availability of nuclear weapons make the End of the World a higher possibility than it ever was before.
I agree with your analysis because no one knows the time except the Father not even the Son. Many have predicted the end date without success. But when you point out Hitler and say Trump also fits the bill I completely disagree. Trump doesn’t want to be a dictator nor rule the world which are necessary attributes for that job.
I disagree on that, but time will tell who’s right….In any case, I’ve moved away from the Evangelical interpretation of Antichrist and now see it as more of a Type we’ll see again and again throughout history until the world does finally end. Just in reading the books of Maccabees the past few months, I’ve identified several Antichrists and that was before Christ….Looked at that way, it becomes less of a mystical prophecy we may never see, and more a danger that every generation needs to watch out for. We also see how to fight and that eventually, the antichrists fall, so there is hope for the Church.
At the end of this age when The anti-Christ is healed from his head wound people will believe he is God. Then they will receive his Mark willingly. Those who don’t ultimately will be killed. After that there will few, if any, of the Church left. But then Christ will return and you can read the rest in Revelation.
And you’ll be the first in line.
If you examine scripture with an eye to relevance there are many things about “this generation”.
Jesus said “this generation shall not pass away…”,
Many believed He referred to “His” generation.
But he makes clear when you read back in the chapter he was referring to the generation who experienced specific things happening at the time of the end.
The ability to broadcast simultaneous video around the globe did not exist until THIS GENERATION.
The addition of thousands of Amazon satellites recently is filling existing holes.
A medium exists to convey a video image to everyone on the earth.
While this may not be even necessary, this generation has such power, no other before did.
Theres another key verse you can add to the Worthless Shepherd prophecy due to recent events.
“Woe to the worthless shepherd,
who deserts the flock!
May the sword strike his arm and his right eye!
MAY HIS ARM BE COMPLETELY WITHERED,
his right eye totally blinded!”

So, interestingly, the president seems to be having trouble using his right arm and walking/standing steadily. Zechariah 11:17 may be telling us why,
“Woe to the worthless shepherd,
who deserts the flock!
May the sword strike his arm and his right eye!
May his arm be completely withered,
his right eye totally blinded!”
Good scripture; doubtful interpretation.
Remember when Hillary almost fell on the sidewalk when trying to enter the van?
And your point would be?
We all get old.
Just wonder how many other leaders the signs apply to? Totally generic signs or possibly not?
Just goes to show there are as many loony evangelical lefties out, as there are cultish alt righties. This article is living proof, despite the author’s apparent insufferable, laodicean, TDS-esque maladies afflicting this satirical piece. Oh, and he forgot the one qualifying identifier of the Antichrist, Daniel 9:27, which disqualifies Trump (Scottish/German)
From the comments section:
“[People I dislike] are Trumpsters who have had their consciences seared by the very subject of this column”
“TЯ卐m₽ is the Beast, not the Antichrist.”
“I believe Trump to he the First Beast from Revelation and thus, the Antichrist.”
“Personally, my favorite is the MAGA hat being the mark of the beast on the forehead.”
“I am fully convince he is the antichrist or his evil twin man is pure evil!”
“It’s white supremacists and out-of-control cops who are the real terrorists, rioters and looters!”
Now let’s laugh at those ‘fundies’ who believe in the anti-Christ.
I’ve said it before: “Progressive Christianity” is the belief that hatred of Trump is more important than love of Jesus.

Naturally, you are still a liar.
But it’s almost cute that you pretend to be Christian while you lie about God’s word to follow your petty, childish hatreds.
But while you’re busy pretending to care about Bible verses, check out that one about bearing false witness, and the one about taking the Lord’s name in vain.
And Godwin’s Law ain’t in the Bible, but despite the name it doesn’t actually come from God, so you can safely look it up– go ahead and check that one out too.
“Christians are dumb because they believe in the Antichrist!”
“Now watch me lie my head off to explain why Trump is the anti-Christ.”
I’m not sure which is funnier, watching Mr. Corey show that he hates Trump more than he loves Jesus, or the idea that the “Resist” idiots sexually assaulting preachers out on Soymalia are “wise.”
” … which shall be diverse from ALL kingdoms, and shall devour the WHOLE “earth”, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.” = Clues.
“You are under the power of no other enemy, are held in no other captivity, and want no other deliverance, but from the power of your own earthly self. This is the murderer of the divine Life within you. It is your own Cain that murders your own Abel.” William Law ……….. and in order to heal mankind of this dual nature:
“He [the Christ] is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us.” Ephesians 2:14
I just reread your comment and give you a resounding Thumbs Up!
“And the Lion (Dominance, Supremacy) SHALL lie down with the Lamb (peaceable, meek humble).
Interesting juxtaposition.
I have wondered how God works out these Left/Right Strong/Week matters.
Seems The divisions can only grow wider as He approaches.
And He IS approaching.
In the perfection of time.
I have a nearly deadly serious comment: Can the antichrist’s followers ‘smell’ a person that isn’t ‘them’, so to speak, and attack them, or try to?
I’ve had some downright worrying encounters the past couple years…
Not sure about ‘smell’ … but we know for sure that Satan knows who the true saints are.
If we keep our eyes and ears tuned into the Holy Spirit, true Christians can discern the spirits.
This is how many of us immediately recognized the Beast when he rode that gaudy golden escalator down to the lobby of his tacky tower, then went right into his, now infamous, speech:
“Mexicans are criminals and rapists.”
Immediately thereafter, every single white-supremacist and neo-nazi group in the country flocked to his side.
About 6 months later, most Evangelicals flocked to his side too.
Indeed.
The Spirit warned me at the same point,
I began to tweet about it then.
The “Bob Shiloh” entity is just a demon.
He’s “faking” being Christian, have taken Christ name in vain ( a wife ‘takes’ her husbands name) betraying her husband.
Bob can’t even know he is fake.
He is just an accuser.
Ignore him.
At one point, about 2 months ago, “Bob Shiloh” advised me to listen to Hannity and Limbaugh, to “learn the truth”.
That was the most demonic advice I’d ever been given.
So yes, you’re probably right about just “ignore him” but part of me feels like it’s my sacred duty to refute his lies.
If you means annoyances and outright “attacks” the answer is, if you are a follower of Christ (Notice I don’t say Christian, because the currency has been devalued) then you are the enemy of the god of this age. If you are getting repeated attacks, God may be trying to get your attention. In my 45 years in “this way” I have experienced both types.
Satan’s feeble & foolish efforts, and God’s purposeful deliberate “nudges”.
It’s not the human host who ‘smells’ you. It the demon in control.
The hosts are disposable.
Interesting Calculative Predictions: Over time people have tried to predict Nostradamus, The Revelations, etc etc. There’s endless math for predictions. They can be made by anyone for anything against or for anyone. If you take just the points from the bible you have taken here you could attribute these predictions in a wonderful story to dozens and dozens of leaders over the last few hundred years all over the world. But we all need to make a living and I appreciate the efforts! By the way you missed one Trump tower in Las Vegas, so I guess thats 8, Peace all !!
Masterful gaslighting effort!
Thanks for that. It seems many people have made a deal with the Devil.
This is fascinating, with a lot to absorb. (I’m an Episcopalian; I was taught that Daniel was accurate right up to the point when the second author, writing in Aramaic instead of Hebrew, tried to predict the future, and that Revelation is mostly about Rome (“seven hills”) – the Number of the Beast adds up to Nero Caesar, and he certainly persecuted Christians.)
You do have some things wrong about St. John’s/Lafayette Square. The rector (not the pastor) did have some things to say about the violent police invasion, which drove off not only a priest but seminarians and members of the laity, but it was the Bishop of Washington, +Mariann Edgar Budde, who had the most to say (as is meet and right, since she has authority over all the parishes and missions in her diocese).
I’m not sure what you mean by “but that he would use their church and a Bible from inside, as a photo op.” He wasn’t inside, and the Bible – which was fished from a $1,540 designer handbag by Ivanka Trump – wasn’t, either. Nor did Trump hold it upside down and backward. This isn’t to say that he wouldn’t have, but the photos show it right side up and front forward.
Anyway, thank you. You have built a persuasive case!
Just because someone has a degree in theology doesn’t mean they are born again. To use God’s holy word in this mocking way is blasphemous. Antifa pretending to be a Bible expositor. The more I read the more I thought this was satire.Repent! https://media0.giphy.com/media/2bzp5zBguDw4w/giphy.gif
Great response!
AS I’ve said.
These are those whose eyes God has purposely blinded.
And yet they know not they are blind.
Begone.
Try your own suggestion. Oh, and buy a pair of glasses.
Begone? Ha. Such kindness, the love of Jesus. I have eyes to see. Blind I am not. Jesus opened my eyes and you cannot take that from me. I stand by my words.
Love that flag. Thanks.
Based on what I read on this site a degree in theology is more suspect than not. The bible is of no private interpretation. 2Pet. 1:20
Trump is not the anti-christ.
Speaking of the anit-christ, the scriptures say in Daniel 11:37 “Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.”
Trump LOVES women, and has a beautiful wife. So this CANNOT be him.
Trump uses and abuses women, he can’t love anything but himself.
Sounds like you don’t believe he is the anti-christ rather just a man?
Trump loves women so much he married three of them!
What did Jesus say about divorce?
Hi, I came here to say you needed to update your page after recent events, and you have! Thank you for writing this up. A few points to think about:
1. I would actually quote the Matthew 24 verse mentioning “when you see standing in the holy place…” so the words of that prophecy are actually visible on your page, and say something like what if the holy place is not a Jewish temple but a little chuch near the WH.
2. The WH has now been fenced in by kilometers of steel fence, which as far as I know has not happened before. More fortressing.
3. I would take off the final point about the maga hats, it’s weak, and it’s not good to finish on a weak point.
