Summary
Evangelical Christians have fallen prey to the temptations offered by Donald Trump, similar to those faced by Jesus in the desert. Trump has offered evangelicals wealth, protection, and power, leading them away from the teachings of Jesus and closer to the path set forth by the devil. The evangelical church has submitted to Trump, moving further from the values of serving the poor, healing the sick, and loving neighbors.
Ohh, Trump is the antichrist. End times confirmed?
Growing up Bible-literalist religious and reading Revelations, I always had trouble with the idea that so many people would follow the antichrist, but that part seems so much more believable now.
Every now and again they’re completely blatant about mocking that portion of their base.

It’s a bit of a stretch, but yeah
My parents are religious and pretty conservative, but even they’ve pointed out that a lot of people are worshipping Trump as a false Christ
Well I dunno if he is an anti-christ. There never is a specification that there is a singular anti christ and they are often pluralized. There’s a pretty low bar to be an anti christ and they aren’t particularly a big deal. Basically according to script anybody who denies Jesus as being the son of God is an anti-christ and that’s pretty common. Any given day you’ll encounter a half dozen anti-christs. “The Antichrist” as in the one big one though isn’t super specified in character and there’s a bunch of options of not goodos who could fill the role
There is a separate nasty called the “the man of sin” and “son of perdition.” supposedly he will come at a time of a general apostasy, deceive people with signs and wonders, sit in the temple of God, and claim to be God himself. And a “Little Horn” (which I am not unconvinced just is a reference to a tiny dick) setting himself in the wing of a temple acting as though he is a divine authority and causing devistation of the Holy land… Which could fit?
Now I know what my pseudonym will be if I’m in a black metal band.
Idk, I don’t see peace in the middle east happening any time soon.
Although I guess Trump glassing the whole region would technically be peace.
I mean… that’s the Evangelical plan for Israel. They want their death cult to reach its culmination
No one is a Bible literalist and regardless Revelation is largely revenge fantasy against Rome for destroying the second temple…
Regardless, you won’t find “the Antichrist” or any Antichrist in Revelation, it’s only mentioned in the Johannine Epistles.
