Trump is an antichrist (not the definitive article, but the type of person described in the Bible). It really can't get any clearer at this point.
The anti Christ brings about the end of the world. It's what Christians want.
I'd say only the idiotic ones who believe in a pre-Tribulation Rapture would want that. It really makes me wonder how many "Christians" have actually read the Bible they claim to believe (and how many are going would be those told "Depart from me, for I never knew you" Matt. 7:23).
In my experience, Christianity is pretty divided over "End Times" worldviews - amillennial (no literal millennium, which usually says that there is no literal Tribulation either and so Antichrist isn't as much of a threat) vs. premillennial (we're living prior to a literal millennial reign of Christ on Earth, and there is a specific individual who will be the Antichrist and hold power during the 7-year Tribulation). Within the latter it gets even messier - rapture or no rapture? Ezekiel's War prior to the Tribulation or during it?
Whilst one can argue for the Rapture from the Bible, it's definitely not as clear-cut as the Antichrist or Tribulation period - so if it were me, I would not be in an hurry to usher in the reign of the Antichrist especially when he will hunt down and execute Christians during the Tribulation.
Of course they don't read it
Their book is to beat people with, not for reading
The conclusion that Christians want the Antichrist shows just how deranged American evangelicals have become from a Christian perspective.
Christians ≠ US evangelical "Christians"
Those are the ones obsessed with the rapture.
Nah. The Antichrist is expected to broker a peace treaty with Israel and its enemies if you look at Daniel 9:27.
That ain't our Mango Mussolini. He's a petulant toddler who throws a tantrum when he doesn't get his way. Trump couldn't negotiate a wooden tent spike from his own asshole.
It's not the end of the world. It's Israeli genocide (what a difference 84 years makes, huh?) and Iran trolling an orange dipshit for funsies. That's it.
Oh, I know that the Antichrist (the definitive article) signs an agreement with Israel (that's what starts off the 7-year Tribulation, if I recall correctly). Trump hasn't done that, nor does he meet a couple of other specific requirements, so I don't consider him to be the Antichrist (note the uppercase).
That said, he's definitely consistent with many of the attributes and I think meets the definition of an antichrist (lowercase) - hence why I said he's that type of person.
The folks who wrote that book of the Bible probably has Nero in mind when they wrote it. But there have been narcissistic assholes since the beginning of time, and it's no accident that many of the descriptions of Nero from 2000 years ago also fit Trump.
I agree. I think one of the arguments for the amillennial view is that it was talking about the Roman Emperor of the time.
