    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.
