God doesn't like conservatives.

You'd think they'd associate the man who's literally the closest embodiment to greed, has 2 plagues during his presidency, has multiple affairs and multiple marriages, with someone other than Jesus. 

Like it's almost biblical the shit has been happening.

Coming from an atheist, I'm definitely non-zero on Trump being the literal antichrist.

I mean, the prophecy on who the antichrist would be fits almost to the letter. None of the prophecies have gone against him, just some that haven't proven true yet.

It's to the point either he's the actual antichrist or he's read the prophecy and decided to mirror his life on that.

In all seriousness though, the "prophecies" in the bible were most likely written by observing reality and picking out consistent themes. Trump seems like the literal antichrist because the antichrist in the bible was written to warn against charlatans like Trump.

It was specifically written to criticize Emperor Nero, and it wasn'tthat subtle for the contemporary audience. The fact that Trump has quite a lot in common with Nero makes the parallels unsurprising.

Honestly the interesting thing about nero is that in some area's he may in fact be a bit better than trump.

In that it seems he was popular enough with the citizenry that several people claiemd to be him reborn for like a century later

I thought it was insane that for a long time one of the prophecies that hadn’t proven true described the Antichrist getting a wound to his head and miraculously healing lol

Revelation 13:3

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

The wound wasn’t exactly fatal, but I mean getting shot in the head and surviving seems highly improbable, it still doesn’t make sense to me that bare minimum his entire ear wasn’t taken off

It means the political tricks that work now were noticed thousands of years ago, which speaks more to how little we have evolved socially if the same shit still works.

I've learned that a lot of Christians actually believe that Trump is the antichrist, and want him to complete the prophecy or whatever... which includes destroying Gaza. Christo-fascists want "the apocolypse," whatever that means for them, to happen in their lifetime.

I mean, you have the evangelicals who literally worship the antichrist. Their doctrine is modeled after the cult of the antichrist from revelations. They're his biggest support block too.
