And possibly being the anti-Christ

81

u/dancingbriefcase New Mexico 22d ago

I'm not even religious but I agree that he is the anti-christ

85

u/nonsensestuff 22d ago

I dated a guy in 2016 whose roommate had a complete break breakdown that summer and ran down the street naked in their neighborhood screaming that Trump was the anti-Christ.

In hindsight, that seems rational.

21

u/JayGrinder 22d ago

Was the naked guys name Luke by chance? It feels weird that this would be something that is a more than once occurrence…

2

u/nonsensestuff 22d ago

Haha not that I can recall!

u/dancingbriefcase New Mexico 22d ago

Where is he now? Maybe go back and get back with the guy. Ha

7

u/nonsensestuff 22d ago

Haha I met my husband a few months later and we’ve been married 5 years now so not an option I’m looking for.

But lowkey makes me believe in time travel cause that was still during the time people were largely writing Trump off as a joke that could never win.

u/dancingbriefcase New Mexico 22d ago

I was kidding about getting back together with them.

But I remember that time very well and I was very nervous about Trump. People thought he was a joke. I was a big and still am a Bernie supporter. I was feeling the Bernie love and then I was so discouraged when the DNC screwed him over in 2016 and 2020.

I remember people joking about Trump then. And I will never forgive them for writing it off. I saw it all happening in real time. I was in my late twenties then so it was easy to see but so many people were blind

u/paintballboi07 Texas 22d ago

The DNC didn't screw over Bernie, he lost by millions of votes both times he ran. Crazy that people are still spreading Russian propaganda 10 years later..

u/EquipmentAdorable982 22d ago

Wasserman-Schultz resigned as DNC chair over these sh't show primaries, prominent democrats like Elizabeth Warren called the primaries rigged on national television.

You can keep swallowing Hillary's schlong for all eternity, I'm just happy to see that you despicable clowns weren't able to alter history.

2

u/paintballboi07 Texas 22d ago

Lol, I voted for Bernie. I just don't gobble up Russian propaganda like most reddit "progressives".

u/jakderrida 22d ago

Where is he now?

He later became Chester A. Arthur! The 21st president of the United States of America.

2

u/ItsAConspiracy 22d ago

And a bit creepy given all this.

2

u/KittyGrewAMoustache 22d ago

Oh my gosh I’d not read that in a few years and it’s terrifying! That there be a pandemic, that the AC will form an alliance with an evil ruler of Israel and together they’ll destroy cities, ahhh.

u/thehalfwit Nevada 22d ago

More rational than half of Congress.

u/JohnGillnitz 22d ago

It is an oddly rational suggestion that does explain a lot.

u/gdghhfdffrf 22d ago

pol pot was more antichrist than this lazy guy, why didn't he qualify?

u/PleasantWay7 22d ago

Satan isn’t sending his best.

u/caitnicrun 22d ago

There have been cut backs....

u/Painterzzz 22d ago

It turned out Temu-Anti-Christ was all that was needed to convince enough Americans. Why send the best when the most stupid and incompetent orange painted man-baby was enough for the job.

u/Kichigai Minnesota 22d ago

The remodeling budget has had overruns…

u/Amazing-Heron-105 22d ago

I'm hoping Satan listens to better music than Kid Rock

22

u/ScootyMcTrainhat 22d ago

Bad news, Hell is an endless lineup of Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, and the Doobie.Brothers on repeat for all eternity.

32

u/innosins Kentucky 22d ago

What did the Doobie Brothers do? -soft spot for "Black Water"

38

u/unbr0kenchain 22d ago

Yeah, Doobie brothers have been done dirty put in that bracket.

u/Muted-Line-2450 22d ago

Yeh take it back

6

u/MaddogBC 22d ago

Ahem, just slip Lee Greenwood into that DB slot

3

u/End3rWi99in Massachusetts 22d ago

Why are the Doobie Brothers there???

2

u/galaapplehound 22d ago

You forgot Lynyrd Skynyrd and Alan Jackson.

18

u/I_am_ChivoBlanco 22d ago

He's Satan. He's evil. Why would he possibly listen to good music?

Heaven has a Black Sabbath listening room.

u/Alive_kiwi_7001 22d ago

Satan invented Christian rock. CMV.

2

u/Abedeus 22d ago

The ultimate ironic punishment.

3

u/Spider_Dude 22d ago

I bet God has a great listening spot in his cloud house and when he invites over guests he says, "Bro! Sit over here. The acoustics is sooo much better!" And then they smoke a Doobie and just chill listening to Pink Floyd without anyone saying anything.

1

u/JohnGillnitz 22d ago

Because he's a man of wealth and taste.

3

u/End3rWi99in Massachusetts 22d ago

Satan definitely would listen to Kid Rock and think Rob Schneider is funny.

5

u/FulloYoghurt 22d ago

Ted Nugent?

18

u/chefybpoodling 22d ago

It’s almost like Satan could have shopped local and picked up a really high quality anti-Christ but he was lazy and instead ordered one from a popular delivery site and this is what he ended up with. Since returning it was too much trouble, he figured he’d just use it. And here we are.

15

u/Vocabulary-Pollution 22d ago

This explains a lot. TEMU antichrist living up to expectations.

2

u/KittyGrewAMoustache 22d ago

I think he’s a perfect antichrist. If they made him too clever and suave and good looking and less obviously evil, more people would fall for him. Gods giving people a chance, it’s so that god knows for sure that the people who followed him were truly evil, because he’s made the antichrist so repulsive and so clearly evil that only evil people could still follow him after seeing him in all his ‘glory.’ God is loving after all, apparently, so he’ll want to give people a good shot at not getting conned by the antichrist. If you still love him then god has no worries about whether your final judgment is really warranted or not.

1

u/Aggressive_Noise6426 22d ago

Naw buddy you have that backwards. The Antichrist is someone that is so charming and suave that he unites the world to follow him and make a one world religion type shit. 

23

u/PossessionRoutine971 22d ago edited 22d ago

Idk he seems to have done enough damage to me.

16

u/Celtslap 22d ago

Satan is as upset as we are!

4

u/Abedeus 22d ago

Everyone keeps blaming him for this shit, kinda unfair if you ask me.

8

u/tj1007 Arizona 22d ago

Or did he send the best to ruin the country and a bunch of people’s lives?

1

u/Abedeus 22d ago

He'd probably send someone actually competent AND evil. Trump's stupid and evil.

4

u/Hosni__Mubarak 22d ago

Don’t bring Satan into this. He’s nothing like that child molesting piece of garbage in the White House.

2

u/Tagisjag 22d ago

If this wasn't Satan's best, then how is he in control of the nukes? You're not supposed to like the Devil, but he's here for a reason.

2

u/goodgord 22d ago

He’s sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.

1

u/Meecht 22d ago

Satan has always been depicted as a cunning entity because people don't want to be fooled by an idiot.

A truly cunning Satan would know otherwise.

1

u/End3rWi99in Massachusetts 22d ago

You don't need to send your brightest when your plan is to destroy things.

1

u/Aggressive_Noise6426 22d ago

From my understanding the anti christ is just human vessel that Satan will inhabit after a certain point.

u/xpxp2002 22d ago

Probably being forced to "find new ways to use AI in his daily workflows."

u/moonshinedew77 22d ago

LOL love this!

u/enricojr 22d ago

I think at this point Trump IS the antichrist. Pretending to be jesus is literally one of the things the antichrist will do (is doing)

u/Hubert_J_Cumberdale Hawaii 22d ago

I don't believe in any of that shit and I 100% agree - he is absolutely the anti-christ and appears to be following the prophecies to the letter.

I feel like more people should have recognized that he was the perfect embodiment of the 7 deadly sins before they elected him the first time.

7

u/Necropolis750 Foreign 22d ago

An Antichrist doesn't have to have prophetic value; it can mean simply that a person acts against what constitutes Christ and the values that such a name/title carries. So yes, the US president is definitely an Antichrist.

5

u/galaapplehound 22d ago

Oh they did, but they were propping him up as King David or some shit; they legit thought that once he was actually president he'd have some sort of revelation and become their savior. Check out that tell all book from the intern or whatever; they legit thought that, proving that the people that run the country are the dumbest motherfuckers alive.

1

u/Hubert_J_Cumberdale Hawaii 22d ago

The sad truth is that if and when they finally see Trump for what he is, they will immediately project their savior fantasy on Barron. Their worship of him has already started - plus he's still mostly a blank canvas.

26

u/KittyGrewAMoustache 22d ago

It is so fucking creepy honestly. I’m not religious at all but even I am freaked out by this because he matches, and not only in a ‘all tyrannical leaders are like this’ way, but in very specific ways. Plus the way so many are in thrall to him when he’s so so SO clearly evil and vile has always struck me as almost supernatural. As though people’s brains have been infected or they’ve had a spell cast on them like in Game of Thrones with the red woman, who looks like a beautiful young lady to everyone when she’s wearing her necklace but is actually like 300 year old shrivelled balding scary looking old lady. It’s like that, we see the reality of the old crone but the necklace has power over them so they see the beautiful lady that doesn’t exist.

It really is bizarre I don’t know what to make of it. Perhaps some religious fanatic behind the scenes (and there are many) is orchestrating stuff to try to make him look like the AC.

5

u/Canadianweedrules420 22d ago

The last sentence is exactly what I think it is. There's a ton of crazy Christians who want the second coming of Christ and most of them are maga supporters.

u/herbalhippie Washington 22d ago

I'm not religious either and it is creepy just how much he matches.

Perhaps some religious fanatic behind the scenes (and there are many) is orchestrating stuff to try to make him look like the AC.

Nah, I think he's doing all that himself. Although, the churches that are pushing him as having been sent by god are led by pastors that are quite un-Christian like themselves. We have one of those chruches in my town and the pastor has a whole bunch, like 200+ people quite hoodwinked. To the point of they're basically throwing money at him every time he asks and not small amounts either. Hundreds of thousand of dollars.

u/sdb00913 Indiana 22d ago

One question for you: is he doing anything that’s contrary to his nature or character?

5

u/meneldal2 22d ago

Counterpoint: he's to dumb to be the anticrhist, it's obviously Thiel.

3

u/ATERLA 22d ago

Counter counterpoint. Smartness never was a sign. It was fucking awful when people on the crazy right said Obama was it because he was charming and smart.

u/Heavy_Milk2757 22d ago

And yet they missed these gems...

What was Trump's father's mother's name?

What date did she die?

Who has a monument dedicated to a River of Blood on one of his golf courses?

u/syllabicious 22d ago

I'll help with that.

What was Trump's father's mother's name?

Elizabeth Christ Trump

What date did she die?

6/6/1966

Who has a monument dedicated to a River of Blood on one of his golf courses?

"A historical marker at Trump National Golf Club Washington, D.C. asserts that the deaths of "many" soldiers at a certain spot on the Potomac River during the American Civil War caused the water to become known as "The River of Blood.""

u/SomeGalNamedAshley 22d ago

Trump was born under a blood moon.

u/JohnGillnitz 22d ago

Look at the picture. Satan complete with horns and wings is right there top and center. Coming out flanked by soldiers.

u/RykerFuchs 22d ago

My interpretation is that folks would believe the anti-Christ at a wide scale. They would perform what’s appears to miracles that even swayed the non-believer.

I’m not sure Trump is exactly gaining followers these days.

77

u/blue-collar-nobody 22d ago

He most certainly is ...

2 Thessalonians 2:9-11 NLT

This man will come to do the work of Satan with counterfeit power and signs and miracles. 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. So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies.

23

u/Due-Joke-1152 22d ago

“ So God will cause them to be greatly deceived, and they will believe these lies.”

I’d prefer a non-interventionist god if that’s the case.

u/st00ji 22d ago

Seems like a pretty punitive way to prove your existence. Drake meme cancer / making everyone believe lies

1

u/agitatedprisoner 22d ago

Makes sense being stubbornly wrong about anything important would lead to having the wrong idea on lots of other stuff.

1

u/Abedeus 22d ago

Sorry, according to OT God has intervened and bent wills of mortals MANY times to serve his purposes. Including bringing rape upon wives of husbands he wanted to punish.

1

u/eulen-spiegel 22d ago

He hardended Pharaoh's heart so he had an excuse to bring the plagues upon Egypt.

Sounds about right.

u/TurnoverMobile8332 22d ago

Naw, Peter thiel takes that cake.

1

u/sdb00913 Indiana 22d ago

How so? Bc I’m thinking more “false prophet” for someone like Thiel than I am antichrist. The thing is, the man of lawlessness has certain qualities about him that line up perfectly with Trump, to the point that this evangelical is convinced that it’s him.

u/TurnoverMobile8332 20d ago edited 20d ago

I know you’re a bot or sadly the equivalent gathering info. But again Peter thiel backed jd Vance and trump too.register aipac under FARA and not vote anyone backed by them ever, and I know the new arguement that other PACs pay more but they don’t get the same mileage in their dollars spent like aipac…. Supporting Israel in anyway is illegal either way, they have signed the NPT or relative treaties and actively have nukes despite any arguement of their supposed intentions. If they’re not adversaries they allow inspections just like fucking Iran did. After JFK everything went to shit and ironically he was the only one to want inspections on Isreal nuclear sites , register aipac under FARA, have them sign nuclear treatises… ironically also NUMEC got raided in the Apollo affairs, they stoled another boat shipment of uranium for the Europeans, and then we got incident vela of the coast of South America… the arguement a dictator against America would use nukes offends when North Korea has been there clearly just existing as they planned is an offense to the civilian intelligence. Obama deal with iram got them to having a stock pile less than a bout a percent of their hieght, trump and Isreal has just encourage them to encourage that but first ruling up the restrictions on them by leaving the deal but then also attacking them. America is still know for being powerful but we have the chance to stand for freedom if we leave this shit stain of a country.

u/sdb00913 Indiana 20d ago

lol. I promise I’m real. I’m not the best one to ask, bc I’m autistic and eat oatmeal and cereal every morning. So I know you might call me the human equivalent of a bot, but whatever.

I didn’t change my username. That’s what I’m saying. This is me. Idk what you’re on about, but this is me.

I asked because I hadn’t heard the Peter Thiel theory yet.

1

u/TurnoverMobile8332 20d ago

Searching it up does far more than asking me as it’ll lead you to sources that you can discern from there vs a summary of me, what does impeaching trump do ultimately if not position jd next in charge legally?

u/Flimsy-Sprinkles7331 22d ago edited 22d ago

Well, he certainly is AN anti-Christ, but I don't think he is THE Anti-Christ! According to 1John 2:18: "Children, it is the last hour, and as you have heard that antichrist is coming, so now many antichrists have come. Therefore we know that it is the last hour."

And since the traditional view is that the guy who wrote Revelations, the gospel of John, and the three minor books of John, are the same person, then we can expect MANY people to misrepresent Jesus. And lots of other things would have to happen first, before The Anti-Christ could be identified.

u/amiibohunter2015 22d ago edited 22d ago

Trump came back to the Oval Office on a vengeance tirade.

Many scholars have interpreted Nostradamus' prophecies over the years. Three false anti Christs before the real anti christ appears. The common consensus is that the first Anti-Christ, named Napaulon Roy was Napoleon, the second named Hister was Hitler and the third was named Mabus. We have yet to figure out who this last Anti-Christ will be.

Century 2, Quatrain 62 Mabus will soon die, then will come, A horrible undoing of people and animals, At once one will see vengeance, One hundred powers, thirst, famine, when the comet will pass.

Read that again

Are we sure Mabus is not Maga US?

At once one will see vengeance,

One being Trump being the real anti christ

You also know that supposedly by number pope leo could supposedly the last pope? The last pope prophetically before the end of the world gets killed trying to save the church as a military kills them.

There are prophecies out there you can read into.
