Thank you for this piece. It feels good to know that I am not the only one who sees Trump as embodying the Antichrist persona. I live in lower Alabama and there is a Revelations museum in the area.
The Christian Nationalists’ interpretation of Revelation is the source of their beliefs about the Antichrist. It is not a religious interpretation I was raised with as a Catholic. We were taught the Book of Revelation was about the persecution of early Christians under Rome, and that much of it was highly symbolic.
Christian Nationalism and evangelical interpretation of Revelation as prophecy of future events dates back to the Church of Ireland minister John Newton Darby in the early 19th century. Darby originated the interpretation of Revelation as depicting future events, and it became even more popular when later in the 19th century when Cyrus Scofield introduced the Scofield Reference Bible. The Scofield Reference Bible divided human history into various periods known as “dispensations,” and Darby’s interpretation of Revelation fit neatly into the Scofield Reference Bible.
Thank you for this further understanding of revelations & I agree, no one else in my lifetime (and I am almost 70), fits the antichrist persona better than the orange one!
Yes I agree whole heartedly! I’ve been telling my family and friends since Trump came into the political scene that he is the spawn of the devil as evidenced by his immoral, greedy, warmongering, petty, spiteful, rascist, and dishonest actions!I truly believe this!
Trump promotes golden idols, worship of false idols, usury, adultery, jealousy, fornication, lust for another’s wife, murder, false testimony, i mean where do evangelical and magats get their scripture from?
And in the end it only bring things closer to the second coming of Christ, so win win for the evangelicals. It all plays into their prophecies. Trump is their chosen one for all the reasons.

This is interesting, I didn’t this this. I grew up Southern Baptist and had only been taught that the Revelation was prophecy.
I had come to this conclusion a while back.
Ironically America elected someone who fits enough of the antichrist profile

I’ve been saying this for years.
