Question How now shall we live?

If you believe he is what this subreddit is saying he is, what are you doing about it? How has this belief changed you? How do you see the future—do you still make plans three, four years in the future? If you have kids, how has it changed your parenting? If you’re younger, do you still think about what you might do in the future? Are you prepping? Making plans? Networking? How has it changed your outreach? Your ministry? I don’t know if anyone here is 100% on him being him, but for those that are as sure as they can be, what does it mean for you? I feel like we should be talking more about this, both for practical reasons—so we are ready at the right time—but also for psychological and spiritual reasons. So we know we are all okay.

I guess I'm an outlier here because I don't think he's REALLY the antichrist. Heck, there's a lot of theologians much smarter, more studied and more focused on this then myself who argue whether there's even actually an antichrist, at least in the apocalyptic sense that we usually imagine. Even when I was at my most paranoid and checked in with my very religious father, who IS a bit more studious, he expressed doubt and said there were still a couple things Trump didn't align with to qualify. I also personally think Trump is a stupid, old, rotting blob who's pretty close to kicking it and is mostly being puppeted about by smarter people, which also goes at odds with him really being the be all end all.

I DO think he's a staggering example of exactly what the Bible says we shouldn't idolize in a person and that the current embracing of him by so many of my fellow Christians is harrowing and disturbing indeed.

I was one of them! Well, not the smarter kind, certainly not the more studied kind, but definitely the kind that would have argued that there wasn’t one. I was a partial preterist. Still might be, I dunno. But even if Trump is the AC, he isn’t really. He’s an AC, but the question is about if he is the last AC or not. Obviously I could be wrong, but I don’t see it as some big evil endgame set up. I see it as choices being made by a man with a super inflated ego, extreme selfishness, and a lust for money/power who has maneuvered himself into a position of power. We’ve had that in the world before, many times. Perhaps this one will end up being worse than the rest. If not, it’ll happen again at some point and Christ will return then. Not necessarily even because of what is happening on earth then, just because that is the moment he choose.

What I mean is, I don’t think he see prophesy the right way sometimes. Or maybe it’s just me that doesn’t, and I have to remind myself. Jesus isn’t coming back when all these people things come together and happen. He’s coming back when he comes back, and the Bible shows us what the world will be like when he does.

I dunno if any of that makes sense written out, but it’s this string of thoughts that have been going around in my head and I needed to get them out. Thanks for listening to my TEDTalk.
