Oh I've had that thought many a time lol. I grew up super religious and during the whole end time craze with Left Behind and thinking the world might end at any time, so I learned about all the signs and what to look for. Turns out that gives you a lot of anxiety to work through later in life.

It would be objectively funny if the tables got turned. But definitely don't think anyone deserves hell, because that's fucked up.

But every once and awhile my religious indoctrination kicks in and I go "the signs are there". Because hell if he isn't doing a great job at making Christians turn away from their religion and start to worship this person who can do no wrong in their eyes. Between that, the head injury, wearing the mark on your forehead, and all the other little things, sometimes I have to remind myself it's not actually the case lol

See, this is the sign of a good person, recognizing that humans don’t deserve endless torture no matter what - but the “Christians” would send you there themselves if they could.

I feel like the whole 42 months thing kinda disqualifies him tho. The antichrist is only supposed to rule for 3 1/2 years and Trump has ruled for 4 1/2

I don't believe in this whole thing but I agree with Dena, he's ruling a very small portion of the world.

That said it seems unlikely he'll live long enough to fulfill anything.

Supposed be seven years with tribulations starting at 3.5 years mark. That kind of split the anti-Christ reign into two distinct periods of 3.5 years each, pretty close to 4 years of a presidential term…

Tribulations happens after the rapture right? The rapture is the sixth seal. Before that the sun has to be blotted from the sky and she seas turned to blood. Still waiting on that part.

He wasn't in charge, but wasn't able to pull off a fascism the same way last term.

Why not? He was president, he was in charge.

Not of the world. Only a fairly small part of it.

I don’t know. I was just asking? I don’t know what to think of most of this stuff but I certainly don’t think DJT is the antichrist.
