The Fourth Beast: Is Donald Trump the Antichrist?

Product Information

Is Donald Trump the Antichrist? Lots of Christians are talking about this, and it’s a good question. He tried to damage or dismantle political and military systems designed to keep peace in the world, including the UN, NATO and the Iran JCPOA If you're a believer in absurd things like Christian nationalism tinged with QAnon, Aug. 13 is the day Donald John Trump is to be "reinstated to the presidency of the United States."

Why George Santos’ lies are even worse than the usual political lies – a moral philosopher explains He watched on TV, like a delighted child, as his followers killed a police officer, sent 140 others to the hospital, and tried to murder the Vice President and Speaker of the House He embraced murderers, kleptocrats and "strongman" rulers while ridiculing western democracies and their elected leaders Last week, Donald Trump was arrested on 34 charges of falsifying business documents to pay hush money to Stormy Daniels, a porn star with whom he allegedly cheated on his wife. The hush money was necessary not to harm his chances of winning over his base, which once called themselves the “Moral Majority.” And nearly all of Trump’s so-called Christian supporters rallied around him, declaring this trial a “witch hunt,” defending his innocence despite the fact that he has a long and noted history of cheating on his wives, boasting about sexually assaulting women, and using his money to silence his accusers.Over the first several centuries of the Christian tradition, the scholars of the early Church started to pore over an array of other Biblical characters, finding references to the Antichrist within them: the “abomination of desolation” in the books of Daniel and Matthew; “the man of lawlessness” and “ the son of perdition” in a letter of Paul. We must not lose faith in our collective ability to counter fascism, racism, sexism, transphobia and xenophobia. We must not lose hope in the vision Jesus actually cast of a world where the simple act of loving our neighbor creates a more just and equal world for us all.

Heading toward the Iowa caucus, Trump runs six points better among white evangelicals than overall. As for the devout Pence, a plurality of white evangelicals view him unfavorably. Now, Donald Trump has had problems with the law, and people are saying that he is a rapist and a mobster. This shows a disregard for man’s law.I respect the intellectual honesty of these conservative Christians: “Intentionally spreading such misinformation [about Obama] will likely make it more difficult to recognize the true Antichrist once he appears on the scene. . . .Rather than speculating and demonizing, our responsibility is to be wise and discerning, based on what the Bible says about the Antichrist.”
