I appreciate you pulling all of this together. My only issue with it is that it ascribes a religious reason for Trump and such reasoning denies the, very scary, human reason for Trump. Religion, here, is providing a reason and that reason is so much more comforting than the reality that we've allowed fascism to take over our country and religious institutions.
I wish it was the "end of days", but, in reality, this is just more human suffering and more to come. I wish we weren't capable of this.
I don’t personally believe in it. For what it’s worth, I think it’s generally accepted there are multiple antichrists, and the catholic church believes the end times will just happen randomly, not triggered by any specific person, or event, etc.
I always thought revelations would be more subtle. Like my dumbass would trouble recognizing the signs. Trump is just too obvious. Still amazes me how people are infatuated with him.
It's the obviousness of it that almost makes it feel biblical. Like those awful left behind movies in the early 00s. At least they picked a classically attractive (if entirely untalented) actor to play the antichrist. Even back then, though, he wasn't the US president. He was the leader of the UN... Even back then, American Christians refused to accept that America today plays the role of Egypt in the OT and Rome in the NT.
