This is the first time I have seen this thread. The OP is an obvious troll and does not deserve a response. In this great country even the ignorant and the idiots have a right to speak their mind.
And being this late stage in our country, there seems to be a premium on folly today. There is a pretty sizeable Christian current and school of thought that does not believe Trump is the AC, but tends to see Trump as a false prophet of some sort. There is a pretty sizeable bent that sees Trump as ushering in the harlot church (Paula White as an example) and perhaps ignite Babylon the Great. It is called the Luciferian Light theory. Where conservative political views are deemed to some degree a way to blend politics with righteousness. I suppose the epitome of this is not Trump but Doug Wilson's Christian Nationalism.
I'm just pointing this out because people that might come to the conclusion that perhaps Trump is antichrist is not likely exactly coming from a form of a vacuum in as much as it is perhaps a form of theory that lives in a neighborhood that does tend to be a bit blurring political and religious (specifically born again Christain) lines. Whatever that trend is (the political one), there is something to it. There is a push of conservative politics with Christianity. There is a push on the table for Christian Nationalism. To me it would be understandable though that concerns of what that is I believe on some levels should at minimum be a concern in Christian culture to at least keep an eye on. Because it is getting louder.
Personally, I don't believe that Christian Nationalism won will succeed. But I must admit, there does seem to be quite a ground swell in that direction with some certain momentum. Ultimately I believe America is becoming far more powerful today on behalf of Israel. A way to bring Israel to soon peace and safety in their region (Ez 38). That is just my personal conviction...which may not be accurate. But if it is, something like that would cause me to wonder if God might permit Christian Nationalism to mirror (as an end time church vibe)as a way Isreal also is to strengthen (but in her Judian perspective, not so much Christian...values in her own nation). My perspective on that has Israel tasting a miniature golf version of what is promised to her on the other side of her 70th week. And it does seem that God would want Israel to smell the wake up coffee on that. So if Christian Nationalism would tend to serve in that way, it is understandable why the blurring of Christian values and the political right might merge. Some would believe that perhaps to be a harlot church forming (because politics rather than the gospel might take the lead there). If it goes like that, i would not view that as a harlot church. But rather (in a totally controversial way for sure), that it potentially be Make Israel Great Again primer for the Ez 38 purpose.
I realize no one is talking like that. And none of that may even occur ever. But the trend, to me, does look in that direction. In 2017, when I saw Trump make changes he did in thwarting some Chinese major influence in global economics, it tripped me out. I literally said under my breath, "That is too much power for one man." And did have a concern that Trump might be the AC. That latest all but a couple of months. But there was something about him that was too big for it not to not mean something. And we don't really have prophetic alternatives to what it means now if a man runs around solving world crisis and ending 8 wars in 8 months. Plus everything else he does. With the greatest of respect DWB, brother, the definition of AC being a man that will solve world wars....that guy...well...he is kind of here already. lol. My sense, is we have not seen anything yet.
That does not mean i believe he is the antichrist. But i suppose in all fairness to those who might be confused and think something like AC could be an option is to me likely because we have no other option or category for whatever Trump seems to be becoming before us. So yeah although I agree it is pretty wacked to do a forum drive by telling everyone Trump is the AC is not mature, considerate, or even helpful. What it is though is, to me, not an unreasonable random sample of where the church might not have much else to go. Maybe i am mistaken. But let's say if Trump gets more and more powerful to ridiculous degree, aside from NAR thinking he is going to usher in Christian Nationalism to bring Christ back, what else might the church even make of that? We don't have a context exactly there though.
So although yes for sure we live in a time where whack jobs are the norm far too often...i really love pastor Adrian and TT's takes on this. Granted not all of us see the different factions forming or to what degree they might. But with the Luciferian Light theory, I see that quite a bit in differing modes. I also see a lot on the Christian Nationalism front. Perhaps with all the insanity going down over Trump, it can be of help to many because if this keeps going on like that, its just going to increase the number of people wondering. If that makes sense? Blessings.
