Revelation 6:2 - the antichrist will be obsessed with winning

Revelation 13:3 - the antichrist will cause people all over the world to be filled with wonder and follow him

Revelation 13:4 - people worship a beast that has come out of the sea (some theologians say this means the world of high finance and politics). The dragon (Satan) gave the beast its power, throne, and authority. The people worship the dragon and the beast, asking, "Who is like the beast? Who can make war with him?".

Daniel 11:21 - the antichrist will be a political outsider with despicable character and a contemptuous personality who wins an election that no one expects he could win

Daniel 7:20 - the antichrist will give speeches where he speaks great things and even greater things than others

Daniel 11:23 - the antichrist comes to power through an alliance using deception to help him win, and he does this with a minority of supporters

Daniel 11:24 - as leader, the antichrist will make himself and his friends richer as no other leader before him ever accomplished

Daniel 11:39 - the antichrist will reward those who are completely loyal to him with powerful positions and lucrative real estate deals

Revelations 13:5–6 - the antichrist will give a speech where he will utter great words and blasphemies, including using God's name in vain [many would say that the claiming that Trumpy is sent by God is a kind of Blaspheming taking of God's name in vain]

Matthew 24:24 and Thessalonians 2:10 - the antichrist will draw strong support from many Christians who are willfully blind and deluded, these are false Christians who are headed to destruction. The antichrist will attempt to fool true Christians but will fail because true discerning christians know truth from error

Revelation 13:3 - the antichrist will appear to receive a fatal wound to the head but will survive it to the world's amazement

Revelation 13:11-12 - another false leader will arise in support of the first false leader the antichrist and will deceive the world [many have brought up the personages of Elon Musk and/or Mohammed Bin Salman]

Daniel 11:37-38 - the antichrist will honor power, the military and border walls

Fatal wound to the head. The bullet grazed him. If it hits dead center forehead and he lives, then we have a reason to fear.

Everything else is scarily accurate though.

No, because the concept is based on silly superstition and false prophecies.

That said, he certainly resembles what an antichrist would be like.

Daniel 11:25 - The Antichrist will spend his first term in office having an ongoing feud with the leadership of the nation on his southern border. “He will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South…”

No I dont think Trump is the Anti-Christ because I am a preterist in the Church of Christ who thinks Revelation is mostly referring to Ancient Rome and its persecution of Christians. I just dont take the last book of the Bible as being literal. I think most of it has already happened.

Nah, he's a testimony to to the stupidity of human beings. After WWII we the so called enlightened civilisations wouldn't have thought we could sink any deeper.

George Orwell - Hold my beer...

He is a symptom of underlying unaddressed social issues...not the cause

I don't believe there is an antichrist. For centuries many different people have been accused as being the antichrist. Notice how most of them are famous or infamous and not just some unknown person. Some forums have said Jerry Seinfeld is the antichrist. I have no idea why. Because he's Jewish? Because he can't understand what the deal is with airline food?

(Jerry has never really asked what the deal is with airline food, btw)

Joking aside, Trump does have many Hitler-esque traits that have one him the adoration of many Neo Nazis and other humans with the IQ of a vegetable. So he's more deserving of the antichrist label than, say, Oprah.

I don't believe in any supernatural beings, so I don't think Trump or anybody else is an antichrist, except in a poetical sense. He's just a right-wing populist who's managed to get to the top of the US hierarchy, and is now messing about with things he either doesn't understand, or he's got some cunning plan to avoid being rounded on in the seemingly likely event of the economy going into recession. They got sick of Boris in the UK, and have gone back to the boring brand of politics instead of thinking that some charismatic maverick could save the country. Experiment over. But in the USA, they've given Trumpy another chance. Hopefully they'll change their minds before the damage is too much. But he isn't supernatural. Presidents seem to have more power than prime ministers, but they're not invincible.

I looked up the church of Christ definition of "Anti-Christ" and it just means someone who claims to be Christ and/or someone who is against Christ. I believe there have been many Anti-Christs throughout history and there are many Anti-Christs today and will be many more in the future. However I do believe Trump is one of the Anti-Christs because he is billionaire and is a con-man and is a serial adulterer and a liar.

this one seems to be protected by the principalities themselves. he is going to bedevil us for the duration.

Lutherans, as with most mainline Protestants and Catholics, are theologically amillennialistic.
