Alright, this is Sunday, and as the First Speaker of the Doctrine of Universal Harmony, I think I ought to talk religion from time to time – especially on Sunday. So here is my sermon for this fine day. I hope it offers some insight. I know the people who need it most won’t accept it and that’s too bad, but if YOU see it, it will arm you with even more information about who represents evil in this race…

I think I started calling myself an atheist around age 14. I call myself an atheist because I had never seen anything from the Bible that might cause me to believe it as anything more than a story – and it’s a kind of weak story at that. There are LOTS of plot holes and inconsistencies and some of it seems to have been written on LSD. (It was probably peyote. LSD didn’t exist back then…) To be sure, I didn’t stop checking out religions at 14, but I was quite comfortable with the designation for myself.

You see, I was raised in a fairly religious household. We weren’t evangelical or fundamental but we did go to church regularly (read: without fail), my parents didn’t just attend, they participated, and we had ministers hanging around our house throughout my younger years. (My father had intended to be a Methodist minister but ended up in education, instead.) But one does NOT just easily walk away from the threats and fears (I mean, “teachings”) inculcated into a child’s mind before they can even think. It’s rather scary.

So, I hung around different faiths, trying to see if any of them could offer up some answers to questions I had that, in my mind, MUST have answers. I hung with the Baptists for a while. I hung with Catholics for a while. I even hung with an offshoot of Islam called the Baha’i faith for a while. (I don’t think they like being identified as an offshoot of Islam, but they are.) I never found answers and over time, decided that’s because the answers don’t exist. I don’t DO “The Lord works in mysterious ways.” According to the story, he’s supposed to be teaching us. One does NOT teach by telling people there’s something they MUST know, now guess what it is.

But who could spend so much time with religions and not have some of that stuff rub off on them? Nobody, that’s who. I’m no different. So I’ve got all these notions kicking around in my brain. It’s weird, being an atheist who references the Bible on a regular basis, but here I am. I like the philosophies. I mostly reject the theologies. I’ve gone on that way for, like, well, let’s just say a LOT of years. So, imagine my surprise when I realized I was seeing actual things, theological things, from the Bible that were supported by real life evidence – and ALL of them describe one man, Donald J. Trump.

If you count yourself a Christian but you support Donald Trump, this list is for you. Don’t worry. I don’t have any idea that you might re-consider your support. At this point, your fate is probably sealed. (That’s not up to me.) But you ought to know what you’re doing, according to the book you pretend to revere. So, what DOES the Bible say about Trump, I mean, the Anti-Christ? Actually, a LOT. Listen, this is LONG. Get a cup of coffee, relax, settle in, enjoy.

Oh, I should probably add that I didn’t pull all of these together. There’s a person on the web who did a video on the topic. I took his good work and ran with it. I don’t know his name, or I’d credit him. Or, if you’re MAGA, I don’t know his name so you can’t attack him.

I’ve written before that I like the King James Version (KJV) for it’s fiery orations but I ALSO like the New American Standard Bible (NASB) for easier understanding. Those “Thees” and Thous” get awfully confusing sometimes. So, I’ve referenced those two Bibles, depending on which translation I thought was most clear. MOST come from the NASB. Feel free to look them up. You can double check to see if you’ve been deceived by something I wrote, or warned…

For your edification:

The Anti-Christ will come in his own name and he will be accepted…
“I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.” (John 5:43 NASB)

Who promotes his own name more than Donald Trump? He slaps it on buildings. If you want to be in Trump’s good graces, say his name. Trump has come in his own name. The pseudo-Christian community has embraced him like he’s the second coming of Jesus. (Hey guys, wrong direction, there…)

The Anti-Christ has the mouth of a lion…
“…and his mouth like the mouth of a lion. And the dragon gave him his power and his throne, and great authority.” (Revelation 13:2 NASB)

A lion’s mouth and roar are one of the lion’s defining characteristics. It lets every other animal know that the lion is king of the beasts. In the Bible, having a mouth like a lion means you roar a lot in an attempt to let everyone know YOU are king, especially when you feel threatened. Think of the way Trump attacks his accusers and rejects all responsibility for wrong-doing. Many of Trump’s supporters have actually embraced seeing him being portrayed as a lion even though the Bible describes Satan as a lion walking around seeking someone to devour…
“…be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” (1 Peter 5:8 NASB) See?

The Anti-Christ is called the little horn…
“…behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the previous horns were plucked out before it; and behold, this horn possessed eyes like human eyes, and a mouth uttering great boasts.” (Daniel 7:8 NASB)

‘The Little Horn’ is one of the names given the Anti-Christ in the Bible. It refers to an actual horn but in this case, the horn was a metaphor. Just for fun, in the King James version, the word ‘trump’ appears twice, both times, in reference to a small trumpet. In this case, the horn (or trump) had eyes of a man and boasted great things.

The Anti-Christ is named the man of sin…
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that the man of sin be revealed, the son of Perdition.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3 KJV)

I’ve said before, Trump is the physical embodiment of the Seven Deadly Sins. But if you’re unsure, listen to him. He BRAGS about his lust, his greed, his wrath, his vengeance, and his inability to forgive.

The Anti-Christ is named the Lawless One…
“Then that lawless one will be revealed.” (2 Thessalonians 2:8 NASB)

This is part of the previous entry and is pretty self-explanatory. It’s interesting to note that the King James version refers to “that Wicked” instead of the “Lawless One.” A ‘man of sin’ and the ‘Lawless One’? BOTH seem excellent descriptions of Trump…

The Anti-Christ is deceitful and arrogant and magnifies himself above others…
“And through his shrewdness He will make deceit a success by his influence; And he will make himself great in his own mind…” (Daniel 8:25 NASB)
“After an alliance is made with him he will practice deception, and he will go up and gain power with a small force of people.” (Daniel 11:23 NASB)

Trump is filled with excessive pride about himself and he commonly exhibits contempt for people around him.

He’s not who he says he is. To hear him tell it, nobody knows more about anything good than Donald Trump. He knows it best. He knew it first. Maybe he invented it, he doesn’t know. But only if it’s something he counts as good. If not, he knows nothing about it, never heard of it, has no idea. Kind of a genius/moron…

The Anti-Christ is extremely boastful…
“Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt himself and boast against every god and will speak dreadful things against the God of gods.” (Daniel 11:36 NASB)
“A mouth was given to him speaking arrogant words and blasphemies, and authority to act for forty-two months was given to him.” (Revelation 13:5 NASB)

Trump regularly describes himself as the best, the smartest, the greatest, the most successful. Hey, let’s play a game of ‘Who Said It?’ Satan or Trump?

“You know I’m the coolest that’s ever come around.
You’ll notice things get hotter whenever I’m in town.
I mean I gotta be the coolest. Who else could it be?
Everybody knows who’s really cool…Me!

Let’s face it, I’m the greatest. I’m Mr. Number One.
My hometown built a statue to their favorite son.
I mean, I gotta be the greatest. I’m just a ball of fun.
I mean, I’m definitely the greatest. I’m also the coolest.

You can’t leave a package like me sitting on no shelf.
Let me tell you I’m so cool, sonny, I’m gonna save a little for myself.

Come here, come here, baby, Come over here a minute.
Who is the coolest? I mean how do I look?

You know the day I was born there were these four dudes up on a hill.
And they saw this star hanging out over town and the whole world seemed to stand still.
It made the Sunday papers. I guess it proves for sure…

I am the coolest. I’m also the greatest.
I am the baddest, I am the smoothest.
I’m just the best…”

Okay, trick question. The answer is Alice Cooper (a minister’s son) who captured Trump’s message back in 1976 with his album ‘Alice Cooper Goes To Hell.’ In the song, Satan is singing. (It’s a great album…) But it could easily have been Trump – and you know it…

The Anti-Christ will be a despicable person…
“And in his place a despicable person will arise, on whom the majesty of kingship has not been conferred; but he will come in a time of tranquility and seize the kingdom by intrigue.” (Daniel 11:21 NASB)

The King James version describes the Anti-Christ as a vile person. Vile, despicable, despicable, vile. Six of one, half a dozen of the other. He lacks class and decency. He’s a crass and vulgar person. This is a guy who rapes women, brags about it, and then doesn’t understand why the women in question are upset, suggesting it’s some kind of “honor” to be raped by Trump. Yeah, that’s despicable.

The Anti-Christ will disguise himself as an angel of light…
“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.” (2 Corinthians 11:13-14 NASB)

This passage might be the most important on this list right now. It teaches that the Anti-Christ will come as a strong supporter of Christianity and of Israel and masquerade himself as a defender of Christian values. He’s the kind of guy who might use violence to clear a path so he could get to a photo op outside a church (they wouldn’t let him in) and have a picture of himself taken while holding a Bible – upside down; The kind of guy who is SO religious, he knows to refer to one of the books of the Bible as “Two Corinthians.” Who does that?

The Anti-Christ will throw truth to the ground and do as he pleases…
“…and it will hurl truth to the ground and do as it pleases and be successful.” (Daniel 8:12 NASB)

“Then the king will do as he pleases, and he will exalt himself and boast against every god and will speak dreadful things against the God of gods; and he will be successful until the indignation is finished, because that which is determined will be done.” (Daniel 11:36)

Yeah, sure, this means he’s a pathological liar but, really, the truth just holds no value to him. He’ll use it if it works in his favor. He’ll set it aside if it doesn’t. And it’s all the same to him. It’s always to his advantage to leave people wondering what’s true and what’s not and if he can arrange that by lying willfully about everything, he will…and does…

The Anti-Christ will deny the Father and the son…
“This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son.” (1 John 2:22 NASB)

Trump, himself, said he never seeks God’s forgiveness. He doesn’t think he needs it. Christians are supposed to seek forgiveness from time to time…

The Anti-Christ will love money as it’s the root of all kinds of evil…
“For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil.” (1 Timothy 6:10 NASB)

Hey, here’s a quote from Donald Trump: “My whole life I’ve been greedy, greedy, greedy for money. I grabbed all the money I can get, I’m so greedy.” Also? He’s SO evil…

The Anti-Christ is revealed by the falling away…
“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that the man of sin be revealed, the son of Perdition.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3 KJV)

The people who fall away from the faith (MAGA), will fall towards the man of sin. This refers, specifically, to falling away from the teachings of Jesus and towards the Anti-Christ. So, they become someone who claims Christianity but rejects the teachings of Christ. Those people are readily identifiable when they espouse positions that are directly opposed to the teachings of Jesus. Pay attention to the person THAT person gravitates toward. The person they gravitate toward (Trump) is the Anti-Christ…

As an adjunct to that verse, the Bible talks about how Satan deceives the fallen Christians…
“For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness…” (2 Thessalonians 2:11-12 NASB)

Second Thessalonians, I’m sorry, I obviously meant ‘Two Thessalonians.’ What was I thinking? I guess that’s what I get for not knowing the Bible as well as the Trumpster. Anyway, that passage is reinforcing the idea people will believe what is false and they WILL be judged for it in the end, even though they were deceived. Put more simply, MAGA faith in Trump instead of God is going to cost them, bigly, in the afterlife.

The Anti-Christ has the ultimate ego to call himself God…
“…the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God.” (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 NASB)

No, he doesn’t SAY he’s God. He just claims the power of God. His followers may not realize it, but every time he claims to be the “only one who can save us,” he’s equating himself with God, and that’s a very clear no-no. It’s the result of his unbelievable, unrestrained ego…

The Anti-Christ understands ‘dark sentences…’
“And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.” (Daniel 8:23 KJV)

“Dark sentences” is also translated as “sinister schemes.” Donald Trump very definitely understands sinister schemes…

The Anti-Christ will amaze the world…
“I saw one of his heads as if it had been fatally wounded, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast;” (Revelation 13:3 NASB)

He’s running around right now talking about how he MAY have been “shot in the head.” I guess the ear IS attached to the head so, technically, it’s correct. I think “shot in the head” evokes a different image than a teeny, tiny owie to the ear but, whatever. Then his ear “healed” miraculously (most likely because there was never any injury) and people noticed. MAGA fell into line and is following after the beast right now.

The Anti-Christ will know great success…
“And his power will be mighty, but not by his own power, and he will destroy to an extraordinary degree and be successful and do as he pleases; He will destroy mighty men and the holy people.” (Daniel 8:24 NASB)

Trump’s power is unquestionably mighty but he gets great support from conservative and even mainstream media. Conservative media just lies for him and mainstream media tends to “clean up” his insanity. It’s so bad, a name has been coined for the process: “Sanewashing.” But he’s not using his power to help anybody but himself. In fact, he harms people with his word and he does, in fact, “destroy mighty men” with his lies…

The Anti-Christ has a stout look…
“…that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts, and which was larger in appearance than its associates.” (Daniel 7:20 NASB)

The King James version uses the word ‘Stout’ instead of ‘larger in appearance.’ ‘Stout’ is defined as haughty, full of oneself, and even heavyset. Frankly, I think the angel was just calling the Anti-Christ a fatty, but it IS an apt description of Trump…

The Anti-Christ spreads strife…
“A worthless person, a wicked man, is one who walks with a perverse mouth, who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet, who points with his fingers; who, with perversion in his heart, continually devises evil, who spreads strife.” (Proverbs 6:12 – 14 NASB)

Trump is running around right now spreading strife. His lies about the help available to the victims of Helene and now Milton are keeping people who believe him from seeking the help they need and that IS available. He’s actively harming people in an effort to score a few political points. But if we’re honest, this is just the latest example. Trump harms people all the time – and every time he does, MAGA defends him and doubles down on their faith in him. Their faith…IN HIM. I kinda wonder why the “jealous God” of the Bible doesn’t just…slap him down…

The followers of the Anti-Christ see him as a unique, unstoppable force that can’t be fought against…
“And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, ‘Who is like unto the beast? Who is able to make war with him?’” (Revelation 13:4 KJV)

For clarity: “And the great dragon was thrown down, the serpent of old who is called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.” (Revelation 12:9 NASB)

See? I told you it was long. It’s a pretty scary read, eh? I’d bet buttons to beans MAGA never made it through the list. They wouldn’t dare. Once they realized how accurate this is, they declared it bullshit and went back to their doom scrolling. Kudos to those who started, though, and kudos to you for making through. Now you know more than you knew before. Me, too, but I’ll tell you this: I wish I didn’t. I wish it didn’t fit so effing well. I wish people who call themselves ‘Christian’ would take it to heart. But I know many won’t…
