About this deal

In such a system, supporting Trump’s indictment equals opposing God. One recent example of this melding of religion and “us-vs-them” political fascism was Trump’s March campaign rally in Waco, which was punctuated by a hymn-like treatment of the National Anthem sung by the so-called J6 Choir, blessings from Christian-nationalist pastor and court evangelical Robert Jeffress, and Trump’s own angry insistence that Christians are being persecuted by the FBI. The distinction is relevant. As Hannah Gais pointed out in the Outline last year, the term initially identified “those who refused to confess Christ’s presence on Earth or his divinity.” But the eschatology popular with many conservative Evangelicals holds that there is one Antichrist, who will bring about Armageddon. Biblical literalists of a certain stripe have long speculated that a president would make an ideal Antichrist, though this interpretation is not universal. The Left Behind series, which terrorized Christian youth groups in the late 1990s and early 2000s, gives us an Antichrist from Romania, who exists thanks to genetic experimentation by a Satanic cult.

The second horseman of the apocalypse is described in the Book of Revelation as having the power "to take peace from the earth, and that they should kill one another." President Trump will be arrested during Lent – a time of suffering and purification for the followers of Jesus Christ,” Joseph McBride, a rightwing lawyer who represents several insurrectionists, tweeted last March. “As Christ was crucified, and then rose again on the third day, so too will Donald Trump.” None Of Us Knows Anything For Certain’: Christian Apologist And Prominent Atheist Debate God’s ExistenceAs each of the seals are broken, they are generally believed to represent the rise of the Antichrist, war among mankind, death and starvation, before judgment is said to occur. But first consider the question from the secular perspective, which argues these two terms represent, at their core, metaphors for the embodiment of good and evil. We know God works in mysterious ways, and many good Christians are talking about how clear a sign Donald Trump’s desire to fornicate with his own daughter is that God wants him to do so. In the apocalyptic fan fiction of the 1970s like "The Late, Great Planet Earth" and the "Left Behind" series two decades later, Christians were unambiguous in their rejection of "the man of perdition" and his evil ways.

In the 1950-60s it was common to hear from conservatives Christians that the Soviet Union was the “beast,” which had “feet like those of a bear” (Rev. 13:2). The bear is of course the Russian totem animal, and some Revelation junkies still support this thesis. But Trump is banking on the rest of us growing weary, wavering in our resolve to oppose his campaign, being unable to unite around our common values to support a candidate who can beat him. We must not prove him right. Pontius Pilate, on the other hand, was a regional Roman dictator known not only for his cruelty, but also for his alliance with local religious leaders. The high priests were eager to collude with the governor, including to crucify Jesus, because it allowed them to keep their status and personal freedom. In turn, Pilate benefited by having allies who could keep his subjects in line and thus keep him in power. It was a great deal for everyone—everyone but the people.I passed on drawing a conclusion, but then the lines lit up with a steady stream of people over the next few hours offering their "proofs" that Trump was, in fact, the Evil One come to ravage the Earth. That first caller clearly hit a nerve. The 'seal' could refer to a Biblical reference in Revelation, discussing the Apocalypse. He could be calling to his so-called evangelical fans," tweeted Rob Harrison, who described himself as an evangelical Christian. Some Trump supporters have noticed the use of the word "seal," and have drawn similar conclusions, though differed on which seal he was suggesting had been broken. And God said unto Abraham, as for Sara thy wife…I bless her, and give thee a son also of her… — Genesis 17:15–16, Genesis 20:11–12
