Trump can't be the anti-Christ because the anti-Christ would supposedly also preach about peace and love and all that good jazz, just like Jesus did. The difference is, it would be a trap. The dude lies all the time, but is pretty open about being a hateful fascist.

Elon, and Neurolink, on the other hand...

He does do that, that's part of why he got so many evangelicals to vote for him. Do you remember his response after his disaster of a meeting with Zelensky? He said to come back when you're ready for peace (lmao). He also heaps tons of praise and "love" on his followers at all those rallies.

I don't believe in the antichrist personally but I really couldn't think of a better candidate for it than him. It's honestly kind of hilarious they don't see it.

The fact they can't see it is the whole point.

Maybe Satan sent LaHaye and Jenkins down to trick us.

Their antichrist, Nicky Carpathia, is well spoken and beloved by the world. At one point he gives a speech where he just lists off all of the member nations of the UN while looking each dignitary deeply in the eye, and this is so moving that this brings everyone to tears.

The way he comes to power and prominence is denuclearization and solving the Israel/Palestine conflict (iirc, there’s magical ‘plant grow good’ stuff that he trades with all of those desert Muslim nations that would of course all collectively agree to resettle all Gazans in exchange for the ability to turn Cairo into cornfields)

He’s also so fuckable. One of the characters gets knocked up by him just so that the authors can basically have the character (and audience) subjected to anti-abortion propaganda. All abortion is bad, even if it’s the antichrist’s baby!

I don’t understand how the Neurolink shit isn’t screaming “Mark of the Beast” to everyone who read the series though. It’s going to be hilarious if all of the evangelicals do line up to get their microchips because Papa Trump told them too.

Imagine the evangelist being the ones going to hell, and the nihilists being spared in a plot-twist.

When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

[…]

Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’

[…]

Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

(Didn’t we do a good job telling all of them queers about their sexual immorality and stopping all of those abortions?)

And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

No, trump pretty much preaches about his peaceful violence and loving insurrection.
