The one about the end times coming? Seems fitting! Does Christianity even have any other prophecies?

[–] [email protected] 96 points 5 months ago (3 children)

I mean, the one about the Antichrist fooling Christians fits so well that I'd probably believe it's actually happening if I believed in their bronze age fairy tales to begin with..

[–] [email protected] 22 points 5 months ago (1 children)

There's an entire website dedicated to relating each passage in the bible about the antichrist to trump. I don't remember what the site was, but a quick google search should get the result.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

I've seen it and it's damn convincing, pun intended 😁

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 months ago

There's the line about the beast that was wounded unto death and yet lived that seems vaguely apropos

13:3:

And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 months ago (2 children)

That is eerily similar. But then again, stuff like this probably also happened 2000 years ago. Just start doomprepping if people start wearing black and take up horseriding!

I have some bad news for you about several Olympic events..

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

How does one doom preps? Chainsaw, shotgun, green armor?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

No, that's Christmas.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

It does have grifters trying to "crack a code" in the bible. This "prophecy" is based on one of those grifters' prophecy.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

So not all Doomsday prophecies were wrong! 😮

Name one of the ten commandments Trump hasn't broken challenge [impossible]

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago

I think he hasn't broken the fifth

"Honor your father and your mother"

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I think he hasn't killed anyone, but then again what happened with Covid...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

You break that one if you get angry at someone

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Arguably he's done that one over and over in his speeches, and with the Central Park Five, and with the other people I'm sure he's fantasized about killing over the years.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

That's the thing- Murder starts in the heart with anger. It's the attitude of murder that's sinful in general. Same with lust being the start of adultery.

So God let him lose in 2020, but then decided he wanted him to back in 2024? God is pretty undecisive for an all mighty and all knowing kinda dude.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Nonono see God both has total control but also loses to Satan at the same time. Doesn't make sense? Something vague about free will!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

See, god has total control, knows everything and is the ultimate good. Sounds like something that can't be true when the world is the way it is? Well, someone very clever has found the perfect solution that explains everything: God must be extremely stupid.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Especially for a guy with a "Divine Plan." Did God have to change his plan? For Donald Trump?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

Of course that God had to change his plan to accommodate an higher being than himself.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

oh you mean god god man.

If things are going my way, it's God's prophecies (as interpreted by me) fulfilled.

If things are not going my way, it's God punishing us for not doing things my way.

Also: if a natural disaster hurts people I don't like, they're being punished by God. If it hurts me, God is just testing me.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (1 children)

These people are idiots. It's all made up crap.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

I grew up in an evangelical community, and Trump fits the exact definition and description of the anti Christ that we were given, even down to his ability to fool Christians into following him.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The death cult got their Anti-Christ back! The rapture is back on schedule.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

Who knew the prophecy of the apocalypse was self fulfilling

I will never understand Christians, we could have heaven on earth if we fucking built it, but they would rather destroy the world because of their fairy tale book

If there's a hell they're all going there.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

If you are looking for self-centred, gullible people who think that the status quo is to their benefit go to your local church.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

True. Or the DNC headquarters.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

I believe Trump, Putin, Xi and Netanyahu are the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. So I do believe a prophecy is being fulfilled, although not one worth celebrating.

Honestly? Wynn didn't sell Bajor out to the Cardassian Empire.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

She did attempt to hand it over to the pah-wraith tho.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

And?

Pah-wraiths are Bajoran.

Make Bajor Great Before/Always!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

Seeing as the Jesus of the Bible was absolutely a far-left liberal commie bastard by their standards, I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when they're the only ones not raptured at the end.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

Indeed, a prophecy fulfilled--Maelstrom. An soon-to-be hypercane, and extinction event. It will eliminate most, if not all life on Earth, due to climate change inaction. Or, abortions. It depends on whether you're a failed one or not.

My congratulations, America. Bask in your victory, oblivious to the true damnation you have caused. May humanity peacefully protest against the now-inevitable cataclysm you have brought upon yourselves.

Wretches.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 5 months ago

I mean, the book of Revelations is indeed a prophecy.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Oh yeah. This is the sort of stuff that will be in the news all the time from now on. It’s pretty crazy already, but just remember what it was like during the pandemic. We were so deep in crazy town that nothing was considered surprising any more.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

...wait how many plagues were supposed to be? I thought we were done with this after the locusts n' shit.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 5 months ago

There's the part where all the firstborn sons die unless their parents paint the walls with sheep's blood.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Aha! That's the second coming?
