Anti-christ? Can it be Trump?

Has it occured to anyone else here that Trump may be the antichrist. For anyone who is familiar with the christian description and characteristics of the antichrist Trump would seem to conform perfectly.

Yes, it has. Here is a poll that I posted back in April : )

He wrote his administration into the front of the Bible and so I doubt it very much. They hold prayer meetings at the start to the day. Sounds as if he’s very much a Christian. He was also extremely respectful towards the faith of the Church when he visited the Vatican with his wife and to such a point that his exemplary behaviour reflects what I would consider to be Catholic.

And they probably close the Prayer with, “In the name of Israel” ; )

I’m only half-joking. Evangelical Christianity has become about serving the State of Israel. They are Dispensationalists and they confuse “Israel” of the Bible with the State formed in 1948.

The MAGA Bible has more to do with President Trump’s ego or wallet than it does about his being a Christian. He’d sell Trump Holy Water if he could. And Jesus would be forming a whip out of cords.

The antichrist is characterized by “lawlessness,deception and a desire to be worshipped in place of God”. Pretending to hold the Bible in high esteem is deception. Lawlessness is attempting to overthrow a democratic election result. A desire to be worshipped is, perhaps, the defining characteristic which we have all witnessed in Trump.

I agree.

Most of the Early Church Fathers, however, believed that the Anti-Christ would be Jewish and would be well-liked. I don’t believe President Trump is either, though his daughter, Ivanka, did convert to Judaism in 2009. Maybe she will become the anti-Christ ; )

Those of the Jewish religion don’t tend to be lawless, but the opposite - overly zealous, if anything. I would hazard a guess and reckon on a businessman with political ties. Not Islamic, either, because I think I recall the Book of Revelation mentioning people being swayed by him, whereas, running contrary to that, as said in another post, the only people swayed by Islam are Muslims. That said, I don’t see the connection with Trump and family to any subject which is anti-Christian. If Trump hated Christianity and was militantly pro-choice then that would at least be a start, while in actuality such jibes are mere blathering. I am guessing the anti-Christ will in fact either be Italian or English, or simply an individual from a socialist country.

Maybe instead of throwing punches at your own president, you could begin with researching the WEF and too the Freemasons.

We are the antichrist. Trump is simply the agent of supply. As we sew, so shall we reap. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. It is not simply a good sentiment; it is a warning. The 10 commandments are there. The history as depicted in the Bible tells how when the people are moral and keep God’s commandments, there is all good fortune for the state. And when they break the commandments, the whole state structure fractures and everything goes wrong. So in this sense, Trump is simply the agent of supply. When the world is pious, God creates peace and harmony. And when the world is impious, there are floods, draughts, hurricanes, forest fires, volcanos, earthquakes and Trumps. Trump is the sum total of all bad fortune on the country and on the planet. He is simply the agent of supply, and we are receiving what we deserve. Wither one believes that God is in control, or one doesn’t believe like that. If one believes, then they see Trump as God’s wake-up call to all of us. This is my conviction.

I don;t think Trump has asked anybody to worship him or created a false peace.

I think we aren’t in a position to accuse and judge anybody as the Antichrist. However, Trump is someone whom anyone can really defend. He is pretty bad, but I think it is important to notice that he isn’t the only bad person in the world. He is very influential, which is why we can notice what he does, but I bet there are a lot of people who are just as bad, and maybe even worse, out there. We can’t do anything about it apart from keeping our faith, reviewing our values, and praying for this world, which has become the home of thousands of bad people, including Trump.

The idea that a political figure would be the antichrist comes from Hollywood. Its not biblical.

The antichrist must be a false bishop, not some political figure. Jesus is an apostle and a bishop, therefore His nemesis must be a false bishop. Judas Iscariot was a false bishop, who persecuted Jesus.

In charity to all, I would like to shed more light on the fact that the antichrist must be a false bishop. Its my hope that everyone will see the truth? Please read it and take it slowly over time. Let it sink in with good will.

First let us identify, biblically, the fact that Jesus is an apostle and a bishop.

Hebrews 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly vocation, consider the (APOSTLE) and high priest of our confession, Jesus:

1 Peter 2:24-25 Who his own self bore our sins in his body upon the tree: that we, being dead to sins, should live to justice: by whose stripes you were healed. For you were as sheep going astray; but you are now converted to the (SHEPHARD) and (BISHOP) of your souls.

Definition of “ANTI”. one that is (opposed).

Definition of “Christ”. Anointed one.

Judas Iscariot was the “Son of Perdition” who persecuted Jesus and betrayed Jesus.

John 17:12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name. Those whom thou gavest me have I kept; and none of them is lost, but the (son of perdition), THAT THE SCRIPTURES MAY BE FULFILLED.

Acts 1:16-20 (MEN, BRETHREN, THE SCRIPTURES MUST NEEDS BE FULFILLED), which the Holy Ghost spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was the leader of them that apprehended Jesus: Who was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. And he indeed hath possessed a field of the reward of iniquity, and being hanged, burst asunder in the midst: and all his bowels gushed out. And it became known to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem: so that the same field was called in their tongue, Haceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. For it is written in the book of Psalms: Let their habitation become desolate, and let there be none to dwell therein. And his (BISHOPRIC) let another take.

Without a doubt, we are in the last days of the end times. St. Paul warns of a great revolt will happen with the members of the church, after all the church is living, not just a building. And with this revolt, later would come the son of perdition; the antichrist, who sits in the temple of God.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-7 Let no man deceive you by any means, for unless there come a revolt first, and the man of sin be revealed, the (SON OF PERDITION, WHO OPPOSETH), and is lifted up above all that is called God, or that is worshipped, so that (he sitteth in the temple of God), shewing himself as if he were God. Remember you not, that when I was yet with you, I told you these things?

What is the revolt that the “catholic members” begin to embrace that began in the early 1800’s and only got worse with time??

Pope Leo XII Ubi Primum - 1824
13. Of course this error is not new, but in Our days it rages with a new rashness against the constancy and integrity of the Catholic faith. Eusebius cites Rhodo as his source for saying that the heretic Apelles in the second century had already produced the mad theory that faith should not be investigated, but that each man should persevere in the faith he was raised in.[11] Even those who put faith in a crucified man were to be saved, according to Apelles, provided that they engaged in good works. Rhetorius too, as We learn from St. Augustine, used to claim that all the heretics walked on the right road and spoke truth. But Augustine adds that this is such nonsense that he cannot believe it. [12] The current indifferentism has developed to the point of arguing that everyone is on the right road. …

Pope Pius IX Qui Pluribus - 1846
15. Also perverse is the shocking theory that it makes no difference to which religion one belongs, a theory which is greatly at variance even with reason. By means of this theory, those crafty men remove all distinction between virtue and vice, truth and error, honorable and vile action. They pretend that men can gain eternal salvation by the practice of any religion, as if there could ever be any sharing between justice and iniquity, any collaboration between light and darkness, or any agreement between Christ and Belial.

Please be carefully advised that it was in the year 1846 that Our Lady of La Salette appeared to two little children and warned that Rome would lose the faith and become the seat of the antichrist, the church would be in eclipse e.g. covered over by something.

Pope Clement XIII Summa Quae-1768
6. …Wherefore, Venerable Brothers, do not let ignorance, error, fear, or human considerations prevent you from zealously carrying out your episcopal duties…

7. Let them realize that the first role of their ministry is to act as a firm wall of defense for the (house of Israel) against all hostile attacks.

Pope Pius VI Inscrutabile-1775
2. …Assuredly “with such reason for fear, we would have no hope of escaping slavery except that the Guardian of Israel, who does not sleep, says to His disciples: ‘Behold I am with you all days even to the consummation of the world.’ He deigned to be not merely the guardian of the sheep, but the (shepherd of the shepherds) as well.”[3]

6. …You yourselves, established as scouts in (the house of Israel), see clearly the many victories claimed by a philosophy full of deceit. You see the ease with which it attracts to itself a great host of peoples, concealing its impiety with the honorable name of philosophy.

Pope Pius IX Apostolicae Nostrae Caritatis-1854
6. Set to work then, venerable brothers, since you have been called to share in Our cares and have been placed as guardians over (the walls of Jerusalem). Do not cease night and day to cry to the Lord Our God with Us.

St. Ignatius of Antioch [Apostolic Father]; a disciple of St. John of the Apocalypse

Acts 11:26 And they conversed there in the church a whole year; and they taught a great multitude, so that at Antioch the disciples were first named Christians.

The Epistle of Ignatius to the Smyrnaeans Chapter 8. 50 A.D. - 110 A.D.

Chapter 8. Let nothing be done without the bishop
8. See that you all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery as you would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. … CHURCH FATHERS: Epistle to the Smyrnaeans (St. Ignatius)

St. Ignatius cites the book of Hebrews in his Letter to the Smyrnaeans, regarding bishops.

Hebrews 13:16-17 And do not forget to do good, and to impart; for by such sacrifices God’s favour is obtained.
Obey your prelates [bishops], and be subject to them. For they watch as being to render an account of your souls; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief. For this is not expedient for you.

There is a prophecy in Matthew’s gospel. Jesus says that there will be a great deception in the end times. There will be false Christs and that only a few will be able to recognize the antichrist. He says the deception will be so great, that if possible the elect [the few] would also be deceived by this coming deception. But by the grace of God, the elect do recognize the antichrist by what he says and what he does in action.

Matthew 24:25 24 For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders, insomuch as to deceive (if possible) even the elect. Behold I have told it to you, beforehand.

St. Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica, Pt. I-II, Q. 103, A. 4: “All ceremonies are professions of faith, in which the interior worship of God consists. Now man can make profession of his inward faith, by deeds as well as by words: and in either profession, if he make a false declaration, he sins mortally.”

Pope Pius XII, Mystici Corporis Christi - 1943
23. For not every sin, however grave it may be, is such as of its own nature to sever a man from the Body of the Church, as does schism or heresy or apostasy.

What is the biblical and Magisterial definition of antichrist.

Pope St. Pius X E Supremi—1903
5. When all this is considered there is good reason to fear lest this great perversity may be as it were a foretaste, and perhaps the beginning of those evils which are reserved for the last days; and that there may be already in the world the “Son of Perdition” of whom the Apostle speaks (II. Thess. ii., 3). Such, in truth, is the audacity and the wrath employed everywhere in persecuting religion, in combating the dogmas of the faith, in brazen effort to uproot and destroy all relations between man and the Divinity! While, on the other hand, and this according to the same apostle is the distinguishing mark of Antichrist, man has with infinite temerity put himself in the place of God, raising himself above all that is called God; in such wise that although he cannot utterly extinguish in himself all knowledge of God, he has contemned God’s majesty and, as it were, made of the universe a temple wherein he himself is to be adored. “He sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself as if he were God” (II. Thess. ii., 2).

1 John 4:3 And every spirit (THAT DISSOLVETH JESUS, IS NOT OF GOD: AND THIS IS ANTICHRIST), of whom you have heard that he cometh, and he is now already in the world.

What does it mean to dissolve Jesus??

Since Jesus, in the Incarnation, has two natures; divine and human, if His two natures were mixed, its then, that the human nature of man, would become divine, making man as god, instead of Jesus Christ true God and true Man.

In the Incarnation, the two natures of Jesus are unmixed, there is no confusion of the natures.

Pope Leo I Council of Chalcedon – 451 A.D.

…So, following the saintly fathers, we all with one voice teach the confession of one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ: the same perfect in divinity and perfect in humanity, the same truly God and truly man, of a rational soul and a body; consubstantial with the Father as regards his divinity, and the same consubstantial with us as regards his humanity; like us in all respects except for sin; begotten before the ages from the Father as regards his divinity, and in the last days the same for us and for our salvation from Mary, the virgin God-bearer as regards his humanity; one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, only-begotten, acknowledged in two natures which undergo no confusion, no change, no division, no separation; at no point was the difference between the natures taken away through the union, but rather the property of both natures is preserved and comes together into a single person and a single subsistent being; he is not parted or divided into two persons, but is one and the same only-begotten Son, God, Word, Lord Jesus Christ, just as the prophets taught from the beginning about him, and as the Lord Jesus Christ himself instructed us, and as the creed of the fathers handed it down to us.

Before I reveal the actual antichrist from the scriptures that has already come and gone, I would like to reveal a noteworthy false bishop [antichrist] that dissolved Jesus; his name is Bishop Nestorius who sat in the second See after the first See of Rome; the See of Constantinople.

Pope Vigilius Second Council of Constantinople — 553 A.D.
“The holy synod of Ephesus, meeting in accordance with the will of God, has pronounced sentence against the heresy of Nestorius and has condemned according to justice and with accuracy both Nestorius himself and all those who might later, in inane fashion, adopt the same opinions as he held, and those who had previously adhered to the same opinions and who were bold enough to put them in writing, placing upon them all an equal condemnation. It was quite logical that when a condemnation was issued against one person for such stupidity in what he said, then that condemnation should apply not only to that person alone but also, so to speak, against all those who spread the heresies and untruths. They express these falsehoods against the true dogmas of the church, offering worship to two sons, (trying to divide what cannot be divided), and introducing to both heaven and earth the offence of the (worship of man).

Dom Prosper Guéranger, The Liturgical Year, Vol. 4 (St. Cyril of Alexandria), p. 379: “It was then that Satan produced Nestorius… enthroned in the Chair of Constantinople… In the very year of his exaltation, on Christmas Day 428, Nestorius, taking advantage of the immense concourse which had assembled in honor of the Virgin Mother and her Child, pronounced from the Episcopal pulpit the blasphemous words: ‘Mary did not bring forth God; her Son was only a man, the instrument of the Divinity.’ The multitude shuddered with horror. Eusebius, a simple layman, rose to give expression to the general indignation, and protested against this impiety. Soon a more explicit protest was drawn up and disseminated in the name of the members of this grief-stricken Church, launching an anathema against anyone who should dare to say: ‘The Only-begotten Son of the Father and the Son of Mary are different persons.’ This generous attitude was the safeguard of Byzantium, and won the praise of popes and councils. When the shepherd becomes a wolf, the first duty of the flock is to defend itself.’” Dom Prosper Gueranger, The Liturgical Year, Fitz william, NH: Loreto Publications, 2000, Vol. 4, p. 379.

Who is the antichrist spoken of in the scriptures that has dissolved Jesus into every man; 8.3 billion men.

ITS JOHN PAUL II.

He said that in the Incarnation, Jesus united Himself, with each man, every man himself. To say such a thing is to say that human nature is divine.

Antipope John Paul II, Redemptor Hominis #13, March 4, 1979: “… by his Incarnation, he, the Son of God, in a certain way united himself with (EACH MAN).”

Antipope John Paul II, Homily, July 2, 1986: “… the Son of God, incarnate in the womb of the Virgin Mary, ‘has in a certain way united himself with (each man).’”

Antipope John Paul II, Homily, April 8, 1987: “… by his incarnation the Son of God has united himself in a certain way with (EACH PERSON).

Antipope John Paul II, Letter to Families (# 2): “… the Son of God, who in the Incarnation ‘united himself in some sense (WITH EVERY MAN).’”

In fact, John Paul II said that Christmas is the feast of man!!

Antipope John Paul II URBI ET ORBI MESSAGE OF HIS “HOLINESS” JOHN PAUL II CHRISTMAS 1978

1. I am addressing this message to every human being, to man in his humanity. Christmas is the feast of man. …

And so it is, because few are saved, it was the few, that recognized John Paul II as the antichrist because of what he said and what he did in action.

In 1986 John Paul II called all the false gods of the world to come to Assisi Italy to perform their pagan worship. This has never been seen before in Catholic history. It was called the “Assisi Prayer Day For Peace”.

Exodus 23:2 Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil: neither shalt thou yield in judgment, to the opinion of the most part, to stray from the truth.

St. Basel Letter 257 4th Century
Remember that it is not the multitude who are being saved, but the elect of God. Be not then affrighted at the great multitude of the people who are carried here and there by winds like the waters of the sea.

Saint Anselm: “If thou wouldst be certain of being in the number of the elect, strive to be one of the few, not of the many. And if thou wouldst be quite sure of thy salvation, strive to be among the fewest of the few… Do not follow the great majority of mankind, but follow those who enter upon the narrow way, who renounce the world, who give themselves to prayer, and who never relax their efforts by day or by night, that they may attain everlasting blessedness.” (Fr. Martin Von Cochem, The Four Last Things, p. 221.)

So you are calling President Trump “Hitler” and anyone who likes him “Nazis”? How original ; )

Not really given the orange felon that much “ credit”.

Do you realize that we are in the last days of the end times?

We are living in the end times. This is the teaching of the Church. I think the difference between you and me, however, is that I put my energy on the things that I have control over. Filling my oil lamp to play on the parable that Jesus told about being prepared.

I do not waste my time looking for signs and so-called modern prophesies. I focus on Christ and my relationship with Him and with those I love.

I do not live in fear, but rather put my trust in the Lord my God.
