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

      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…

        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!

        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.

        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.

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

          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.

            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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
