The Nature of the Beast
Here’s why the worshipers of the Devil submit to the Beast:
Rev. 13:4They worshiped the dragon, because he gave his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with him?” A mouth speaking great things and blasphemy was given to him. Authority to make war for forty-two months was given to him. He opened his mouth for blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his dwelling, those who dwell in heaven. It was given to him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them. Authority over every tribe, people, language, and nation was given to him. All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been killed. If anyone has an ear, let him hear.
Now doesn’t that sound like Trump and his slavish minions? Outrageous lies, absolute power over his followers, limitless vanity, and war on all who resist; check, check, check and double check. It fits all too well.
Donald Trump as Antichrist explains so much:
- How he has been able to totally flaunt all civilized norms and effortlessly get away with everything without suffering any consequences, no matter what.
- How so many former competitors and political opponents he has bullied, harassed, and publicly insulted suddenly shut up and turn into fawning followers and lick-spittle lackeys.
- How seemingly smart, sensible people who truly care about this country could fall for the sales pitch of this cheap, bullying hustler, standing by him in defiance of all reason and decency.
- How supposed Christians could support this serial adulterer and accused rapist as divinely chosen despite his flagrant contempt for all morality, shameless lack of repentance, and lack of faith in anything but his own ego.
- How that bitter old man continues on and on and on, relentlessly, ceaselessly, despite all those Big Macs, fried chicken, lack of exercise, raging midnight tantrums, and ever more obvious dementia.
Trump even beat Covid, after being responsible for the deaths of thousands! Is that justice? If God’s on his side, why, God, why?
As a spiritual person, I can only imagine one reason: this grand delusion is for our punishment, naturally. Nothing else makes any sense. Donald Trump is divine retribution for what he personally embodies: unbridled American greed, rampant hypocrisy, and invincible arrogance. If you don’t believe in divine justice, then just consider him our bad karma finally come due. What goes around, comes around. Either way, we’re going to pay for it, kids, in full.
Trump has been lifted so high in order that he and his rotten legacy will eventually fall and be smashed into tiny little pieces, to be blown away by the desert wind. And all his followers with him. As the Bible grimly promises, “Then they will know that I am the Lord.” [Jer.16:21].
In any case, we are doubtless in for an awful world of hurt from this madman for a long time to come unless there is a miracle. If one does not save us from this wicked deception, will faith, courage, patience – and a good sense of humor – be enough to get us through this ordeal?
A wise but powerless judge in the Trumpian Trackdown episode tried to explain why he could not stop his neighbors. “When we were kids,” he told Hoby, “we were all afraid of the dark, and we grew up. We aren’t afraid of the dark anymore, but it’s funny how a big lie can make us all kids again.”
Yeah, real funny. So please, dear God, please have mercy on Your easily deceived and deluded children. All of us, including the poor MAGA fools who voted for him.
