Appreciating DAVID BUMGARDNER’s insightful analysis originally posted at Baptist News; The Anti Christ is coming and is already here, I choose to let my mind run wild in imagination, so should you! However using “It is Written” to guide our imagination looking at what President Trump could not possibly become so we can see what others do not see! Why, because I deeply understand what peace is NOT as the world offers it, and in order to discern the Anti Christ we must first understand what peace truly is.
While everyone is looking at the Political aspect of the Anti Christ being obviously a tyrant, I want to look at Revelation. Ch. 13. 3, regarding the Fatal wound on one of the heads of the Beast, which had been healed and everyone followed the beast in Awe! Many Christians have unfortunately associated Trump’s attempted assassination with that verse. Basically we as Christians need to put pump on the brakes right here and put a stop to some of these crazy ideas. The Bible cannot be a sort of Simpsons play book. Christians, we need to turn back on our critical thinking skills and Bible reading skills, I am not trying to take away anyone’s excitement wanting to “see God” in our lifetime, talking about the rapture and using President Trump as an excuse for that wishful thinking. What I know is that as of now the world is on full display to us, she is darker right now, more than ever before and this is when we need the one true Prince of Peace, Christ Jesus.
However, what reality says to me now is that the free world we once knew no longer exists, it’s come to an end, and what this means is that we have to be open to the possibility that we are being deceived on an unprecedented level. So regarding President Trump, there are red flags and inconsistencies that just don’t sit right with me and I know I am not the only one who feels this way. Did we all see when the Jewish organization awarding President Trump with menorah in appreciation of Abraham Accords. 
(See picture to the left) That gift to President Trump had an Inscription “Covenant of Peace Award to the Prince of Peace President Donald J. Trump” And to make things worse, the verse that is written on that Award says “Unto us a Child is Born, a savior is given, and the government will be upon his shoulder (Isaiah 9:6), some feel that this is the first step towards the desolation that causes abomination!
Our Critical thinking should point us to the most specific Trait of the Anti Christ, he will come in under the guise of Peace, Security and Religion, and he will deceive everyone.
Many would argue that what I have written here is outrageous because Donald J. Trump seems to be such a Godly man, but wait a minute! Did I not just watch a video (family Leadership Summit hosted by Frank Luntz) of him saying he does not need to ask for forgiveness?
What I know for sure is that Trump is mistaken to think he was chosen to make America Great Again. Great Again you think, right there in those two words lies the critical discernment of what is Anti Christ. The Christian Calling is not towards greatness but towards goodness.
The rampant executive orders and shutting down of USAID is simply a replacing of domination with more domination, what we need now is to imagine societies and institutions in which everyone is welcome at the table. The only rule for joining would be to agree not to harm anyone. For that to happen, the table needs to be enlarged, not flipped over as we have seen the Trump administration doing, the table needs to be enlarged with the widest range of people involved in making and setting the table. By flipping USAID, we have lost this opportunity.
My final thought regarding President Trump’s subtle remarks on bringing religion back… I think the late Bishop Desmond Tutu was right to say: “The God who existed before any religion counts on you and me to make the oneness of the human family known and celebrated.”
