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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 97 points 2 weeks 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..

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.

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

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.

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!

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

No, that's Christmas.

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

So not all Doomsday prophecies were wrong! 😮
