I copied this from somewhere, and saved it. The earliest cite I can find, using one of the author’s quotes, is 2020; so I believe this was made during Trump’s first term. > **Revelation 13:5** - And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty _and_ two months. > > Trump is arrogant and boastful, ‘speaking great things and blasphemies.’ > > _ **Revelation 13:2** - The beast I saw resembled a leopard, but had feet like those of a bear and a_ _ **mouth like that of a lion** _\*. The dragon gave the beast his power and his throne and great authority.\* > > **RISE TO POWER** The Antichrist’s rise to power will seem like a miracle that God performed, tricking people into following Satan instead of God without even noticing. > > _ **2 Thessalonians 2:9** - The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie._ > > When the Antichrist comes, look for powerful religious folks claiming it was a miracle from God. > > “He did everything wrong, politically. He offended gays. He offended women. He offended the military. He offended black people. He offended the Hispanic people. He offended everybody! And he became president of the United States. Only God could do that.” - [Franklin Graham](https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/05/franklin-graham/527013/) > > Another major signs to warn us of the arrival of the Antichrist would be an election where someone won with fewer supporters, and where it was also proven that an evil outside power meddled with the process to specifically put that person in office. > > _ **Daniel 11:21** - “The next to come to power will be a despicable man who is not in line for royal succession. He will slip in when least expected and take over the kingdom by flattery and intrigue._ > > _ **Daniel 11:23** - “After coming to an agreement with him, he will act deceitfully, and with only a few people he will rise to power.”_ > > Donald Trump has [floated idea of serving more than two terms.](https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-negotiate-third-term-in-office-2020-9) > > _ **Daniel 11:24** - When the richest provinces feel secure, he will invade them and will achieve what neither his fathers nor his forefathers did. He will distribute plunder, loot and wealth among his followers. He will plot the overthrow of fortresses–but only for a time._ > > _ **Daniel 7:25** - He will speak against the Most High and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws. The holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time, times and half a time._ > > This leads into _ **Daniel 8:25** _\*\* _- He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior._\*\* > > The Bible predicts the Antichrist will be someone who negotiates powerful real estate deals with friends [predicts the Antichrist will be someone who negotiates powerful real estate deals with friends.](https://biblehub.com/daniel/11-39.htm) > > **Revelation 13** [very specifically tells us](https://biblehub.com/revelation/13-5.htm) that somewhere in the middle of his first three and a half years in office, the Antichrist will give a very specific and telling speech: he will arrogantly brag of his accomplishments and ‘great’ things, and will also use God’s name in a way considered to be blasphemy. > > [Trump uses Lord’s name in vain at NC rally](https://www.politico.com/story/2019/08/12/trump-evangelicals-blasphemy-profanity-1456178) > > **Daniel 11:37-38** - He will show no regard for the gods of his ancestors or for the one desired by women, nor will he regard any god, but will exalt himself above them all. Instead of them, he will honor a god of fortresses; a god unknown to his ancestors he will honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. > > The Bible says that [instead of worshipping the true God, the Antichrist will worship an unknown God of fortresses](https://biblehub.com/daniel/11-38.htm) > > Fortress translates to border walls. > > [The Antichrist’s most devoted followers will wear a sign of their allegiance to him on their foreheads](https://shop.donaldjtrump.com/products/official-donald-trump-make-america-great-again-cap-red) > > MAGA hats.

He is looking out for himself. He has cheated the system and will do anything to save himself.

This makes me happy. [Grand Jury Rejection of Trump’s Notion of “Law and Order”](https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/grand-jury-rejection-of-trump-s-law-and-order-spreads-to-chicago-ice-enforcement/ar-AA1O6gIC?ocid=winp2fptaskbarhover&cvid=68e6d9afa47c45db8fd0f37a8b08b5e4&ei=7) From the article: > While the facts of every case are different and grand jury deliberations are secret, the bottom-line pattern of these rejections is impossible to ignore. It’s difficult to overstate how rare it is for grand juries to reject indictments — yet, these days, it’s not so unusual in the Trump Justice Department. Whether grand jurors are finding that prosecutors are overcharging, or grand jurors are refusing to return indictments _despite_ finding sufficient evidence to proceed — or [some combination](https://www.msnbc.com/deadline-white-house/deadline-legal-blog/dc-sandwich-thrower-grand-jury-indictment-decline-matters-rcna227748) thereof — this ongoing phenomenon is one of the most remarkable developments of Trump’s second term. ---

This reminds me of the time I was playing an old text game where you would occasionally attacked by a dwarf. If you had an ax you could kill the dwarf, but if you didn’t have the ax the dwarf would kill you, and you would go back to the beginning of the game. Once in desperation I typed in “Fuck the dwarf”.
