Antichrist President Donald Trump Sees Himself as Jesus Christ

Donald Trump has been attacking the Pope for speaking out against war while at the same time he posted on his Truth Social platform the above image of himself as Jesus Christ (later deleted). Besides the obvious blasphemy, it is deranged, narcissistic egomaniacal behavior. But there is more to it.

Paula White, Trump’s spiritual advisor in the White House, as good as said that he is the second coming of Jesus Christ. Trump showed himself (top image) as a warmongering leader with Christ’s power to heal the sick. A contradiction there. That is not Jesus Christ. Nor do any sane true believers pray to him.

We are seeing behaviours in world leaders now that cannot be described as anything short of satanic. The behaviour of Trump and other certain leaders is religious, not for good but for pure evil.

Two Weeks Ago Marco Rubio: “The people that run this country [Iran] are radical Shia clerics, these are religious fanatics.”

Today Trump posts an image of himself as Jesus Christ

Every accusation is a confession…

So who are the religious fanatics now? US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who styles himself as a modern Crusader? President Trump who says he is a Christian but threatens to send Iran “back to the Stone Age”?

What comes to mind is the following.

3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition [destruction]; 4 Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 AKJV

The antichrist lawless one is foretold in scripture this way. He is satanic and attempts to insert himself as a substitute for Jesus Christ. The “son of perdition” means “one who destroys”. Look at the recent destruction of Gaza, or Iran. Tens of thousands of bombs have been dropped on their cities. Is not that utter destruction?

That “man of sin” is also translated the “lawless one” (KJ3) or the “man of lawlessness” (ESV). He is antichrist because he opposes Jesus Christ, yet “he sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God”.

Where is the true temple of God? Well, we know it is not a building. Jesus destroyed the second Temple in 70 AD, because it finished its purpose 40 years prior at the cross when He replaced it with Himself.

As soon as Jesus paid our sin debt, once for all, any other offering/sacrifice is an abomination. Therefore Temple worship became an abomination. Daniel 9:27 from the Septuagint (LXX) is translated as “on the temple shall be the abomination of desolations”.

At Christ’s death on the cross Jewish Temple worship became an abomination to God. God rent the veil of the Temple so that the holy of holies was exposed to the world because He wanted to show the Jews that He does not dwell there anymore.

48 However, the most High dwells not in temples made with hands; as said the prophet, 49 Heaven is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will you build me? said the Lord: or what is the place of my rest? 50 Has not my hand made all these things?

Acts 7:48 AKJV

The expression “the temple of God” is used 4 times by the Apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 3:16-17, 2 Corinthians 6:16 and 2 Thessalonians 2:4). And there is no doubt that the Apostle is speaking about a spiritual temple – that is, the body of believers (Greek ekklesia) and not a physical building.

16 Know you not that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you? 17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you are.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 AKJV

God’s temple is built of living stones, the true believers. That is where Christ dwells.

So for the lawless one to sit in God’s temple it must mean that he enters the hearts of mankind and takes him/her over to control him. Is that who Trump thinks he is? If so, he is not Jesus Christ but an antichrist.

You’ll notice that I do not write, the antiChrist. I don’t believe that there is one singular antiChrist, but that Satan and his demons enter into and possess whoever they will to manipulate world affairs to their ends. There are many antichrists in the world now. There have been many in the past. The Apostle John has taught us that fact.

18 Little children, it is the last time: and as you have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.

1 John 2:18 AKJV

The open fact of the antichrists’ behaviour in the world now is evidence of the last times we are experiencing now. Donald Trump is a symptom of these last times.

But as I have written before Lucifer, Satan has been released from the abyss (bottomless pit, Apollyon) and now can deceive the nations. His actions are clear for all to see.

Satan was locked up by Christ in the prison of the abyss (Revelation 20:3) when He opposed Satan during His earthly ministry. That was a prison from which he could not deceive the nations. However I believe that recently Jesus Christ released him (Revelation 20:7) from his prison. Therefore he can now deceive the nations of the Earth. And boy are they being deceived. Genocide is portrayed as something righteous. Torture and rape are condoned by the Evangelical Christian-Zionist and Dispensationalist churches.

It looks like Donald Trump believes the lie that he is the second non-Jewish Messiah. But I can tell you he is no Messiah, he is no Christ. He is a liar and deceiver.

Now since the arrival of the Jewish Messiah was expected on March 19th perhaps Satan entered into Donald that day in the same manner that Satan entered into Judas Iscariot. The “Messiah” which the Christ-hating Jews are expecting is antichrist. How could he be anything else?

A rejection of our Lord as Saviour and King, who is the Jews expected Messiah, means that what they do believe is strong delusion.

It is certainly true that demonic activity has now accelerated to levels most of us living have never seen before. Perhaps under Roman rule, like Emperor Caligula, it was like this also. But that is just the point. Lucifer enters into and possesses the leader of the world of any time to do the most damage that he can. And we are living through it as the world heads to the final conflict and Christ’s second coming.

God’s New Dwelling Place

As the Day Begins

“Do you not know that you are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”
1 Corinthians 3:16

The words of the apostle Paul land with particular weight when we remember who he was before Christ met him on the road to Damascus. Raised as a devout Jew, trained under the law, Paul carried a deep reverence for the temple in Jerusalem. That sacred structure was not merely a building of stone and gold; it symbolized the dwelling presence of God among His covenant people. To speak lightly of the temple would have been unthinkable for a man shaped by Israel’s worship and history. And yet, in this letter to the Corinthians, Paul makes a declaration that quietly reorients the entire spiritual landscape: God has chosen a new dwelling place.

When Paul tells believers that they themselves are the temple of God, he is not diminishing the holiness of the old temple; he is announcing its fulfillment. The tearing of the veil at Christ’s crucifixion was not a dramatic flourish but a theological turning point. God no longer confined His presence to a single location or structure. The Holy One who once descended into the Most Holy Place now takes up residence within human hearts. The Greek word Paul uses for temple, naos, refers not to the outer courts but to the inner sanctuary—the place of divine presence. Paul is saying, in unmistakable terms, that God has drawn nearer than Israel ever imagined.

This truth reshapes how we step into the day ahead. If God dwells within us, then our ordinary moments become sacred spaces. Conversations, decisions, quiet thoughts, and unseen struggles all unfold within a living sanctuary. The Spirit does not visit briefly and depart; He abides. That reality calls us not to anxiety but to attentiveness. We are invited to live with a gentle awareness that God is present not only around us but within us, guiding, convicting, strengthening, and comforting as the day unfolds.

Triune Prayer

Father, You are the Almighty who once made Your dwelling among Israel and now, by grace, have chosen to dwell within me. I give You thanks that You are not distant or reserved for sacred places alone, but near and attentive to the movements of my heart. As this day begins, help me to honor Your presence in how I think, speak, and act. Shape my desires so that they reflect Your holiness and Your love. When distractions pull at me or fear clouds my judgment, remind me that You are here, steady and faithful, inviting me to walk in step with You.

Jesus, Son of God and true Temple, I thank You that through Your sacrifice the way was opened for God to dwell with humanity in a new and lasting way. You did not merely point toward God’s presence; You embodied it. As I move through this day, help me to remember that my life is hidden in Yours. Teach me to surrender the areas of my heart I still guard too closely. Let Your humility, obedience, and compassion shape my responses, especially when the path is unclear or costly.

Holy Spirit, Spirit of God and Spirit of Truth, I welcome Your work within me today. You are the One who makes God’s presence real and personal, guiding me into truth and strengthening me where I am weak. Open my ears to Your gentle prompting and my heart to Your correction. Help me to live with awareness that I am not alone, that You dwell within me as counselor and helper. Lead me through this day with wisdom, peace, and a quiet confidence in God’s nearness.

Thought for the Day

Live today with intentional awareness that wherever you go, God’s presence goes with you—and dwells within you.

The 1st Adam in the Hebrew Scriptures #2 Beginning of mankind

After the fifth period in creation the sixth session brought forth ‘living souls‘ or ‘living things’ or ‘living beings’ which could multiply, making the earth having more of their sort. They were not in the image of God, but on the ‘sixth day‘ the Divine Creator decided to make some living being after His image.

This image and likeness of God in man is expounded, Ephesians 4:24, where it is written that man was created after God in righteousness and true holiness, meaning by these two words, all perfection, as wisdom, truth, innocence, power, etc. (Annotations in the 1599 Geneva Patriot’s Edition)

24 And put on the new man, which 1after God is created unto 2righteousness, and 3true holiness.

1 After the image of God.
2 The effect and end of the new creation.
3 Not fained nor counterfeit. (Annotations in the 1599 Geneva Patriot’s Edition)

Man had received everything in him to be happy living for always. Though he was not immortal. The first living being, “a soul” that would be called “man”, was receiving a higher status than the previous created living beings. Man was made in the image of God, indicating that Adam had some similar elements of God and being in the likeness of the Most High Elohim he received in this way a sort of  “royal authority” to govern over God’s creation.

All over the world we can find creation myths, showing that the “being” of it makes only sense when there is a reason for “being”. It is that sense of life so many people are looking for. Genesis uses a similar approach found in other ancient documents: Existence depends on function.

Jackson Wu looks at creation and John H. Walton’s view in this way

Genesis indeed explains the origins of the world but it tells a particular kind of story. It provides a “functional” (rather than a “material”) account of the world origins.

and continues with a good example

If I move beds and dressers out of a “bedroom” and replace it with a desk and file cabinets, what would we say? A “bedroom” no longer exists. I have now “created” a office or study.

Similarly, Genesis 1 explains how God created the world to be a sacred space, a Temple where He would dwell with his people. This view of Genesis helps us to see who God is, who we are, and God’s design for the world. {When Did God Make China?}

That original manly being was “to be red” (=Adam). Adam occurs approximately 500 times with the meaning of mankind. In the opening chapters of the Bereshith (the Book of the Beginnings or Genesis), with three exceptions (1:26; 2:5,20) it has the definite article indicating “man” or “the man” rather than “Adam”.
The first undisputed occurrence of the name of Adam is in the genealogy of Genesis 5:1-5.

1 This is the 1book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created Adam, in the 2likeness of God made he him,
2 Male and female created he them, and blessed them, and called their name 1Adam in the day that they were created.
3  Now Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a child in his own 1likeness after his image, and called his name Seth.
4 aAnd the days of Adam, after he had begotten Seth, were eight hundred years, and he begat sons and daughters.
5 So all the days that Adam lived, were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died.

The 1st Adam indicates to be the first living creature of “red blood”  (hence red blooded or adam), flesh and bones. Of necessity that first fleshly creature out of which mankind would grow could be called the first created man or “the man” and the designation is equivalent to a proper name: Adam.

This first soul or living being, came from the earth, and by receiving the Breath of God came to live. Animated by the divine breath created in the image of God was allowed to have dominion over all other life, animate and inanimate. He is other than God, with no actual physical descent from the Supreme Being or from any inferior deity. Notice also how only by the creation of this human being is mentioned that God “breathed … the breath of life”

Genesis 2:

7  The Lord God also 1made the man 2of the dust of the ground, and breathed in his face breath of life, band the man was a living soul.

8 And the Lord God planted a garden Eastward in 1Eden, and there he put the man whom he had made.
9 (For out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree pleasant to the sight, and good for meat: the 1tree of life also in the midst of the garden, 2and the tree of knowledge of good and of evil.

Genesis 1:

27 Thus God created the man in his image: in the image of God created he him: he created them imale and female.
28 And God 1blessed them, and God said to them, jBring forth fruit, and multiply, and fill the earth, and subdue it, and rule over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven, and over every beast that moveth upon the earth.
29 And God said, Behold, I have given unto you 1every herb bearing seed, which is upon all the earth, and every tree, wherein is the fruit of a tree bearing seed: kthat shall be to you for meat.
30 Likewise to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the heaven, and to everything that moveth upon the earth, which hath life in itself, every green herb shall be for meat, and it was so.
31 lAnd God saw all that he had made, and lo, it was very good. So the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

Genesis 2:

18 Also the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be himself alone: I will make him an help 1meet for him.
19 So the Lord God formed of the earth every beast of the field, and every fowl of the heaven, and brought them unto the 1man to see how he would call them: for howsoever the man named the living creature, so was the name thereof.
20 The man therefore gave names unto all cattle, and to the fowl of the heaven, and to every beast of the field: but for Adam found he not an helper meet for him.
21  Therefore the Lord God caused an heavy sleep to fall upon the man, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in stead thereof.
22 And the rib which the Lord God had taken from the man, 1made he a 2woman, and brought her to the man.
23 Then the man said, cThis now is bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh. She shall be called 1woman, because she was taken out of the man.
24 dTherefore shall man leave 1his father and his mother, and shall cleave to his wife, and they shall be one flesh.
25 And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and they were not 1ashamed.

The Divine Creator had out of nothing or out of the blackness created elements which became ordered and received a function. As such the Most High Elohim Jehovah is the One God Who brings order out of (primordial) chaos and as such also being the God of order. [Chaos representing “non-order,” not “disorder.”]

Man being set in God’s Garden, the Garden of Eden, got the allowance to name the other things but also got the obligation of obedience to the divine Will, in connection with the tree of knowledge of good and evil.

When you follow the storytelling of creation you shall find God speaking or bringing out words, and then matter came into being. Every time it was God’s Word that brought action and life. Each stage of creation is also approved with the words

“And God saw that it was good” (Genesis 1: 10, 12, 18, 21, 25, cf. 31),

and the inference is that the creation of man was its consummation and climax.

God wanted to have His Kingdom full of plants, animals and human beings in his likeness. He wanted to see a beautiful world where all of His creatures could live in peace with each other.

The first Adam wanted a partner and God made him one. This person taken out of man, the mannin became the first woman and was to be Adam’s partner giving him children as part of God’s family.

Members of the ecclesia uniting and seeking God’s help in tribulation

Tuesday-night at the meeting of the Ecclesia Brussel–Leuven we read Romans 5 and 1 Corinthians 1+3, looking at the difficulties we have encountered the last few months and how we had to cope with it but also how we should continue our way.

Sometimes we do get to recognise we could not re-conciliate but have to turn over the page and leave those who did not want to be amicably connected with us on their own. Sometimes a community has the priority to protect its own flock and has to take measures which do not seem so pleasant for all people involved. When certain people prefer to stand on their own and are not willing to co-operate the community than has to decide to let them go their own way, but when they themselves did everything to blacken that community, they should not have to keep contact any more. As such we decided to leave the man from the North and his organisation far what they are, and shall concentrate ourselves on bringing people to Christ ourselves, without their help.

Jesus Christ is the man who opened the way to his Father. He is the One Mediator between God and man and is the cornerstone of the Church of God.

We do trust the Most High, Elohim Hashem Jehovah, Who shall call people and Who shall guide us and give us that what we need according to His time.

In Him we trust and give all our hope to build up His Church in Belgium and other parts in the world.

  Alexander Michalak writes: My preliminary examination of several Second Temple texts, 1 Enoch, the Book of Jubilees, Joseph and Aseneth, Testament of Job, the First Epistle to the Corinthians, and the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs indicates that there is already at this time a connection between demons and the cult of foreign gods, although they are not always explicitly identified with one another. Sometimes the demonic spirits are said only to lead people astray, that is, to lead people toward Gentile worship and toward idolatry, whereas in other cases it is the demonic spirits who are the objects of worship, or the pagan gods themselves.
• The House of Worship (causeitfeelsright.wordpress.com)
  The Greek word that should have been translated to church was only used twice in the New Testament. It means “the Lord’s” and was used for the Lord’s day and the Lord’s supper. But this instance is ecclesia. It means “to call forth from out of”. Matthew says if you and the other person can’t work out your problems go get help. Go find a few more people to help because maybe they’ll understand a different perspective. If that doesn’t work go find the ones who have been called out of darkness (1 Peter). When you are in darkness you can’t see clearly and when you are “in the dark” you are ignorant which simply means you don’t know. So someone who has been called out can see clearly, or they are knowledgeable or “in the know” which is having “inside” information.

  The gospel narrative then is largely concerned with Christ exposing the apostate Jewish leaders, and building up his apostles as “other husbandmen” to replace them. The parables recorded of the Kingdom of heaven throughout Matthew describe the kingdom of Israel in existence (Mat 11:12), under the governance of the prince of this world – the apostate Jewish leaders (John 12:31, 16:11, Eph 2:2, Luke 10:18, Mat 24:27), and then later to be replaced with the new heavens founded upon Christ as the Abrahamic seed stars are raised to the political heavens (Gen 15:5, Dan 12:2-3, Psa 19:4, 1 Cor 15:40-49, Apoc 4:1).

  A people for his Name
  Christ is described as the second Adam as compared to the first Adam (1 Cor 15:45-47). Both of them the “son of God” (Luke 3:38), and both typically created the same way. The body of Christ is the Ecclesia εκκλησια (Eph 5:23, 30, Col 1:18,24), and it is being formed from the Abrahamic dust, the seed of Abraham according to the promises of old; compare Gen 2:7 with Gen 13:16, 28:14.
  +The mortal children of Israel are described as Elohim, mighty ones, or as we have in the AV “gods”. Elohim describes the the mental state of the person, not their physical nature. Ambassadors of the father, regardless of whether they are mortal people or immortal angels. If they are empowered by the will of the spirit, they are indeed mighty ones.

  When mortal Elohim, mighty ones, do not keep the commandments of Yahweh then they are not immune – by any means – to the consequences of their actions. They will “die like men”.

  Therefore we ought to take earnest heed to the things which we have heard.  We have all the scriptures… even the testimony of the Son, which brings with it great responsibility (Heb 2:1-3).  We comfort in that if we turn from wickedness we will be forgiven. Yet vigilant in the warning that turning to wickedness means rejection (Ezk 33:11-19).

  What did the New Covenant writers mean when they used the word “Ecclesia” to describe a Christian body of people?? We can safely denote that they intended to convey the original Greek meaning of the word:”A body of Christian called out of Roman and Judean systems of Government,to live under a seperate civil mentality,”a politically autonomous body of Christians,under no other King but Yeshua,under no other civil laws,than that of Yeshua.But some misguided folks misunderstood the missions of Paul, that was why these Christians ran into trouble with kings and rulers,were arrested,crucified,and martyred. They dropped Caesar as their King,and took up Christ. The writers of the New covenant didn’t substitute “kyriakon” with “Ecclesia” to mean entertainment every Sundays,and Tuesdays,and so on!

Stepping Toes

In the readings of today we look at the brothers and sisters in Corinth some 2000 years ago.

In Belgium the community has been troubled by persons perhaps wanting to claim to have the right to make foundations and to direct the groups of people wanting to come together under the name of Christ.

Paul the Apostle, Russian icon from first quarter of 18th cen. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

We remember how the apostle Paul makes the argument that he has borne witness to the people of Corinth, he has shared the gospel, he has brought them to Christ and showed them the way but that he has to be sad because he only could see division between those who should be united as brethren and sisters in Christ.

The apostle Paul in his 5th letter to the Romans and his first three letters to the Corinths, also talks…
