spaghettiwesternTrump Freaks Out After Tucker Carlson Implies He’s the Antichrist
Isn’t it a thing where those white nationalist “christians” think that the end times are kicked off by the anti-christ, while also praising this war as the thing that starts the end times…?
So the antichrist is a good thing then? Is it like antipasto?
Yeah. To them it means Jesus is coming back and they get raptured.
Only thing they’re forgetting is the thousand years of darkness that comes before Satan is defeated.
Nah its cool their kin will just ride that out in bunkers that may or may not be subject to social conditioning

This is for the pre-millennial dispensationalists. For the pre-millennials, the rapture will occur at the start of the 1000 year tribulation. So it’s exciting if there’s a sign out might happen soon.
(Let’s just ignore the gospel passage about “ye shall know not the hour…” Etc etc.)
For the post-millenials, the rapture will occur after the 1000 years of tribulation, not before. So it’s less exciting, because you’ll probably die before then, so you won’t be eligible for rapture.
And of course the amillennials don’t necessarily think the 1000 years is a literal 1000 years, and they have various opinions about how figurative John of Patmos was, or just how many balls he was tripping.
Ah, now here is someone who knows their eschatology! I grew up in a pre-millennial dispensationalist church but am now an Episcopalian (and probably amillennial, if we have to give it a label–I basically hold to the idea that Jesus’ return will be what it will be). What was crazy to learn was that the whole Rapture concept was more or less invented at the end of the 1800s and only became super popular among American Evangelicals because of the Scofield Reference Bible. Saint John the Divine and Saint Paul would look at all of this with bewilderment, I think.
