OMG, they DO think that Donald is going to usher in The END TIMES.
From the outset, Trump has surrounded himself with people who hail from the fringes of the evangelical community that is steeped in the language of biblical prophecy, and his administration regularly reflects that language back to them in its messaging. In March 2017, for instance, Trump issued an official White House statement recognizing the Persian New Year in which he misattributed a quote to Cyrus the Great, the libertine pagan leader of the ancient Persian empire who was anointed by God to free Jews in Babylon. Ordinary Americans probably wouldn’t have even noticed the announcement, but evangelicals knew that Trump was speaking their language. Many of them believe Trump is like Cyrus, a flawed nonbeliever who nonetheless is chosen by God to work his miracles on Earth.
The question is whether Trump thinks he is a Christian Messiah. He is arrogant enough to have given the thought credence. Facing a trial and jail from the Ninth District if he loses 2020, he may figure he doesn't have much to lose. He's a psychopath, so all bets are off for his being a responsible human being.
This would be correct. The red flag would be that Persia is Iran, the perpetual enemy of USA.
Why acknowledge your adversary’s special days?
I still wonder what will happen when his followers start dying.
They will be looked at as martyrs to their cause.....everything for them is "god's will".
@Lavergne I meant for his election votes, but of course it will be martyrdom.
