Could American Evangelicals Spot the Antichrist? Here Are the Biblical Predictions:

Interesting read- Here's just a few indicators of an Antichrist :

The Antichrist will be the leader of a nation that is a military superpower with the ability to trample and crush the entire earth.

The Antichrist will be exceptionally arrogant and will be known for giving boastful speeches.

The Antichrist will be someone known for making a lot of public threats against people.

The Antichrist will be a political outsider with despicable character and a contemptuous personality who wins an election that no one expects him to win.

The Antichrist comes to power through collusion with a secret alliance who uses disinformation to help him win– even though he has a minority number of supporters.

And it goes on, each indicator stinking of Trump as THE (If not A ) Antichrist :

There is a whole world out there.
We here don't consider anyplace else exists.
The bible isn't all about US.
There was no US in bible times.
Maybe the antichrist has come and gone?

Or........there is no such thing.

None of the indicators in the article are addressed in the bible. All the indicators are stated from vague passages embellished by the author.

From http://www.dumbingofage.com/2016/blog/antichrist/

A little context: the cartoonist, Dave Willis, grew up in a strict conservative evangelical household, and Joyce, the little kid/older kid/young woman in this progression is something of an alter-ego of his about how that bubble bursts for some people, and of some of the hypocrisies that manifest in the people that never leave it.
