How many years are they going to prepare for 'end times' before they realize it's complete bullshit.

the Antichrist in Biblical prophecy--- and the majority of the evangelical christian church
now bear an uncanny resemblance to his followers as described in those prophecies
(and they of all people ought to recognize what he looks like, but they are blind):

Revelation 13:4 (KJV): "And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?"

Prophecy indicates the Antichrist initially rises to power through diplomacy, flatteries, and a "peaceful" appearance,
only to become a tyrant.

Daniel 8:25 (KJV): Describes how "...by peace shall destroy many..."
Daniel 11:21 (KJV): Mentions a "vile person" who "...shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries."
1 Thessalonians 5:3 (KJV): Notes that when people say, "Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them."

Revelation 6:2 (KJV): Describes a rider on a white horse who goes forth "...conquering, and to conquer."
2 Corinthians 11:14-15 (KJV): Explains how deception is used, as "...Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light."

he does. Perhaps they're aware of his vile persona and think that's why they should vote for him? .. It's all so strange.

as they should, if they truly base their beliefs upon the Bible, or even know what it says:


Google:
As of early 2026, a significant and growing number of Christian leaders, scholars, and believers are actively speaking out against Donald Trump, arguing that his actions and the support he receives from some religious factions represent a "crisis of faith" and a threat to democracy. This opposition is largely driven by concerns over the rise of Christian nationalism, harsh immigration policies, and the "corruption" of Christian teachings for political gain.

Key Aspects of the Opposition:
"A Call to Christians in a Crisis of Faith and Democracy": In February 2026, over 400 Christian leaders and scholars signed a letter denouncing the administration, labeling it a "cruel and oppressive government" and stating that silence is an "active choice to permit harm".
Concerns Over Christian Nationalism: Critics argue that the merging of Christian faith with political power is a form of "idolatry" and "heretical". They argue this ideology is being used to support authoritarian tendencies.

Immigration Policies:
Christian leaders, including those from various denominations and organizations like Sojourners, have held vigils and protests to oppose what they see as inhumane immigration tactics, such as the detention of children and separation of families.

Opposition to "Anti-Christian Bias" Claims:
In May 2025, a group of Christian leaders denounced the Trump administration's "Anti-Christian Bias Task Force," calling it a threat to religious freedom and arguing that the real threat to Christians comes from the administration itself.

Protests Against Religious Support:
Many leaders are pushing back against the idea that all Christians support Trump, arguing that his actions are antithetical to the teachings of Jesus. Some, like Rev. Loran Livingston, have criticized the use of religious imagery, such as the "God Bless the USA" Bible.

And this comes from someone who considers herself a Christian.

It is blasphemy to pretend to know when the end times will occur. No one, not even the angels in heaven nor the Son of God knows.

Hagee's theatrics are to fill his coffers. I've heard stories of people who attended that church and were about to starve because they had so little money. The were told they still needed to give their 10% to be blessed. He lives like a king while his trusting congregants pay for his plush lifestyle.

Not what being a Christian means...at least not to me.

Jesus was supposed to return sometime within the first Century and guide all the faithful up into the heavens.
In fact, both Paul and Peter were preaching chastity and not to have children, because it would make them more pious when Jesus came back.
And "John the Revelator" was obviously writing about Nero and the (then) anti-Christian Roman Empire, because a lot of Christians were talking out in public against Nero and his delusions of divinity.
Up through the 6th Century, the term Anti-Christ was used for any self-styled messenger or prophet for God who claimed to be Christ returned and was going to lead folks to Heaven as prophesized, but was crazy or a lying heretic out to make money.
And there could be many Antichrists running around at the same time.
My vote for a returning Christ would be Francis of Assisi, if it were to be anyone.

I typically don't discuss my actual beliefs on a message board other than generalities. I probably shouldn't have said anything about Hagee, but he gets my goat.

My issue with Hagee is that I feel that he takes advantage of people who are hurting and that he benefits (personally) from making them feel that if they pay money that they will receive blessings.

I will tell you that as an animal lover, I am a fan of Francis of Assisi!!!

I hope you enjoy a great evening!!!

He makes a complete mockery of everything that Jesus taught and stood for but his cult followers are completely blinded to the truth.
