I haven't watched The Ten Commandments in a long while so please help me remember. Wasn't worshipping a false idol considered a BAD thing?
I think there is literally a story in the bible where someone puts a golden goat in his garden or wherever and then gets punished by god
Edit: It was a golden calf
Congrats, you officially know more about the Bible than most so called Christians!
His name was Mooby
I kind of want a compilation of all the signs about the false prophet and trump next to each other.
I sent this one to my Trump supporting family in 2020, it's a bit outdated but useful.
And this was written before the Trump assassination attempt. Revelations 13 describes a beast healing from a fatal wound. There's also this bit which could read like it describes a loyalist vice president who prevents economic deals with countries who don't display loyalty to the president (i.e. wearing a hat that displays his name and number "Trump 45-47").
[11] Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon. [12] It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed. [13] And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people. [14] Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived. [15] The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed. [16] It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads, [17] so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
Edit: I see now there are updates at the bottom of the article that mention the same points I did.
Sounds more like Musk than Vance, what with spacex and X(.com), especially if in the future X actually becomes the American equivalent of Wechat and a state funded and required everything app.
True, especially if you consider the line:
[15] The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.
Sounds like Elon's recent AI generated video of Trump cleansing Gaza.
The whole point of the antichrist is they rise to power by exploiting Christians and their faith...
Like, everything about the two line up that I'm starting to think trump is literally using the myth as a blueprint. Like, at some point someone told him about it, and his first and only thought was:
I bet they're dumb enough to really fall for that
Wasn’t worshipping a false idol considered a BAD thing?
Just don't consider it a false idol. That's the trick.
Stick your money-plated golden calf in a big box and have four old dudes carry it around on a palanquin. Then get a dozen DOGE agents to lead it in front of a government agency, blow their shofars, and pull funding until it collapses.
Boom. Straight out of the Book of Joshua, Chapter 6. Not much more holy than the Siege of Jericho.
Yes, but only if one was actually a believer of said religion.
"Christian" Nationalists are just Nazis With An Excuse.
How much more anti-christy can this guy get?
I wondered if it was real.
No, I didn't. I just was stunned they profaned yhwh and Baphomet. I guess they'll get around to Kali and Shiva eventually. Got to cover all the bases, I guess. 🤷♀️
Well, you've got to appreciate that not only are they ridiculously ignorant and incompetent, they're also disturbingly hypocritical.
They only serve the one true deity, except when they don't.
Now I don't believe a word of the Bible, but this guy checks off so many anti-Christ boxes it's getting harder and harder to see how the people who do believe that stuff don't see it.
My wife sent me a great article on this that was originally written in 2019 but is now even more relevant. I thought it was a fun read at first but as I kept going it started to actually unsettle me a bit https://www.benjaminlcorey.com/could-american-evangelicals-spot-the-antichrist-heres-the-biblical-predictions/
Isn't that part of the story tho? That he tricks believers?
False believers, whose faith is shallow and performative, or against the teachings of Christ (like, for example, the prosperity gospel). Real big "sucks to suck" energy in Revelations.
Ya know, maybe the Bible is right and god is real, because there's no way someone comes this close to exactly what it describes as the Anti-Christ without actually being evil.
Trump is literally the Anti-Christ, he takes Christians away from Christ and thinks it's funny.
I actually read a report somewhere that said Christians were having to choice between their Churches and Trump... and they choose Trump
Fake Christians in Christianity? More likely than you think!
Something about worshipping false idols?
New Christian’s love this stuff
Feels very old testament to me.... Kinky
So, literally worthless statue made from scrap paper.
Hey now. That could be a really nice archery target.
Why a goat? It's an odd choice considering the association with Satan.
It's an old testament sacrifice thing.
Leviticus 17:7
They must no longer offer any of their sacrifices to the goat idols[a] to whom they prostitute themselves.
Edit: it appears in a few other places.
Spread this in Christian communities.
Lol they don't care
Hi I'm a Christian and I care. The goat seems to be made to auction to spread awareness for human trafficking. Very bizarre to go with this method though. I also know nothing of the organization and it's effectiveness in helping stop child human trafficking. Especially after that movie and the backlash it got with how little it did in helping the actual core issue. Bunch of hypocrites.
Ok now he is just memeing the false prophet thing. He can't not be aware, can he?
Does it make all the sheep say "BAA-L"?
I'm not a Christian but man this Trump guy keeps matching what revelations said the anti christ would be so well that I might look into the religion if it wasn't oppressing me and I wasn't already happy with my gods
Welcome to Costco, I love you.
When Moses approached the camp and saw the calf and the dancing, his anger burned and he threw the tablets out of his hands, breaking them to pieces at the foot of the mountain. And he took the calf the people had made and burned it in the fire; then he ground it to powder, scattered it on the water and made the Israelites drink it.
He said to Aaron, “What did these people do to you, that you led them into such great sin?”
Aaron then took a drag from his vape and shrugged. He didn't know either
Had to check which community I was in to make sure I wasn't in the Onion one.
Only three years eleven months to go!
Cool and normal.
Someone could gift a literal trojan horse to Trump and he'd fall for it as long as it had his face on it or maybe some gold.
"Christians" ~~Hate~~ Love This One Weird Trick!
The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that patriotism is the love of one's country and nationalism is the belief that one's country is superior above all others.
Fascism is a centralized government underneath the authority of a dictator.
It's obvious that these guys want a nationalist and fascist government.
Welcome to Mar-A-Lago, I love you.
