Hey Pedes, looking for clarity on a theory I'm mentally mulling around. It's kind of wild, but also, could have drastic implications if there is any truth to this.
I'll preface this by saying I am a believer in Christ, and only looking for truth, please don't shoot the messenger, this is an open debate and one I expect to see some heated emotions over.
The Greek word for "ante" is "αντι-", and although the current accepted translation of ἀντίχριστος is Anti-christ, there is little literature to explain the use of Anti vs Ante.
There is a possibility that the word "antichrist" in the Bible has been mistranslated or misunderstood, and that it may actually refer to an "ante-Christ," or a precursor to the coming of Christ, similar to how John the Baptist preceded Jesus. The book of Revelation, a highly symbolic and metaphorical text, may not actually predict a future apocalypse or end times, but rather symbolizes the ongoing struggle between good and evil in human history. According to this theory, the arrival of the "antechrist" figure may not be a negative event, but rather a necessary step in clearing the way for Jesus' return.
Let's analyze Trumps actions in contrast to the antechristos.
Abraham accords - negotiating peace with Isreal, only to turn his back in 3.5 years time. Does this fit with Biden getting into office?
The concept of a peace deal or covenant made by the antichrist is not explicitly mentioned in the book of Revelation, but it is described in some other parts of the Bible, particularly in the book of Daniel. In Daniel 9:27, it says:
"He [the antichrist] will confirm a covenant with many for one 'seven.' In the middle of the 'seven' he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed is poured out on him."
Is the end of sacrifice, the end of child, human sacrifice to Baal? Or worse? This kind fits to me. Especially considering the Mossad connections with Epstein et al.
in Revelation 13:3, where it says, "And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast." This wound is described as being healed, and as a result, people are amazed and follow the beast.
I've often wondered if Trump gaining the presidency again would fulfill this passage?
There is a lot more to this theory, but it's a lot to type out, I'll leave it at this for now.
There are alternatives to this as well, as Obama/Biden could also fulfill the above prophecy by Biden essentially being an Obama Manchurian candidate. I don't know enough about Obamas political deals with Isreal to make a call on the first one.
One final thing here, Is to look at the way Jesus responded to Caiaphas and the high Jewish court :
You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
This is very telling that Jesus did not see YahWeh as his "Father" in heaven. Jesus never once mentioned Yahweh when referencing the father. He used Abba, or other terms.
Thoughts, pedes?
It can't be Trump, obama, bush, king charles, nero, elon, gates, soros, etc. The bible gives us the attributes and these folks simply cannot fit if they wanted. It is correct to look at a position like President or king since that system continues even if the names change. Since the little horn comes up in the midst of the ten Kingdoms, Daniel and revelation help bracket the prophesy. Daniel looks forward and john looks backwards. Consider this for study and see if it fits. History is now on our side so we don't need to guess at kingdoms (beasts and metal man sections/toes)

Here's a list without spin or interpretations or identity. Now that we have history on our side, understanding the references from Daniel, who gave a perspective looking in the future, is not that hard now. We know Rome was split up in to 10 kingdoms in Europe. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LNz0UJbXtBE/VT8FNpsG7QI/AAAAAAAAH0E/oS16kReGUbQ/s1600/Ten-Horns.jpg
Nebacanezars dream about the metal man is a road map of world powers. Rome was the legs of iron. Unlike the previous nations, Babylon, media Persia, Greece, the kingdom of rome continued as a blend in feet and ten toes of iron/clay. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/3f/77/be/3f77be372f42bef80957b80d302cd2df.jpg
A little nation (horn) rises amongst those 10 partitions of rome and destroyed 3. Who did that? Trump? Nero? Bush? Obamba? Nope. John said the spirit of anti Christ was alive in Rome back then. Not the actual anti Christ or he would have said so. https://lastmessageofmercy.com/images/books/danielchapter2/Divided_Roman_Empire_(10).jpg Once we know who matches that attribute, we must check if that entity matches all the other attributes. So the accusation that Trump claimed to be our redeemer could be interpreted as blasphemy (defined in scriptures as claim to be god or able to forgive sin). Great, he matches 1 of 20 attributes so....
