Better to die in nuclear fire than live under the Antichrist.
The only time I ever see the word “Anti-Christ” being used in the Bible is in the Epistles of John, where it refers to people spreading the false teaching that Christ did not come in the flesh. I doubt any of your current candidates for presidency is much of a docetist.
If you want to use the word Anti-Christ in a broader way: Fully subscribing to John’s criticism of Docetism (which saw all matter as evil) I’d rather live under a government that is keen to protect God’s
good creation (Gen. 1:31) than under one that deems it a mere resource to exploit and to destroy.
Not that Trump would cause nuclear holocaust, he is too smart to initiate that.
Trump is not smart. He’s a narcissist with a temper problem whose ignorance on international affairs became blatantly obvious, when he stated that Russia had not invaded Ukraine yet.
I'm sure he would retaliate, and this makes an effective nuclear deterrent. I don't think Hillary would have the nerve to retaliate using our nuclear arsenal, so under her nuclear holocaust is more likely.
Why would any moral leader tear even more millions and millions of innocent people into death for the mere sake of retaliating? Is retaliating in the Spirit of Christ now? Whatever happened to “turn the other cheek” and not repaying evil with evil?
IMHO the only leader who displayed Christ-like qualities in the nuclear question recently, is Jeremy Corbyn, leader of the British Labour Party. He was honest enough to admit that under no circumstances would he ever press that button. As a follower of the Prince of Peace I must applaud such pacifism.
As for the Antichrist, it would be much easier for him to appear if Americans were out of the picture. Think about that while you sit in "safety" in mainland Europe, because you are not safe from the appearance of the Antichrist.
America is just another Empire that will fall like others before. If your allegiance is with national pride rather than with Christ you have a serious problem.
