I agree with this article. Trump is going to have a hand in the third temple. He will bring peace. With his Love for digital currency, he will also begin the process of buying and selling without the mark.
“Trump is going to have a hand in the third temple.”
The veil that covered the Holy of Holies was rent from top to bottom when Jesus was crucified, ending the utility of the temple. There might be a replica built, I doublt it, but it will only be a building. There will not be another temple built with the unction of God.
Nowhere in the New Testament does it foretell a unique person called anti-Christ who will compel worhip from all the disparate world religions, who will joyfully give up their religions, and dupe Christians.
The mark of the beast in Revelation 13 has happened for centuries in Jerusalem. Particularly during the years the Muslims/Ottoman Empire controlled Jerusalem. Contrary to the revisionist history about peaceful Muslim control, most of the time they forced you to be a Muslim to engage in commerce (or pay the jizya tax). It could be that the first beast in ch. 13 is Islam, and the 2nd beast is the Ottoman Empire. (Even if I'm wrong about that, it might be best if we at least consider the once large and powerful Ottoman Empire as fulfilling one of the Bible's prophecies of empires.)
Perhaps I'm wrong about that being the mark of the beast. Or perhaps I'm sorta right, with the concept that some of these things repeat in cycles.
It could be that the 144K in Revelation 14 are the Christians and Jews who won WW1 and WW2. Rev 14:8's fall of Babylon might be the fall of the Ottoman Empire which controlled the middle east for a long time.
Even if I'm right, my version is a long drawn out timeline. It took centuries to go through Revelation 13 to 14. So even if I'm right that the next steps are Revelation 15 and 16, those could take centuries.
Or it could be that I'm completely wrong. Or it could be that I'm sorta right, in that a lot of these things seem to occur in cycles. If that's the case, even if I'm wrong that the Ottoman Empire was the one who implemented the mark of the beast and we're currently experiencing the end of Rev 14, we probably ought to at least pretend that's the situation we're in and stick to the Lord like glue with a no-matter-what-no-matter-who type attitude.
