He Demands to be Worshiped
The primary characteristic of the Antichrist is that he demands to be worshiped.
“All the inhabitants of the earth will worship it, all whose names were not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life, which belongs to the Lamb who was slain. Whoever has ears ought to hear these words. Anyone destined for captivity goes into captivity. Anyone destined to be slain by the sword shall be slain by the sword. Such is the faithful endurance of the holy ones.” (Rev. 13:8-10)
“675 Before Christ’s second coming the Church must pass through a final trial that will shake the faith of many believers. The persecution that accompanies her pilgrimage on earth will unveil the “mystery of iniquity” in the form of a religious deception offering men an apparent solution to their problems at the price of apostasy from the truth. The supreme religious deception is that of the Antichrist, a pseudo-messianism by which man glorifies himself in place of God and of his Messiah come in the flesh.” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, para. 675)
Donald J. Trump has been known over decades mostly for his arrogance & narcissism. However, his presence on the world stage over the past 10 years have given ample evidence of his demand for absolute loyalty & fealty. Seven months into his second term as President of the United States of America, we also see that he wants to control religion, even reveling at the prospect of being the messiah. While he purports to be Christian, he does not espouse Christian values nor does he refer to Jesus of Nazareth, the person whom the Catholic Church and Christians worldwide refer to as the Son of God, Son of Man, the one and only Messiah. Rather he wants us to believe that God has messianic plans for him.
Here are a few examples of how he skews Sacred Scripture and our Christian Tradition:
“I now consider myself to be a non-denominational Christian,”
“In addition to his support of Trump, Thiel…” Talks about the Antichrist.
