Eye rolling rhetoric from the pseudo-Christian Evangelical cult on the Iran war.

Let's make one thing crystal clear at the beginning of this discussion. Trump is not God's chosen instrument for anything. He is the Antichrist, the epitome of evil, doing the work of Satan. That is the only Biblically supported conclusion that can be discerned from the scripture that is consistent with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Even for those who don't really express a belief in the spiritual side of Christianity, an academic study of the Bible would lead to this conclusion. There are no parallels that can be drawn, becausee the culture of the times in which the Old Testament was written no longer exists, and cannot be made applicable in a culture that is four thousand years distant.

Trump is not just an unrepentant sinner, or a "baby Christian" as some call him. He's not a Christian at all, having publicly denied any accepted Christian conversion experience in favor of believing in his own god, according to his own words. His narcissism, at any rate, would never allow him to submit to the Holy Spirit in the way that Christians teach conversion, and he has happily and openly denied any such submission, or, even that he has committed sin.

If one accepts that the Biblical record is accurate in its representation and revelation of the nature of God, then it is not possible to make the claim that "God sometimes uses fallen people to achieve his will" in the way that it is applied by those who try to make it fit Trump. The culture and society in which the Old Testament was written, and to which it applied, is long, long gone, and under the new covenant, established under Jesus the Christ, faith is an influence likened to salt and light, not to the power wielded by a single leader. That was only for the protection of Ancient Israel, which no longer exists. It's a theocratic rule that God hasn't offered to anyone else since then.

But American Christians seem to be prone to believing false prophets when it comes to "end times" doctrine. There'a a long history of believing frauds when it comes to the "rapture" and the second coming and the end times. And the whole modern doctrine of premillenial dispensationalism is a colossal fraud perpetrated mostly on conservative Evangelicals who don't know how to interpret the Bible or understand its history and context.

You will not find anything in the Bible that is prophetic, or which indicates in any way the inevitability of the current war in Iran, or that it has anything to do at all with the return of Christ or anyone's end times Armageddon calendar. The last Biblical prophecy, which is found in the book of Revelation, was fulfilled in history shortly after the establishment of the Christian church in Jerusalem. There are no future events left to be fulfilled, and what we have in the Bible is a historical reference to the founding of the Christian church, and the principles of theology and doctrine which define its practice.
