An actual theologian with brains has decided to throw the entire weight of his scholarship (as well as a s**tton of irony) at analyzing everything in the Bible about how to recognize the Antichrist. It's a long read (though broken up with illustrations) but IMO worth every second it takes.

The remark (near the end) which had me being very grateful I had nothing in my mouth when I was reading it was this:

Well, we know the Antichrist hates God and doesn’t worship him– but the Bible *does* actually let us in on a secret and tells us who the Antichrist does worship… and spoiler: it’s not actually Satan.
Drum roll please…..
The Antichrist will worship the god of border walls

I surely thought so. I've seen some of his work before, as someone whose comments I follow on Disqus reads him a lot. On thie strength f this article, I subscribed myself.

From http://www.dumbingofage.com/2016/blog/antichrist/

A little context: the cartoonist, Dave Willis, grew up in a strict conservative evangelical household, and Joyce, the little kid/older kid/young woman in this progression is something of an alter-ego of his about how that bubble bursts for some people, and of some of the hypocrisies that manifest in the people for whom it doesn't burst.
