Isn't this biblical? The anti-christ will broker in a false peace that is to last seven years, but he breaks it half way through. So why won't Christians consider the possibility that Trump is the anti-christ?
Half-way would essentially be the end of Trump's term. I apologize for the AI, but it was the most succinct.
EDITED TO ADD: I, myself, am a red-letter Christian; however, I am not here to try to convert anyone. People come to religion or they don't come to religion based on their own path in life, and it is not my business to judge what anyone does. I have many friends who are other religions, or agnostic or atheist. Each person chooses their own way in life and that's how it should be.
The seven-year covenant
A deceptive peacemaker: The idea of the Antichrist as a peacemaker is largely drawn from Daniel 9:27, which describes a "prince" who "will confirm a covenant with many for one week" (understood as seven years). Many evangelicals and dispensationalists interpret this figure as the Antichrist.
The beginning of the Tribulation: According to this view, the signing of this seven-year covenant with Israel, not the Rapture, marks the start of the final seven years of human history, known as the Tribulation.
A false peace and a hidden agenda: The treaty will appear to provide a solution to the long-standing conflict in the Middle East and will be celebrated as a sign of global peace. However, the Antichrist's true motive is not reconciliation but world domination.
The covenant's betrayal
The halfway point: At the midpoint of the seven-year period (after three and a half years), the Antichrist will break the covenant with Israel.
The Abomination of Desolation: This betrayal is tied to the "Abomination of Desolation" prophesied in Daniel and mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 24:15. The Antichrist is expected to invade Israel and desecrate the rebuilt Jewish Temple in Jerusalem by setting up an image of himself and demanding worship.
The Great Tribulation: The breaking of the peace treaty initiates the final, more intense three-and-a-half-year period of judgment known as the Great Tribulation. This period includes severe persecution of the Jewish people and all who do not worship the Antichrist.
The ultimate outcome
The reign of the Antichrist ends when Jesus Christ returns to earth. Jesus will defeat the Antichrist and his armies at the Battle of Armageddon, casting the Antichrist and the False Prophet into the lake of fire.
