    Interesting thought, but there are a few problems with this:

    • The antichrist was supposed to be a genius military tactician. Trump isn’t a genius anything.
    • The biblical Armageddon wasn’t meant to be a prediction of the distant future, but was prophesied to happen within the lifetime of the original apostles, so 2,000 years ago.
    • The general scholarly consensus is that the Nero was meant to be the antichrist, and that the whole story was descriptive rather than prescriptive.

    It’s a fun theory, though.
