What are the prophesied characteristics of the anti-Christ? Which of these can be convincingly linked to Trump? I’ve seen a lot of suggestions without much context but never really seen a deep dive into the subject making the case
That channel has many videos on the subject. He makes some interesting points and uses scripture.
There is always the issue that the Book of Daniel and Revelation are open to some interpratation, but nevertheless I'd say Trump fits the description better than Obama.
In the Book of Daniel the little horn's defining characteristic was that it spoke "boastfully"
in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth boasting of great things. -- Daniel 7:8-9
That is Trump's truly defining characteristic. He is absurdly boastful. Moreover "Trump" is related to the word Trumpet, which in ancient times was literally a horn.
The little horn is also brought up in the context of the end times. After that verse Daniel sees a vision of the Lord
“I kept looking
Until thrones were set up,
And the Ancient of Days (God) took His seat;
and the "Son of Man"
One like a Son of Man was coming,
And He came up to the Ancient of Days
And was presented before Him.
“And to Him (the Messiah) was given dominion (supreme authority)
That's true. Of course that has been interpreted in so many different ways. But nevertheless in terms of a sign, it's interesting that Trump matches up with it. It's both a head wound and can fall under the category of "signs and lying wonders" mentioned in Thessallonians.
The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, and signs, and lying wonders, -- 2 Thessalonians 2:9–11 NKJV

Interesting threads, thanks for bringing them up.
I heard chatter about a head wound being part of the prophecy in revelations, is that accurate?
