Although he is not the final Antichrist that the Bible warns about, Donald Trump has been helping fulfill many aspects of prophecy. Donald Trump is expected to help enable the rise of the final Antichrist\u2014so will any possible successor to him. &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>While I believe that he believes he wants to help, certain of his actions are pointing to destruction.<\/p>\n<p>Donald Trump has made political, economic, and military statements which will ultimately help the rise of the upcoming Beast power in Europe. Donald Trump seems to think the relationship between Europe and the USA is better than it really is.<\/p>\n<p>This European Beast power will, after it has a prophesied reorganization and rises up, destroy the United States (Daniel 11:39). And the leader of this power is supposed to rise up \u201cWhen the transgressors have reached their fullness,\u201d (Daniel 8:23). &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unintended Consequences<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While Donald Trump seems to believe that his policies are best for the United States, notice some unintended consequences of them: &#8230;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pushing tariffs and sanctions on other countries is contributing to the rise of the final time of the Gentiles (Luke 21:24; Ezekiel 7:24).<\/li>\n<li>Pushing tariffs and other policies that foreign nations do not like is contributing to other nations looking to bypass the USA dollar, as well as trade more with each other and less with the USA. This will further push various globalist\u2019s moves forward without the USA. This is also helping set the stage for the coming European Babylonian Beast to dominate international trade. &#8230;<\/li>\n<li>Pushing against Europe\u2019s unity is encouraging the Europeans, which are prophesied to have unity difficulties (cf. Daniel 2:41-43), to try harder to unify, which will happen after at least two reorganizations (Revelation 17:12-13).<\/li>\n<li>By breaking political norms and acting like a \u2018strong man\u2019 this will help Europeans being more accepting of their beast \u2018strong man\u2019 (Revelation 13:1-10; 17:13).<\/li>\n<li>Donald Trump\u2019s statements will help promote the rise of stronger European leaders like Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg.<\/li>\n<li>Although, overall, the European nations have not paid for their defense to the amount they have suggested they would, pressuring them to spend more will 1) encourage them to be independent of the USA and 2) put Europe in a position where it has a great army (Daniel 11:25), many ships (Daniel 11:40), and access to nuclear weapons (cf. Deuteronomy 29:23-25; Isaiah 9:19-21;Ezekiel 6:6), which will help it conquer the USA, which is the military power with the strongest fortresses (cf. Daniel 11:39).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Christians are to \u201cwalk by faith, not by sight\u201d (2 Corinthians 5:7). By faith we trust the prophecies in the word of God over plans of humans (cf. Psalm 118:9).<\/p>\n<p>That is one way for Christians to avoid negative \u201cunintended consequences.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>More items, as well as specific predictions related to the presidency of Donald Trump are in the Amazon Kindle book: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=trump+unintended+consequences\">Unintended Consequences and Donald Trump\u2019s Presidency: Is Donald Trump Fulfilling Biblical, Islamic, Greco-Roman Catholic, Buddhist, and other America-Related Prophecies?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Below, in\u00a0<em>italics<\/em>, are statements from that book, with the page numbers where the prediction can be found in the printed book shown within ():<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><em>Pushing tariffs and other policies that foreign nations do not like is contributing to other nations looking to bypass the USA dollar, as well as trade more with each other and less with the USA.
