The foremost and consummate antichrist type in the Bible is Antiochus Epiphanes. In the book, “The Understanding of Ornament in the Italian Renaissance”, author Clare Lapraik Guest, states that his processions, “contained temporal allegories and robed statues of the gods plus mythological scenes.” In 168 B.C. he conquered Jerusalem, and inside the Jewish temple, slaughtered a pig on an idol he built to the god, Jupiter. In referencing the Abomination of Desolation in the book of Daniel, Christ linked the Antichrist to Antiochus (Mark 13:14). Antichrist — like Antiochus before him — will also set up an idol in the future temple in Jerusalem and sacrifice to it.

What you will witness are pictures of Trump’s penthouse on the 66th floor of Trump Tower. It is essentially designed like a Roman (Greek) temple — equipped with Roman style marble pillars, numerous statues and artwork to the gods.

The name Judas means, “praised”. The name Iscariot means, “man of the city.” Together they mean, “Praised man of the City”. And Trump is the ultimate praised man of the city. Barbara Walters is quoted as calling him, “Prince of the City.” Ernst Wilhelm Hengstenberg has suggested that the name Iscariot means, “liar”. Others have said it comes from the Aramaic word meaning “red color”. What are the chances of all these interpretations fitting perfectly as a description of Donald Trump?
Other than the one who betrays Christ, do you know what other distinctive role Judas played as one of the twelve disciples? An interesting account of Judas is seen in John 12:3-6, which says, “Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume. But Judas Iscariot, one of His disciples, who was intending to betray Him, said, ‘Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to poor people?’ Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box,
