...who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God.
Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things?
And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time.
For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way.
And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming.
The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.

apostasy: the abandonment or renunciation of a religious or political belief or principle
It all goes together, religion & politics aren't really that seperate in "God's own country".

I find it odd people looking for the end time signs have a tendency to focus on the cryptic Revelation (John was without a doubt high as a kite when he wrote that) and ignore the much more likely straightforward Epistle of Paul.
So here's what's going to happen:
Trump is going to lose, it's going to end in front of the Supreme Court who'll give him a second term that will "unleash him" he'll probably replace Abe with a statue of himself and other fun stuff, like "Law & Order" as the devil's euphemism for "killing as many as I can"... why bother with the whole trial jazz, they're "anarchists and criminals", right?
And personally I have big issues with people calling Jesus "God" he was/is an alien and far from it but..."ubi solitudinem faciunt, pacem apellant"... I mean if that's what people like Bannon, etc. really want who am I to stand in the way?
So I guess, for those who still don't get it: yeahi Jesus is coming soon!
For those "who love the truth": # we're in trouble - aliens are coming back!
*I thought I'd take that whole apocalypse thing to the next level and personally I enjoy my version a lot*

I have faith in our creater too. I also do not believe in organized religions. They are all man made.
How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!
You said in your heart, "I will ascend to the heavens; I will raise my throne above the stars of God; I will sit enthroned on the mount of assembly, on the utmost heights of Mount Zaphon.
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High. But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit. Those who see you stare at you, they ponder your fate: "Is this the man who shook the earth and made kingdoms tremble, the man who made the world a wilderness, who overthrew its cities and would not let his captives go home?
All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb. But you are cast out of your tomb like a rejected branch; you are covered with the slain, with those pierced by the sword, those who descend to the stones of the pit. Like a corpse trampled underfoot, you will not join them in burial, for you have destroyed your land and killed your people. Let the offspring of the wicked never be mentioned again."
