Dave Hayes: Christians Must Rethink Their Understand of the End Times Because Trump is Creating a Utopia
June 3, 2019 2:08 pm
Dave Hayes, a self-declared prophet, Christian author, and online activist who is better known as the Praying Medic, hosted a livestream on Saturday in which he proclaimed that Christians are going to have to rethink their conception of the End Times because President Trump is on the verge of creating a literal utopia on earth.
Hayes argued that the contemporary interpretation of the events depicted in the book of Revelation, in which things grow worse and more corrupt as the return of Christ nears, is faulty and was crafted at a time when the world was regularly going through massive global conflicts. The many evangelical Christians who have been taught that version of the End Times, Hayes insisted, have been mislead because now we are past that and are actually living in a world that is increasingly heading toward utopia, thanks to Trump.
<snipping out the conspiracy stuff>
Hayes went on to recount a supposedly prophetic dream before the 2016 election in which he was shown a world that would happen if people voted for Trump.
In this world, there was no poverty, no homelessness, no lack, no suffering, he said. There was lavish abundance everywhere, for everyone. There was no lack, no poverty, no homelessness, everybody was thriving and everybody was blessed. That was a world I saw that was possible if people voted for Trump.

(2,313 posts)It's the gaslighting that disturbs me most. We can fix problems if we understand what is real. If we can't understand reality collectively, as a society, as a country then we can't even agree what problems need to be fixed.
It's the kind of dystopia that has to stop before we begin to address the other vital issues.

(1,526 posts)For over 2000 years fundamentalist Christians of many stripes have woven hard to believe prophecy that keyed off of the Book of Revelation. It took only a couple of years of Trump and this yokel is suggesting that all that stuff in Revelation be discarded because Trump will bring a paradise on Eartha utopia ( this utopia will it be for you and me).
Ive always had a healthy contempt for fundies as they routinely believe the utterly unbelievable. But now I want to weep because there are people out there that stupid.
