Evangelical Christians are an important pillar of US Republicans. But the Trump administration isn’t letting everything get away with it, as an appearance by the Vice President shows.
US Vice President JD Vance apparently firmly believes in the end of the world. He is trying to do “as much of God’s work as possible,” said the Republican politician on the evangelical influencer Bryce Crawford’s podcast. If his work “leads to the end of time, fine,” Vance said, “and if it leads to us building a better world that thrives and continues long after I’m gone, then that’s great too.”
The Vice President continued that he did not know whether the “end times” had already begun. But it is certain that she will come. The only question is whether in a few thousand years or in just a few months, says Vance. It wouldn’t surprise him if the Antichrist was already among the people. The Revelation of John in the New testament According to this, the Antichrist will appear in the end times as an opponent of Jesus Christ in order to turn people against God.

Vance has to justify AI image of Trump
Among Protestant evangelical Christians in the USA The belief in a biblical end of the world is widespread. However, Vance converted to the Roman Catholic Church in 2019, which interprets the biblical apocalypse more symbolically than concretely. Evangelical Christians in the USA have been an important political supporter of the Republicans for decades and the majority also support the President’s administration Donald Trump. However, they do not follow Trump unconditionally, as JD Vance’s podcast appearance shows.
The Vice President had to justify to his host an AI image that showed Trump as Jesus Christ healing a sick person. Trump himself published the picture. Podcaster Crawford said that as a Christian, this portrayal angered him. Vance now explained that the president simply had a good sense of humor and didn’t want to offend anyone. Trump himself has now removed the photo from his platform Truth Social deleted.
