"The end of days may arrive within months": Vance's unusual interview

US Vice President J.D. Vance declared that the end of days is inevitable and may arrive even "in a few months," adding that he would not be surprised if the Antichrist, a figure symbolizing evil in the Christian faith, is already walking among us. In an interview with Christian content creator Bryce Crawford, Vance linked his feelings to developments in the world, including the increasing use of artificial intelligence, which he described in certain circumstances as "pretty satanic."

"Do I think we are in the end of days? I don't know," Vance said.

According to him, although the subject fascinates him, excessive focus on it could be harmful. "If my work leads to the end of days - fine. If it leads to us building a better world that will thrive and survive long after I die - that's also great."

Vance, who published a spiritual memoir this summer dealing, among other things, with his conversion to Catholicism, added: "The end of days may be approaching - in fact, it is indeed approaching. The only question is whether it will arrive in thousands of years or in a few months."

The Vice President also claimed that certain occurrences in the world make him think he would not be surprised "if the Antichrist is walking among us." As an example, he pointed to the expansion of the use of artificial intelligence and said that one of his acquaintances used AI as a marriage counselor - a use he defined as "pretty satanic."

"When you completely disconnect a human from the social foundation for which God created us - that is a very bad thing," he explained.

Later, Vance was asked if he had ever been in a place where he felt "spiritual darkness." He replied that he had participated in meetings with world leaders where things were said that triggered, according to him, "every spiritual alarm bell" in his body. However, he did not disclose which leaders or meetings he was referring to.

Vance also addressed an image created by artificial intelligence in which President Donald Trump was depicted in the image of Jesus. The image was published by Trump earlier this year, sparked criticism among Christians, and was subsequently deleted.

"The President did not mean to offend. It is clear that he loves Christians," Vance claimed. "Did Donald Trump intend to post a meme in which he is depicted as God? No. He has a good sense of humor and he did not intend to mock God or imitate Him." Trump, for his part, claimed after the removal of the image that it was supposed to present him "as a doctor who makes people feel better."
