Trump Changed Evangelical Thought On the Apocalypse

In Emily St. John Mandel's novel "Station Eleven," survivors of an apocalyptic pandemic do their best to rebuild their lives in northern Michigan. Some of them build an apocalyptic cult premised on the idea that the epidemic was a judgment from God that spared those who were worthy. One of the characters, Tyler Leander, takes the title of "prophet" and builds a militant, Christian-infused apocalyptic movement - a movement that in the book, of course, fails.
