� WHEN POLITICS STARTS LOOKING LIKE PROPHECY — WHAT HAPPENS TO THE CHURCH?
What happens when political identity begins to overlap with religious identity?
In this provocative episode of The Escape Room Podcast, we examine a controversial graphic contrasting “MAGA Evangelicals,” “New Adventism,” and “Old-School Adventism”—and use it as a starting point for a much bigger conversation about faith, politics, prophecy, religious liberty, nationalism, leadership, and the identity of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
� Are we interpreting politics through prophecy—or prophecy through politics?
� Can Adventists affirm America's prophetic significance without turning American identity into a religious identity?

� When does admiration for a political leader become loyalty to a political leader?
� What does Jesus' parable of the wheat and tares actually teach us about identifying supposed apostasy?
� What happens when political or medical positions become tests of someone's faithfulness?
� And what should Adventists make of claims involving the United Nations, communism, Marxism, and end-time prophecy?

So where is the line?
When does civic engagement become political identity?
When does prophetic interpretation become political projection?
And when political movements compete for our allegiance—
Who gets the final word?
� Scripture?
� Political power?
� A leader?
� A nation?
Or—
� Jesus Christ?
