Editing Concerned Christians (section)

== Beliefs and values ==
The Concerned Christians believe that the [[Dissolution of the Soviet Union|collapse of the Soviet Union]] in 1991 signaled "[[Christian eschatology|the time of the end]]". They interpret many biblical passages regarding the apocalypse through the lens of political events in world history. It is stated that they believe that the [[President of the United States|office of the U.S. President]] is the seat of the [[Antichrist]]. For example, in what is titled ''The Seed of Abraham'', the group reports that [[Abraham Lincoln]], the 16th President of the United States, was the archetypal Antichrist and helped build the "Babylonian nation that leads the entire world astray". They see [[American patriotism]] as a "foolish" compromise to their Christian beliefs. Founder, Monte "Kim" Miller proclaimed that he was "the Prophet of the Lord", and that [[God in Christianity|God]] spoke through his mouth.<ref>{{Cite web|title = Kim Miller Concerned Christians - Unsealing Bible Prophecy|url = http://www.kimmillerconcernedchristians.com/|website = www.kimmillerconcernedchristians.com|access-date = 2016-02-22|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20160301003053/http://kimmillerconcernedchristians.com/|archive-date = 2016-03-01|url-status = live}}</ref>

A 1999 article published by ''[[The Guardian]]'' described it as originally an [[anti-cult movement|anti-cult group]] which worked alongside the police and established churches "to preach against the dangers of mind control by extreme religious groups" before at some later point turning itself into a cult.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Sharrock |first1=David |last2=Borger |first2=Julian |date=4 January 1999 |title=Case of cult-fighter who changed sides awakens Israelis to millennium danger |url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/1999/jan/04/davidsharrock.julianborger |work=The Guardian |location=London |access-date=10 September 2023}}</ref>
