Donald Trump’s Presidency and False Prophecy

The statement backing the pro-gun position of many Republicans and the NRA could not have been from the Lord. True Christianity has been reluctant to endorse weapons of any kind, and for instance, it is traditional for clergy to bless troops in war for their protection, but not their armament.

The above demonically-influenced gun control rant echoes several conspiracy theories that circulated about Obama and his administration in conservative Christian circles. The most famous one was the fuss over the Armed Forces exercise in 2015 in the South-West called “Jade Helm 15.” This involved about 1,200 servicemen practicing to intercept a vehicle-loaded A-bomb brought in by terrorists via the southern border – a real possibility.

The conspiracy theory was that the Army was really sent to disarm conservative Texans of their weapons and bring them to empty Wal-Mart stores as makeshift concentration camps – several of which were indeed empty for renovation. Shamefully, this was widely believed, and even the Governor of Texas pandered to this conspiracy theory by ordering Texas National Guard officers to monitor the exercise just in case Texans started to be arrested.

Like many conspiracy theories, hatred and suspicion override common sense. It is impossible for 1,200 soldiers to carry out a grossly illegal order and disarm millions of conservative Texans, who are often very heavily armed.[26] That this conspiracy theory was believed by many Christian conservatives shows something very disturbing about their state of mind towards President Obama, their hatred overriding common sense, and this is continued in The Trump Prophecies – with demonic assistance. 

Here we should note the important role played by the co-author of the Trump Prophesies, Mary Colbert. A well-heeled editor, writer and consultant, she read Taylor’s prophecies in manuscript form. She was from the same anti-Obama, anti-Clinton Republican mindset as Taylor, and instead of serving as a discerning elder, she fell for them whole. She then set out to organize Charismatic pastors and teachers to affirm the prophetic message that Trump was chosen by God to be President. That group has continued to pray for the President in his entire turbulent presidency.

That the Trump Prophesies is a false and demonically laced work is quite plain. Already we can discern some of its harmful spiritual fallout. Many younger persons who might have taken Evangelical Christianity seriously have been appalled by Trump’s tweeting cruelty and speech, and the uncritical support by given by so many calling themselves Evangelicals.

Adding to this calamity is the effects of Trump’s use of the term “fake news. The phrase had been used to accurately to describe invented and false news events planted by Bulgarian hackers for monetary gain. I recall in the year before the Trump Presidency seeing strange and unbelievable stories forwarded by my Facebook buddies. One story claimed that Mexico had built a long and expensive fence on the border with Guatemala to keep out immigrants. The message was of the “hypocrisy” of the Mexican government. It was totally false and the fence pictured in the story was of the Israelite fence along its border with Syria. The Bulgarian news-lies inventors were paid by the number of hits received on their websites. They, like demonic entities were careful to note and pander to the fears, suspicions and hopes of their target audience, often conservative Christians.
