Trump’s Reelection: Evangelical Prophecies Failed
Trump’s Reelection: Evangelical Prophecies Failed
By Julio Severo
Political campaigns can lead people, even Christians, to a level of passion and activism parallel only to evangelism, which should be passionate because of its important mission of leading people to Jesus and His salvation.
Christians can be carried by such campaigns from the left or right.
Even though it is a horror a Christian embracing any kind of socialism, it was horrifying to see prophets in 2020 prophesying something that God never told them and never sent them to tell. They were carried by political delusions, and predictably their prophecies never were fulfilled.
Carried by herd political delusion, major prophets said that Donald Trump would be reelected. No problem for God to fulfill what He promises.
The problem is: even though in His mercy God allowed Trump to get a first term, in His sovereignty He did not allow him to have a second term. And the reasons are not obscure.
Trump and his administration were championing the same homosexual agenda that was always condemned by evangelical leaders when it was promoted by left-wing administrations, including Barrack Hussein Obama.
Yet, these leaders remained silent about Trump’s pro-sodomy stances. They were vocal to prophesize what God did not say (Trump’s reelection) and had no voice to say what God said:
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22 ESV)
They should be vocal in their Christian stance that the Trump administration was promoting and condoning an abomination around the world. But they remained silent about what God’s Word says and opened their mouths to say that God had given Trump a victorious reelection.
God remained, as ever, faithful to His Word, not to the “prophetic” words of prophets carried by passionate political campaigns.
Now, many of these prophets are presenting their public apologies for their failed prophecies, leaving many Christians confused about prophets and their prophecies.
Perhaps the most important lesson to be learned from this “prophetic” failure is that, regardless of who is in the White House, Christian leaders have a biblical responsibility to speak to the president what God says in His Word. All of them should clearly say to Trump that he was promoting an abomination.
Their silence about God’s Word and an open mouth to express their passionate political prophecies tainted their ministries and showed that God is not subjected to the whims of His prophets carried by political passions.
This is not the first time that prophets are misled by the deceit of their hearts. God’s Word says:
“And the LORD said to me: ‘The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I did not send them, nor did I command them or speak to them. They are prophesying to you a lying vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own minds.’” (Jeremiah 14:14 ESV)
“Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying, and say to those who prophesy from their own hearts: ‘Hear the word of the LORD!’” (Ezekiel 13:2 ESV)
“How long shall there be lies in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies, and who prophesy the deceit of their own heart.” (Jeremiah 23:26 ESV)
They prophesied lying visions, worthless divination and the deceit of their own hearts — because their minds were much busier with a political candidate than with God, who rules the destiny of the world.
They behaved in political desperation thinking that God had the obligation to have the same political desperation. For them, God had an obligation to intervene to hinder Joe Biden, the Democratic Party and their nasty socialism.
Yet, God has no obligation to tolerate a pro-sodomy “conservative” candidate to defeat a pro-sodomy socialist candidate. Sheer delusion!
And He does not like when the prophetic ministry is manipulated by politicians.
God always fulfills what He promises. He destroyed Sodom because of sodomy (homosexuality). But He has no obligation to fulfil the political whims of His prophets, especially when they refuse to condemn the abomination supported by the political candidate they chose.
Can God give Trump a second chance? Yes, but firstly Christian leaders should close their mouths about their prophecies with lying visions, worthless divination and the deceit of their own hearts and open their mouths to speak what God says in His Word.
Trump and America need to hear loud and clear: Homosexuality is an abomination in God’s sight. They need to hear and repent.
