From the moment Trump became the Republican nominee in 2016, religious-right activists rushed to declare that Trump had been personally chosen by God to save the country. A group of MAGA “prophets” rose up during Trump’s time in office and built up sizeable online and real-world followings by issuing a steady stream of prophetic declarations guaranteeing that Trump would be reelected to a second term.

Having allegedly heard directly from God that Trump’s second term was assured, these “prophets” were predictably dismayed when Joe Biden won the election and was inaugurated as president on Jan. 20, 2021. Not only had their preferred political candidate lost, but their standing as “prophets” was in jeopardy.

As such, these “prophets” spent the last year doggedly promoting the Big Lie about the election and vehemently insisting that they are not, in fact, false prophets:

While there may have been millions of Americans who saw Trump as chosen of God just as there may have been millions of Americans who saw Obama as chosen of God, I believe God may not have been as supportive of either president as much as zealots wanted to believe. But Christians who honored God saw a difference between the two presidents in their positions on values clearly influenced by God. God is not in favor of homosexuality and abortion and God is in favor of religious liberty and patriotism.

The trump prophecy is a false flag, and FBI operation. It is less weird when you understand it.

After our above, I read that Michael Gerson has died.

One of the biblical injunctions sometimes cited by Michael Gerson, who died Thursday at the age of 58 after a long battle with cancer, comes from the New Testament book of Colossians: “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.”

That advice works not only for Christian believers such as he was, but also in the sometimes brutal political world in which he made his mark. He was a presidential speechwriter whose own words were, indeed, singularly seasoned and notably full of grace. For the past 15 years, he enriched the pages of this newspaper as a columnist for the Opinions section.

But civility, as Mike also noted, does not preclude tough-mindedness. Nor should it be mistaken for a lack of principles or perspective. His own were rooted in the faith that fueled and defined his involvement with politics, and he was scorching in his assessment of his fellow evangelicals when theirs took what he saw as a more cynical turn. In a September essay he wrote these supposedly conservative Christians “have broadly chosen the company of Trump supporters who deny any role for character in politics and define any useful villainy as virtue. In the place of integrity, the Trump movement has elevated a warped kind of authenticity — the authenticity of unfiltered abuse, imperious ignorance, untamed egotism and reflexive bigotry.”

“This,” Mike wrote, “is inconsistent with Christianity by any orthodox measure.”
