I could find two pastors that have said that Trump “was raised up for such a time as this.” From the book of Esther. One of them also referred to Mr. Trump as standing in the gap in the hedge to save America from destruction. The biblical reference pertains to standing in the gap between the people and God. The pastor turned the phrase a bit as standing in the gap between the people and the government.
Another said Mr. Trump had God’s hand on his life, and Billy Graham had written a letter to Mr. Trump with a “prophetic word”. (No confirmation by anyone).
I imagine many pastors and people that support Cruz and others have used the same or similar verses to promote their candidate. (Hmm - I wonder if Hillary or Bernie have verses ascribed to them. Well - Hillary might have the one about the four horsemen of the Apocylpse I suppose.)
I haven’t heard what Beck said, but it sounds like pretty crazy stuff compared to what others have said about Mr. Trump. But I guess one’s definition of crazy might include thinking that God gives a rip about who will be president or who will win the Super Bowl. (I believe that God does care - at least about ONE of those!)
God has always cared. That really isn’t the point.
Adam and Eve made choices assuring that God’s preferences would not dictate human choices.
If God were to intervene in such matters, I would have expected the rise of Islam, Stalin, Hitler, and Mao to have taken greater precedence than the election of 2016.
