On a Sunday morning at Beth Israel Worship Center in Wayne, N.J., a bearded pastor named Jonathan Cahn stood on an elevated platform, gazing over a full house. Stage lights shifted from blue to white as the backing band played a drifting melody. Two men hoisted curled rams’ horns and let out long blasts. Sitting at the end of a sleepy drive an hour from Manhattan, Beth Israel may look like any common suburban church. But the center has a highly unusual draw. Every weekend, some 1,000 congregants gather for the idiosyncratic teachings of the church’s celebrity pastor, an entrepreneurial doomsday prophet who claims that President Trump’s rise to power was foretold in the Bible.
Mr. Cahn is tapping into a belief more popular than may appear.
A recent Fox News poll found one in four Americans believe “God wanted Donald Trump to become president.” Celebrities like the televangelist Paula White and Franklin Graham have boosted the idea. The president’s own press secretary suggested as much in a January interview. And on the opening day of the Conservative Political Action Conference this month, the millionaire businessman Michael Lindell took to the stage and declared President Trump “chosen by God.”

well the Revelations did say there would be seven trumps
:D
If this is the harbinger guy, time has proven him to be a false prophet.
Not a totally positive treatment, of course, but if a few people go over to YouTube to listen to Cahn, I’m glad they ran it.
Yes, he did try to predict particular signs as being prophetic, but he has recanted that, and his general message is kosher, in every way.
Trump is the warrior-king Jehu, who took control of the nation and cast idols out of the capital. “Jehu also sought to drain the swamp,” Mr. Cahn said.
Trump, “like his ancient predecessor,” Mr. Cahn writes in his book, was a “flawed vessel” being used by God. “The unlikely and controversial warrior was destined to become the new ruler of the land,”
Sounds about right... he's got the Clinton's pegged... and yeah, Trump's chosen - and flawed. (as we all are...)
“If this is the harbinger guy, time has proven him to be a false prophet”.
Yep, it’s him. He changes his tune as events unfold. From what I’ve seen, he’s a phony.
Trumpets, not Trumps.
Singular - Revelation
I remember following him, and then, a couple of weeks before the date approached, he created a video where he almost looked drunk, as he already started backpedaling BEFORE the date.
Once a “prophet” is proven. wrong, I have no interest in anything he has to say. About anything.
From what I’ve seen they are almost always phonies.
Especially the End of Days promoters.
“I will come like a thief in the night” makes it kind of hard to predict end times.
“You will know not the day nor the hour” also makes it tough.
Now the responses will come as to how these are taken out of context and some people, REALLY SPECIAL people, know when.
If you twist Scripture enough then you can say that the Gospel of John prophesied the coming of microwave burritos.

[[Trumpets, not Trumps.]]
I read the abbreviated version
Wait... it didn't?! There goes my new church...
It’s worth noting that traditional Jewish Orthodox rabbis like Mendel Kessin and Yosef Mizrachi have been talking about Pres. Trump’s special role in America’s redemption.
Both are very popular teachers and speakers with many, many videos and audios on Youtube and several other websites.
1 Corinthians 15:52, (KJV) In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump:. for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
Pun intended or not is the question, since Hebrews are known to fond of such.
Other versions of the bible use Trumpet.
http://patburt.com/ A true story . . . no date or time specific.
I’m often reminded of:
Luke 21:34-36
Matthew 24:36-44
Revelation 3:3
I don’t trust the New York Times to get a religion story right, but Jonathan Cahn? Yeah, I’ll pass.
