It was all the rage back in 2020. A chorus of prophetic leaders announced with certainty that Donald Trump would be reelected and serve a second term in the White House, but he did not – at least, not in 2020.
Now that he has been reelected, resoundingly at that, does this mean that these prophets were right after all?
Certainly not.
First, some of the “prophets” (I will let God decide their actual status and calling) said that Trump would serve 8 consecutive years. They were dogmatic and clear and aggressive, even after the 2020 election results were announced.
“Watch and see” they proclaimed, but nothing happened.
Second, after Biden’s victory was announced, the prophets predicting his reelection doubled down. Many said that he did win the election, but it was stolen.
But that raises the question: if Trump would win but actually lose, why didn’t God show them this too? This would be like me giving you a prophetic word that a rich man would be giving you a Porsche next week, entirely for free. I just failed to tell you it would be carjacked on the way to your house and you would never see it.
Others doubled down by saying, “In the coming weeks, the results will be overturned and Trump will be declared winner,” with some prophesying specific timetables in which this would take place.
None of this happened – not in a single instance or court case – despite their guarantees.
Others claimed that there would be a coup and Biden would be removed from office. It would happen right after the inauguration.
Or in March.
Or April.
Or August. . . .
Still others claimed that Biden was not inaugurated, that there was an actor (or shapeshifter!) taking his place, and that Trump was the true president in God’s sight. Seriously!
Still others moved into other realms of spiritual fantasy, as characterized by this “vision” allegedly received in April 2021:
“As I was praying today I saw a vision of DJT seated on a throne holding a golden scepter. He also had a golden crown on his head. This, I was shown, is his PRESENT status from heaven’s perspective. That becomes all I need to know, as to should I back off saying ‘the steal will not hold’. Heaven does not recognize JB having any scepter nor wearing any crown. From heaven’s perspective, there is only the legitimacy of DJT. God has assigned a massive contingency of angels to that scepter and to that crown. They have not ceased assignment and anointed seers can see this. To repeat, the prophetic word has been true all the way from Nov 3. On that date, DJT won the election “as spoken by His servants the prophets”. IT WAS FULFILLED. The only thing presently yet to be made visible is will an outrageous steal hold for a whole term. It will not! The answer from God to the question of when is—SOON. Do I have a date on that SOON? No, I don’t.”
Enough said.
You might say, “But what if God did show these prophets that Trump would be reelected, but they just misinterpreted what they saw?”
That’s actually a valid question, and it’s in keeping with biblical prophecy, in which the prophets did not always understand the timing of the revelations they received.
As Peter wrote,
“Concerning this salvation, the prophets, who spoke of the grace that was to come to you, searched intently and with the greatest care, trying to find out the time and circumstances to which the Spirit of Christ in them was pointing when he predicted the sufferings of the Messiah and the glories that would follow. It was revealed to them that they were not serving themselves but you, when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things” (1 Peter 1:10–13).That’s why we have no business setting dates and putting time frames on prophetic words we claim to receive unless God Himself gives us those dates.
Given that the whole story of Trump’s reelection is almost impossible to believe – whether you’re for him or against, it seems almost miraculous – I have no problem believing that God showed people in 2020 that he would serve two terms.
If He did, the failure was in speaking prematurely and giving false hopes and expectations, rather than praying secretly for God’s will to come to pass based on prophecies received.
It would also have been fine if they had said, “God showed me Trump will serve two terms, but I have no idea if they’ll be consecutive or not.” Today, we’d be shaking our heads in awe and marveling.
Let us, then, tread carefully when it comes to speaking for God.
It occurred to me back then that what they might actually be seeing was Trump reelected in 2024.
You just named one Man of Predictions, but I don’t recall anybody else making such predictions, at least no one who sold him or herself as some kind of Psychic.
Maybe such people were on networks I rarely ever link to.
We don’t have many card carrying Jeane Dixons anymore.
If you’re not a Christian you probably would not have heard about them. Even most Christians probably weren’t aware of the “prophecies” Brown is talking about.
I believed two prophecies that Trump would serve two terms. In the natural (man), we all think it’ll be the consecutive as is the norm. But God was not surprised by 2020 but rather revealed how corrupt the system is and why America was shown the effects of the cheating. Like Bannon has said repeatedly, playing off of Obama “Elections have consequences, STOLEN Elections have CATASTROPHIC consequences”. Thus We the People prayed and acted and were motivated to see God’s Hand save our nation.
Brown, in my opinion, is a bit full of himself.
What a garbage theme for an aritcle.
Having said that - at least he acknowledges the miracle of Trump winning and prophetic words not fully understood. I’m glad to see that admission.
One of my favorite prognostication stories is The Psychic Network. The got the singer Dione Warwick to be the face in commercials. When The Psychic Network went bankrupt, all I could think about was “how did they (the ‘psychics’) not know their Psychic Network was going to declare bankruptcy?”
We underestimated the determination (and ability to cheat) of THE Political Party
of Child Sex Trafficking.
Hopefully that won’t happen again any time soon.
a couple hundred of these “prophets” right here that knew all along he was coming back:

Anyone claiming to be a prophet is a charlatan or huckster.
And that’s best case scenario.
“...that knew all along...”

Gots to get them clicks. That means a never ending stream of content. No matter how stupid.
The role of a Prophet is not a Las Vegas Odds Maker. The role is say “A famine is coming, stock up”. or “Good days will be followed by bad days, stock up”.
Summer 2020, months before the November election, Democrats who lost in the local GA primary accused other Democrats of exactly the same thing Republicans said in Nov 2020.
But if Trump supporters had listened to the prophets describing the wickedness of fellow Democrats, they would have been prepared for November. Trump supporters were, in effect, warned and ignored the warning. They did not prepare and were caught flat footed with no clue how to prevent the events, no clue hos to document and quantify the events after the fact.
The role of the Prophet is not to predict the future...but to tell believers to be prepared for the future.
Many of their prophecies have failed, not just ones about Trump. But this link is about them making contrary prophesies about Trump, and trying rebuke one of their own:

Funny, yet at the same time disgusting
“Apostolic Commission of Prophetic Elders”
Yeah, right...
Liars.
Anyone who calls themselves a prophet in this day and age is someone you need to avoid at all costs. That’s all I’ll say.
Not religious prophets, but I still remember Charlie Ward and Simon Parkes and Robert David Steele and a boatload of others saying much the same thing without the religious drivel.
Ward said it was all “a pantomime” akin to a play having Biden in office. The “white hats” and the military were going to re-install Trump, ya know.
Then they shrank away.
Consider these possibilities:
(a) 1000-year kingdom was spiritual, of unknown duration but ended in 2020.
(b) past four years has been the little season, verifying in considerable detail a lot of Biblical prophecy.
(c) second coming is imminent, Jesus will return and the eternal kingdom will begin.
(d) because Trump will be president again, America can begin to take on its ordained role in the kingdom (and the new Jerusalem will be in America).
I believe this is why God allowed such egregious bad acts as we saw from the Biden regime and in terms of the COVID lockdowns etc. It answers any believer’s reasonable question, why did God abandon Trump (and us) in the face of great evil? It was all fore-ordained to end in this way.
(I foresee events after Jan 20 to indicate this is unfolding)
I think Trump probably did win that 2020 election if truth were known. He sure DID win this 2024 election ...in a very big way. Of course if you look at his competition, it was hard to see how he would NOT win it. He had no real competition!
