Christian Prophets of Baal: When False Gods Fail

The video discusses the false prophets of America who endorsed Donald Trump's re-election.

It explores the reasons behind their failure, including confusing the American government with the kingdom of heaven.

The video also highlights the churches' failure to preach the message of Jesus and their reliance on emotionalism.

It critiques the false prophets' perversion of scripture and their declaration of themselves as the Word of God.

The False Prophets of America This video is the second in a two-part series on the false prophets of America, who said that Donald Trump would win the November 2020 presidential election. What happened in America at that time dwarfs any previous example of false prophets or false prophecies in human history. It's not often we can say that something religious has made Bible events seem trivial by comparison. But that is the case this time. Literally millions of Americans, maybe even tens of millions, dutifully voted for Donald Trump's re-election based almost entirely on the endorsements that he received from religious leaders in America, who united in prophesying and proclaiming to their followers that God himself had chosen Donald Trump and divinely anointed him to save America, if not the entire world, by being re-elected to a second term in office. So how did such a colossal embarrassment to the cause of Christ come about? What started it, and what kept it going, even when it had become obvious that it was a totally false prophecy? And what keeps these people in their positions of authority even now, after having been shown to be absolutely wrong in their predictions? We have to go back much further than Donald Trump to trace the roots. We have to go back even before the birth of the United States. From the days of Constantine, the so-called church, the religious establishment, has constantly promoted empires over the kingdom of heaven. Jesus said that his kingdom was invisible, and Paul said that it was symbolized by what he called the foolishness of the cross. So what does that mean? The foolishness of the cross? It means that, rather than fight to gain control of the Roman Empire, Jesus let the Empire of his day crucify him. The irony is that Jesus, by that otherwise foolish yet loving act, ended up changing the world more than all of the opponents of his day combined. This is the remarkable paradox of the good news about the Kingdom of Heaven that Jesus came to establish. But everywhere else that you look, throughout history, it has been one empire after another, and always they have fought with carnal weapons in the name of God. So let's make that number one on our list of explanations for what went wrong in America in 2020. They confused the American government with the kingdom of heaven. Jesus said, My kingdom is not this world. Yet the institutional church in America played right into the hands of what would have been the most corrupt and dishonest leader the country has ever had. Because, like Satan tempting Jesus in the wilderness, this arrogant man said, Bow down and worship me, and I will subdue all the nations of the world under your feet. I saw in a vision Joe Biden melting away like a digital image disintegrating as the pixels fell apart. And the Lord followed with a passage of scripture. The Lord Most High is to be feared, a great king over all the earth. He subdues people under us. He subdues peoples under us and nations under our feet. A second reason that the churches of America made such fools of themselves is that the message that Jesus preached, they never preached. Not once. And it happened because the churches of America confused the Bible with the Word of God. The Bible itself is very clear. Jesus is the Word of God. And the teachings of Jesus are contained most perfectly in the four Gospels . Study the rhetoric and pour through the thousands of sermons that were preached all over the country last year, and you will find that it was all built on snippets of Scripture that come from anywhere else except the four Gospels. By telling the world that every other word of that book is equal to the teachings of Jesus, they managed to steer people entirely away from what true Christianity is all about. This, too, has been going on for a very long time. But there is a third contributing factor, which followed on from the second. Preachers in America don't just teach the Old Testament. Through incredible leaps of logic, they can say anything they like and still claim that it came from the Bible. I'm going to call this third factor, emotionalism, for lack of a better word. Smooth-talkers can distract people away from what the Bible actually says after quoting a few words from it and then send everyone home, thinking that they heard it straight from the Bible. Yet, the Word of God says that Donald Trump is going to be the new Messiah. He has been anointed by God for that role. Jesus promised this would happen. He said that people would come in his name, and he said they would be promoting false Christs. That word, Christ, or Messiah, just means an anointed one. There has never been a more widespread more documented and more earth proclamation of a false Christ in the history of cults and heresies than has happened over the past year in the hearts and minds of millions of Americans who let themselves become infected with Trumpism. And they did it at the behest of some of the biggest names in American evangelicalism. These false prophets found it easy to jump from calling all the other Bible writers the Word of God to calling themselves the Word of God. Listen as Sid Roth explains it. Surely the Lord God does nothing, nothing, without revealing His purpose to His servants, the prophets. And I have been interviewing prophet after prophet that I trust that has been saying without blinking an eye, Donald Trump will have two terms. President Trump is going to win. I believe the word of God. I believe the prophets. If they are all wrong, it doesn't destroy my faith in God. It destroys my faith in the accuracy of the prophets. but I still have faith in the prophets because my faith is in the Word of God. Can you hear the absolute insanity of this man? I call it emotionalism on my list of factors because through strong emotions they're able to take people away from reason into an alternate reality where they will believe anything. It is a type of insanity a pandemic of insanity and the whole world is suffering from that at the moment. It has done more damage than the COVID pandemic. Listen to it again. Sid Roth says, If the prophets are wrong, I still believe the prophets. And why does he believe the prophets? He believes them because they are the Word of God. I believe the Word of God. I believe the prophets. if they are all wrong. I still have faith in the prophets because my faith is in the Word of God. They have literally declared themselves to be the Word of God, made flesh. They don't need Jesus. They don't even need the Bible now. They, the self-declared prophets, are the Word of God. And if what they say turns out to be a total lie, then we are supposed to believe it anyway. Or we would, according to their bizarre reasoning, be challenging God. Refusing to read the Bible as it is written just opens the door for unscrupulous leaders to tell any lies they like. And when they are challenged or exposed, they just tell you that only a seasoned expert like themselves can see that their lies are not lies. They are the ones getting the emotion right, even if the reason is totally insane. It takes a seasoned prophet to really understand it. All of them are saying President Trump has won. Now I want to look at two perversions of scripture on which these false prophets rested all of their authority. In Isaiah 45 verse 1, the Hebrew prophet Isaiah refers to a Babylonian king named Cyrus as his anointed one, His Christ, remember? His Messiah. Cyrus was not even a Jew. He was a pagan. But God used him. The Bible says that God caused Cyrus to make a decree that the temple should be rebuilt in Jerusalem, and, to that extent, Cyrus was anointed by God. In Daniel 6, verse 28, it also says that Daniel prospered during the reign of Cyrus. And here is where emotionalism took over. Hundreds of false prophets, followed by millions of American evangelicals, became convinced that the Bible says that Donald Trump, no matter what he believes or practices, if he can bring prosperity to you personally, and if he can get a temple built over there in Jerusalem, then that man must be anointed by God. They literally saw him as the coming world ruler, and still they worshipped him. That, for those who keep scratching their heads for an explanation as to why so many otherwise intelligent, respectable people suddenly voted for a man whom the whole world could see was an inveterate, deluded liar, that is the answer. They voted for him, because they believed he would side with the Jews against the Muslims, and, in so doing, he would make America and the church prosper. That is, after all, the great American dream, isn't it? Prosperity. The love of capital. It became their patriotic duty to vote for Trump, because Trump was God's anointed one, God's Messiah, like Cyrus, and he was going to make the nation, and especially all of his false prophets, prosper. So that is the first leap from Scripture that supported the whole fiasco. All these Bible-believing Christians convinced themselves that they had scriptural support for believing that, Antichrist or not Trump was God savior for America and for the world But there was one more passage from the Bible that was used incongruously to support all these prophets And that was that these prophets were whether individually or collectively the reincarnation of Elijah It is believed by many that Elijah, along with Moses, will appear on the earth shortly before Jesus returns. Most mental institutions have people in them who are convinced that they are Elijah. It is one of the most repeated delusions among schizophrenics all over the Western world. Yet all of these false prophets of Trumpism identified with Elijah. Here's the background to this. Elijah had a confrontation with an evil king and his evil wife in the Bible. King Ahab and Queen Jezebel had taken to worshipping a false god called Baal. So Elijah challenged 450 prophets of Baal to a showdown, a test of their god versus his god. They would both make an altar and kill a bullock to put on their altar as a sacrifice to their respective gods, and they would both pray for their God to send fire down miraculously from heaven to consume the sacrifice. Elijah let the prophets of Baal go first. They made an altar, killed a bullock, and laid it on a piece of wood on the altar. Then they prayed, louder and louder, all morning long. They jumped up and down, climbing onto the altar themselves, and in the afternoon they started cutting themselves in an effort to get their false god to act. It went on all day until Elijah had had enough. Then Elijah prepared his bullet, and he put it on his altar. But he further taunted the false prophets by asking for four barrels of water to be poured on the sacrifice and on the altar. Then, he asked for four more barrels of water, followed by yet another four barrels of water, which soaked everything and even filled up a trench around the altar. Then Elijah asked God to show the people that he was real by setting fire to the sacrifice. Well, God sent such a fire that it not only consumed the wood and the sacrifice, but it flamed on the stones of the altar itself, and boiled away all of the water in the trench as well. So that is the story. But the mistake that all these hundreds of false prophets of the modern-day Baal made is that they assumed that they could just use the name of Elijah's God, and it would make them Elijah. Listen to Hank Kuhneman, one of the key figures in the Kenneth Copeland School of False Prophets... Are we coming into agreement with the spirit of lies? Are we coming into agreement with Jezebel's prophets? Or are we going to listen to God and agree with Him? That is a very good question, Hank, and all indications are that YOU came into agreement with the father of lies Himself. You did NOT listen to God, and you did NOT agree with God. You were too busy trying to agree with your colleagues, and to agree with the evil king and the evil queen, just like the prophets of Baal. Because they had forgotten about what Jesus said, these false prophets in America fell together in a horrendous delusion about their own spirituality. Jesus had predicted that in the last days, the false prophets would actually come in HIS name. Like the Pharisees in Jesus' day, they have been operating unchecked from within the religious establishment, so they can compare themselves with Elijah, but all the evidence shows them to have really been prophets of Baal. Jesus said that when he returns, he will destroy those same false prophets, and he will say, I never knew you. But listen as one of them compares these hundreds of false prophets to Elijah rather than comparing them to the prophets of Baal. He said this when the Democrats were already celebrating their win at their polling booths. As someone who is in touch with all the prophets in America who have prophesied that Donald Trump would win a second term, they're not giving an inch. They're not willing to budge. They're not willing to repent. All of us are unanimous, believing the word that God spoke to us, that Trump indeed would win a re-election. And that what's happening right now is the false prophets of the media are literally cutting themselves. They're dancing in the street and they're shouting. I've told people this, listen, If he doesn't end up getting re-elected, I will openly repent to the body of Christ. And this is where I have to give this guy, Jeremiah Johnson, some credit. As promised, he has openly repented to the body of Christ. He has received hundreds of hate emails and numerous death threats from the followers of Baal for doing so. But Jeremiah Johnson is an illustration of the good that COULD come out of this whole horrible mess. If others in the churches across the United States will face up to the bitter truth that they have been preaching a false gospel and following a false god in all that has led up to this colossal failure, then there really could be a revival among those who have so far only taken the name of Jesus without getting serious about obeying him The Church of America needs to stop pointing fingers at everyone else and to do some serious repenting themselves for their blindness for their greed and for their self They need to become like little children and learn all over again what it was that Jesus actually taught. Here is another one just days before Joe Biden's inauguration, pretending that the inauguration represented a very confident Elijah dousing his sacrifice with water. It almost looks impossible. How in the world is God going to act now that we just poured water on a prophecy that we just declared that he would answer by fire? To some, January 20 is their dousing. If it goes the other way, they think that every prophet is wrong. Right now it looks like our hopes are being doused. Next week it looks like our hopes are being doused, but that's when the fire falls and things begin to shift and change. No, no, no. Things did not shift. In the real world, the inauguration happened. It's history now. If any comparison is to be made between that election and the false prophets of America, it can only be that fat Ahab and his Jezebel wife have been trounced. Impeached. And in the process, the prophets of Baal have been shown up for the phonies that they are. The fire has fallen, but it fell on Biden's altar and not on Trump's. So, in conclusion, they got it wrong by putting their faith in the empire of Ahab and Jezebel, rather than putting their faith in God. And they did it by ignoring the teachings of Jesus and by ignoring rational thought in favor of deluded emotionalism, mostly under the guise of those delusions being revelations of God's Spirit. But we can put one final point on the list, and that is that they failed by putting their faith in numbers. Evangelical believers know that they are in an environment where it will be unpopular to speak up in favor of the truth, to defend immigrants, to treat black Americans with dignity and respect, to oppose war and guns, to give sacrificially to help the poor, to speak up for gays and lesbians, and just generally to tell the truth when everyone else is lying. So what do they do? They go with the flow, echoing everything that their masters tell them to say. And when it is questioned, you just say, don't dare to question the status quo. Political correctness can be taken to an extreme, but religious political correctness is the worst extreme of all. Hank Kuhneman sums up this final point about trusting in numbers when he expresses his own disbelief that he could possibly have been wrong. And you can't tell me over hundreds or thousands of prophetic voices, intercessors, believers all missed it. Yes, Hank, they all missed it. Just like the prophet of Baal missed it. You missed that the road to hell is broad, very broad, whereas the road to heaven is narrow, very narrow. If only you had listened to Jesus, he might have learned that. I hold little hope for the false prophets themselves to change. They will slink away, mumble justifications, possibly make weak left-handed apologies, but then pop back up with the same basic flaws and some new scheme to get rich or to anoint someone else as king over all the earth. And yes, their king will most likely end up ruling the world from a new temple in Jerusalem. Are you getting my drift? False prophets rarely turn into true prophets. Nicodemuses never leave the religious system to which they owe their fame, and so they never discover the invisible and eternal kingdom of heaven that Jesus spoke of. So I will address my closing remarks to the millions who were deceived by these false prophets. As Elijah said to the children of Israel, how long will you halt between two opinions? If Jesus is the Word of God, then follow him. But if the false prophets of right-wing white evangelicalism are the Word of God, then follow them. I'll leave the last word to one of their own, a man who admitted that he had no word from God himself, but that he believed these men implicitly, the blind leading the blind. I don't know where he stands today, but it is time for professing Christians of America to stand up and be counted. Will you do like your prophets told you and fight to take over the country? Or will you turn to Jesus in humble prayer, begging for his forgiveness and dedicating your life to obeying him? Choose this day whom you will serve. As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. God never told me about Trump being re-elected, but I believe everyone that God did tell that to. .
