What happened at today’s “Jericho Rally” for Trump?

John Fea   |  December 12, 2020

Today pro-Trump evangelicals and their friends gathered in Washington D.C for a “Jericho March” to “stop the steal” of the 2020 election. Eric Metaxas, the creator and star of the recent Joe Biden parody video in which he transposed a political message over the lyrics to a Christian song performed by acapella group Pentatonix, was the master of ceremonies for a non-stop parade of bombastic, reality-denying speakers. I did not get to watch the entire event, but I live-tweeted through most of it.

The rally got off to a “good “start when Metaxas asked if anyone in the audience had a bazooka so they could shoot down a media helicopter flying over the event.

The day ended with Metaxas blowing a red, white, and blue shofar and the “walls came tumbling down.”

Mike Flynn, the former Trump national security adviser who told special counsel Robert Mueller that he “willfully and knowingly” made “false, fictitious and fraudulent” statements to the FBI about conversation with Russia’s ambassador, was one of the day’s featured speakers:

This Jericho March is the equivalent of one big #LostCause rally: https://t.co/CvxZsvP92P

This is the strangest speech. He is rambling all over the place. #JerichoMarch https://t.co/HJuJofqLQo

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Michael Flynn on 2020 election: We're in a spiritual battle for the heart and soul of the country…and we will win because the truth will prevail. We must fight with our faith and with courage. No one will take away the fresh air of liberty from me. #JerichoMarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

I got a complementary copy of the Epoch Times in the mail the other day. Nearly every article was about voter fraud. This was not the first time this rag was mentioned today:

Flynn: "The media is doing a terrible disservice to this country." Only the *Epoch Times* is doing a good job. #JerichoMarch https://t.co/CvxZsvP92P

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Midway through Flynn’s speech, another helicopter made several passages over the event:

Michael Flynn: "Every time they throw an arrow at [Trump] they throw an arrow at us." (As Trump flies over the crowd in a helicopter and the crowd cheers). #JerichoMarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Trump's helicopter passes by this event multiple times. It's unclear if Trump is actually IN the plane, but most of those on the ground at the #JerichoMarch believe that he is. Flynn says, "That's serious stuff right there."

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Flynn had several family members on stage with him:

Member of Flynn family (I think it's his sister): "Our Lord Jesus Christ came here to divide and set the world on fire." This is why we "must keep fighting for the children." And now she is singing "God Bless America." #JerichoMarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

The election is over. Joe Biden the Electoral College will formally elect him on Monday. He will be inaugurated on January 20. Yet Trump is not going to go away. His followers, like the evangelicals who came to this Jericho March, will be the ground troops for a Trumpian lost cause. This lost cause movement was on display today:

This Jericho March is the equivalent of one big #LostCause rally: https://t.co/CvxZsvP92P

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

I didn’t get this woman’s name:

Crowd is now booing Dominion voting machines. Speaker is hitting platform with a gavel. Everyone is yelling "no King but Jesus" whenever she hits it. #JerichoMarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Messianic Jew Curt Landry spoke:

Now a "prophetic word" from Messianic Jew Curt Landry connecting what is happening at #jerichomarch to the second day of Hanukkah. "God is releasing oil from heaven" to overthrow the election. He is "Seamlessly" moving between the Pilgrims, Jewish history, & biblical verses

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Landry describes a "vision" he had–something to do w/ Charlton Heston, the parting of the Red Sea, lions, & Malachi 4. Unclear how it relates to "election fraud," but he does reference the "deep state." #jerichomarch: https://t.co/CvxZsvP92P

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

I laughed out loud:

As Messianic Jew Curt Landry speaks, a split screen emerges w/ a "My Pillow" ad. Then Landry leaves the stage to the sound of Quad City DJ's "C'Mon 'N Ride It (The Train). I'm serious. You can't make this up. https://t.co/aPCzCRIQ5T #courtevangelicals #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

And there was more:

"Virginia Women for Trump" director: "We prayed for a landslide victory and we got it." #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Yes, Infowars host Alex Jones showed up:

Metaxas: "In the spirit of unity I want to introduce Alex Jones." He is playing with us now. #alexjones #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Alex Jones calls "globalists" Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates "miserable slaves of Satan." Crowd cheers. #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

I hope Alex Jones doesn't have COVID because the first ten rows of the crowd is covered in his spit right now. #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Alex Jones: "God ordained this republic to stand against the great Satanic empires." Not sure what this has to do with election fraud, but the crowd goes wild. #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

The organizer of the rally, Ali Alexander, looks like Sammy Davis Jr.

I think Sammy Davis Jr. was reincarnated to run the "Stop the Steal" movement. "I'm a dangerous Black man who knows Roberts Rules of Order." #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Organizer of a group called "Stop the Steal" giving shout -outs to Newsmax, One America News, Epoch Times. Then says "We don't need Fox News anymore. do we." #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

What would an evangelical pro-Trump rally be without the master of ceremonies illustrating a complete misunderstanding of racism:

Metaxas: "I keep hearing we are all racists, but every now and then I run into a black man at these events." #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Metaxas was introducing this guy:

A Black pastor is now speaking on behalf of Trump. He has a shofar in his hand and talking about a "fresh anointing that is coming on this nation." #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

The Black pro-Trump pastor is about the blow the shofar just as a My Pillow ad appears on the split screen. God and capitalism. #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Christian nationalism and Zionism was everywhere:

Pastor (missed his name): "Some has said this is not a Christian nation. But this IS a Christian nation…and God has an umbilical cord tied to Israel that will never be severed." #JerichoMarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Now the speaker (missed his name, but he is wearing a MAGA hat) is calling out evangelical pastors for not fighting against election fraud like the so-called "Black Robe Regiment." https://t.co/6h1TnaMLcu #JerichoMarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

I took the opportunity to counter bad history with some good history:

A band is now playing The Battle Hymn of the Republic at the #jerichomarch. Here's a good book on that song: https://t.co/jtr4u0DULc

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

They found a couple of Greek Orthodox pro-Trumpers:

Representing the "Eastern Orthodox tradition" at the #JerichoMarch are two pro-Trump bloggers.

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Former Minnesota congresswoman Michelle Bachmann spoke via video:

Michelle Bachmann: "This is a Hebrews 11 moment." She adds: we are standing in our faith for our nation believing "a miracle is about to take place in the United States." (Miracle=Trump election victory). #JerichoMarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

One speaker wants to start a new political party:

Conspiracy theorist Frank Gaffney trying to promote a new political party, the GAP: "Great American Party." https://t.co/ZrEKRWjJ9R

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Pro-life advocate Abby Johnson was way over the top:

Abby Johnson: Joe Biden is not my president and I will spend every day fighting against his fake presidency and anti-God administration. Challenges the "spineless clergy" who stand on "ungodly principles." Then she attacks the Pope. #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Not entirely sure how abortion relates to election fraud and the Dems "stealing" of the election. I guess those at #jerichomarch believe God would never let someone who supports abortion win the election. (This, of course, doesn't explain Clinton and Obama).

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

A lot of speakers came with “prophetic words”:

Self-proclaimed prophet Cindy Jacobs speaking. God told her that the "theme" in 2021 is "The Stand." In 2015 she prophesied: "I have a Trump card in my hand and I'm gonna play it and I'm gonna Trump the system." She leads prayer walks through swing states. #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

And yes, there were threats of violence at this evangelical Christian event:

Guy from Oath Keepers speaking at #jerichomarch. Says Trump should use the Insurrection Act to stop the "insurrection" against his presidency. He calls on Trump to form a militia to stop this insurrection or else Oath Keepers will need to do it later in a "bloody war"

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Lance Wallnau prepared the audience for spiritual war to win back the country.

Lance Wallnau is now speaking about the "spiritual warfare presidency." He continues to talk about a "Christian populist movement" and adds "here comes the backlash." In the South in the 1870s they called this backlash "redemption."

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

The state of evangelical politics:

So far no one at this event has prayed for Joe Biden. But they have casted him into hell a couple of times. 🙂 #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Read the attached post about Kullberg. She once thought I was the son of New Testament scholar Gordon Fee.

Kelly Kullberg now speaking at the #JerichoMarch. Learn more about her here: https://t.co/BrUgWy0Fek

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

He was convicted of witness tampering and lying to investigators, but then he converted to evangelical Trumpism:

Roger Stone: "It was Jesus Christ who gave our president Donald Trump the courage and the compassion to save my life when I was unfairly and illegally targeted in the Mueller witch hunt." https://t.co/9uVZlmURgK #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

“From Twitter”:

Mindy Robinson "from Twitter" now speaking. Says "the Left" champions murderers, but we "champion God." #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

Some speakers mentioned Bible passages:

President of "Bikers for Trump" referencing Ezekiel 33 and calling Trump a "watchman" https://t.co/3mWS3LXr8C #JerichoMarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

It was only a matter of time:

And now we have moved on to the libs who want to "cancel Christmas." This move comes to us compliments of an evangelical "Moms" group. ("They" also "bullied us" to stop celebrating Thanksgiving). She did not vote for Trump in 2016, but did in 2020. #jerichomarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

The last time we heard from this guy he had COVID-19:

PA senator Doug Mastriano is at the #jerichomarch. I thought he had COVID? https://t.co/hgMtW45kgS #mastriano

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

He has a Ph.D in military history:

Mastriano calls Trump's loss in yesterday's Texas lawsuit a "gut shot," but America has been "down" before. By the way, Washington didn't "push-on to Monmouth" in 1776 after the battles of Trenton and Princeton. Battle of Monmouth occurred in 1778. @SenMastriano #JerichoMarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

It looks like this group will be back on Inauguration Day:

Sammy Davis Jr. look alike is back. Telling everyone to come back on January 20, Inauguration Day, to "occupy Washington D.C." #JerichoMarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

The day ended with another prophetic word:

Messianic Jew Jonathan Kahn is ending with a "prophetic word." America is heading for judgment–the "biblical template of national judgement has begun." Why? Because of racial protest, tearing down of monuments to founders, and the Biden victory. #JerichoMarch

— John Fea (@JohnFea1) December 12, 2020

But not before Metaxas blew a red, white, and blue shofar. And the “walls came tumbling down.”

What is the Cost of Discipleship? Ohhh I know!
Rocking an American flag shofar at an anti-democratic fascist rally.
Thanks @ericmetaxas https://t.co/qhTk5zAP5Z
