Over at NBC News, Mike Hixenbaugh is covering the MAGA evangelicals who believe Trump’s victory yesterday was a fulfillment of prophecy. Here is a taste:
Lance Wallnau, a celebrity evangelist who has spent decades calling on conservative Christians to occupy positions of power and influence over society, told followers onĀ an election night livestreamĀ that Trumpās victory had been prophesied years ago ā a key step in Godās plan to usher in a new era of Christian dominion around the world.
āThereās a different dialogue about spirituality happening in America,ā said Wallnau, who hadĀ worked to mobilizeĀ Trump voters in swing states. āAnd with Donald Trump,ā he continued, God has āgiven permission to take it right to the White House.ā

Woops! Those 2020 prophecies were actually meant for 2024. Here is Julie Duin at The Roys Report:
Smelling victory, some of the charismatic Christian prophets backing presidential nominee Donald Trump are already rejoicing on social media.
āI stand by every word that God gave me, see you on the other side of victory! Numbers 12:6,ā wrote āProphetāĀ Charlie Shamp,Ā president of Destiny Encounters International in Moravian Falls, North Carolina, on X Monday night.
Shamp was one of several dozen charismatic/Pentecostal leaders who said in the fall of 2020 that God had mandated a second term for Trump in 2021. Now, he and other āprophetsā are amending their earlier prophecies, saying the prophecies were right, but the dates were wrong.
Shampās followers agree.
āI believe that a lot of prophetic words given in 2020 were misapplied and were actually for 2024. (Almost like a time shift),ā wrote one.

If I remember right, Billy Graham was sometimes criticized for his close relationships to presidents. I guess now it is ok for all these “prophets” to chummy up to Trump and sell their souls to him.
