“This is a kind of baptism of Donald Trump,” says John Fea, author of Believe Me. Some people say the biblical comparison allows Christians to justify supportinga president of questionable character. “God has used this imperfect vessel, this flawed human being like you or I…in an incredible, amazing way to fulfill his plans and purposes,” Evans says of the president. Michael Evans, who established the Jerusalem Prayer Team, says Trump has a similar role in fulfilling biblical prophecy. Trump, like Cyrus, is an unlikely “vessel” for restoring a Christian America, according to some evangelicals. While thanking Trump for relocating the American embassy, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu compared him to Cyrus, saying Trump’s actions would be “remembered by our people throughout the ages.” Wallnau calls Trump a “modern-day Cyrus” who is helping America “navigate through the storm.” The pagan ruler defeated Babylon in the sixth century BCE, ending the Israelites’ captivity so they could return home and build a temple in Jerusalem. Wallnau gained notoriety for saying God told him Trump would be president number 45, and King Cyrus happens to be mentioned in Isaiah 45. Prayer is key, he adds, “because they think we’re crazy, but we’re actually the sane ones.” Referring to the 2020 election, Wallnau says, “This battle for the future of America has already started… God’s begun a miracle let’s keep that miracle going.” The Trump-Cyrus Connection The coin serves as a reminder that “God put something in your hand that you have a role in,” Wallnau says. “Your faith is being released with a million other believers to pray protection and peace and wisdom and counsel over the president of the United States and over his family.”įor $45, Lance Wallnau and Jim Bakker will sell you a Trump/Cyrus coin that you can use as a “point of contact” between you and God as you pray for Trump’s re-election in 2020. The 24-karat gold-plated coin is a daily “point of contact,” Wallnau says. It does not store any personal data.Right Wing Watch, which “monitors and exposes” right-wing political organizations, posted a clip of Wallnau’s pitch.
