Trump and His False Prophets

March 26, 2026

A prophet is a person who speaks in the name of God, according to the etymology of the word.

A false prophet is, in a sense, a charlatan who claims to speak in the name of God but who, in reality, acts under the inspiration of the devil. The false prophet is ultimately exposed a posteriori when it becomes clear that his prophetic predictions were false.

In the modern, de-Christianized contemporary Western world, the accusation of false prophecy is hardly ever used anymore. Yet many false prophets operate publicly; they are visible on television and on social media (and also in the print press, even if no one reads it anymore).

There are several types of false prophets: the greatest and most famous ones, who have twisted contemporary Western thought, are named Descartes, Nietzsche, Sade, Rousseau, Freud, Marx, and Darwin.

But there are also the minor false prophets who influence kings, presidents, and other gang leaders.

When these false prophets pretend to be Christians, thereby damaging the reputation of Jesus and the Christian people, it is particularly condemnable.

One such scene took place on March 5, 2026, in the Oval Office of the White House in Washington, D.C., a few days after the start of the Israeli-American aggression against Iran.

The staged scene shows President Trump surrounded by a group of 20 pastors praying for him and approving his actions. But beware: these “pastors” were carefully chosen—they are overwhelmingly Zionist. The two most notable in this gathering were Paula White-Cain (in red) and Greg Laurie (to her right), authentic Zionists.

Prayer or False Prophecy?

Despite the gravity of Trump’s sin in launching this war, Trump received no rebuke or call to repentance from these “faith leaders”; on the contrary, Greg Laurie’s prayer was an encouragement for Trump to continue in his evil ways:

“We are honored to come before Your presence today, lifting up the arms of our president(1). We pray for Your continued blessing and favor to rest upon him. We pray for wisdom from heaven to flood his heart, his mind(2), and Lord, that You will guide him in these challenging times that we’re facing today. I pray for Your grace and Your protection over him. I pray for Your grace and Your protection over our troops and all of our men and women serving in our armed forces. And Father, we just pray You’ll continue to give our president the strength that he needs to lead our great nation as we come back to one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all(3). We pray Your heavenly blessing upon him(4), in Jesus’ name(5). Amen.”

First, five remarks on this prayer:

1. “lifting up the arms of our president” refers to Moses, whose hands were held up by Aaron and Hur while he prayed during the battle of the people of Israel against Amalek; when his arms were raised, Israel prevailed; when they were lowered, Amalek prevailed (cf. Exodus 17:8-14). Implicitly, this would mean that Iran is Amalek!

2. “for wisdom from heaven to flood his heart, his mind” is indeed very necessary, but it remains a vague generality, whereas current events clearly showed serious and specific lacks of wisdom in that heart and mind (Trump’s).

3. “we just pray You’ll continue to give our president the strength that he needs to lead our great nation as we come back to one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”: this assumes that the aggression against Iran is a just war commanded by God, whose purpose would be liberty and justice. This is not true, however, for this aggression was requested by the Israeli state in order to provoke utter chaos in the Middle East and, by extension, throughout the world. Moreover, the first wave of strikes, which was meticulously prepared, included a girls’ school in Minab (Iran) and killed 168 students aged 7 to 12, 26 teachers, and 4 parents (in a double strike, the second one killing rescuers): what beautiful justice and what a fine example of Western liberty! What a splendid illustration of a nation obeying God and His Law and serving as a model for the world!

4. “We pray Your heavenly blessing upon him”. Since when does God recommend blessing those who commit crimes? On the contrary, the Law of God requires that criminals be judged and condemned. And the role of Christians in such a case is to confront, rebuke, and remove leaders for their crimes, even before bringing them to judgment.

5. “in Jesus’ name”: this is the cherry on top, for Jesus did not ask us to aggress a nation at peace and kill innocent civilians. This is taking the name of God in vain. It is blasphemous.

These pastors who thus prayed for Trump behaved like yes-men, approving the war crimes committed by the USA and the Israeli state in their aggression against Iran.

They are outside—and even the very opposite—of their proper role, which would be to relay the teaching of Jesus, the Prince of Peace, and to exercise a prophetic role in denouncing and thwarting the evil actions of the princes of this world, guiding them back to the right paths.

This is what many other pastors, bishops, and rabbis have done—those who were not invited to the White House for this reality-TV staging because they are not Zionists.

And fortunately, the honor of Christianity was upheld¹ on March 17, 2026, by Joe Kent, who publicly resigned from his post as director in the National Counterterrorism Center, reestablishing the truth that had been concealed by these so-called “Christian leaders.” He thus delivered a truly prophetic speech²:

“I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby. (…)

This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.

As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times and as a Gold Star³ husband who lost my beloved wife Shannon in a war manufactured by Israel, | cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people nor justifies the cost of American lives.

I pray that you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran, and who we are doing it for. The time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. You hold the cards.”

A Precedent

History is not circular; it does not repeat itself identically, but certain situations recur as patterns because of human nature. There is a biblical precedent for this Trumpian reality-TV show: it is chapter 22 of the First Book of Kings (also in 2 Chronicles chapter 18):

3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?

4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.

5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.

6 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

7 And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?

8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he doth not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

9 Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah.

10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.

11 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the LORD, With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have consumed them.

12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king’s hand.

13 And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.

14 And Micaiah said, As the LORD liveth, what the LORD saith unto me, that will I speak.

15 So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.

16 And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that which is true in the name of the LORD?

17 And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.

18 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but evil?

19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on his left.

20 And the LORD said, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.

21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

22 And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

23 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.

24 But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?

25 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see in that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.

26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;

27 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come in peace.

28 And Micaiah said, If thou return at all in peace, the LORD hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.

29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.

30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.

31 But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with the king of Israel.

32 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.

33 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

34 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn thine hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.

35 And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.

36 And there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.

We have created an illustration of this biblical passage, featuring familiar faces from today.

Thus, just as the true prophet Micaiah had announced, and contrary to what the false prophet Zedekiah had announced, the king of Israel, Ahab, died in that lost battle. Ahab had been an ungodly king, a worshiper of Baal because of his idolatrous wife Jezebel. He had also killed Naboth in order to seize his land.

The parallel between this episode and the present situation is striking: the man who claims to be the heir of Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a revisionist atheist Zionist, is one of the masterminds behind the genocide in Gaza, the expropriations in the West Bank, and multiple wars. He therefore continues to organize the elimination of Palestinians in order to deprive them of their land, exactly as Ahab did with Naboth. He went to see his buddy Donald Trump in the USA in December 2025 in order to launch a war against Iran as early as February 28, 2026; Netanyahu probably has something like an Epstein file so that his offers cannot be refused by Trump.

Trump was comforted in his error in early March 2026 by this whole band of Zionist false prophets. He was also warned by a new Micaiah (Joe Kent), whom he is now trying to put in prison! Without pushing the analogy too far, since the future remains to be written, we can already say that this war against Iran has little chance of turning to the advantage of the Western powers:

1. God reigns and laughs at the proud and the arrogant; His Law forbids murder; a war without a real and serious cause is nothing but a collection of murders;

2. The motivation of the Israeli state and the USA is anti-Christian, for it is a plan for a “Greater Israel” that God does not support—especially since this plan involves genocides and ethnic cleansing, and we are now in the New Covenant, in which all peoples have access to salvation through Jesus Christ;

3. Iran is a large, mountainous country that possesses more advanced technologies than the USA and is therefore better armed and strategically prepared; if Iran were threatened in its very existence, it would be capable of permanently destroying both the Israeli state and the oil regimes in the Gulf allied with the USA, which would trigger a worldwide economic crisis worse than 1929.

Prayer for the Authorities According to the Bible

The Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans, chapter 13, specifies the role of civil authorities in verse 4: “For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.”

We are not called upon to pray for the blessing and encouragement of an authority that commits evil. The framework for prayer for the authorities is given in 1 Timothy 2:1-2: “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.”

We therefore do not have to support the wrongdoings of these authorities, but to pray that these authorities do not harm us or the reign of Jesus Christ. It is always shameful for Christian leaders to behave with politicians like groupies, so honored to receive their attention, without fulfilling their role as ambassadors for Christ by confronting these politicians with their sins (the genocide of abortion, iniquitous legislation, unjust wars, plundering of the population, etc.).

And the Church as such has no duty to validate the whims of political leaders. On the contrary, it has always had the role of reminding these politicians and the peoples of God’s ordinances; from the prophets Nathan, Elijah, Jeremiah, Micaiah, Daniel, etc., down to modern times with St. Odilon, St. Vincent de Paul, William Carey, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, John Paul II, Mother Teresa, etc. all these Christians—and a myriad of others—have exercised a truly prophetic action by rebuking or exhorting the politicians of their time, sometimes with success.

There is still work to be done in France as well: the genocide against unborn children is in full swing; the genocide against the elderly, the sick, and the disabled is under discussion in the National Assembly; involvement—at least financial—in the unjust wars of the American empire is real, despite abyssal debts and the impotence of the French state and the EU. The spirit of the Truce of God promoted by St. Odilon is more necessary than ever.

Appendix: Who Are These Zionist “Pastors”?

The false prophets who compromised themselves with Trump by supporting his Zionism are for the most part, Zionists and therefore already heretical. Two of them stand out as the apparent instigators of this reality-TV show: Paula White-Cain and Greg Laurie.

Of the 20, the following personalities have been identified:

Name	Affiliation/Role
Paula White-Cain	Organizer; Trump’s spiritual advisor; director of the White House Faith Office
Greg Laurie	Pastor, Harvest Christian Fellowship; led the prayer (according to several sources)
Tom Mullins	Founding pastor of Christ Fellowship Church (Florida)
Robert Jeffress	Senior pastor of the First Baptist Church, Dallas
Samuel Rodriguez	President of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference
Ralph Reed	President of the Faith and Freedom Coalition
Gary Bauer	President of American Values (formerly with the Family Research Council)
Nate Schatzline	Leader of Mercy Culture Church; Texas state representative
David Barton	Historian and evangelical political activist (WallBuilders LLC)
Jentezen Franklin	Senior pastor of Free Chapel
Johnnie Moore	Evangelical leader and public-relations consultant (The Congress of Christian Leaders)

Paula White-Cain

Born in 1966 in Mississippi, she is an American woman pastor, televangelist, author, and spiritual advisor known for her prosperity theology teachings and close ties to former and current President Donald Trump. She has built a multifaceted career in ministry, media, and politics, overcoming a challenging childhood marked by poverty, abuse, and personal struggles to become famous.

Ministry Career and Rise to Prominence

In 1991, White-Cain co-founded the Tampa Christian Center in Tampa, Florida, with her then-husband Randy White; it later became Without Walls International Church. The church grew rapidly, reaching 20,000 members by 2004 and becoming one of the largest in the U.S. She briefly served as senior pastor in 2009 after her divorce from Randy in 2007, which caused half the congregation to leave and led the church to file for bankruptcy in 2014. From 2011 to 2019, she led New Destiny Christian Center in Apopka, Florida (renamed City of Destiny in 2019), succeeding the late Zachery Tims. In 2023, her son and daughter-in-law launched StoryLife Church in Apopka, where she serves as a teaching pastor.

White-Cain’s ministry evolved in the 2010s to emphasize apostolic leadership and prophetic elements, positioning herself as a “spiritual pioneer” and “cultural reformer.” She has mentored celebrities like Michael Jackson, Tyra Banks, Darryl Strawberry, and Gary Sheffield. As president of Paula White Ministries, she hosts global events, such as the 2026 Unleashed Conference, hosts her television program Paula White Today (launched in 2001 and broadcast on networks such as TBN and BET), and is the author of motivational titles on overcoming adversity.

Personal Life and Marriages: the Turmoil

White-Cain has one son, born in 1985 from her first marriage to Dean Knight (1984–1989). She married Randy White in 1990; they divorced in 2007. They had met while attending the Damascus Church of God in Maryland, where Randy White was associate pastor. They divorced their respective spouses and married. The couple settled in Tampa, Florida, and founded the Without Walls International Church in 1991. In 2015 she married Jonathan Cain, founding member of the rock band Journey, after he divorced his wife Elizabeth.⁴

Relationship with Donald Trump and Political Involvement

White-Cain’s association with Trump began in 2002 when he contacted her after watching her TV show. In June 2016, evangelical leader James Dobson (Focus on the Family) credited White with converting Trump to Christianity. She led Bible studies for him in Atlantic City (famous for its casinos) and appeared on his show. She chaired his evangelical advisory board in 2016, delivered the invocation at his 2017 inauguration, and served as his spiritual advisor. In 2019, she advised the Faith and Opportunity Initiative. During the 2020 election, she prayed publicly for Trump’s victory, including a viral session invoking “angelic reinforcement.” She attended the January 6, 2021, rally preceding the Capitol events.

In February 2025, after his second inauguration, Trump established the White House Faith Office via executive order and appointed White-Cain its leader and senior advisor—a role she continues to hold as of March 2026. In this capacity, she has organized events like the March 5, 2026, Oval Office prayer session for Trump amid U.S. military actions against Iran, and praised him as the “greatest champion of faith” at the February 2026 National Prayer Breakfast.

Zionism

Paula White-Cain is also a key figure on the “Commission on Religious Freedom of the Department of Justice,” and she scandalously expelled Catholic Carrie Prejean Boller for her positions against the genocide in Gaza.

For Paula White-Cain instrumentalizes the Scriptures to demonize any criticism of Israel, calling for support of the Israeli state, presenting the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital as the fulfillment of a prophetic promise, organizing prayer vigils and pilgrimages to the Holy Land for her congregation, and inviting Israeli leaders—including Netanyahu—onto her programs to strengthen Christian solidarity with the Israeli state, never questioning the legitimacy of the genocide of Palestinians that it perpetrates. She maintains total silence on the iniquity suffered by the Palestinians.

In October 2025 the Israel Allies Foundation⁵ named her, for the third time, “top Christian ally of Israel,” explicitly highlighting that her influence in the White House had helped strengthen ties between the United States and the Zionist movement.

In summary

Paula White-Cain is well entrenched in the evangelical world of megachurches, an adherent of a mixture of prosperity theology (with activities bordering on simony), charismatism, and Zionism. She actively whitewashes the genocide perpetrated by the Israeli army and the spoliations suffered by the Palestinians.

Paula White-Cain therefore resembles a sort of caricature of a televangelist whose elastic morality accommodates support for genocide while uttering aberrant prophecies. Trump can be seen as her worthy disciple: tumultuous, impulsive, unpredictable, incoherent, and brutal.

Greg Laurie

Greg Laurie, born in 1952 in California, is an American Baptist pastor, evangelist, and author who rose to prominence during the Jesus Movement of the 1970s. Raised in a broken home amid the counterculture era, Laurie converted to Christianity at age 17 after attending a Bible study at his high school in Newport Beach. He began his ministry at 19, leading a small Bible study that grew into Harvest Christian Fellowship in Riverside, California, which he founded in 1973 (originally from the Calvary Chapel movement but joined the Southern Baptist Convention in 2017). The church now has several campuses in California and Hawaii with over 8,000 members. Laurie also founded Harvest Crusades, large-scale evangelistic events that have drawn millions. He has authored over 70 books, including Jesus Revolution (which inspired a 2023 film about his life), and hosts the radio program A New Beginning. Laurie has served in national roles, such as honorary chairman of the National Day of Prayer and on the board of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. He holds honorary doctorates from Biola University and Azusa Pacific University. Married to Cathe since 1974, they have two sons; their eldest, Christopher, died in 2008.

Theological and Church Affiliations

Greg Laurie is evangelical; he believes in the inerrancy of Scripture, the Trinity, and the need for evangelism. His main biblical teachings focus on personal salvation and end-times prophecies. As a premillennial dispensationalist⁶, he is mistaken in his interpretation of Old Testament prophecies already fulfilled, which he projects into the future with numerous approximations that have long been refuted.

He is emphasizing the importance of honoring those in authority regardless of political affiliation. “And if they ask for prayer, I would pray for any president. I’m commanded—we are commanded in Scripture—to pray for those that are in leadership over us.”⁷ His application of these Scriptures is nevertheless erroneous, for his prayer approves Trump’s actions even though they are contrary to the Gospel.

Zionism

In a recent message⁸, Pastor Greg Laurie pushed back against the growing acceptance of “replacement theology,”—the belief that the church has replaced Israel in God’s redemptive plan.⁹ “Some would even say that God has broken His covenant with Israel and now it’s given over to the church. This is called replacement theology,” he declared. “I don’t believe that God breaks promises that He makes. I believe God chose the Jewish people, and they are still His chosen people.” In so doing, he ignores the reality of God’s judgment in 70 A.D. upon that previously chosen people, according to the terms of the covenant spelled out in Deuteronomy 30. It is a rhetorical device that caricatures traditional supersessionist theology by labeling it “replacement theology,” even though it is far more than that and rests on a solid biblical corpus that cannot be dismissed so lightly.

Quoting God’s promise to Abraham in Genesis 12:3: “I’ll bless those that bless you, I’ll curse those that curse you” he emphasized the spiritual debt Christians owe to the Jewish people: “We have been so blessed by the Jewish people. Where did our Bible come from? From the Jews. Where did our Messiah come from? From the Jews.” Greg Laurie is here operating at the level of coffee-shop theology:

• misinterpreting Genesis 12:3,

• forgetting the history of the Jews’ rejection of Jesus in the time of Jesus,

• forgetting God’s judgment on Jerusalem in 70 A.D.,

• the reckless assertion that Israeli settlers imported from Eastern Europe are indigenous to Palestine and therefore have the right to drive out the true indigenous inhabitants!

In summary

Greg Laurie is at heart a decent Christian pastor, a good student of dispensationalism¹⁰, but one who never studies too seriously the biblical foundations of what he preaches. Because of this, he believes he must support an erratic President Trump and a genocidal Israeli state. It is a regrettable voluntary blindness that leads him to oppose the true Sovereign, Jesus Christ. For to use a fanciful interpretation of the Scriptures is to betray their meaning and usurp their authority: that is what false prophets do.
