It was an image that made many people - especially Jewish people - stop in their tracks and ask what the heck was going on. Some Jews took offense, some joked uncomfortably that it looked like the world’s weirdest Bar Mitzvah, but to most, it was unsettling.

Trump as the ‘second coming of God’

Since President Trump’s election, many in the evangelical community have lauded him, grateful for his work to protect and propel some of the Christian values we hold so dear. The support has been unwavering, as he enjoys high marks from about 70 percent of evangelicals, many of whom are so concerned with protecting their rights and key issues that they don’t want to do anything that might jeopardize that support for Trump and cause people to vote against him.

But perhaps one of Trump’s most disturbing steps came Wednesday, when the president, who claims to be a Christian, tweeted quotes of and therefore validated radio host Wayne Allyn Root’s words that “the Jewish people love [Trump] … like he’s the King of Israel. They love him like he is the second coming of God.”

Christians believe and profess that the only true “King of Israel” is God, as clearly stated in Isaiah 44:6, and that he sent his son, Jesus Christ, the Messiah, into this world. That makes the description of Trump as “the second coming of God” shocking, blasphemous and sacrilegious.

The silence from my fellow evangelical colleagues, ministry partners and friends that has followed is deafening. Many of them refuse to call out moral failures on the right that they have so vehemently attacked on the left.

In the evangelical community, we have come to incorrectly believe that any critique of Trump only serves to promote the party on the left. But embracing critiques proves we are objective, not blind to the flaws in political parties or our presidents.

Trump is neither the “Second Coming of God” nor the “Messiah.” In repeating the profane quote, he gave a narcissistic endorsement and even thanked Root, a well-known conspiracy theorist, for his words.

Messianic claims are dangerous, because God does not share glory with anyone.

‘I am the chosen one’: Trump again plays on messianic claims as he embraces ‘King of Israel’ title

Another historic leader, Herod Agrippa — the king of Judea after Jesus’ death, from 41 to 44 A.D. — once found himself in a similar situation. In the New Testament chapter of Acts 12, Herod was called “God.” Herod’s response? He took credit. The Lord’s response? He sent an angel to kill Herod. In Herod’s case, the Bible doesn’t say he repeated the title — only that he allowed it to be spoken. Perhaps the president can learn from Herod’s mistake.

I am a conservative evangelical who cast my vote for Trump for the very same reason many other evangelicals did: his conservative stance on issues concerning abortion and religious freedom. I visited Washington last October for a briefing at which faith leaders listened to White House officials address many policy issues.

Christians cannot proclaim their morals, family values and faith, then sit down when such values are tainted and misrepresented by the very leaders we say we support. Imagine for one minute if President Barack Obama had made similar claims during his administration. The reaction would be quite different.

Inconsistency is at least one reason I hear a growing antagonism toward evangelicals. As a full-time evangelist traveling all over the United States, I find it increasingly obvious that many people legitimately see evangelicals as hypocrites. Why? Because too often, we dismiss or excuse every indiscretion of the president by approving his other accomplishments.

Being fair and equitable does not mean simply applauding what many of us endorse about Trump, including his stance on abortion, his promotion of freedom of religion, his appointment of conservative judges and his aggressive support for Israel. We must also vocally denounce his blatantly egregious actions, including not only Wednesday’s tweets but also his consistently negative interactions and dialogue with people of different races, genders and ethnicities.

As evangelicals, we have taken a hard line on conservative values, but we have also been moving our standards to fit our narrative. If we are going to condone or condemn certain actions, policies or behaviors coming from the current administration, then we had better be ready to do the same with the next president.

Otherwise, we will continue to lose credibility and display a polluted brand of Christianity that is word without deed — completely unlike that of the true Messiah we claim to follow.

Senator Obama's Pastor: God Damn America, U.S. to Blame for 9/11

Even Obama campaign aides concede Rev. Wright's rhetoric is "inflammatory."

By BRIAN ROSS and REHAB EL-BURI

March 13, 2008 -- Sen. Barack Obama's pastor says blacks should not sing "God Bless America" but "God damn America."

The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama's pastor for the last 20 years at the Trinity United Church of Christ on Chicago's south side, has a long history of what even Obama's campaign aides concede is "inflammatory rhetoric," including the assertion that the United States brought on the 9/11 attacks with its own "terrorism."

In a campaign appearance earlier this month, Sen. Obama said, "I don't think my church is actually particularly controversial." He said Rev. Wright "is like an old uncle who says things I don't always agree with," telling a Jewish group that everyone has someone like that in their family.

Rev. Wright married Obama and his wife Michelle, baptized their two daughters and is credited by Obama for the title of his book, "The Audacity of Hope."

An ABC News review of dozens of Rev. Wright's sermons, offered for sale by the church, found repeated denunciations of the U.S. based on what he described as his reading of the Gospels and the treatment of black Americans.

"The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, God damn America, that's in the Bible for killing innocent people," he said in a 2003 sermon. "God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme."

In addition to damning America, he told his congregation on the Sunday after Sept. 11, 2001 that the United States had brought on al Qaeda's attacks because of its own terrorism.

"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and the Pentagon, and we never batted an eye," Rev. Wright said in a sermon on Sept. 16, 2001.

"We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost," he told his congregation.

Sen. Obama told the New York Times he was not at the church on the day of Rev. Wright's 9/11 sermon. "The violence of 9/11 was inexcusable and without justification," Obama said in a recent interview. "It sounds like he was trying to be provocative," Obama told the paper.

Rev. Wright, who announced his retirement last month, has built a large and loyal following at his church with his mesmerizing sermons, mixing traditional spiritual content and his views on contemporary issues.

"I wouldn't call it radical. I call it being black in America," said one congregation member outside the church last Sunday.

"He has impacted the life of Barack Obama so much so that he wants to portray that feeling he got from Rev. Wright onto the country because we all need something positive," said another member of the congregation.

Rev. Wright, who declined to be interviewed by ABC News, is considered one of the country's 10 most influential black pastors, according to members of the Obama campaign.

Obama has praised at least one aspect of Rev. Wright's approach, referring to his "social gospel" and his focus on Africa, "and I agree with him on that."

Sen. Obama declined to comment on Rev. Wright's denunciations of the United States, but a campaign religious adviser, Shaun Casey, appearing on "Good Morning America" Thursday, said Obama "had repudiated" those comments.

In a statement to ABCNews.com, Obama's press spokesman Bill Burton said, "Sen. Obama has said repeatedly that personal attacks such as this have no place in this campaign or our politics, whether they're offered from a platform at a rally or the pulpit of a church. Sen. Obama does not think of the pastor of his church in political terms. Like a member of his family, there are things he says with which Sen. Obama deeply disagrees. But now that he is retired, that doesn't detract from Sen. Obama's affection for Rev. Wright or his appreciation for the good works he has done."

Saying God picked Trump, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan portrays him as both truth-talking hero and racist villain

Nation of Islam leader on Trump: 'God has him here!'

Controversial firebrand Minister Louis Farrakhan Thursday invited journalists to a televised, 135-minute sermon to Donald Trump to clean up America’s injustices, seeming to side with Trump as a fellow tell-it-straight ally who calls out everyone from Pope Francis to the media.

“God has him here!” the Nation of Islam leader said, referring to Trump during the morning event at the Watergate Hotel ballroom, which was filled to capacity with more than 500 people, mostly Nation members and other Farrakhan supporters. “What did you say, Farrakhan? Do you think God is not interested in who is president of the United States of America?! Especially when it’s the time of evil?”

The talk was billed as a news conference because reporters were invited, but no public questions were taken after the address. And it was called a message to Trump. It was laid out as a detailed history of American wrongs, from slavery to war to hypocrisy, delivered to an unexpected and unlikely president whom Farrakhan painted as perhaps best able to address such problems.

“America needs to reflect on her sins! And who is bold enough, strong enough to say to America: ‘You have been wrong for a long, long time and it is time now for you to actually see yourself as God sees you!’ This is a final warning to the government and the people of the United States of America. It’s written in the Bible, and I say this to our president: It is written that every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess.”

The fiery talk focused on injustices against African Americans and Muslims and seemed to single out a longtime favorite target of the religious leader: Jews. Running through his story of America, he said Jews were the ones who stopped African Americans’ initial progress. About 40 minutes into the talk, an assistant brought out a large poster of a Jewish star and an advertisement for a decades-old Nation of Islam-published book subtitled “How Jews Gained Control of the Black American Economy.” The poster stood beside Farrakhan for the rest of the talk.

Farrakhan’s comments about Jews, gays and lesbians and white people prompted the Southern Poverty Law Center, which tracks hate and extremist groups, to label the Nation of Islam a hate group. The Nation was formed in Detroit in the 1930s. Its theology entailed, in part, black superiority over whites. But the 84-year-old Farrakhan has also been held up as a civil rights leader by his followers and supporters.

“For black youth, this puts their struggle in perspective — for them to see they are the victims of circumstances,” said Ishmael Muhammad, national assistant minister to Farrakhan. “They can redirect their anger and turn it into something more constructive.”

But nothing and no one were outside Farrakhan’s critique, with targets from Presidents Kennedy, Clinton, Nixon and both Bushes to his fellow African Americans and Muslims as well.

Thursday’s talk was “a final call to black people that you must change the way you think and the way you act because the time has arrived for you to do better and be better or suffer the chastisement of God,” he said, prompting many calls from the crowd of “Yessir!”

Trump was the stated audience for Farrakhan’s plea, but he was both hero and villain in the story. He portrayed Trump as a warmonger who “tore up the White House” to eliminate any trace of the country’s first black president. “You hate our shadow,” Farrakhan said.

But time and again Farrakhan seemed to offer a fig leaf to Trump, using a Trump-like worldview suggesting hidden enemies and conspiracies keeping the decent American down.

Americans “expected a man to be like the other presidents. You wanted him to be more presidential. He’s so transparent! Like thieves and robbers who dress in suits and tell lies — you wanted him to be like that. You’re angry because he’s your reflection.”

Later he noted Trump got into a spat with the popular Pope Francis, who criticized then-candidate Trump for promising to build a wall with Mexico to keep immigrants out.

“What kind of a man is [Trump?] That he would argue with a man that every other president of the United States would go to Rome and kiss the ring! But not Donald Trump. The pope says, ‘He’s wrong because he’s building walls.’ But what about the pope himself, Farrakhan asked, noting the wall around the Vatican “that walls you off from the poor!”

After alleging the U.S. government was behind the 9/11 attacks, Farrakhan segued to a shared enemy. “When Trump talks about fake news, he knows what he’s talking about! You say you’re the Fourth Estate, I’d say you’re in a hell of a state. You can’t say what you know is true, unless it passes the muster of your bosses.”

While the Nation of Islam is probably the best-known group of African American Muslims in the United States, according to Pew Research, just 3 percent of U.S.-born black Muslims identify with the Nation. About 45 percent of Muslims who are black say they are either Sunni or don’t identify with any particular Islamic denomination.

For evangelicals the question has become: Which is worse as a sin, racism or abortion?

To some, Farrakhan’s core message of fighting for black self-empowerment and equality is worth the conspiracy theories and controversy. The crowd was dotted with local African American figures, including former NAACP leader Benjamin Chavis — one of the organizers of the historic Million Man March in 1995 — prominent D.C. Pastor Willie Wilson and others, including Anthony Shahid, a Nation member and St. Louis activist close to the family of Michael Brown, who was killed by police in Ferguson, Mo.

“A lot of what he said, if Martin Luther King were alive today, that’s where he would be,” Chavis said after the talk. “I think sometimes . . . people get emotional when they hear something controversial. You seize on what is controversial without seeing a challenge to not only have the proper ideology, but the proper theology — in terms of repentance, forgiveness. I think people misunderstand him because they try to see him through a sociological lens, but he’s a theologian.”

African-American pastor Wayne Jackson stood proudly beside the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in his Detroit church, after he had draped Trump in the Jewish prayer shawl known as a tallit, in which Jewish men cloak around them when they pray and completely cover themselves with when they perform the Priestly Blessing.

- Advertisment -

Dislike of the scene was probably a rare point of agreement between observant Jews, who resent the appropriation of their ritual objects and Trump’s supporters on the Alt-Right, who are most likely neither fans of African American pastors nor of tallit-wearing Jews. Surely the Trump team that set up the Detroit visit, and former presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson, and Omarosa Manigualt, the alumna of Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice,” who stood beside him at the Great Faith Ministries in Detroit, Michigan with African-American Pastor and televangelist Wayne Jackson, didn’t anticipate the rather awkward photo opportunity that would result from the visit.

The problems with Trump’s gift and the way it was presented for traditional Jews increase if one pays close attention to Jackson’s remarks, which were partially drowned out under the enthusiastic applause of the crowd.

Youtube

When Jackson handed the Jewish ritual garment which came “straight from Israel” to Trump, Jackson used a verse from the New Testament describing one of Jesus’ miracles to explain why owning the tallit would be such a “blessing” for the candidate and that placing it on him was a way of “anointing” him to protect and comfort him on his travels.

- Advertisment -

“With this prayer shawl, whenever you are flying coast to coast - I know you just got back from Mexico and you are flying from city to city - this is an anointing and the anointing is the power of God. When woman who had the issue of blood said that ‘I only touch the hem of Jesus’ garment and was made whole’ nothing else could help her but the power of God,” said Jackson.

The New Testament verse Jackson cited, involved a miracle that Jesus performed on a woman with a 12-year “bleeding condition” - a continuous menstruation that made her ceremonially unclean. The woman was miraculously healed after touching Jesus’ clothing.

Jackson said to Trump “There are going to be some times in your life where you feel uncertain you are going to feel down, but the anointing is going to be in your heart. I’ve prayed over this shawl and I’ve fasted over it. And I want to just put this on you.”

- Advertisment -

Rabbi Ron Kronish, American-Israeli founder and senior advisor for the Interreligious Coordinating Council in Israel, said he was appalled by the scene. "This is a totally absurd distortion of the meaning of an important Jewish ritual object, which is used by Jews for prayer all over the world. The tallit has no such miraculous meaning in Judaism. On the contrary, it is a symbol of humility before God. I would hope that Mr. Trump would not misappropriate this ritual object for his travels, but with this megalomania almost anything is possible."

Seth Farber, another American-born rabbi in Israel, said his discomfort stemmed less from the desecration of a Jewish ritual object than a wider issue. “As an American I am very concerned when people in power are seen as relying on miracles ... What bothers me more is the evoking of the supernatural - using religion for its miraculous content, not its moral content.”

“When any religion’s holy objects are mobilized for political purposes - that makes me very uncomfortable,” he said.

The pastor’s veneration of the tallit and his excitement that it came from Israel - was a sign that he is part of the philo-Semitic and ardently Zionist stream of evangelical Christianity, that finds meaning in Old Testament Jewish rituals and objects, from blowing shofars to holding Passover seders to prayer shawls.

The popular, yet controversial Texas evangelist Pastor John Hagee has devoted whole sermons to venerating the Jewish “prayer shawl” and sells them in his online store as does televangelist Benny Hinn promising that “with this inspirational prayer shawl, we honor the Messiah’s fulfillment of prophecies and the depth of His love for us as He chose to come to earth and offer Himself on Calvary for our sins. It is patterned after the four-fringed garment that Jews, including Jesus, were required to wear. The fringes are tied in a specific way to symbolize God’s law and God’s name.”

Despite the affection that such churches have for all things Jewish and Israel, the affinity makes many Jews deeply uncomfortable when they feel their religion is being defined in New Testament terms. As writer Michael Shulson wrote in the Washington Post “at its core, philo-Semitism has much in common with anti-Semitism. Both approaches view Jewishness as an abstract monolith, and both endow Jews with particular historical roles — roles, it seems, that are rarely of the Jews’ own choosing.”

Jackson is the spiritual leader of the Great Faith Ministries whose slogan is “Changing Natural Lives into Supernatural Lives” and a televangelist who heads the Impact Network, which bills itself as the only African American Christian television network in the country. Trump’s visit to Jackson’s church was paired with an interview that Jackson conducted with the GOP candidate.

After the presentation of the tallit, Jackson handed Trump two copies of the “Jewish Heritage Study Bible” for him and his wife Melania, telling him that in hard times “you can study the word of God. When things seem like it’s almost impossible, you read Mark 9:23, ‘If one canst believe, all things are possible.’”

In an infomercial the publisher of the Jewish Heritage Study Bible said that it was Jackson who teaches “all of his people all of the Jewish traditions” was the man who inspired him to publish the book, which, in detail “describes the Jewish beliefs regarding the last days and the Messianic age.”

Youtube

Philo-Semitic evangelists are often closely tied to Messianic Judaism, which combines Christian belief in Jesus as the Jewish Messiah with Jewish tradition. Jackson’s Impact Network broadcasts, among other programs, a show called “Discovering the Jewish Jesus” hosted by Messianic Rabbi Kirt Schneider.

Last October, Schneider joined a group of televangelists and visited then-primary contender Trump in his offices and stood in line to deliver him the Priestly Blessing.

Then, with his hand on Trump’s face, fingers spread, Schneider asked God to bless the New York businessman “for the sake of you, your glory, your kingdom, because of your love of Donald Trump.”

YouTube

(EMBED: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk4c2uoOF3o )

Few observers - Jewish or Christian - took the prayer session seriously at the time, dismissing it as a Trump ploy to grab the support of the Christian Republican base away from his primary rivals. But neither did they believe that Trump would be where he is nearly a year later - the Republican presidential nominee, who, according to the latest polls is still within striking distance despite having made nearly every imaginable campaign misstep.

So maybe we shouldn’t discount the power of evangelical miracles so quickly where Donald Trump is concerned - with or without a Jewish prayer shawl.
