A group of “prayer warriors” associated with the pro-Trump “prophetic” network POTUS Shield is celebrating the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg as an answer to prayer and a miraculous “move of God” to allow President Donald Trump to name a third Supreme Court justice in his first term. Trump-supporting religious-right supporters have often prayed for God to “remove” Supreme Court justices to give Trump the ability to name justices to the court who would overturn Roe v. Wade.
POTUS Shield founder Frank Amedia, a former Trump campaign adviser, prophesied early in Trump’s presidency that God would give Trump three Supreme Court justices in his first term. Amedia has also been talking for months about a “prophetic” dream he had in which he saw Trump sinking into a swamp until God reached down and with his thumb and forefinger plucked Trump out by the head, flinging him in the air. Amedia predicted this divine intervention would take place in September, and on Sunday, he called Ginsburg’s death “the first breath” of the prophesied “blast” that God has in store. “The blast has just begun,” Amedia exulted.
Amedia is hosting a week’s work of prayer calls leading up to “The Return,” a major religious-right rally scheduled to take place online and on the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, Sept. 26. Organizers of “The Return” have portrayed it as a turning point in bringing spiritual revival to the U.S.—and putting Trump back in the White House.
On Saturday evening’s livestream, Amedia was excited about Ginsburg’s death, saying that prior to news of her death, he had started to worry about the three-justice prophecy God had given him. “How about the Lord?” he asked. “I mean, he just threw a monkey wrench into everything.”
In a message apparently written Saturday and shared with supporters via email and Facebook Sunday, Amedia wrote that Ginsburg’s death was indeed part of the divine intervention he had been predicting. The excited message was headlined, “The awaited prophetic move has begun!!” He declared that Ginsburg’s death was in answer to POTUS Shield’s Friday night prayers that God would hear “the cry of the blood of the 60 million murdered children.” Misspelling Ginsburg’s name, Amedia added, “In less than one hour, the announcement of Ginsberg’s passing came out.”
“Do not lose the significant that God started this HEZEKIAH MIRACLE BLAST with the opening up of the third supreme justice seat ON ROSHA SHANA, the Hebrew NEW YEAR, the day that the Torah is refreshed and reset back to the TIME OF BEGINNINGS!!” Amedia wrote.
On Sunday evening, Amedia called it “very interesting that a Jewish princess was taken home on Rosh Hashanah—or taken somewhere, praise the Lord, I’ll leave that to him.”
A few days earlier, on Sept. 16, day one of Amedia’s week of fasting and prayer, he accused Democratic candidate Joe Biden of having “blasphemed” against God when Biden mocked Trump’s assertion that a miracle would make COVID-19 disappear. Amedia portrayed Ginsburg’s death as God’s vindication and warned that Biden and his supporters should be careful. “I’m not wishing harm on Vice President Joe Biden” or people who walk with him, Amedia said Saturday, “but they better be careful.

“He’s a God of judgment and justice,” Amedia warned. “Everybody needs to be careful and watch what’s going on.”
Mark Gonazles, a Republican political operative and close associate of Amedia’s, has been talking about politics on the nightly calls. Even before Ginsburg’s death, Gonzales celebrated that “we’re literally taking over the court system,” adding that conservatives need to keep the White House and Senate in Republican hands to ensure a Supreme Court that would overturn Roe v. Wade and the marriage-equality ruling in Obergefell. After Ginsburg’s death, Gonzales said, “I’m still trembling right now” because it was clear that God had moved “sovereignly” to ensure the seating of additional anti-choice judges.
Gonzales is working to boost conservative Christian voter turnout in the Senate and presidential battleground states, calling the election a “referendum on the church” and predicting that Republicans will take back House seats lost in 2018. Amedia, who has previously prophesied Trump’s reelection, said that God told him that Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina will win by 5 percentage points and that Republicans will keep the Senate. Gonzales prayed that God would “move supernaturally” and shift 5 percent of voters in key races to flip elections “and align them with your kingdom.”

Elections Are a ‘Spiritual Battle’ and Only ‘Mature’ Christians Are Ideal Candidates, Says Trump Cabinet Bible Study Teacher Ralph Drollinger

Ralph Drollinger , a Bible study teacher who uses his extraordinary access to top government officials in the United States and abroad to push right-wing policies as biblically mandated , distributed a Bible study Monday telling readers that “ it is imperative that committed Christians be praying for an outcome that glorifies our Lord , and that believers will win office.
” “ Don ’ t misinterpret the elections : they are first and foremost a spiritual battle requiring mature , spiritual weaponry , ” Drollinger wrote in a Bible study distributed Monday .
He also repeated his assertion that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ acts on are those of Christians .
In previous writings , Drollinger has demonstrated little respect for Christians who interpret the Bible differently than he does .
He has called the “ social Gospel ” that motivates millions of liberal American Christians “ a perversion of scripture ” and “ not Christianity whatsoever !

” He urges public officials not to take part in “ syncretistic ” events like the National Prayer Breakfast , arguing that by participating @ @ @ @ @ @ @ belief , attendees invite God ’ s wrath rather than his blessing .
Drollinger holds Bible study sessions for members of the House and Senate as well as Trump ’ s Cabinet while his written Bible studies are distributed widely and used by Capitol Ministries leaders active in state and local governments and foreign governments .
Drollinger writes in this week ’ s Bible study that only people who are “ mature in Christ ” can be “ ideal candidates for public office.

rightwingwatch--2020-09-22--Will ‘The Return’ Political Prayer Rally Ensure Trump’s Reelection and Spark a Great Awakening?

A political prayer rally called for by End Times author Jonathan Cahn and backed by an array of religious-right figures will be held online and on the National Mall in Washington D.C. , this Saturday , Sept. 26 in an effort to boost President Donald Trump ’ s reelection prospects and help bring about a Great Awakening .
Organizers claimed in a Monday press release that it will be the “ the largest ever global gathering in this history of Christendom , ” with live broadcast on Christian television networks and a livestreamfeatured in “ tens of thousands ” of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is scheduled to go from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Saturday following a Friday evening session dubbed “ The Return Eve : Next Generation.
” Organizers of the “ The Return : National and Global Day of Prayer and Repentance ” are optimistic that the rally will shape the future .
“ We are on the verge of the greatest move of God in all the ages , ” said Kevin Jessip , who has been working with Cahn to organize the event .
Jessip previously described the event as a “ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he believes a “ wave of salvation ” will sweep across the United States , “ mixed with the fire of God.
” Not coincidentally , Cahn ’ s latest bestselling book , released this month and relentlessly promoted by the pro-Trump media operation Charisma , is called “ The Harbinger II : The Return.
” Last week , Charisma promised that Cahn would “ deliver a prophetic word to America ” at  ” The Return. ” “ Our nation has increasingly deafened its ears to the voice of God .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ have come upon the nation , God is shouting and warning and calling us back .
That is the purpose of ‘ The Return ’ and of the word that will be given , ” Cahn told Charisma .
While Monday ’ s press release said the event ’ s purpose is “ to pray for God ’ s End-Time revival , ” previous releases and comments by event organizers have explicitly connected the event to the Nov. 3 elections in the U.S. and to organizers ’ desire to reelect Trump .
POTUS @ @ @ @ @ @ @ online event promoting “ The Return ” on April 29 , at which he prophesied that “ The Return ” would be “ a pivot point for this election.
” Mark Gonzales , a Republican political operative and fellow POTUS Shield member , tied spiritual revival to the outcome of the Nov. 3 election : “ Revival is not coming through the prayer closet ; revival ’ s coming through the ballot box.
” Amedia and Gonzales claim that Trump was anointed by God and say he will be reelected because he still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ The Return ” organizers have argued that the U.S. can not experience revival and a return to God unless there is genuine national repentance for things like legal abortion and public support for LGBTQ equality .
Cahn has called the need for repentance and revival a “ life and death ” issue for the country , saying that God has given us a short window of time to do so before even greater divine judgment .
Harry Jackson , an anti-LGBTQ activist and POTUS Shield member , is also promoting “ The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ saying , “ We either make this turn all the way fully into the purposes of God or the whirlwind takes us out.
” Event organizers often cite 2 Chronicles 7:14 , a Bible verse that has been ubiquitous at religious-right events in recent years : “ If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves , and pray and seek My face , and turn from their wicked ways , then I will hear from heaven , and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
” Public statements @ @ @ @ @ @ @ repeatedly and inaccurately described the event as taking place 400 years after the launch of the Mayflower and 40 days before the election , the kind of numerology that Cahn uses to argue that events in modern U.S. and global history are following a “ paradigm ” set forth in the Bible , which Cahn says predicts current events down to the exact date .
On the same day that “ The Return ” will be gathering on the National Mall , Trump-supporting evangelist Franklin Graham has called for a “ prayer march @ @ @ @ @ @ @ U.S. Capitol .
The Christian Broadcasting Network said on Saturday that “ believers ” gathering at these “ two huge events ” will be “ praying America be given more time.
” Momentum for “ The Return ” has been building in recent months , with many religious-right leaders and organizations signing up to take part .
Godspeed Magazine devoted an issue to “ The Return , ” including a story featuring HUD Secretary Ben Carson—who called “ The Return ” a “ very timely ” event at a time when the nation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ Judeo-Christian principles or continuing down a ‘ secularist road ’ ” — and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell , who predicted that the event “ is going to mark the beginning of the greatest revival anywhere.
” Among the “ partners ” of “ The Return ” listed in Monday ’ s press release are : Museum of the Bible , National Christian Foundation , National Day of Prayer , Assemblies of God , Billy Graham Evangelistic Association , Bless Every Home , Calvary Chapel , Capitol Hill Prayer Partners , CBN , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Collide , CTN , Daystar Television Network , Engage Media Partners , EpicPay , Every Home for Christ , Family Research Council , Family Talk , Gateway Church , Hispanic Prayer Network , House of David Ministries , Inciite Events , Intercessors for America , Jensine Bard Ministries , John Kilpatrick Ministries , and MyPillow .
Others supporting “ The Return ” include Focus on the Family founder James Dobson , televangelists Pat and Gordon Robertson , Charisma publisher Steve Strang , Daystar Television President Marcus Lamb , the Family Research Council ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Congress and current FRC board chair Michele Bachmann , conservative Hollywood couple Kevin and Sam Sorbo , and preachers and activists Anne Graham Lotz , Mark Gonzales , Harry Jackson , Alveda King , Robert Morris , Carter Conlon , and John Kilpatrick .

Jessip previously described the event as a “sovereign move of God” and said that he believes a “wave of salvation” will sweep across the United States, “mixed with the fire of God.”
Not coincidentally, Cahn’s latest bestselling book, released this month and relentlessly promoted by the pro-Trump media operation Charisma, is called “The Harbinger II: The Return.” Last week,Charisma promised that Cahn would “deliver a prophetic word to America” at ”The Return.”
“Our nation has increasingly deafened its ears to the voice of God. I believe that in the shakings that have come upon the nation, God is shouting and warning and calling us back. That is the purpose of ‘The Return’ and of the word that will be given,” Cahn told Charisma.
While Monday’s press release said the event’s purpose is “to pray for God’s End-Time revival,” previous releases and comments by event organizers have explicitly connected the event to the Nov. 3 elections in the U.S. and to organizers’ desire to reelect Trump.
POTUS Shield’s Frank Amedia hosted an online event promoting “The Return” on April 29, at which he prophesied that “The Return” would be “a pivot point for this election.” Mark Gonzales, a Republican political operative and fellow POTUS Shield member, tied spiritual revival to the outcome of the Nov. 3 election: “Revival is not coming through the prayer closet; revival’s coming through the ballot box.” Amedia and Gonzales claim that Trump was anointed by God and say he will be reelected because he still has more divine assignments to complete.
“The Return” organizers have argued that the U.S. cannot experience revival and a return to God unless there is genuine national repentance for things like legal abortion and public support for LGBTQ equality. Cahn has called the need for repentance and revival a “life and death” issue for the country, saying that God has given us a short window of time to do so before even greater divine judgment.
Harry Jackson, an anti-LGBTQ activist and POTUS Shield member, is also promoting “The Return” with a similar message, saying, “We either make this turn all the way fully into the purposes of God or the whirlwind takes us out.”
Event organizers often cite 2 Chronicles 7:14, a Bible verse that has been ubiquitous at religious-right events in recent years: “If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
Public statements by “The Return” organizers have repeatedly and inaccurately described the event as taking place 400 years after the launch of the Mayflower and 40 days before the election, the kind of numerology that Cahn uses to argue that events in modern U.S. and global history are following a “paradigm” set forth in the Bible, which Cahn says predicts current events down to the exact date.
On the same day that “The Return” will be gathering on the National Mall, Trump-supporting evangelist Franklin Graham has called for a “prayer march” from the Lincoln Memorial to the U.S. Capitol. The Christian Broadcasting Network said on Saturday that “believers” gathering at these “two huge events” will be “praying America be given more time.”
Momentum for “The Return” has been building in recent months, with many religious-right leaders and organizations signing up to take part. Godspeed Magazine devoted an issue to “The Return,” including a story featuring HUD Secretary Ben Carson—who called “The Return” a “very timely” event at a time when the nation is facing a choice between returning to “Judeo-Christian principles or continuing down a ‘secularist road’”— and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell, who predicted that the event “is going to mark the beginning of the greatest revival anywhere.”
Among the “partners” of “The Return” listed in Monday’s press release are:Museum of the Bible, National Christian Foundation, National Day of Prayer, Assemblies of God, Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, Bless Every Home, Calvary Chapel, Capitol Hill Prayer Partners, CBN, Charisma Magazine, Church of God, Collide, CTN, Daystar Television Network, Engage Media Partners, EpicPay, Every Home for Christ, Family Research Council, Family Talk, Gateway Church, Hispanic Prayer Network, House of David Ministries, Inciite Events, Intercessors for America, Jensine Bard Ministries, John Kilpatrick Ministries, and MyPillow.
Others supporting “The Return” include Focus on the Family founder James Dobson, televangelists Pat and Gordon Robertson, Charisma publisher Steve Strang, Daystar Television President Marcus Lamb, the Family Research Council’s Pierre Bynum, former member of Congress and current FRC board chair Michele Bachmann, conservative Hollywood couple Kevin and Sam Sorbo, and preachers and activists Anne Graham Lotz, Mark Gonzales, Harry Jackson, Alveda King, Robert Morris, Carter Conlon, and John Kilpatrick. Gonzales, Jackson, and King are all members of POTUS Shield, a network of Pentecostal leaders devoted to helping Trump bring about the reign of God in America and the world.

rightwingwatch--2020-09-23--At Values Voter Summit 2020, Eric Metaxas Compares Black Lives Matter to Nazis

The annual Values Voter Summit started Tuesday night with speakers uniting in glee at the idea of a Trump-appointed , Republican-confirmed Supreme Court justice who could take down Roe v. Wade .
The religious-right gathering for conservative evangelicals and their political allies , hosted by the anti-LGBTQ Family Research Council , also wasted no time lodging an attack on a group they believe to be antithetical to their particular right-wing Christian worldview : Black Lives Matter .
Invited to argue that point was Eric Metaxas , a white right-wing author and radio host who has argued that white Christians deserve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ States .
Metaxas , sitting in front of a cartoon cutout of “ Donald ” dressed in an American flag toga holding a club with the words “ We The People , ” began by claiming Black Lives Matter does not care about Black lives .
“ BLM is a Marxist group .
They do not care about Black lives , ” Metaxas told Family Research Council president Tony Perkins .
“ Marxists don ’ t have any values , they don ’ t have any transcendent authority to which they answer , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to gain power .
And they have gained tremendous power and gotten a lot of money by saying they care about Black lives and racial justice .
Well , everything that they do , everything that they say on their website is precisely the opposite , they want to undermine the nuclear family .
That is at the very heart of destroying Black communities across America.
” The words Metaxas and other conservative evangelicals find so offensive on the BLM website appear to be these : “ We affirm the lives of Black @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , undocumented folks , folks with records , women , and all Black lives along the gender spectrum.
” The major concern Metaxas seemed to have , however , was that some evangelical Christians have become sympathetic to the Black Lives Matter movement after the killing of George Floyd , a Black man , set off anti-racism protests and conversations around the country .
“ If you really care about Black lives , you would oppose almost everything that Black Lives Matter has said , ” Metaxas continued .
“ But again , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ lives matter–which everyone I know would agree with that–but they have hijacked that idea , they have created a Marxist movement , and they have very brilliantly and cynically co-opted many American evangelicals .
There are many good American Christians who have bought into this idea , who don ’ t understand that if you buy into their language of systemic racism and of white supremacy–once you buy into that language–you ’ re dead.
” Metaxas tried to compare Black Lives Matter protesters to the Nazis , suggesting that those who oppose the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ German Lutheran pastor , theologian , anti-Nazi dissident Dietrich Bonhoeffer .
“ It ’ s just what happened to the German church in the 1930s , ” Metaxas claimed .
“ They thought , ‘ You know , we ’ ll go along with Hitler.
’ They had no idea the death camps were ahead , but they said , ‘ Well , he ’ s saying some things , and we ’ ll sort of allow the Nazi philosophy to infiltrate the church a little bit .
We ’ ll control it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But what Bonhoeffer said is that if you get on a train going in the wrong direction , running along the corridor going in the opposite direction is not going to help very much.
” In case Bonhoeffer ’ s words weren ’ t convincing in this particular setting , Metaxas turned to the contemporary right ’ s favorite civil rights icon , Martin Luther King Jr. , and his “ I Have a Dream Speech.
” “ And anybody who loves God , and who cares about racial harmony in America , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , just like antifa , stands for things that are antithetical to racial harmony , ” Metaxas said .
“ Martin Luther King was a Christian .
He spoke openly about using the Christian faith and Christian values and biblical values and American values .
The promissory note [ from King ’ s “ I Have a Dream ” speech ] notes the founding documents to further what was right , and many Americans could see that and eventually understood that .
And he made progress .
Black Lives Matter and antifa and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t believe in God , they won ’ t say that openly , and they will very happily use churches to further their agenda.
” Metaxas , who was recently videotaped sucker-punching a demonstrator on a bike protesting outside the Republican National Convention event held at the White House , is not alone among religious-right activists in criticizing how demonstrators have chosen to protest anti-Black racism .
Indeed , even Martin Luther King Jr. and the methods by which he protested were considered radical during his time , and he was attacked for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , Metaxas insisted the only way to help “ the urban poor ” is to “ vote for the party that believes in a robust virtuous capitalism.
” “ This is a real existential crisis in America .
This is not just another election , ” Metaxas said , adding that Christians “ have an obligation to stand against BLM and anything smacking of Marxism or socialism.
” The Values Voter Summit often attracts big names in conservative politics , including President Donald Trump since 2015 .
Night one of the Values Voter @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Missouri , who was on Trump ’ s list of potential Supreme Court nominees , Secretary of State Mike Pompeo , and interim Acting Director for USAID John Barsa .
Summit speeches continue online throughout the week in the evenings , capped off with an activist training on Saturday .

Invited to argue that point was Eric Metaxas, a white right-wing author and radio host who has argued that white Christians deserve credit for ending slavery in the United States. Metaxas, sitting in front of a cartoon cutout of “Donald” dressed in an American flag toga holding a club with the words “We The People,” began by claiming Black Lives Matter does not care about Black lives.
“BLM is a Marxist group. They do not care about Black lives,” Metaxas told Family Research Council president Tony Perkins. “Marxists don’t have any values, they don’t have any transcendent authority to which they answer, and they are perfectly willing to lie to gain power. And they have gained tremendous power and gotten a lot of money by saying they care about Black lives and racial justice. Well, everything that they do, everything that they say on their website is precisely the opposite, they want to undermine the nuclear family. That is at the very heart of destroying Black communities across America.”
The words Metaxas and other conservative evangelicals find so offensive on the BLM website appear to be these: “We affirm the lives of Black queer and trans folks, disabled folks, undocumented folks, folks with records, women, and all Black lives along the gender spectrum.”
The major concern Metaxas seemed to have, however, was that some evangelical Christians have become sympathetic to the Black Lives Matter movement after the killing of George Floyd, a Black man, set off anti-racism protests and conversations around the country.

rightwingwatch--2020-09-23--Dominionists Say God Has ‘Anointed’ Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court

A group of dominionist “ prophets ” have decreed that appeals court Judge Amy Coney Barrett has been anointed by God to serve on the Supreme Court and bring about an end to legal abortion in the United States .
On Tuesday , during an online event hosted by former Trump campaign adviser and POTUS Shield founder Frank Amedia , dominionist and anti-abortion activist Lou Engle recounted anti-abortion activist Matt Lockett ’ s prophetic dream in which Lockett said he grabbed Karen Pence by the shoulders and told her , “ Remember the name Amy Coney Barrett !
” Engle @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he had a dream about Barrett on Monday night .

Evangelist Alan Parker was also on Tuesday ’ s call and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s choice ” to replace Ginsburg .
“ Who but God would take her out on Rosh Hashanah ?
” he said .
“ Who but God would throw this chaos into an election , less than 40 days before the election ?

“This is a revolution in the street,” Bachmann said. “It parallels communist takeovers in nation after nation for the last 103 years. This is a communist revolution and take over in our streets, and really Joe Biden is the nonessential candidate. From his party’s perspective, they don’t care who’s at the top of the ticket because what they know is that 100 days after the election, should Joe Biden prevail, they intend to put in, I believe, a Marxist form of government.

Trump’s ‘Prophets’ Say Ginsburg’s Death Just First ‘Blast’ of God’s Wrath, Suggest Biden or Pelosi Could Be Next

A group of dominionist “ prophets ” declared Tuesday evening that the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last Friday was just the beginning of the divine vengeance they say is about to be poured out on those who resist God ’ s plan to use President Donald Trump and his Supreme Court appointments to do away with legal abortion in the United States .
Frank Amedia , a former Trump campaign adviser and founder of the Trump-supporting “ prophetic ” network POTUS Shield , hosted nightly online events over the past week as part of seven days of prayer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Court .
Over the weekend , they celebrated Ginsburg ’ s death as the fulfillment of Amedia ’ s prophecy that God would give Trump three Supreme Court justices in his first term As he did over the weekend , Amedia suggested Tuesday that God took Ginsburg out and that her death was just the beginning .
He said God would make three more major moves to make his power known before the election .
“ Sometimes it ’ s good for someone to check out , ” Amedia said .
“ They @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an angry God is coming for those who oppose him , claiming that “ 60 million voices ” —the number of abortions religious-right groups say have taken place in America since Roe v. Wade—are asking for blood .
He said : I sense that in this specific season that began at Rosh Hashanah , as we ’ re going through these epics , that the Lord ’ s going to be unleashing readily here now , we ’ re gon na see some vengeance of God come out , some anger of God @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t know—some people just may not make it to the end of this election .
That ’ s all I ’ m gon na say .
We ’ re gon na leave it at that .
And we pray for that , and we pray for them .
But this is not a time to mess with God .
God is moving , and he ’ s gon na steamroll some people .
He ’ s moving , and those who want to get in the way of what God wants to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ those 60 million voices thundering out to God , for the blood .
Amedia cited a verse from the biblical book of Isaiah : “ He said , ‘ Behold , I will make you a new sharp threshing instrument—sharp teeth , having teeth that you shall thresh the mountains and beat them small and shall make the hills as chaff.
’ ” Amedia added : Amedia has previously suggested that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was mocking God when he said there would be no miracle to bring the COVID-19 pandemic to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ suggested that Biden was tempting fate when he said at the Democratic convention that “ the soul of the nation is at stake , ” and that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was doing the same when she said recently that congressional Democrats would use “ every arrow in our quiver.

A group of dominionist “prophets” declared Tuesday evening that the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg last Friday was just the beginning of the divine vengeance they say is about to be poured out on those who resist God’s plan to use President Donald Trump and his Supreme Court appointments to do away with legal abortion in the United States.
Frank Amedia, a former Trump campaign adviser and founder of the Trump-supporting “prophetic” network POTUS Shield, hosted nightly online events over the past week as part of seven days of prayer and fasting about the election and Supreme Court. Over the weekend, they celebrated Ginsburg’s death as the fulfillment of Amedia’s prophecy that God would give Trump three Supreme Court justices in his first term
As he did over the weekend, Amedia suggested Tuesday that God took Ginsburg out and that her death was just the beginning. He said God would make three more major moves to make his power known before the election. “Sometimes it’s good for someone to check out,” Amedia said. “They need to go.”
Amedia warned that an angry God is coming for those who oppose him, claiming that “60 million voices”—the number of abortions religious-right groups say have taken place in America since Roe v. Wade—are asking for blood. He said:
I sense that in this specific season that began at Rosh Hashanah, as we’re going through these epics, that the Lord’s going to be unleashing readily here now, we’re gonna see some vengeance of God come out, some anger of God come out, and I don’t know—some people just may not make it to the end of this election. That’s all I’m gonna say. We’re gonna leave it at that. And we pray for that, and we pray for them. But this is not a time to mess with God. God is moving, and he’s gonna steamroll some people. He’s moving, and those who want to get in the way of what God wants to do right now, I can just hear those 60 million voices thundering out to God, for the blood.
Amedia cited a verse from the biblical book of Isaiah: “He said, ‘Behold, I will make you a new sharp threshing instrument—sharp teeth, having teeth that you shall thresh the mountains and beat them small and shall make the hills as chaff.’” Amedia added:
This isn’t a time for mushy-wushy Christianity—you know, ‘Kumbayah, we love everybody.’ But you know, sometimes God takes the hammer out. And I’m telling you, in this epic time that he’s going with right now, you don’t want to get in the way of this move of God. This isn’t a time to touch the anointed of God. … You don’t want to do that. God is gonna steamroll.
Amedia has previously suggested that Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was mocking God when he said there would be no miracle to bring the COVID-19 pandemic to an end. On Tuesday, he suggested that Biden was tempting fate when he said at the Democratic convention that “the soul of the nation is at stake,” and that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was doing the same when she said recently that congressional Democrats would use “every arrow in our quiver.” Amedia said:
Sometimes, if you listen, out of the words of those who are opposing God, you hear the prophetic of God. Two things have been seething in my spirit. One was the cry that came from the left and from Biden, and especially in the Democratic convention, that the soul of the nation is at stake. Bingo. The soul of the nation is at stake. Pelosi, in one of her diatribes in the last two days, she says, ‘We have many arrows in our quiver.’ And I said, ‘Oh my god, you don’t know what you just agreed to.’ Because the Lord said he has put on trajectory a ballistic missile that has multiple warheads. And it’s going to hit its mark.
Amedia repeated his assertion that God told him there would be three more acts of God like the taking of Ginsburg. He said:
When the Lord spoke, and he said there will be three more. And he said that trajectory of that missile has already been set. And the Lord spoke that no one’s going to be able to get it off its trajectory and that it will hit its marks. And just as David hit his mark with the stone and felled the giant, there’s going to be three of them. Interesting enough … and I’m just throwing it out there for speculation.

Jacobs seemed to suggest that some of God’s followers might be the instruments of his wrath: “This is a season where God is going to raise up his dread champions, I mean, those who are fighting for righteousness—you know, the Sons of Thunder—and who will not be silent and who will not be silenced. And so, I think that this is, God is taking a measure of our mettle, a measure of who we really are.”
Jacobs predicted that the coming revival will be “messy”—and would be utter chaos if not for the prayers of intercessors—adding that God’s judgment is coming against liberal states. She portrayed public health restrictions on churches as religious persecution and warned of the “criminalization of Christianity.” Jacobs compared the governors of California and Washington state, who she said are “clamping down more and more and more,” to the biblical Pharaoh who resisted Moses’ demand to free the Israelites until God brought plagues against the Egyptians. “And the Lord said to me, ‘Just like I did with Moses, I’m hardening their heart.’”
Engle, an anti-abortion activist known for organizing large political prayer rallies, has frequently led prayers that God would “remove” Supreme Court justices who support Roe v. Wade, urging Christians not to be squeamish or “humanistic” about praying for God to “sweep away the judges.” On Tuesday, he portrayed the death of Ginsburg as part of God’s plan to bring a reckoning to America for the “shedding of innocent blood” through abortion:
I really believe what has just happened on Rosh Hashanah, the 18th, I believe that God is actually bringing America to a day of reckoning on the shedding of innocent blood. I actually believe that what happened there on the 18th with Ruth Ginsburg, I believe God has shifted the whole conversation from the coronavirus to the courts. I believe we are in a moment.

When George Floyd was killed and the whole nation saw it, I believe the accumulated blood of the nation, now with 60 million babies—if we don’t deal with it, in our course, God is going to deal with it in his course, like the Civil War. I feel we’re in that kind of place, and this election is choose life or death. I feel this in my heart.
Engle has asserted since 2018 that God has anointed Amy Coney Barrett for the Supreme Court. On Tuesday, “from the throne room of God,” he decreed, “Remember the name Amy Coney Barrett!” He also compared Trump to William Wilberforce, a British politician influential in ending the slave trade and slavery in the British empire, decreeing, “President Trump is the William Wilberforce for the ending of the slave trade of abortion.”

Also participating in Tuesday’s event was evangelist Pat Schatzline, who talked about preaching recently at the Marine Corps based Camp Lejeune. “We’re about to see the army of nobodies rise up, the sons and daughters … God said, ‘Tell them that I am in the midst of this, tell them I am redeeming the ground.’”
“I heard the Lord say to me yesterday, ‘I am preparing Haman’s gallows,’” Schatzline said, referring to the Bible story about an evil adviser to the Persian king whose was hung on the gallows he had prepared to kill Jews before his scheme was thwarted by Esther. Schatzline continued, “ I am preparing the Haman gallows right now. And those that have stood in the way and tried to take out my people.’ So, we know that there’s three more shifts coming. But I tell you what you’re going to see right now, the day of the celebrity Christianity is over. God is about to raise up those that no one saw coming.”
He said that in the next 30 days God will be exposing things about politicians who oppose him so that people can no longer support them or the Democratic Party. “Those that don’t shift, they will hang on the political gallows,” Schatzline said. Amedia agreed, noting that he had used the same biblical analogy regarding Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Also joining the call was evangelist Alan Parker, who said God told him, “This is a life or death election.” God is giving America a choice, he said. “Judgment is coming, I confirm that.”

Analysis
During Wednesday night’s session of this year’s online-only Values Voter Summit, Family Research Council President Tony Perkins made it clear that the religious right will use the farcical confirmation hearings for President Donald Trump’s forthcoming Supreme Court nominee—Senate Republicans have already pledged to confirm whoever Trump nominates—to reprise their dishonest and dishonorable strategy of smearing Democratic senators and other opponents of Trump’s nominee as anti-religious.
Opposition to Trump’s eventual nominee will almost certainly focus on the administration’s desire to pack the court with justices who will overturn the Affordable Care Act—stripping millions of Americans of their access to health care in the midst of a pandemic—and reverse precedents that protect women’s right to choose and legal equality for LGBTQ Americans. The right wing knows that the majority of Americans do not share those harmful goals, so they hope to confuse the issue by crying “religious bigotry.”

Michele Bachmann Claims Christians Will ‘Be Punished for What the Bible Says’ If the Equality Act Becomes Law

During her Sept. 18 appearance on pastor Todd Coconato ’ s “ Bombshell ” podcast , right-wing former Rep. Michele Bachmann frantically warned that if Joe Biden is elected president , he will make it a priority to pass the Equality Act and strip Christian conservatives of their rights .
If passed , the Equality Act would expand federal civil rights laws to include protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity .
However , Bachmann warned that not allowing Christians to discriminate on such grounds would amount to unconstitutional discrimination against Christians .
“ Joe @ @ @ @ @ @ @ he would do as president of the United States is to put in place the Equality Act , ” Bachmann said .
“ It ’ s really the Inequality Act , because the Equality Act would add the words ‘ sexual orientation ’ and ‘ gender identity ’ to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and ’ 65 .
And that would completely upend the Civil Rights Act , which was meant to give equality to Blacks in all areas of life in the United States , which was a good thing .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ harms all people because it really is about punishing .
It gives special rights to certain people who practice certain behaviors .
It ’ s about giving rights to feelings , not to immutable physical characteristics.

We will no longer be able to verbally or practice life in the way that we used to practice life because we ’ ll be @ @ @ @ @ @ @ If we speak what the Bible says , we ’ ll be punished .

During her Sept. 18 appearance on pastor Todd Coconato’s “Bombshell” podcast, right-wing former Rep. Michele Bachmann frantically warned that if Joe Biden is elected president, he will make it a priority to pass the Equality Act and strip Christian conservatives of their rights.
If passed, the Equality Act would expand federal civil rights laws to include protections against discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. However, Bachmann warned that not allowing Christians to discriminate on such grounds would amount to unconstitutional discrimination against Christians.
“Joe Biden has said the very first thing he would do as president of the United States is to put in place the Equality Act,” Bachmann said. “It’s really the Inequality Act, because the Equality Act would add the words ‘sexual orientation’ and ‘gender identity’ to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and ’65. And that would completely upend the Civil Rights Act, which was meant to give equality to Blacks in all areas of life in the United States, which was a good thing. This actually, in my perspective, harms all people because it really is about punishing. It gives special rights to certain people who practice certain behaviors. It’s about giving rights to feelings, not to immutable physical characteristics.”
“Even worse,” she added, “we’re all going to lose rights. Those who believe in a biblical standard, we will be punished. We will no longer be able to verbally or practice life in the way that we used to practice life because we’ll be punished for what the Bible says. If we speak what the Bible says, we’ll be punished.”
