Starting in 2015, Jeremiah Johnson (No, not the movie Jeremiah Johnson. The guy in the photo above.) predicted the election and then the re-election of the other guy. In fact, the North Carolina-based minister was among the first evangelicals to support the failed real estate mogul’s presidential bid, and he built a solid social media presence promoting same.
But now, unlike some of his colleagues, Johnson has apologized for incorrectly predicting a Trump win, and he just shut down his ministry. Johnson said in an announcement:
We are choosing to radically obey Jesus over any other voices in this season.
Those voices — particularly people who watched Johnson’s three-part YouTube series called “I Was Wrong” — have not been positive. In fact, Johnson said 90% of the feedback was negative, and that the series lost him money.
Prior to the November election, pro-Trump Johnson shared with his followers that he’d dreamed his candidate had stumbled while running the Boston Marathon, but had been helped across the finish line by two elderly women. That, to Johnson, was a message from God that Trump would prevail.
(Readers of the Book of Revelation will read the previous paragraph and say, “But where are the weird winged animals?”)
Prophesy within Protestant Christianity is not new, and the number of self-described prophets has been rising — especially during the uncertain time of the pandemic. But rather than continue looking for pro-Trump messages from God, Johnson said:
I believe that it is a tremendous mistake to take the next four years to argue and debate and cause division and grow more prideful talking about how we think the election was taken from Donald Trump. I actually believe we need to take the next four years and humble ourselves.
Johnson said he would delete all social media for his ministry, but he has started a new endeavor meant to prepare people for the Second Coming of Jesus. What role Trump will play in that, he didn’t say.
First, thanks to the reverend for the hilarious image of that orange tub of lard being helped across the marathon finish line by a couple of elderly women (although T**** probably would’ve preferred a couple of pole dancers).
b: I watched a few minutes of this guy on YouTube. He talked about the “reformation of the prophetic movement”. What’s that? Making up some new crap for suckers/donors to believe?
In conclusion, when someone says “it’s not about money”, it’s about money.

Where is the deleting social media presence with him having a website? One that brainwashing advocates would be proud to support...
