Rabbi sees Donald Trump ascendancy in Bible codes

Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson

Forget what the polls and the pundits are saying.

The answer to who will win Tuesday's presidential election is in the Bible, says an Israeli rabbi. Hillary may as well give her concession speech now.

Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson, an international Bible codes expert who has written 30 books, says it's a fait accompli for Donald Trump. He will beat Hillary Clinton on Nov. 8 and go on to become the next president of the United States.

Read Rabbi Glazerson's full bio.

Glazerson sees Trump as a leader in the mold of Cyrus the Great of Persia, who helped free the Jewish people from Babylonian captivity in Old Testament times. They were then able to rebuild the Temple in Jerusalem.

Any international leader who helps the Jewish people is a type of "moshioch" or a messiah figure, he says in a three-minute video posted in late October to YouTube. Not the Messiah but a messiah.

Glazerson says "anybody who helps Israel, to build themselves, to settle properly in their land,” is referred to as a kind of moshiach.

This is the second video the rabbi has made about Trump's appearance in the Bible code.

Watch video of Rabbi Glazerson explaining his discovery:

The first video was published on July 6 in which Glazerson presented a Bible-code table from Deuteronomy. He pointed to the word Donald, spelled in Hebrew letters, next to the word nasi, which is Hebrew for president. He also found an abbreviation for Artzot haBrit, which is the way the United States is referred to in Hebrew.

The date is also found in this table. Glazerson highlights the codes for 8 Cheshvan 5777, the date on the Hebrew calendar that corresponds to Nov. 9, 2016 – the first day Trump would be president-elect of the United States.

Christian author and prophecy expert Carl Gallups, who has been a strong supporter of Trump for president, said he wouldn't put too much stock in rabbi's forecast.

"In years past, I did a massive amount of research into the mechanics, logistics and mathematical probabilities of the Bible codes phenomenon," Gallups told WND in an email. "The topic is an insanely popular topic throughout the world. While I found the study and some of its conclusions to be fascinating, I still do not put any stock in using the Bible codes formulas for predicting future events. I certainly do not think that the Bible was intended to be used as a kind of crystal ball."

Rather than looking for hidden codes in the scriptures, Gallups said he wishes more Christians would get as excited about reading the plainly revealed text of the inspired word of God.

"Of course, I believe God certainly could encode messages in a three-dimensional layering system within the original text. Why should we think that would be something impossible for the Lord?" he said. "It is also possible that those codes could be used in the last days to demonstrate the glory and the depth and the riches of God's Eternal Word."

But he would not base any future prediction on the formula.

"Donald Trump may in fact win the presidential election," said Gallups. "If he does, I will not credit the Bible codes for his win."

However, Gallups believes the rabbi does make a solid biblical point that is demonstrated clearly in the surface text of the scripture.

"That point is that God will honor those who honor Israel. There is no doubt that between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump – Trump will come much closer to respecting and cooperating with Israel in a biblical manner," he said. "And that is something God guarantees in his word that he will honor and bless."

Glazerson started his first video by quoting the Isaiah 45: "Thus saith Hashem to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him, and to loose the loins of kings; to open the doors before him, and that the gates may not be shut."

“The election of Donald Trump is very much dependent on the spiritual level of Israel, of Jews," he says. "Then and only then we will have Moshiach.”

Glazerson found his second group of codes in the Book of Numbers. He opens the video with what he calls “the best meeting” of Donald Trump, spelled in Hebrew, and bocher, which means chosen or elected. In this table he again found codes for nasi (president), Artzot haBrit (United States) and 7 Cheshvan 5777, which corresponds to Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2016.

In another part of the table, he found ohev Yisrael which means one who loves Israel. There are also codes for teshuva (repentance), Moshiach and Hashem Elokecha (The Lord your God), which Rabbi Glazerson said is "a message for Jews."

And Glazerson is not the only mystical rabbi in Israel who sees a big Trump victory in the making.

The head of the Republican Party branch in Israel, Marc Zell, said a leading Jewish mystic told him that the Zohar, Judaism’s primary mystical work, foretold Trump’s victory centuries ago, Israel Today reported.

“Two days ago, a great sage came to me — I don’t want to say his name — with all his entourage from Bnei Brak, just to give me this message for Donald Trump,” Zell told the ultra-Orthodox news outlet Behadrei Haredim.

Zell went on to note that initially religious Jews weren’t sure for whom to vote, "but in the last two weeks a decision has been made among the rabbis of all sorts of streams in the Orthodox public in Israel that Trump is the one who will defend Jerusalem, the Land of Israel and the Jewish people."
