How the rise of Trump aligned with the fall of Baal

It’s a pattern thousands of years old. And it’s playing out in our own time.

In his latest book, messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn identifies “The Paradigm,” a historical pattern that plays out in different eras and in different nations that are falling away from God.

In the book, Cahn sees President Donald Trump as a figure similar to King Jehu of ancient Israel, a somewhat fiery, impulsive and blunt man who nonetheless restored Israel to the worship of the true God.

And in a recent interview with Michael Brown, a WND contributor and the author of “Outlasting The Gay Revolution,” the leader of one of the world’s largest messianic congregations drew more remarkable parallels between the Jewish warrior king and America’s combative commander-in-chief.

“When Jehu enters into the capital city, his agenda is to ‘drain the swamp,'” explained Cahn. “That is the agenda. He’s going to take out the priests of Baal, he’s going to cleanse it, that’s the whole thing, exactly what Donald Trump said he would do.

“And the other thing is that on the way to the throne, Jehu meets a man called Jehonadab … and all the commentaries identify him as saying he represents the religious conservatives of the land. And what happens is that Jehu makes an alliance with the religious conservatives on his way to power,” said Cahn.

“And that’s exactly what Donald Trump did. Without religious conservatives, he would not have won. He would not have been there. And when he gets to the capital city, he gets there with the agenda, he’s going to end Baal worship.”

Cahn pointed out that one of Trump’s first executive orders was to reimplement the Mexico City policies restricting abortion funding abroad, which protects children.

“Well, that’s essentially what Jehu did, taking away state support for Baal worship. [Jehu] even destroys the Temple of Baal.”

The cult of the pagan god Baal was marked by child sacrifice, leading Cahn and others to link it to contemporary practices of abortion. As he noted, the rise of Donald Trump also corresponded to the destruction of an ancient temple of Baal in what is now Syria.

“Kind of eerie, fascinating thing, across the world there actually existed a temple of Baal,” he observed. “It existed for 2,000 years. Well, the paradigm says when the warrior rises, the temple of Baal falls. Well, the very time Trump rose, the summer of 2015, the temple of Baal fell to the ground.”

Such remarkable discoveries are driving sales of “The Paradigm,” which is now the No. 1 bestseller in “Prophecies” at Amazon.com and has near-unanimous five-star reviews.

Michael Brown also proclaimed Cahn’s success with his first bestseller, “The Harbinger,” was a sign God is trying to warn America.

“God’s getting our attention,” said Brown. “You evaluate the book, God’s getting our attention. And now the same thing’s happening with ‘The Paradigm.'”

Explaining how he discovered “the paradigm,” Cahn gave all the credit to God, saying it just “came” to him.

“I didn’t have a doubt it was God and He would send it forth,” he said. “It came very much the same way as ‘The Harbinger’ did. With ‘The Harbinger’ I’m standing at Ground Zero, I see a tree and something says you have to seek this out, and it becomes this puzzle piece that gets bigger and bigger and bigger. Well, with ‘The Paradigm’ I wasn’t seeking, I was going to do a different book. … It just started coming. ‘There’s a parallel here. What’s this?’

“It started getting bigger and bigger and bigger.

“And much of what you actually see in ‘he Paradigm’ that gets down to exact years or exact dates, that didn’t come till the end. And a lot of it came, a lot of it, when I was in my bed … and I got up, and I got on my laptop and I said, ‘Wow, this is all true.’ So it came to me before I knew it was going to be confirmed. Which is very much the way ‘The Harbinger’ came.”

The messianic rabbi said he had “great fear for America.”

“Any nation that goes against God, this is what happens, and this is where we are. We have to note the signs of the times,” he said.

“Paul said these things happened, referring to Israel’s history, as examples for us. It’s not saying that this has to happen at this time or that this other thing has to happen at this time, but that God is the one who weaves everything together. God uses His Word to speak, and God uses what’s in the Bible as examples, and God, in weaving everything together, is able to weave warnings.”

It’s because these things are meant as warnings, Rabbi Cahn said, that it’s so important for Christians to pay attention.

“God has things repeat so we gain insight about where we are, what’s happening, where are we heading,” he concluded.
