Is the U.S. President the “Trump of God” That Will Lead to Armageddon?

President Donald J Trump (AI-generated)

by Leonard V Johnson

Sadly, there are Protestant military commanders excited that President Donald Trump “started the end of the world.” The following is from an active-duty military non-commissioned officer (NCO) and a Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF) member who had commented under the website’s title, “Unit combat readiness briefing and Armageddon,” March 2, 2026 ──

Subject: Unit combat readiness briefing and Armageddon

… I am a (NCO rank withheld) in our unit. This morning our commander opened up the combat readiness status briefing by urging us to not be “afraid” as to what is happening with our combat operations in Iran right now. He urged us to tell our troops that this was “all part of God’s divine plan,” and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ. He said that “President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth.” He had a big grin on his face when he said all of this which made his message seem even more crazy. Our commander would probably be described as a “Christian First” supporter. He has been this way for a very long time and makes it clear that he desires all of us under him to become just like him as a Christian. But what he did this morning was so toxic and over the line that it shocked many of us in attendance at the op's readiness briefing.

Well … maybe it is “all part of God’s divine plan” ── it’s God’s will be done, after all. As far as “Armageddon,” most Protestants don’t properly understand God’s living word regarding Armageddon. Now, while there will be several unintended consequences because of the Trump/Vance Administration, which will very likely hasten the end of this present evil age, to outright insist or coerce something that isn’t actually true, such as “Trump has been anointed by Jesus to cause Armageddon,” that isn’t Christian at all.

I recall that I gave a Personal From … The Calm Is Over, in which I said ──

“The four years of the Trump Administration [January 20, 2017 – January 20, 2021] were the calm before the storm ── now, events are being seen on the horizon, which is moving fast and increasing its momentum! This nation, as well as the world, is now heading rapidly into the most terrifying destruction the mind of man can conceive!”

And as we witnessed, brethren, during the Biden/Harris Administration, we had to painfully watch America fall far behind on key issues such as defense, security, education, race relations, energy, infrastructure, economy, and the massive influx of illegal and unvetted immigrants. America, however, sadly, made progress in one area: forced national inclusion of LGBTQ+ issues.

The Democrats ── which are not the Democrats of the Kennedy/Johnson Administration (January 20, 1961 – November 22, 1963) ── are, the majority, a Party of Evil.

“If our nation is ever taken over, it will be taken over from within.” (James Madison)

Columnist Mark Lewis, writing on Townhall, wrote ──

Individual treachery is not what is happening in America today. What we’re seeing is an entire ideological movement of hatred, selfishness, and violence. This is not individual; this is ideological. This is what the Left IS, it’s what it believes, it’s what it has done for over 100 years now in various parts of the world, and it has taken over the Democratic Party in the United States. 1

There are leaders, and even religious leaders, within the United States of America who are grieving the “martyrdom” of the evil and vile Ali Khamenei! 2

Also, there are those in the U.S., Iran, and throughout the world who believe that “causing chaos” is but a necessary step for a messiah-leader, known as the Mahdi, who is believed to appear at the End of Times, shortly before Jesus returns (in Islamic belief), to rid the world of evil and injustice. 3

Notice a predominantly Shi’ite view ──

The Koran accords the Macedonian warrior a remarkable role; in order to protect a people, until the last days, from the depredations of the hosts of Gog and Magog (Jai wa Majij) ── representing symbolically the forces of chaos …

One of the tenets of the Ahmadiyyah identifies Christianity with the dajja/, the “deceiver,” that is, with the Antichrist, at the end of time …

… and greatest will be a/-Masih ad-Dajjal, the “false Messiah,” or Antichrist, who will appear shortly before Jesus returns to earth at the end of time. ...

The doctrines of “final days” which refer to two things: the last days before the end of a cycle of manifestations, and the final, or posthumous, states of souls. The last days, as described in Islam, are marked by the figures of Gog and Magog (Jay wa Maju), the Mahdi, the Antichrist (Dayal), and Jesus. … Gog and Magog, representing the forces of chaos, have been kept at bay, for a time, … At the end of time, chaos will break through the wall of Divinely imposed order, and the world will succumb to “outer darkness.”

The reign of the Mahdi will be followed by that of the Antichrist, a/-Masih ad-Dajjal (lit. imposter messiah). …

… the reign of the Mahdi will be finished before the Antichrist (a/-masih ad-dajjal) appears to play his role; and once the Antichrist has led away his followers, Jesus will then come to destroy the Antichrist in the closing moments of the cosmic drama. 4

Some 200-260 million people throughout the world believe that the Mahdi is in a type of “suspended animation,” and that he will rise after a great time of chaos! In fact, back in 2020, Iranian officials called for the Coronavirus to spread globally to bring back their messiah! 5

So, this Protestant military commander appears to have the same type of religious ideology as a Twelver Shi'a regarding President Donald Trump, causing chaos to cause Jesus to come back!

Although we do believe that President Donald Trump was, and is, a Godsend for the United States of America, as well as the world ── the “Trump of God,” he is not! At least not in the way that this world’s Conservative Protestant Christians claim.

Back in 2024, I had written ──

The United States of America is no longer UNITED! And, I’m not just speaking politically. But more so morally and ethically. This nation (as a whole) has been worshiping politics. And, as it was during the Roman Empire, with the emperors insisting that they be worshiped as gods ── many of our … presidential leaders are being “worshiped.” You may very well disagree with me - as is your God-given right - but I saw the faces, the reactions, to Barack Hussein Obama in 2007 - 2008 ── the hysteria, the crying, the overwhelming adoration. Even some called him “Savior.” (Note: “Jamie Foxx Calls Obama 'Our Lord And Savior' At Soul Train Awards, Causes Furor Among Christians (VIDEO)” Retrieved 5 Mar 2026). Oprah Winfrey referred to him as “the One.” And as I saw President Trump walk out onto the stage of the 2024 RNC ── and as proud as I am of Conservative Americans, and overwhelmingly thankful to the LORD God for his safety ── I witnessed several with that same hysteria and adoration ── looking upon him as a “Messiah-like.”

He is far from [being a] “Lord and Savior”! Of course, those who are loudly screaming this are Leftists. Such as NPR [reporting] - (A Video making the rounds online depicts Trump as a Messiah-like figure). I do believe, however, that the hand of the LORD Almighty saved President Donald Trump!! □
