During a recent livestream, Mississippi pro-Trump pastor Shane Vaughn declared the God has placed a prophetic seal on Donald Trump, suggesting that his supporters will be blessed with prosperity as a reward for supporting him.
What is the prophetic seal that Yahweh placed upon Donald Trump and upon his true people? Vaughn said. It is supernatural prosperity and blessings.
Thats the prophetic seal! Vaughn declared. The reign of God, when he touches your life, there will be unparalleled blessings that come into your life that you didnt ask for, you didnt create, youre just anointed for that season, and the evidence of it is in the prosperity of the nation and the people.
Donald Trump carried the prophetic seal of the calling of God he is chosen!

Also, is this not twisting the Bible for a narrative?

Vaughn will no doubt try to use this B.S. as a grift as he fancies himself a prophet.

Before being banned from YouTube, he had live broadcasts, and you could comment on them, and once I pissed him off by calling Numerology math for dummies. As he's a numerologist, he went off on a ten minute tirade on me. I then put up a numerological proof that Trump was the Beast. Banned under that account. The best though was I once joined as JuiceNewtonFan and monopolized the chat talking about Juice Newton for about 15 minutes before I was banned. So I then joined as IHateJuiceNewton and joined asking if anyone had seen Fan then going off on how much I hate Juice Newton.
Anyway, he's a former insurance agent who went to jail for identity theft (of a two-year-old) and fraud. It was fun to watch him in 2020/2021 become more and more unhinged as every reason - he fancies himself a Constitutional scholar - he gave for Trump remaining as president was shot down by reality. I wonder if part of it is just an act - he bragged about how he had just invested $2500 in Trump coins claiming they would be priceless in the future, but I think he's just that unhinged. I don't understand conservative men who claim to put so much emphasis on being independent manly men but then wrap their identity up so much in being lickspittles for others.

Other than 46 chromosomes and breathing oxygen, I cannot think of a single characteristic that historic Jesus and Trump have in common.
