According to Right Wing Watch, messianic rabbi and religious-right activist Jonathan Cahn has a history of misrepresenting both biblical stories and contemporary events so that it seems they were foretold in the bible. Now, he’s using that misleading tactic to convince his followers that the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6. was prophesied.
Speaking at Cornerstone Chapel in Leesburg, Virginia, earlier this month, Cahn claimed that former President Donald Trump is a modern-day version of the biblical figure Jehu, who was tasked by God to become king and to slay the evil queen Jezebel, who Cahn says represents Hillary Clinton. Cahn cites 2 Kings for his claim — a bible verse that he said also foretold the Capitol riot.
“I think it would be a safe assumption that Donald Trump is probably not studying the original Hebrew of scripture, but he has been following a template without knowing of Jehu,” Cahn said. “Jehu was a wild man, impulsive, you never knew what he was going to do or say—if they had tweeting back then, I’m sure he would have been tweeting—you never knew, he was wild.”
“Jehu’s reign was framed by an event in the nation’s capital,” Cahn continued. “He called for an assembly in the capital city. On that day, many of those who supported him laid siege to a building in the capital, a great capital building—it’s actually a national temple. On Jan. 6, President Trump called for an assembly in the capital city.
