His name is Rabbi Isser Zalman Weisberg. He writes and lectures widely on Biblical prophecies and Jewish Eschatology. He lives in Toronto, Canada. He is an author, lecturer and columnist at Chabad.org. He unabashedly proclaims that Donald Trump is anointed as God’s non-Jewish Messiah to serve Israel.
Before I delve further into the rabbi’s blasphemies, I want to remind readers of the encomiums that were heaped upon Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance by the members of the Jewish Tzedek Association in New York last February.
The bottom line is that Zionists worldwide are in absolute euphoria over the prospect of having Trump and Vance in the White House. This means they foresee more Israeli wars and conquests, more death and destruction, more murder and genocide of the Palestinian people, war with Lebanon, war with Iran, war with Syria and the beginning of the fruition of “Greater Israel” under a Trump administration.
Now, hear it from Rabbi Weisberg.
Like the first non-Jewish messiah, Cyrus, who was chosen to assist the Jews in reestablishing themselves in the land of Israel, after the 70-year exile in Babylon, the current non-Jewish messiah was chosen to be of service to the Jewish people and the Jewish messiah.
President Trump’s right ear was grazed in a symbolic gesture of Exodus 21:6, where the Torah states that a servant who wants to remain with his master needs to have his right ear pierced.
Trump was designated as God’s servant and anointed one, just like Cyrus the Great almost 2,400 years ago.
We have clarified in several videos that the absolute deadline for the redemption is by the end of the Jewish year 5,787, which corresponds to October 2, 2027. Thus, the redemption will surely occur during Donald Trump’s tenure.
And I have good reason to believe Donald Trump was chosen to be the one to redeem the sins of Azof through offering his assistance in rebuilding the holy temple on the Temple Mount and establishing the Jewish kingdom over all of mankind in Jerusalem. [Emphasis added]
Perhaps it is no accident that the numeric value [gematria] of Donald Trump in Hebrew is the same as Messiah Son of David: 424.
I invite readers to watch my Prophecy Message entitled The Beast, The Mark And The Number Of His Name from Revelation 13 in which I show whom John was identifying as the “beast” by his gematria: 666. Back to the rabbi:
However, Donald Trump is mistaken if he thinks he was chosen to make America great again. He will no doubt do a lot of good things to strengthen our economy, protect our borders and allow religious freedom to flourish. But America will never become a great country on its own, because Azof’s days are numbered.
The greatness of America does not lie in its own success. America will be great when the messiah comes. And the leader of this country, on behalf of all the good people in this country, will humbly present himself to the Jewish messiah and ask him to accept the United States of America into a new alliance of countries who accept the leadership of the messiah. [Emphasis added]
A new United Nations will replace the current cesspool that goes by that fraudulent name. A real United Nations, united to serve God, led by the messiah and based in Jerusalem. And my feeling is that the United States under President Trump will be the first nation to join.
I urge readers to watch the message I delivered explaining what the rabbi means in the above paragraph. Again, to the rabbi:
The meaning of the MAGA movement needs to be adjusted. America was a great idea, but it was never realized. During the Six-Day War, America sent a spy ship, the USS Liberty, to the Mediterranean to relay vital military information to Israel’s enemies. {That’s a bald-faced lie! Read the true story of the USS Liberty here.} How great was that?
I believe this man was chosen to be the one to represent Western society in greeting the Messiah in Jerusalem, chosen to bow his head in humility to messiah, and to offer America’s complete, unconditional assistance to completely eradicate all of the enemies of the Jews and of God and in the establishment of the eternal kingdom of the messiah.[Emphasis added]
A star shall go forth from Jacob and a staff shall arise in Israel, crushing their enemies and dominating all of mankind. [Emphasis added]
This last paragraph is a loose interpretation of Numbers 24:17, which is a prophecy of Israel’s true Messiah, the Lord Jesus Christ, WHO ALREADY CAME, and Whom the Pharisees, rabbis, elders and rulers of Israel rejected and crucified, which Rabbi Weisberg applies to a counterfeit supposedly yet-to-come messiah.
Give the rabbi credit for speaking forthrightly and without ambiguity.
As you read his words, it should have been obvious to you that rabbis such as Weisberg continue to embrace a deep hatred and rejection of Biblical Israel’s true Messiah, Jesus Christ. With every breath Rabbi Weisberg uses to tout the coming of a new Jewish messiah, he “[crucifies] to [himself] the Son of God afresh, and put[s] him to an open shame.” (Hebrews 6:6)
In other words, the Apostle Paul (who himself was a Jew from the Tribe of Benjamin) says that what Rabbi Weisberg is doing is crucifying Jesus over and over by his blasphemous rejection of Messiah Jesus.
Hear Paul’s exhortation to the Hebrews:
But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building {NOT the tabernacle of Moses or temple of Solomon, but the temple of His own body}; Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us. And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, that by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions that were under the first testament {Mosaic Covenant}, they which are called might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. (Hebrews 9:11, 12, 15) [Emphasis added]
By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified. (Hebrews 10:10, 12, 14) [Emphasis added]
The rabbi is blind to the pit into which he is falling. Paul to the Hebrews again:
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? (Hebrews 10:29)
But the recalcitrant rabbi foresees a world conquered by Zionist Israel. He sees Donald Trump leading the United States in bowing to the State of Israel. He sees America joining Israel in conquering not just the Middle East but the entire world. If any other spiritual or political leader said such things, he would be forever marked as a maniacal would-be world dictator. But a Jewish rabbi can make overt statements such as these with complete impunity.
But the really tragic part of this sordid story is the fact that there are millions of evangelical Christians who share much of the rabbi’s sentiments. They, too, see Zionist Israel as an object of worship. They truly believe that America’s chief purpose of existence is to protect Israel and fight her wars of aggression. I’ve actually had Christian pastors tell me face-to-face that it doesn’t matter what happens to the United States as long as Israel is protected.
Evangelicals have almost totally forgotten that the motto of America’s War for Independence was “We Recognize No Sovereign But God, And No King But Jesus.” They are enthusiastically trading a nation that was built upon the principles of Christianity and God’s Natural Laws (these United States) and are turning it over to the spirit of antichrist.
Christian Zionist propagandists such as John Hagee, John MacArthur, Jack Graham, Robert Jeffress and the vast majority of evangelical pastors, evangelists and radio and television broadcasters constantly promote Zionist Israel as the “Holy Land” and “God’s Chosen People.” They support any and all Israeli wars—no matter how diabolical and genocidal they might be. They rejoice over the prospect of building a third Jewish temple, complete with animal sacrifices.
How can such sacrilege proceed from the mouths of those who profess to be saved by the blood of Christ shed ONCE FOREVER for our sins? How can they renounce the temple of Christ’s body as being insufficient to the point that an Old Covenant temple must again be built and animal sacrifices reinstituted?
MADNESS!
Scofield Zionism has turned the hearts of professing Christians STONE COLD. As long as the Israeli flag flies over the bloodshed it matters not how many people are tortured and killed.
Even the Israeli newspaper Haaretz recently released an investigative report that shows that at least half of the Israelis who were killed in the Hamas attack on October 7 were deliberately killed by the Israel Defense Forces under the code name Operation Hannibal. The report also convincingly reported that there have been over 180,000 Palestinians killed in the war on Gaza, NOT 40,000. And by the time all of the bodies are eventually discovered (some of them will never be found), the total is expected to exceed 250,000—mostly innocent men, women, children and babies.
Yet, overall, America’s evangelical Christians are completely emotionless, unfeeling, uncaring and calloused to it all. Israel’s war in Gaza is killing more than Palestinians; it is killing the conscience of America’s evangelical Christians.
And I can’t close this column without quoting Scott Ritter’s analysis of Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to Congress and the innumerable standing ovations he received from our groveling congressmen and senators.
Well, first of all, we need to set the stage. This isn’t so much the US Congress inviting the Israeli prime minister to speak, but the Israeli prime minister calling in the duties and responsibilities of the Congress that Israel has bought and paid for over the years.
We just had a primary election season in the United States where every single candidate that was backed by the pro-Israeli lobby (AIPAC) won, because of the money that was put on the table.
Israel has bragged about buying the US Congress. And this is the result, where a war criminal—a man who has been accused of genocide, who has arrest warrants being prepared for him by the International Court of Justice, a man who heads a State that has been defined legally as an “apartheid state,” carrying out an illegal and unjust occupation and, again, genocide of the Palestinian people—has demanded an audience to the Congress that he has bought and paid for.
That’s what’s happening here. We must see it in that perspective. This isn’t an honor being given to Netanyahu by the US Congress. This is the US Congress obeying the commands of the man who leads the nation that owns the US Congress.
And they own the White House as well. They own the president; they own both candidates for president.
This is the sad reality of the political situation in the United States today. We don’t act as a sovereign nation; we act basically as an extension of this genocidal entity known as Israel.
Scofield’s false doctrines of prophetic futurism have completely warped the minds and hearts of a majority of evangelical Christians in America and have turned the American government into nothing more than a servile military machine for the atheistic Zionist regime in Israel.
As long as such a condition persists in our churches, neither Donald Trump nor any other political candidate can “make America great again.” In fact, if Trump and the evangelicals supporting him continue in their unholy madness of Israel worship, America will be as doomed as was Jerusalem in 70 AD.
As Jonathan Cook wrote, “Only a Failing US Empire Would be So Blind as to Cheer Netanyahu and His Genocide.”
Brethren, we are there!
