The
national prayer service is an inauguration tradition that dates back to George
Washington, the first U.S. president. Yet, Washington received prayers and
readings of the Bible only from Protestant ministers.
While
a major Protestant cathedral in Washington, the capital city of the largest
Protestant nation in the world, had Islamic leaders officially praying and reading
the Koran to Trump, the largest mosque in Mecca, the Islamic world’s capital, considers a sacrilege, worthy of death, for a
Protestant minister to pray and read from the Bible for Saudi leaders in its
facilities.
Muslim,
Jewish, Sikh, Mormon, Buddhist, Roman Catholic, Baha’i, Hindu and Native
American leaders can enter Christian churches to pray for their salvation, but
they should never be allowed to take the stand to make official prayers and
read from their religious books. Only the Bible should be allowed in a
Christian pulpit.
The
Washington National Cathedral committed against the Lord Jesus Christ a
sacrilege that Mecca would never commit against its false prophet Mohammed.
Mecca
would never accept the religious Babylon the Protestant cathedral in Washington
has accepted.
Had
George Washington envisioned America to become such Babylon? In fact, David
Wilkerson had a vision about America as Babylon, and such is the
reality indeed.
Muslim
religious leaders also spoke at the service.
Executive
Imam Mohamed Magid of the ADAMS Center in Sterling, Virginia led a Muslim call
to prayer. Magid was a leader at the Islamic Society of North America from 2010
to 2014.

Todd
Christopherson, Quorum of the Twelve Apostles Mormon church delivered a prayer
on behalf of the new president.
Donald
Cardinal Wuerl, Catholic archbishop of Washington, D.C. said a prayer for the
nation at the end of the ceremony.
Trump,
a Presbyterian, is not a regular churchgoer. He does not attend weekly services
in New York, but every Christmas he attends a church near his estate in Palm
Beach, Florida. Trump courted evangelical voters during the presidential
campaign and infused his inaugural address with references to God and quoted
from the Bible’s book of Psalms during a call for national unity.
The
106-year-old Washington National Cathedral has served as the spiritual center
for the U.S. presidents, hosting funerals for Presidents Ronald Reagan and
Gerald Ford.
In
2013, Rev. Gary Hall, dean of this cathedral, said that Christians should
embrace religious “marriage equality,” a euphemism for gay “marriage.”
According
to author Scott Lively, the Jewish tradition says that gay
“marriage” was the last sin before the Great Flood.
