Donald Trump inaugurated totally new multifaith National Day of Prayer, especially against coronavirus, with his charismatic adviser Paula White prophesying “you will recover all”


Donald Trump inaugurated totally new multifaith National Day of Prayer, especially against coronavirus, with his charismatic adviser Paula White prophesying “you will recover all”

By Julio Severo
President Donald Trump inaugurated a totally new multifaith National Day of Prayer, where Sikh, Muslim, Buddhist, Zoroastrian, Hindu, Jain, Unitarian Universalist, Christian and Jewish leaders made their prayers for those suffering from the coronavirus, the families who had lost loved ones and the healthcare workers leading the battle against the disease.
Even though the National Day of Prayer was created by evangelical Christians, who predominated in such public events for many decades, Trump decided that for 2020 the National Day of Prayer would have a different look, a multifaith look, with many different religions, even non-Christian and anti-Christian religions, praying to their own gods and spirits.
It is the first time in the U.S. history that leaders from different religions hold together the National Day of Prayer, departing from its evangelical origin and predominance.
“On this National Day of Prayer, America is engaged in a fierce battle against a very terrible disease.  Throughout our history, in times of challenge, our people have always called upon the gift of faith, the blessing of belief, the power of prayer, and the eternal glory of God. I ask all Americans to join their voices and their hearts in spiritual union as we ask our Lord in Heaven for strength and solace, for courage and comfort, for hope and healing, for recovery and for renewal,” Trump said during the ceremony on May 7, 2020 in the White House Rose Garden.
“We’re also profoundly grateful to be joined by many faith leaders,” he added.
During the event, Trump allowed evangelicals, Catholics, Hindus, Muslims and other religious leaders to lead their prayers. Pujari Harish Brahmbhatt, invited by Trump, made a Vedic mantra or prayer derived from the traditional Hindu mantra Yajurveda.
Invited by Trump, Ibraheem Raheem, who is an Islamic chaplain in the U.S. army, led an Islamic prayer.
Trump also invited Jews and Catholics to pray.
One of those offering prayers was the charismatic televangelist Paula White, who is Trump’s adviser and serves as the chair of his evangelical advisory board. She is hated by some because she is an advocate of the Prosperity Gospel.
Trump said, “Pastor Paula White, please come up.  Thank you, Paula.”
White said:
What an honor to be here with you, President and First Lady, Vice President, Second Lady.  It’s a beautiful day to lift up our Lord and Savior.  He is a certain God in uncertain times.  And the Bible says, if two or three of us agree as touching anything, it will be done.
Job 22, verse 28 says: If you decree a thing and declare a thing, it will be established.  So, God, we come in agreement with your Word and with your Name — the name of Jesus.
Psalm 40, verse 17 says: You are my help and my deliver.  Do not delay, Oh God.  I declare no more delays to the deliverance of COVID-19.  No more delays to healing and a vaccination.  No more delays to restoration of this great nation, the United States of America.
For Psalm 71:2 says: In your righteousness, deliver us and rescue us, incline your ear and save us.
Psalm 107 says: You deliver us out of the stress and out of destruction.
Your Word will not return void, according to Isaiah chapter 55, verse 11.  So I declare your Word.  I declare divine intervention and supernatural turnaround.  You will restore this land.
According to Psalm 118:25: Save our nation, oh Lord, and send prosperity now.
For Deuteronomy 28:8 says: Command your blessing upon this land.  You said in Deuteronomy 8:9 to bring us into good land without any lack.
For your word declares in Psalm 33:2: Blessed is the nation whose God is Lord.
So I declare you right now to be Lord over this nation, over the United States of America, and we receive your blessing over any plague, over any economic distress.
You will stay the hand of the enemy, according to Second Samuel chapter 21, verse 16: When 70,000 men died by a plague, David cried out as he covered himself in prayer.  And the Lord answered and said, “It is enough.”
Stay now thine hand.  Lord, let that be the cry today, and let that be your answer.  Lord, enough coronavirus, enough to death, enough to fear, enough to poverty.  Stay thine your hand.
We pray over President Trump and First Lady, Vice President and Second Lady, and this administration.  I declare Psalm 89, verse 21: Let your hand establish President Trump, and let your arm strengthen him.  I declare Psalm 98:1 that your right hand and your holy arm will give Him victory.  We declare victory in the name of Jesus.
Isaiah 58:11 says: Guide him continually.  And you said in Psalm 78:72 that you would guide him by the skillfulness of your hand.
You declared in Psalm 43 that send out your light and truth and let him lead his household, his administration, in the name of Jesus.
Now, Lord, we pray for your mercies, for they are new every single day.  And every morning, your mercies are new.  Your steadfast love never ceases.  I declare new mercies for hospital workers, new mercies for doctors and nurses, moms and dads, pastors and clergies, CEOs and employers, for the President and Vice President.
God, your love is steadfast and it endures forever.  So right now, wrap your arms of love around every person who is hurting, every person who is confused, scared, tired, weary sick, lonely.  Let them know your love.  Let them know that you will never leave them and you will never forsake them.
And in conclusion, I declare Isaiah chapter 43, verse 19: I ask the Lord to do a new thing in our nation by giving waters in the wilderness and streams in the desert.
Malachi 4:2 says: Jesus, arise over the nation with healing in your wings.
President, one last word: Like David, who had had victory, after victory, after victory, after victory, would face his biggest battle — it was called Ziklag. And they would take his wives and his children, and the city would be burned down.  And he cried and he wept, and he began to pray out to God.  And God gave him a word.
And through fasting and praying, I believe this is the word for you and for this nation: The Lord spoke to him and said:  Pursue and go after them, and you shall, without fail, recover all.
Sir, the word of the Lord, I believe, for this nation and for this administration is: You will recover all.
Trump thanked televangelist Paula White by saying: “Well, thank you very much, Paula. Incredible, Paula. Thank you.”
It was not correct for Trump to turn the National Day of Prayer, which was created by evangelicals and was a predominantly evangelical event to call upon Jesus Christ, into a multifaith event with non-Christian and anti-Christian religions, to call upon all kinds of gods and demons. But White should not reject the invitation to pray for America and Trump.
The National Day of Prayer, first marked by Democrat President Harry Truman under the inspiration of evangelist Billy Graham in 1952, has become a yearly White House tradition.
Because Trump opened the way, now the National Day of Prayer will not be any more a predominantly evangelical event. It will be a multifaith event. It will be an event to pray to many gods and spirits.
This is religious confusion. It is religious Babylon. In 1985 Rev. David Wilkerson said that America is modern Babylon. It is very hard now to doubt it.
The difference between the old Babylon and the modern Babylon is that in the old Babylon, Nebuchadnezzar, a pagan king, used to gather together different pagan religions because he was not a Christian. In the modern Babylon, why is Trump, who a Protestant president, beginning to gather together pagan religions?
In my 2015 article “Conservative Babylon in ‘Persecuted’: Hybrid Televangelist Framed by Pagan Neocon, and the Free Speech or Patriotic or Equality ‘Gospel’ Replacing the Gospel of Jesus Christ,” I warned about a conservative movie portraying a televangelist with Catholic and evangelical characteristics:
“Persecuted” pleases Catholics and evangelicals by creating a hybrid Catholic-evangelical conservative: a “Billy Graham” with a rosary. Why not a hybrid Catholic-Orthodox-evangelical-Jewish conservative? My worry is that this dangerous trend can lead to a future hybrid Muslim-Christian-Hindu-Buddhist conservative, and all of us know how America is prone to “diversity.”
The hybrid religious future of the National Day of Prayer is here, with Trump’s approval. What kind of benefit and answers prayers and mantras to several gods and spirits are going to bring to the U.S. is something that remains to be seen.

Statue of Liberty, a Pagan-Islamic Curse on America?


Statue of Liberty, a Pagan-Islamic Curse on America?

By Julio Severo
The Statue of Liberty came to be the most powerful symbol representing America and her power to offer freedom and democracy, but behind this symbol, there are other powerful symbols.
The Statue of Liberty was originally conceived as a Muslim woman to stay at the approach to the Suez Canal in Egypt, a lantern in her upraised hand serving as both lighthouse and a symbol of progress.
Original Islamic Statue
But the sculptor, Frederic Auguste Bartholdi of France, was unable to sell the idea to the ruler of Egypt, because in the Islamic world, women are symbols of submission, not progress. So the Islamic Egypt rejected the “Islamic woman of progress.”
Yet, Bartholdi did not give up his idea. He sold it to Americans, by transforming the Muslim woman into a neo-classical sculpture representing the Roman goddess of freedom, Libertas, or Lady Liberty — as she is known today.
So France gave goddess Libertas to America in the celebration of the 100 years of her independence in 1886. It was a gift to unite America to France, and eventually united America also to other realities. It was a birthday gift that changed the very symbol of America. It was the worst gift America has ever received.
Today conservative Americans, especially Christians, complain that America is becoming increasingly pagan and rejecting her Christians roots.
But who accepted paganism was a very Christian America.
In the 1880s, in the exact time when America accepted goddess Libertas, over 90 percent Americans were Protestant. So the most natural symbol to represent America was the Bible, not a pagan sculpture.
How America came to accept a pagan symbol to represent her identity is a mystery. Perhaps, if revivals that came to America in the early 1900s and 1960s had come in the 1880s, America could have rejected the pagan goddess Libertas.
Not only it is modern paganization of America a baffling mystery to conservative Americans, but also her submissive attitude of welcoming millions of Muslim immigrants and “refugees.”
During the Ronald Reagan administration, hundreds of thousand Muslim “refugees” — in detriment of Christian refugees victims of Muslim oppressors — were received in America.
During the George H. W. Bush administration, hundreds of thousand Muslim “refugees” — in detriment of Christian refugees victims of Muslim oppressors — were received in America.
During the Bill Clinton administration, hundreds of thousand Muslim “refugees” — in detriment of Christian refugees victims of Muslim oppressors — were received in America.
During the George W. Bush administration, hundreds of thousand Muslim “refugees” — in detriment of Christian refugees victims of Muslim oppressors — were received in America.
During the Barack Hussein Obama administration, hundreds of thousand Muslim “refugees” — in detriment of Christian refugees victims of Muslim oppressors — were received in America.
Their behavior is shocking. Or America is crazily infatuated with Muslims or some “spirit” is destroying her Christian resistance and driving her to her Christian suicide by Islamic hands.
All these U.S. presidents are, nominally or not, Protestant Christians. By some reason, which is not Christian, they injected hundreds of thousand Muslims in America. Were they submissive to a secret agenda — as secret as the Muslim woman behind Libertas?
All these U.S. presidents are also known to have been submissive to Saudi Arabia, which is the biggest sponsor of Islamic terrorism around the world. The worst Islamic terror attack on America was 9/11, committed by 10 Saudi Muslims. To feign that they were not submissive to Islam, Bush and Obama chastised Iraq and blamed Syria, not Saudi Arabia. And they began the famous speeches “Islam is a religion of peace.” More submissive than this, impossible.
Following this government example, Hollywood has produced “patriotic” movies and TV shows where Muslims are usually portrayed as “innocent victims” of prejudice. “Patriotic” America is portrayed as suffering the malady of anti-Islamic “prejudice.”
What happened to America in 9/11 is what happens to Islamic women: They are bruised and stay submissive. America was seriously “bruised” by Muslim Saudis in 9/11. Even so, she continues her submission to Saudi Arabia.
Muslim women are bruised by their Muslim men, but they stay attached to them. America has been bruised by Islamic groups backed by the Saudis, but she stays attached to Saudi Arabia, which is the capital of Islam.
As result, Islam is increasing in America. Islam ranks as the second most prevalent religion in 20 states, many of which in the Bible Belt, which has been a region where conservative Protestants have traditionally a massive control. The Islamic growth is certain to challenge this control.
America has today several military bases in Saudi Arabia — to protect the Saudi dictatorship. America is in a state of submission to the Saudi Islam — as women are submissive in Islam. When America invades or attacks Muslims nations, it is because these nations are hated by Saudi Arabia. Militarily, America is at the service of Saudi Islamic whims and tantrums.
America accepted a disgrace on herself without knowing. A Roman pagan symbol of an old dead empire involved in the culture of death. Mystery of mysteries: the Roman goddess that is in New York has a hidden female soul submissive to Islam. The Statue of Liberty brings a pagan curse from the defunct Roman Empire. And as a bonus in the pagan curse, there is an Islamic curse.
Symbols are powerful representations.
In the book of Revelation, the Great Babylon is represented by a woman as a highly commercial, capitalist futuristic society. In the 1980s, Rev. David Wilkerson, who compared America to Babylon, said,
Think of the “lady in the harbor”—the Statue of Liberty. Isaiah warned of sudden destruction upon a proud lady. “And thou saidst, I shall be a lady for ever: so that thou didst not lay these things to thy heart, neither didst remember the latter end of it. Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children: but these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments. For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me. Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know” (Isaiah 47:7-11).
All pagan gods are opposed to the true God. With goddess Libertas is not different. And the symbol behind the symbol (a woman submissive to Islam) is opposed to submission to God.
Libertas came to represent the Roman Empire, busy with the culture of death, including infanticide, and a warmongering expansion. Its modern version, Lady Liberty, came to represent the American Empire, busy with over 1 million abortions a year and a warmongering expansion.
In the Roman Empire, Libertas was its symbol. Today, Libertas continues being the symbol of an empire.
The U.S. Libertas, and its occult submissive Muslim female soul, is a symbol fit for a pagan America. It promises freedom while she is herself a slave of her corruptions and depravities.
In fact, when America accepted Libertas as her symbol and identity, her capital Washington DC was already famous for her many brothels. A real Christian government would never accept Libertas. A government with its capital filled of brothels would warmly welcome her.
If women can be symbols of ultimate evil, they can also be symbols of ultimate redemption: In the Bible, the symbol of the Church is the bride, a woman. Only this Woman can fight and defeat the “women” representing ultimate evil forces, including paganism and Islam, which are personified in the most powerful symbol of the American identity: the Statue of Liberty.
Female symbols have powerful meanings in the Bible. Why should not they have powerful meanings in America’s identity and destiny?
While America keeps her pagan symbol as the representation of her national identity, her call is to be submissive to paganism and eventually to Islam, which is already happening as demonstrated through the mysterious crazy passion of the last five U.S. presidents injecting hordes of Muslims into America.
With her torch in her hand, Libertas leads America and the world into submission to paganism and Islam. Only the Church, with the assistance of Jesus and the Bible, can rescue America and the world from this pagan-Islamic idol.

What Will America Gain by Making Sodomy Great?


What Will America Gain by Making Sodomy Great?

America Is Making Sodomy Great. Will Sodomy Make America Great?

By Julio Severo
In America, since her birth, to defend marriage between man and woman was normal. To defend marriage between a man and another man was completely abnormal and abhorrent.
In fact, for thousands of years, this was the universal normalcy for healthy societies. Only sick societies accepted homosexual abnormality, and they did not last long.
Yet, today is different. Hollywood and much of the U.S. system, affronting its Protestant origins, imposes universally the abnormality of homosexuality as a positive example on the whole world. Homosexual abnormality has been widespread in the U.S. society.
Empire State Building honoring sodomy
No nation on the earth has made sodomy greater than America has done. Major U.S. institutions, from Hollywood to the New York Police Department to Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon and other mega-capitalist companies, are engaged in making sodomy great. (Even New York police cars have honored sodomy.)
New York police car honoring sodomy
Can America last long by using her cultural, economic and military hegemony and supremacy to make sodomy great?
If you defend marriage between man and woman in the U.S. Congress, you are labeled abnormal and your pro-family view is treated as abhorrent by the U.S. mainstream media. Washington is abandoning the true marriage and its traditions, including its old Protestant tradition of defense of marriage and family.
Trump Hotel in Chicago honoring sodomy
In contrast, Moscow, which in communist years defended atheism and the destruction of the Russian family, has been fighting to rescue the defense of true marriage and its Christian Orthodox Church.
You can morally be lynched in the U.S. if you protest the abnormality of gay “marriage,” especially in the U.S. Congress. You are not free to treat gay “marriage” as abnormal and criminally sick in the U.S. But you are free to treat natural marriage as abnormal.
US Embassy in India honoring sodomy
In contrast, in Russia if you protest the abnormality of gay “marriage,” especially in the Kremlin, you are not morally lynched; you are praised. You are free to treat gay “marriage” as abnormal and criminally sick in Russia. But you are not free to treat natural marriage as abnormal.
Russia did not invent defense of natural marriage. It is only continuing a long and universal tradition.
One World Trade Center honoring sodomy
America did not invent defense of gay “marriage.” It is only defending what old sick societies were unable to defend for much time. It makes no difference anymore: With Obama and Trump, America makes sodomy great.
Sodom made sodomy great, but sodomy did not make Sodom great.
The Bible says,
“You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.” (Leviticus 18:22 ESV)
“What happened to Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities near them is an example for us of the punishment of eternal fire. The people of these cities suffered the same fate that God’s people and the angels did, because they committed sexual sins and engaged in homosexual activities.” (Jude 1:7 GWV)
Sodomy came from the “sin of Sodom” — homosexuality.
US Consulate in Japan honoring sodomy
America, which had the Bible as her main guiding Book in her early days, knows that Sodom was judged and destroyed by God for the sin of sodomy and as an example to societies wishing to make sodomy great.
How does President Donald Trump expect to make America great when the U.S. society and culture are honoring the sin that destroyed Sodom?
“Make America Gay Again,” a play on Trump’s words “Make America America Again”
America can make sodomy nationally and internationally great, and she is already doing it through Hollywood and the U.S. State Department. But sodomy will never make America great.
If even Russia can have its Christian Orthodox stance against gay “marriage,” why cannot America have its traditional Protestant stance?
America does not need to follow the anti-sodomy Russian example. She can follow the example of George Washington and other great American Christian leaders who despised sodomy as repugnant.
If America wants to be great, she should despise the sin of Sodom as repugnant and follow the Book loved by the early Americans.

Trump Welcomes Official Prayers from Protestant, Muslim, Jewish, Sikh, Mormon, Buddhist, Roman Catholic, Baha’i, Hindu and Native American Leaders at Protestant Cathedral in Washington DC


Trump Welcomes Official Prayers from Protestant, Muslim, Jewish, Sikh, Mormon, Buddhist, Roman Catholic, Baha’i, Hindu and Native American Leaders at Protestant Cathedral in Washington DC

By Julio Severo
President Donald Trump attended the National Prayer Service at the Washington National Cathedral on Saturday with his family and Vice President Mike Pence. 
Interfaith service for Trump at the Washington National Cathedral
Trump arrived at the Protestant cathedral mid-morning. The service included prayers from Protestant, Muslim, Jewish, Sikh, Mormon, Buddhist, Roman Catholic, Baha’i, Hindu and Native American leaders, including readings from the Koran and other sacred books of these religious leaders.
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.
Even so, Islamic leaders can use their mosques and language to promote their ideology under the guise of interfaith dialogue, because they are allowed by the Koran to lie to advance their cause. But Christian leaders cannot use their churches and language to imply that religions save or help, because this is a brazen lie. Only Christ saves.
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.
After a rendition of “How Great Thou Art” Trump led attendees at the cathedral, sitting at the time, in a standing ovation.
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.
Mohamed Magid
Magid was followed by Sajid Tarar of Medina Masjid in Baltimore, Maryland who read a whole chapter of the Koran to Trump and other attendees.
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.
Why has Trump welcome this Babylon of religions, which is typical for popes and the Vatican?
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.
