Broadcasting live from Israel, Lance Wallnau, a religious right activist and self-described Christian nationalist prophet, had a warning for those persecuting Donald Trump; “the disciplinary hand of God [will] come down upon those people that have been standing in the path of what he wants to do.”
As Rolling Stone’s Tim Dickinson pointed out in September of last year (https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-features/lance-wallnau-doug-mastriano-christian-dominion-1234602214/), that “Wallnau has been dubbed ‘the father of American Dominionism,’ a fundamentalist ideology that Christians are called upon to exert God’s will ‘on Earth as it is in heaven.’ And the 66-year-old strives to empower a cabal of Christians to impose their moral code on the rest of us.”
Dickinson described Wallnau’s public persona, as “part theologian, part motivational speaker, part infomercial pitchman, and part talk-show blowhard, delivering podcast rants with ticks and inflections of the late Rush Limbaugh. “
God’s Killing Season
Right Wing Watch’s Kyle Mantyla reported (https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/lance-wallnau-warns-that-god-will-soon-start-killing-those-who-are-persecuting-trump/) that in a streamed video on his Facebook page, Wallnau, who operates the nonprofit Lance Wallnau Ministries Inc., and several other business ventures, said:
“Why is the devil doing what the devil is doing? Because he’s manifesting because he knows he only has a limited time. Satan’s whole anti-Christ activity is him trying to consolidate control because he knows he’s about to lose everything. So, you have to really reinterpret what’s going on in the news, watching what’s happening with Donald Trump.”
“This is the time for the imprecatory prayers that would be answered, which is going to be, ‘May they fall into the pit that they have dug.' What would that look like? Well, it could be that there’s such an outrageous backlash over the clear political persecution of an innocent political candidate that we’re really becoming like a Venezuela or a Soviet Union where we find a crime to lock up or assassinate our political rivals. The American people won’t put up with it.”
“The elites in Washington, well, they shrug their shoulders. They’re happy that this is happening, but I’ve been listening to prophecies lately about sudden deaths, and it looks to me like there could be some sudden deaths coming in May. In May, you’re going to see some of the disciplinary hand of God come down upon those people that have been standing in the path of what he wants to do.”
Before the 2016 election, Wallnau, (https://lancewallnau.com/) a Trump devotee, wrote a book titled God’s Chaos Candidate: Donald J. Trump And The American Unraveling.After the 2020 election, Wallnau promoted The Big Lie that Trump won the election. According to Mantyla, “Wallnau actively promoted Trump’s false claims about the election, speaking at the rally on the National Mall at which Oathkeepers founder Stewart Rhodes threatened bloody civil war if Trump didn’t stay in power.” Wallnau campaigned for “failed Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano and joined other MAGA figures on the ReAwaken America tour.”
Most interesting, Mantyla notes is Wallnau’s “involvement with the New Apostolic Reformation and [he] promotes Seven Mountains Dominionism, a right-wing theology that teaches that far-right Christians are to ‘do whatever is necessary’ to take control of the seven main ‘mountains’ that shape our culture—education, government, media, business, arts and entertainment, family, and religion—in order to bring every aspect of law and society into alignment with their right-wing ‘biblical worldview.
Dickinson reported that “NAR followers like Wallnau believe that America is specially anointed by God to project Christianity across the globe. And the NAR movement’s followers view foes of their quest as satanic. This is not metaphorical. They hold that the physical world is enveloped by a supernatural dimension, featuring warring angels and demons, and are convinced that demons afflict their enemies on behalf of the devil.”
Dickinson, following the money, found “The confluence of Christ and commerce appears to be making Wallnau a wealthy man. According to public property records, Wallnau lives in a gated community outside Dallas in a home valued at well over $1 million. His for-profit enterprises are opaque. But Lance Wallnau Ministries Inc. files public IRS paperwork. The most recent filing, from 2019, shows that Wallnau and his wife earned more than $450,000 from the ministry — a sum that includes such unusual perks as first-class airfare, medical reimbursements, and a housing allowance.”
