Zone1 Could President Trump be a fulfillment of Isaiah 45?

[DennisPTate]

I might find the following biblical descriptions attributable to Donald Trump. He could very well be either of these two of the "horses of the Apocalypse": The red horse of war or the pale horse of death. But those are improbable guesses.

I think this biblical verse best describes Vice President Trump and President Netanyahu:

“The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to advice.” – Proverbs 12:15

It seems that a lot of people are thinking that way but the Iranian people are sure glad that President Trump dealt with their terrible and oppressive government.

Making war against bad guys....
and bringing death to evil people can be a good thing.

Trump is evil. Do you apply your sense of logic evenly and across the board? Trump was ready and willing to commit genocide on the entire population of Iran. He couldn't care less about the Iranian citizenry (or the American citizenry, for that matter).

God had to send somebody with some fire in them to get Goliath killed.

Maybe we are in a similar place and maybe a tough guy was needed as President.

The 2007 prophecy by the late charismatic minister Kim Clement predicting that Donald Trump would become a "trumpet" and a praying president has resurfaced, with Trump himself sharing it on social media in early 2026. [1, 2, 3]
Key Aspects of the Prophecy and Connection:

• "Trump Shall Become a Trumpet": In 2007, Clement prophesied that God would raise up Trump to be a "trumpet" (a messenger or announcer) to the nation, rather than a traditional religious leader.
• The "Two-Term" Prophecy: Clement predicted that Trump would be a "praying president" and that he would hold office for two terms.
• "Hot Blood": The prophecy mentioned that while the chosen leader might have "hot blood," he would provide a "wall of protection".
• Resurgence: In March 2026, Donald Trump shared this 20-year-old prophecy on his Truth Social platform.
• "Like David": Some followers in the charismatic movement have likened Trump to a modern-day King David—an imperfect figure chosen by God for a specific purpose. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

The prophecies have become a significant point of discussion among supporters within the evangelical community who see them as a divine endorsement of Trump's political career

 

[HaShev]

An A.I. Response to the question, "who was Cyrus of Isaiah 45?"

Cyrus in Isaiah 45 is Cyrus the Great, the Persian king who reigned from 539 to 530 BC and is uniquely described in the Bible as "the Lord’s anointed" (Isaiah 45:1), a title typically reserved for Israel’s kings. Though a pagan ruler, God declared Cyrus His instrument to deliver Israel from Babylonian captivity, fulfilling prophecy over 150 years before Cyrus’s birth.

God calls Cyrus by name, stating, "I will go before you and make the mountains flat... I will break the gates of bronze and cut the iron bars" (Isaiah 45:2–3), and commissions him to rebuild Jerusalem’s temple and free the exiled Jews. Despite not knowing the Lord personally, Cyrus is called "by name" and given a "title of honor" (Isaiah 45:4), illustrating God’s sovereign control over nations.

Cyrus’s decree, recorded in Ezra 1:1–4, allowed Jews to return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple, fulfilling Jeremiah’s prophecy and marking the beginning of the restoration of Jewish worship. His actions were not driven by religious conversion but by divine purpose, as emphasized in Isaiah: "I am the LORD, and there is no other... I form the light and create darkness" (Isaiah 45:5–7).

Though called the "anointed" (Hebrew: mashiach), Cyrus is not the Messiah in the messianic sense—this title is reserved for the Davidic Savior. Instead, his role was temporary and instrumental, serving as a "shepherd" (Isaiah 44:28) and a foil to highlight the greater redemptive work of the Suffering Servant in later chapters of Isaiah.

Isaiah 45 and book of Ezra along with Dan 10-giving the vision to Cyrus to gather the dispersed and build the temple,
Isaiah 44-45 the Lord (king)and
redeemer(in Hebrew HaSheva) who changes Cyrus the Prince and King of Persia's heart to rebuild the temple and gather the dispersed Jews back to their land then it is regarding Michael, since the name given by Daniel in Dan 10 shows it was Michael "battling the heart of this King"
In Hebrew it says:
in Dan 10:20 where it says in regards to Michael:
*"Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee And now will
*Hashev Lacham Sar Parac"
(HaShev fight the prince of Persia).
So the OP is sort of right in emulation, Ask Trump who changed his heart and influenced him and his staff to seek the peace ( through strength) it takes to return (HaShev) the Mikdash to where it belongs in the Holy city in "the Name".

Yah……It is very interesting and you have always said “ prophecy “ comes in three layers which can repeat or emulate past events not quite the same but similiar if one deserns them… Basically they repeat till we ( mankind) learn our lessons…Trump became the 45 th president and in that term he tried to establish things peaceable by bringing people together using things like the Abraham accords and the establishment of Returning ( Hashev) the US embassy back to Jerusalem exactly 50 years after Jerusalem was recovered in 1967 which was exactly 50 years after the Balfour declaration of1917… Anyone here seeing a pattern yet as the period of jubilee usually runs in 50 year cycles… Meaning for example if a family has lost its land for whatever reason it is RETURNED to said family automatically after 50 years so they will not be forever destitute….Wink Wink… Nudge nudge….He also tried to fix other ills in other ways but he was thwarted in many ways by many peoples and nations and they removed him where he ended up in the wilderness for a set period of time…The guy who replaced him was a placeholder of sorts who kept the status quo of kicking the can down the road fixing nothing and basically wasting another four years.. Say what you will but sleepy Joe was truly a good analogy of his term in office…. He ( TRUMP) then RETURNED as the 47 th president but this time it was different and he no longer tried to work with the ones who Removed him and thwarted his attempts to fix things… This time he came in as a warrior and was combative and fought them all including Iran which not coincidently has been ruled by the Mullahs and their crazies for exactly 47 years… Is this a coincidence… Hardly…I don’t believe in coincidences and since you can’t stop a story or reading a book I find continuing on to Isaiah 47 very very telling…We are in the middle of the story and I look forward to reading the next chapter to see how this is going to turnout… Lotsof misinformation out there by those who still wish to thwart him but I am sure in the end we will RETURN and RESTORE and REDEEM ourselves back to our heritage which in Hebrew means to HASHEV which if any with a discerning eye can HEAR by listening to the song sung by the hebrews at the end of the prince of Egypt that they sing after they have been REDEEMED…

and will the Persian prince they want to be king and stabilizer be that more exact emulation of Cyrus?

if Trump is NOT a "Christian Political Cyrus" then all eight billion of us are in a lot of trouble.

you are correct a political cyrus christian crucifier desert dweller through and through ... as yourself - dptate and all 8 billion of them.

There's no magic to this. Idiots in charge lead to idiotic outcomes.

You must be "religiously impaired".

Aside from human money greed - every war and slaughter traces back to RELIGION. Simply because religion has caused "hatred" against those beholding other believes.
You define yourself as a "religious" person - so why do you support an even "illegal" war by your TACO??
Why would a "true Christian" even support a 3x divorced, humping some x-movie slut, a liar, fraudster, felon and a pedo friend????

You're not a Christian, but a hypocrite hiding behind some religious scriptures.

I have a feeling that Isiah had someone else in mind for a redeeming figure .
But certainly not a liar and a dubious salesman .

Nope....
the Latter day Cyrus type who
might also become to be known as Moshiach ben Ephrayim - Yosef..... but that possible connection is not clear or one that could be dogmatically stated.

You should read Isaiah 45 in the Orthodox Jewish Bible.....
that may help.....

Yeshayah 45​

​

45 Thus saith Hashem to His Moshiach, to Koresh (Cyrus), whose yamin (right hand) I have taken hold of, to subdue Goyim before him; and the loins of melachim I ungird, to open before him the double doors and the she’arim (gates), that they may not continue shut;

2;I will go before thee, and make straight the crooked paths; I will break down the delatot nechoshet, and cut through their barzel (iron) bars;

3;And I will give thee the otzarot choshech, and hidden riches of mistarim (secret places) that thou mayest know that I, Hashem, Who call thee by thy shem (name), am Elohei Yisroel.

4;For the sake of avdi Ya’akov, and Yisroel My Bachir, I have even called thee by thy shem (name); I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known Me.

5;I am Hashem, and there is none other, there is no Elohim besides Me; I equipped thee, though thou hast not known Me;

6;That they may know from the rising of the shemesh, even to the ma’arav (west, setting place of the sun), that there is none apart from Me. I am Hashem, and there is no other [Elohim].

7;I form ohr, and create choshech; I make shalom, and create rah; I Hashem worketh all these things.

8;Cause [the rain] to trickle down, ye Shomayim, from above, and let the blue sky pour down tzedek; let eretz open, and let Yesha (salvation) blossom, and let tzedakah (righteousness) tatzmiach (spring up; Tzemach) together; I Hashem have created it.

9;Woe unto him that quarreleth with his Yotzera potsherd among the potsherds of adamah. Shall the chomer (clay) say to the Yotzer of it, What art Thou making? Or Thy po’al (work) hath no handles?

10;Woe unto him that saith unto his Av, What begettest thou? Or to the isha, What hast thou given birth to?

11;Thus saith Hashem, Kadosh Yisroel, and its Yotzer, Will ye ask Me of otiyyot (things to come, future things) concerning My banim, and will ye command Me regarding the po’al of My hands?

12;I made Eretz, and I created adam upon it; I, even My hands, have stretched out Shomayim, and all their tzeva have I commanded.

13;I have aroused him [Cyrus] in tzedek, and I will make straight all the darkhei of him; he shall rebuild my city, and he shall release of the Golus of Mine, not for price nor reward, saith Hashem Tzva’os.

MOSHIACH BEN YOSEPH​

​

[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]by Yair Davidiy[/FONT]​

[FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif] The Two Messiahs[/FONT]​ <<Our Sacred Sages had a tradition that in the beginning [of the End Times] there would arise a Messiah [i.e. Anointed Saviour] from the house of Joseph who will reign over the Ten Tribes. He will wage wars and all of Israel will be gathered together under his banner. [This will continue] until later on, a descendant of David will appear and he will reign over them.... <<A transformation will take place. The Ten Tribes and the stick of Joseph will draw themselves closer unto the stick of Judah, and this too, will be through the agency of a Prophet and by miracles>>. The Commentary of "Malbim" on Ezekiel 37:15​ [FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]The story of Joseph in the Bible is an historical account of what really did happen to Joseph, the ancestor of people in Britain and America, as well as other areas. The story of Joseph, in addition to being an historical account of what happened to a particular person named Joseph, is also symbolic of what will happen to his descendants. In Rabbinical tradition we have the concept of the “Mashiach ben Yoseph” (Messiah, son of Joseph), who will be a DESCENDANT OF JOSEPH. “Mashiach ben Yoseph” also represents the actions of the descendants of Joseph in the Last Days and the times leading up to these last days. In Jewish tradition there will be two Messiahs: “Mashiach ben Yoseph” (Messiah, son of Joseph), and “Mashiach ben David” (Messiah, son of David).[/FONT]​ [FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif][/FONT] [FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]The Two Messiahs[/FONT]​ [FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif].......[/FONT]

Since the founding of the State of Israel in 1948 the USA has often helped protect the State of Israel from destruction. The USA has not however really helped Israel expand her borders. On the contrary the USA has often forced Israel to give up territories it had liberated and to constrict her borders, but maybe that will change. Maybe the USA and Britain will help Israel expand her borders in the future as the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH is supposed to do. Ingathers the Exiles “Kol HaTor” says [2.40] “His [i.e. Joseph’s] bow abode in strength” (Genesis 49;24). This should be an important principle for us. We have to stand obstinately strong in the holy work of gathering in the exiles which is the task of the first redeemer [i.e. of the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH]. Purifies the Land of Israel “Kol HaTor” says [2.41] “And Joseph was governor over the land” (Genesis 42;6). This means he will overcome all the forces of impurity. This is one of the great tasks of the First Redeemer [of the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH]: to extirpate the spirit of impurity from the country by means of settling the Holy Land. When the Holy Land is not settled [with Israelites] a spirit of impurity settles over it. [When the Holy Land is settled with Israelites the Land becomes pure]. Joshua ben Nun Was a Forerunner “Kol HaTor” says [2.44]

The First Redeemer [MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH] fights against Amalek with total warfare…[he fights against the forces of anti-Semitism]. This was the task of Joshua ben Nun who was [a forerunner and ancestor of] the Messiah Son of Joseph. Aroused by Elijah “Kol HaTor” says [2.71] “Behold I will send you my prophet Elijah…and he will return the hearts of the fathers to their sons” (Malachi 4). One of the tasks of Elijah is to arouse the spirit of the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH. Comment:

[Malachi 4:5] BEHOLD, I WILL SEND YOU ELIJAH THE PROPHET BEFORE THE COMING OF THE GREAT AND DREADFUL DAY OF THE LORD: [Malachi 4:6] AND HE SHALL TURN THE HEART OF THE FATHERS TO THE CHILDREN, AND THE HEART OF THE CHILDREN TO THEIR FATHERS, LEST I COME AND SMITE THE EARTH WITH A CURSE.

We have noted elsewhere that one of the meanings of the verse in Malchi 4: of returning the hearts of the fathers to their sons, and the heart of the children to their fathers” is to make people aware of their Israelite Tribal Identity, to let people who are descended from the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel know who they are and who their tribal forefathers most likely were. This is what Brit-Am is doing. Help brit-Am. If you can help Brit-Am please do so. Causes Non-Israelite Nations to Repent “Kol HaTor” says [2.75] The Messiah Son of Joseph arouses not only Israel but also the Peoples of the World to Repent. Jonah the Prophet had the aspect of MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH in his generation. His task is, “to rebuke many nations” (Isaiah 2). Turns Defeat Into Victory “Kol HaTor” says [2.91] The characteristic of the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH is that out of tribulation he brings salvation. The Heavenly Ladder “Kol HaTor” says [2.97] A ladder on the ground and its head reaching to heaven (Genesis 28). This is an aspect of Joseph as is known. What happened to Jacob happened to Joseph. All of his deeds were an arousal from below with an accompanying assistance from heaven. Joseph was the son of Jacob and Rachel and had the characteristics of both Jacob and Rachel. Ingathers Exiles, Rebuilds Jerusalem, Settles the Wilderness “Kol HaTor” says [2.117] The rulership of Joseph overcomes all impurity.

The task of the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH is to remove the spirit of impurity from the Land through the ingathering of exiles, rebuilding Jerusalem, and the planting of the wilderness. Ransoming Captives “Kol HaTor” says [2.118] “And the ransomed of the LORD shall return and come to Zion” (Isaiah 35;10): The task of ransoming captives belongs to the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH who performs it by ingathering the Exiles…The Major Ingathering of the Exiles cannot be less than 600,000…They will come with rejoicing and happiness. Comment: “Kol HaTor” says The Major Ingathering of Exiles cannot be less than 600,000. 600,000 was taken to be a key number. It is interesting to note that when Israel declared its Independence in 1948 the total Jewish population in the Land at that time was a bit more than 600,000 which was the key number mentioned by “Kol HaTor” about two hundred years beforehand. Reveals Secrets of the Torah “Kol HaTor” says [122] “And Pharoah called Joseph’s name Zaphenat Paneah” [i.e. Uncover of Secrets] (Genesis 41;45). One of the tasks of the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH in each generation is to reveal the secrets of the Torah. Horns of a Unicorn “Kol HaTor” says [131] “His horns are the horns of a unicorn with which he strikes the peoples” (Deuteronomy 33). The main task of the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH is the everlasting war against Amalek. Comment: The horns of a unicorn are linked with the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH. A unicorn is part of the symbol of Britain. Two unicorns appear on the Coat of Arms of Scotland. Many descendants of Joseph from Scotland migrated to North America. The main task of the MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH is the everlasting war against Amalek. “Amalek” represents the forces of Anti-Semitism.

The fact is that Anti-Semites, as well as hating the Jews, are usually also the enemies of the British or the Americans. Even those people who hate Jews among the British and Americans are usually found after examination to hold doctrines and to do things that make them in effect the enemies of Britain and America.
The time has come for us all to understand that we are one people. Our enemies know this and so should we.
Dan Assists “Kol HaTor” says [150] The Prince of Dan will assist MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH. Comment: The prince of Dan represents the people of Dan. The descendants of Dan are to be found today mainly amongst the people of Denmark and amongst descendants of the Irish overseas. We Must Do Our Utmost “Kol HaTor” says [p.453] “We have to do our utmost for the sake of the union of the two Messiahs, MESSIAH SON OF JOSEPH and MESSIAH SON OF DAVID, the stick of Joseph and the stick of Judah [that Ezekiel described as uniting]."

Messiah son of Joseph

Please notice that in the title I used the word "a" as opposed to the word "The?" I am not saying that President Trump is the only latter day "Cyrus" or even the best of the best of the best of the many possible fulfillments of "Cyrus." But.... Trump is extremely significant that is for sure.

Isaiah 9:7
"Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, upon the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and for evermore. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this."

Chapter 1​

1The word of the blessing of Enoch, how he blessed the elect and the righteous, who were to exist in the time of trouble; rejecting all the wicked and ungodly. Enoch, a righteous man, who was (1) with God, answered and spoke, while his eyes were open, and while he saw a holy vision in the heavens. This the angels showed me.

(1) N.B. The italicized words supply a gap in the text.


2From them I heard all things, and understood what I saw; that which will not take place in this generation, but in a generation which is to succeed at a distant period, on account of the elect.


3Upon their account I spoke and conversed with him, who will go forth from his habitation, the Holy and Mighty One, the God of the world:


4Who will hereafter tread upon Mount Sinai; appear with his hosts; and be manifested in the strength of his power from heaven.


5All shall be afraid, and the Watchers be terrified.


6Great fear and trembling shall seize them, even to the ends of the earth. The lofty mountains shall be troubled, and the exalted hills depressed, melting like a honeycomb in the flame. The earth shall be immerged, and all things which are in it perish; while judgment shall come upon all, even upon all the righteous:


7But to them shall he give peace: he shall preserve the elect, and towards them exercise clemency.


8Then shall all belong to God; be happy and blessed; and the splendour of the Godhead shall illuminate them.
....
....

Chapter 12​

1Before all these things Enoch was concealed; nor did any one of the sons of men know where he was concealed, where he had been, and what had happened.


2He was wholly engaged with the holy ones, and with the Watchers in his days.


3I, Enoch, was blessing the great Lord and King of peace.


4And behold the Watchers called me Enoch the scribe.


5Then the Lord said to me: Enoch, scribe of righteousness, go tell the Watchers of heaven, who have deserted the lofty sky, and their holy everlasting station, who have been polluted with women.


6And have done as the sons of men do, by taking to themselves wives, and who have been greatly corrupted on the earth;


7That on the earth they shall never obtain peace and remission of sin. For they shall not rejoice in their offspring; they shall behold the slaughter of their beloved; shall lament for the destruction of their sons; and shall petition for ever; but shall not obtain mercy and peace.

Chapter 13​

1Then Enoch, passing on, said to Azazyel: You shalt not obtain peace. A great sentence is gone forth against you. He shall bind you;


2Neither shall relief, mercy, and supplication be yours, on account of the oppression which you have taught;


3And on account of every act of blasphemy, tyranny, and sin, which you have discovered to the children of men.


4Then departing from him I spoke to them all together;


5And they all became terrified, and trembled;


6Beseeching me to write for them a memorial of supplication, that they might obtain forgiveness; and that I might make the memorial of their prayer ascend up before the God of heaven; because they could not themselves thenceforwards address him, nor raise up their eyes to heaven on account of the disgraceful offence for which they were judged.


7Then I wrote a memorial of their prayer and supplications, for their spirits, for everything which they had done, and for the subject of their entreaty, that they might obtain remission and rest.


8Proceeding on, I continued over the waters of Danbadan, (16) which is on the right to the west of Armon, reading the memorial of their prayer, until I fell asleep.

(16) Danbadan. Dan in Dan (Knibb, p. 94).


9And behold a dream came to me, and visions appeared above me. I fell down and saw a vision of punishment, that I might relate it to the sons of heaven, and reprove them. When I awoke I went to them. All being collected together stood weeping in Oubelseyael, which is situated between Libanos and Seneser, (17) with their faces veiled.

(17) Libanos and Seneser. Lebanon and Senir (near Damascus).


10I related in their presence all the visions which I had seen, and my dream;


11And began to utter these words of righteousness, reproving the Watchers of heaven.
