Trump’s Announcement Tops the Five Biblical Prophecies Fulfilled in 2017

Today Eliana Rudee posted this on Breaking Israel News:

“The year 2017 was packed with what many describe as ‘remarkable’ or ‘unprecedented’ events. Donald Trump’s presidential inauguration and his latest announcement that he sees Jerusalem as the eternal capital of the Jewish people are considered by believers to be prophetic signs that the world is coming ever closer to the Messianic era.”

Breaking Israel News looked back at 2017 listing five Biblical prophecies they saw fulfilled during the year. Two of these prophecies come from the book of Isaiah. One of these The  was related to the solar eclipse, signifying “storms and trouble for the ‘King of  the East.'”

Isaiah 53:12 For ye shall go out with ^ajoy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the ^btrees of the field shall clap their hands.

 Rudee explained that the “August’s solar eclipse came precisely at the beginning of the Hebrew month of Elul. Rabbi Yosef Berger, the rabbi of King David’s Tomb on Mount Zion, connected this to a prophecy written in a century-old mystic text of an eclipse occurring precisely at this time that will be followed by storms and trouble for the King of the East, who the rabbi identified as North Korean Dictator Kim Jong-un.”

Isaiah 45:1 Thus saith the Lord to his ^aanointed, to ^bCyrus, whose right hand I have ^cholden, to ^dsubdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the ^etwo leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

Another prophecy centered on Trump’s visit to the Western Wall According to Breaking Israel News,“The world went into a turmoil when US President Donald Trump became the first sitting American president to visit the Kotel (Western Wall), raising the hopes of the Jewish people that a Second Temple reenactment may yet be seen in this generation. President Trump’s unwavering support for Jewish national aspirations linked him to Persian King Cyrus, whose connection to the Messiah is found in the Book of Isaiah. Much like Cyrus, Trump rules the greatest nation of the era and Cyrus, like Trump, was powerful and rich, but secular.”
