He stated that God told him &#8220;you are in Revelation, Chapter 6,\u201d which tells of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Furthermore, God told Bakker that the first horse of the Apocalypse had been released on earth.<\/p>\n<p>While the &#8220;Antichrist spirit&#8221; has been let loose on America, \u201cGod has given us a man who is not afraid to fight. We have a president people think is crazy. They call him crazy, but he\u2019s making peace treaties, he\u2019s doing all the things to try to solve the world\u2019s problems and God has put him on earth\u2014God spoke to me the other night, He said, \u2018I put Donald Trump on earth to give you time, the church, to get ready.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is what He told me,\u201d Bakker claimed. \u201cHe said, \u2018Donald Trump is a respite in this troubled times and I sent him in grace to give you time to prepare for what\u2019s coming on earth.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bakker isn&#8217;t the first person to believe that our current climate is showing signs that the end of the world is coming shortly. There are many other prominent Christians theorizing that problems between the nations, lack of faith, and the like are prophecies straight from the Bible.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think?
