might be brushed off as mere fundamentalist nonsense but it is far more than that.
These Christian nationalists contend that the Founding Fathers intended America to be a Christian nation governed by Bible-based laws. Liberals and secularists, they argue, have diverted the nation from that intent, and Christianity—typically, evangelical Christianity—should “once again” determine our laws. Like Christian nationalists, NAR leaders seek to establish evangelical Christian dominance over government.
The NAR has deep roots in Texas, which is home to three of its leading “prophets”: Wallnau, Jacobs, and Corinth minister Chuck Pierce. All three hang their hats in Dallas-Fort Worth. A 2011 Texas Observer story revealed its ties to then-Governor Rick Perry. But it’s recently drawn attention, nationally and in Texas, reflecting its growth in the Christian landscape and the close ties of some NAR leaders to ex-President Donald Trump and other GOP leaders.
Essentially, the NAR is Christian nationalism on steroids. The aim is not just to control U.S. government and culture. It’s to trigger the second coming of Christ and the millennial kingdom of God.
After meeting Trump, one of the leaders received another “unexpected download” from God, directing him to Isaiah 45, which discusses how the Persian king Cyrus, though not a believer in the Jewish God, was anointed by that God to deliver the Jews from exile and restore their temple. This “download” indicated that God was giving Trump “a Cyrus anointing.” The upshot: Trump didn’t need to be personally evangelical, or even morally upstanding, to be God’s agent.

This movement should not be taken lightly - these folks have a long term plan and are slowly implementing it right before our eyes.
