Did you know that Mark Taylor prophesied Donald Trump would become President in the 2012 election? Did you know he prophesied the toppling of the Washington Monument when Trump was elected in 2016? Did you know he teaches that you can cleanse your own sin through prayer? And did you know that if you question him, he claims you are guilty of murder?

These are just some of the many outrageous claims made by Mark Taylor. In this book, we will examine these points and more, demonstrating that Taylor is not only a pagan idolater who practices witchcraft and elevates Donald Trump to a god-like status, but also seeks to be praised and worshiped by his own followers.

The Lord Jesus Christ said:

And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
-Matthew 24:11

The Lord God abhors false prophets (i.e. He hates them with the utmost hatred), and He instructed the Jews that they were to take the matter of false prophecy so seriously, that the Israeli government was to charge, sentence, and execute any prophet that was proven to be false:

But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
-Deuteronomy 18:20-22

When God declared, "thou shalt not be afraid of him," He meant that when they attempt to manipulate you into silence, threatening curses to prevent any criticism, you should fearlessly disregard such intimidation. Faithfulness to God's Word must take priority over the arrogance of a man seeking glory from others through pretense.

presumptuous (n): bold and confident to excess; adventuring without reasonable ground of success; hazarding safety on too slight grounds; rash
(See 'presumptuous', American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster, 1828, retrieved Aug 2, 2022, [webstersdictionary1828.com])

How does one prove that a prophet is false? God provided Israel with strict laws that could result in a man being executed for a crime, and that implies a clear method of gathering evidence suitable for a court of law.

God declared that a false prophet is exposed when their prophecy fails to come to pass. If someone prophesies in the name of the Lord God and the event does not occur, it is a lie. God, who cannot lie, stated that when a self-proclaimed prophet speaks presumptuously, they are spreading lies in His name, a grave offense that carries severe consequences.

In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie,
promised before the world began;
-Titus 1:2

And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent:
for he is not a man, that he should repent.
-1 Samuel 15:29

Yet, the children of Israel did not take God's warning seriously, failing to execute false prophets who boldly spoke lies in His name. Instead, most turned their attention to these deceivers, embraced their corrupt doctrines, and refused to acknowledge their error. Thousands of years later, nothing has changed. Today, countless popular false prophets thrive worldwide, and millions who claim to be "Christians" ignore God's Word to follow deceitful men who pour the honey of sweet words into their ears.

All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again. All things are full of labour; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing. The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
-Ecclesiastes 1:7-9

The Lord God also told the children of Israel that He ALLOWS false prophets to keep preaching their false messages. He does not immediately punish them, as some might believe. A few chapters earlier in Deuteronomy, the Lord tells us that there is a very important reason why He does this:

If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
Deuteronomy 13:1-4

judge (v): to compare facts or ideas, and perceive their agreement or disagreement, and thus to distinguish truth from falsehood; to discern
(See 'judge', American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster, 1828, retrieved Nov 30, 2021, [webstersdictionary1828.com])

To do good, one must evaluate the evidence before reaching conclusions, which is the approach we take in this book. We must examine the doctrines of a man claiming to be a prophet of God, compare his teachings to Scripture, scrutinize the details of his alleged divine predictions, and determine whether he is genuine or a deceiver. Once sufficient evidence establishes him to be a false prophet, the Lord God gives us liberty to choose whom we will serve.
(Read "Unbiblical Cop-Outs: 'Don't Judge Me!'" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.
-Joshua 24:15

I first heard the name "Mark Taylor" when I received an email from him in April of 2016. Here is the letter he sent: (Click Image for Larger View)
"Hey Christopher, I am called to be a seer prophet and the Lord has been showing me that the 501c3 is a demonic document. I have not been able to get any info on it until I found your website. God has given me a message on this among other things. 501c3 is part of that message. I wrote a prophecy back in 2011 about trump being the next president, I was interviewed by trunews.com on Friday and it should be out by the end of the week. They have asked me to come back the first week of may [sic] and this is part of the message that I was going to touch on. I wanting to ask some questions about this, so I would have more understanding about it. Can I get your permission to send people to your website? And stand strong my friend, thank you for what you do for the kingdom of God! The truth will not be silenced in these end times, God is exposing everything write [sic] now. Blessings mark [sic]"
-Mark Taylor, Letter to Christopher Johnson, Creation Liberty Evangelism, Apr 13, 2016

At this point, I knew nothing about Mark Taylor, and furthermore, I did not know anything about Donald Trump because I spent several years stayed avoiding mainstream media. Therefore, I simply ignored most of Taylor's message (despite the fact that, based on his wording, there were a lot of warnings in my mind that he was a part of a new-age church-ianity cult), and I simply responded to him that the Lord God gave me the gifts of His wisdom and understanding freely, so I give out all my teachings freely to those who want them, which means that anyone is welcome to share my materials freely, so long as they do not try to resell them for financial gain.

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead,
cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
-Matthew 10:8

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
-James 1:5

Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom,
and instruction, and understanding.
-Proverbs 23:23

Taylor cordially thanked me and called me a "brother," a term I do not so quickly use with just anyone who casually claims to be a Christian, and his reckless familiarity raised another red flag. Over the years, many have written to me, addressing me as a "brother" in Christ without knowing much of my preaching or writing—assuming I am a Christian without verifying that we believe the same doctrines, most especially on the Gospel of Salvation. Yet, days or weeks later, they often denounce me as an agent of the devil when I rebuke a worldly doctrine they cherish or expose a false preacher they admire.

Churchgoers often hastily label others as "brother" or "sister" without first examining their beliefs because many lack understanding of false converts, a topic Jesus frequently addressed in His preaching. If Taylor acknowledges false converts at all, he likely considers them only those who oppose his corrupt, ecumenical worldview—specifically, anyone like me who challenges his false doctrines and exposes his erroneous prophecies.
(Read "Jesus Said There Are Many False Converts" & "Titles Are Unbiblical in the Church" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather reprove them.
-Ephesians 5:11

It turns out that in his 2017 book (which we will explore in greater detail in later chapters), Taylor quoted from my article on 501(c)(3) incorporation status, which I later expanded into a full-length book:
"All we need to do for any further confirmation of where we and the Church have placed ourselves is to take a look at the list of who our fiscally neighboring corporations are under the 501(c)(3). See this excerpt from an article by Creation Liberty Evangelism Online..."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 68, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW]

The problem of 501(c)(3) church buildings is widespread, and my stance is detailed in my book, 501c3: The Devil's Church, available free at creationliberty.com (you can also listen to my audio teaching series by clicking the green audio button at the top of the page under the title). Mark Taylor once referenced my work on this topic in his 2017 book, though I doubt he thoroughly read or grasped it. Many churchgoers who recognize some 501(c)(3) corruptions mistakenly think removing corporate status solves the root problem and naively assume that attending a non-501(c)(3) church building somehow shields them from corruption—a serious error, as many corrupt church institutions exist outside 501(c)(3) incorporation, and I urge readers to study my book in its entirety for a better understanding of these issues.

Taylor also mentioned to me that he was a "seer prophet" and made a prophecy about Donald Trump in 2011, specifically predicting Trump's presidency, and a year after he emailed me, he published a book about it called The Trump Prophecies, which we will soon analyze. At the time, I simply ignored Taylor because, even if it were true, such a prophecy would be completely useless because the purpose of prophecy in Scripture is correction and instruction, to warn people about punishments due to their impenitence (i.e. their lack of humility and godly sorrow of their sins), and with that, God gives conditional promises to help them, only IF they will humble themselves and turn from their wicked ways, which FIRST REQUIRES REBUKE of their sin.

And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
-2 Chronicles 7:12-14

As you read through this book, you will see that Mark Taylor does NOT prophecy in this manner (despite the fact that he occasionally quotes these verses), which is another piece of evidence against him. Even though this book is focused on Taylor, it is important to note that nearly all other so-called "prophets" in mainstream church-ianity also do not prophecy in the manner that God spoke through His prophets in Scripture.

In another edition of my False Prophet Profiles series, I exposed Kim Clement, showing that, like most false prophets, he delivered only cheerful, feel-good messages to satisfy the itching ears of his followers. In this book, we will not only unmask Mark Taylor as a fraud who practices a form of witchcraft known as 'divination' while hypocritically claiming to be a "prophet of God," but also reveal deception in his new-age, pseudo-Christian cult, the New Apostolic Reformation, which thrives on the same superficial, feel-good messages peddled by other false prophets to boost their popularity and personal wealth.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
-2 Timothy 4:3-4

As is the case with many modern-day "prophets," Mark Taylor has threatened those who question him, telling his audience that they risk their lives if they dare to speak a word against him:
"I tell these keyboard commandos that before you hit that enter button and you attack someone, you had better make darn sure they're not God's anointed... People don't understand the implications of that. You are literally taking your life into your own hands right now because judgment is here. It's not coming, it's here on the earth right now and God's not putting up with it. So before you go calling someone false, you have better make sure you got your facts and your ducks in a row."
-Mark Taylor, "RWW News: Mark Taylor Says Those Who Call Him a 'False Prophet' Are Literally Risking Their Lives," June 17, 2019, retrieved Oct 20, 2022, [https://youtu.be/nJs8ItJXqXA?t=58]

It is hypocritical of Taylor to call others "keyboard commandos," or "keyboard warriors." I openly challenge Mark Taylor to come debate me live on my show, but instead, he blocks me and hides like a coward—showing he is the very sniveling weasel he critiques.

This is standard operating procedure for false prophets, and it is how they keep people from examining their lies and exposing their fraud. They think if they threaten everyone with curses from God, they will be safe from criticism, but what they do not account for is the true servants of God, who do not fear men, and trust the Lord God to protect and guide them as they preach the truth.

The fear of man bringeth a snare:
but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
-Proverbs 29:25

Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
-Jeremiah 14:15

If God is "not putting up with it," as Mark Taylor asserted, then why did God allow me to finish this book without striking me dead, or incapacitate beforehand? Why did God not blind my understanding so I would not be able write this paragraph? I am not the only person who has critiqued Taylor's words, so how have other authors, journalists, and preachers produced exposés on him without any punishment?

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
-Romans 16:17-18

The answer, as you are about to find out, is that Mark Taylor is a false prophet. Now let's line up all those ducks Taylor mentioned, and learn why Christians should avoid him unless he comes to repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow) of his sins, namely, his lies and hypocrisy, and seeks the Lord Jesus Christ of Scripture.
 


Mark Taylor is a retired firefighter who now claims to be a "prophet of God." According to his testimony, his family lineage consists of many men who were pastors and/or firefighters.

Taylor has suffered a lot of pain over the years due to thyroid hormone imbalances (often a side effect of poor diet), which caused joint pain and other symptoms—especially combined with the physical demands of carrying firefighting equipment. He began seeing physician Don Colbert to address this painful problem.

I generally avoid discussing a man's personal medical issues, but Taylor openly shares this information in his book, so I will address it to highlight his connection to Don and Mary Colbert, since their relationship was a primary factor in launching his fame. It was during medical treatments with the Colberts that Taylor claimed to receive a "vision" concerning Donald Trump's election.

In his testimony, Taylor claimed he was wasting away with his illness (most likely self-induced through poor diet), consuming a lot of mainstream media (specifically FOX News), and waiting to die. Taylor believes that during this time he experienced divine intervention that gave him special revelation:
"But then it happened. The moment that altered the course of my life. That moment—in 2011, sitting in front of my television in my cream-colored living room—that everything changed...[sic] In the unlikeliest of ways and from the unlikeliest angle. I saw Donald Trump's face come on the air... like an invisible sergeant within the Army of the Lord calling me to attention."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 4, ISBN: 9780998142678

Taylor goes on to say that he believed the words of Donald Trump were "harmonizing" with the Holy Spirit, but he never explained what that meant. The only way Trump could have been in "harmony" with the Holy Spirit was if he was quoting Scripture—which he does not do because he does not understand the Bible. This is an example of the mystic mumbo-jumbo Taylor learned from his New Apostolic cult, which we will examine further in chapter four.

He also wrote of his belief that the Trump interview on TV that day was the trigger for God to give him the "energy" to stand up out of his bed, but Taylor makes no mention that he was otherwise unable to stand from his bed, with the exception of toilet use, which caused him immense pain. This is a crafty way of implying a "miracle healing" tied to his divine revelation, which is deceptive to say the least.

Before diving deeper into Taylor's book testimony, I want to highlight his omission of key details he shares in public interviews. For instance, his book failed to mention his first alleged "prophetic vision" occurred in 2006, when he claimed to "speak in tongues" in the middle of the night:
"[@3:15] All the sudden, I was caught up in my bedroom. I set myself on my knees. I was speaking in tongues and writing on the floor in cursive."
-Mark Taylor, "Full Interview: Trump Prophecy with Prophet Mark Taylor on COVID and 2020 Election," The Joe Padula Show, Dec 20, 2020, retrieved Oct 28, 2022, [https://rumble.com/vc1p9p-full-interview-trump-prophecy-with-prophet-mark-taylor-on-covid-and-2020-el.html]

This should be a major warning sign for Christians because—for those of us who have studied the matter out thoroughly—we know the modern-day version of "speaking in tongues" is nothing more than baby gibberish, or some might more accurately call it Satanic gibberish. In the Bible, Christian men who spoke in tongues were speaking in other known languages that some (who understood that language) could interpret for others, but in the new-age movements (e.g. Pentecostals, Charismatics, Apostolics, etc), they believe that babbling nonsense (and interpreting that nonsense into a happy-go-lucky, feel-good message) is the equivalent of "speaking in tongues," and they scam people into believing it is some sort of secret "divine" or "angelic" language.
(Read "Speaking in Tongues vs Charismatic Gibberish" at creationliberty.com for details.)

We can already see that Taylor is deceiving his audience in more ways than one. Getting back to his book testimony, Taylor continued:
"An epiphany of truth with the most evident clarity rooted me to the floor as I heard the Lord speak...[sic] 'You are hearing the voice of a president'."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 5, ISBN: 9780998142678

Taylor believes that he hears the voice of God speak to him, but when we analyze how he interprets that which he hears, it raises suspicion, and leaves us with many questions. For example, in his book, he talks about his alleged experience of feeling hands on his back and hearing the words "Shakina Kami" spoken to him:
"I took this information to my interpreter friend; he told me they were names, and then gave me a resource to look up their meaning. 'Shakina' as a name is African in origin, and it translates 'Beautiful One.' 'Kami' is an Indian name, and it translates 'Whose Desires Are Fulfilled.' Additionally, both of these names, once traced back to some of their etymological roots, point to some renderings in Hebrew and Japanese that ring true to my spirit to this day. Shechinah in Hebrew means 'settling' or 'dwelling,' and it was most commonly used in reference to the dwelling of the divine presence of the Lord in one's home or life. 'Kami' is Japanese for 'God' or 'Lord'... It is also a derivative of the Japanese compound word 'kami-kaze,' the 'divine wind of God' or the 'divine wind'... In the simple 'Shakina Kami' sound the Holy Spirit uttered was the following: 'Beautiful One Whose Desires Are Fulfilled, and in Whose Life the Lord Dwells with the Divine Wind of Providence.'"
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 40-41, ISBN: 9780998142678

Please note that when Taylor says "interpreter friend," this refers to someone else involved in the pagan mysticism of "dream interpretations," which the New Apostolic Reformation is infamous for. We will examine their beliefs more thoroughly in chapter four. They believe a person can attend a school to "learn how" to be a prophet and/or dream interpreter, which is no different than someone going to a witchcraft school to become a psychic or medium because only pagans believe that they can educate themselves in "prophetic technique."

Taylor also mentioned that he saw butterflies, and that this was a special sign:
"Butterflies were fluttering all about the room, which I discovered later was a sign of transformation."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 40, ISBN: 9780998142678

Of course, those of us Christians who have spent many years studying the doctrines of Scripture know that the Bible does not teach that butterflies are a "sign of transformation." After you finish reading this book, you will understand that Taylor is notorious for saying that something is a "sign" or "symbol," but not explaining where he learned it, and it is no accident that he keeps that information secret.

There is a religious institution that teaches butterflies to be a sign of spiritual transformation, and that religion is called Wicca, which is a pagan religion made up of witches, as the following Wiccan author points out:
"The butterfly is one of nature's most perfect examples of change, transformation, and growth. Because of this, it has long been the subject of magical folklore and legend in a variety of societies and cultures."
-Patti Wigington, "The History of Butterfly Magic and Folklore," Learn Religions, Feb 9, 2019, retrieved Oct 28, 2022, [https://www.learnreligions.com/butterfly-magic-and-folklore-2561631]; Wigington is a pagan author, educator, and licensed Wiccan clergy.

Another Wiccan author writes:
"The metamorphosis of the butterflies is symbolic of the rebirth. Thus, what do butterflies mean spiritually carries a very important meaning in our lives... Since a butterfly goes through many transitions in its life cycle, they are considered as agents that represent the unavoidable transformation in the lives of the people. Butterflies provide us the inspiration that we can let go of our outdated old selves and embrace the change."
-Julian Gonzalez, "What Do Butterflies Mean Spiritually," Spirit Restoration, Apr 2, 2022, retrieved Oct 28, 2022, [https://www.spiritrestoration.org/signs-symbols/butterflies-meaning/]

Does Mark Taylor study pagan religious superstitions and the doctrines of witches to interpret his allegedly "divine" visions? Yes, he does, and we will see a lot more evidence of that in chapter three.

After reading this testimony from his book, I was surprised that Mark Taylor had never considered a career in manure sales, since he clearly has a talent for shoveling it. I am sure that, once he came to this conclusion about his allegedly "divine" name, Taylor felt wonderful about himself because, after all, he wrote that he believed that God was "calling me beautiful," and two paragraphs later, he so "humbly" concluded, "I was Shakina Kami."


What is surprising about this statement is Taylor's willful blindness to the pride of his own heart. Even the Lord Jesus Christ, who is worthy of all beautiful and glorifying names, did not give Himself such fancy titles, but Taylor obviously has an inward desire to be worshiped, and as we will learn later, he is worshiped by many.

Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
-Proverbs 16:18

As we just learned, Taylor is a retired firefighter who, it seems, had to retire due to medical issues. After spending years saving lives, only to have that stripped away and become bedridden, a man naturally reflects on his purpose. He wonders if there is anything more to his life than lying in bed watching TV. This craving for a grandiose, divine purpose explains why he gave himself such a pompous name—born out of a deep yearning for self-importance.

Some readers might feel that I am being a bit harsh on Taylor since we are only at the beginning of this book, but on a radio show, he declared:
"I don't take any glory for it. I give it all to the Lord Jesus Christ."
-Mark Taylor, "Full Interview: Trump Prophecy with Prophet Mark Taylor on COVID and 2020 Election," The Joe Padula Show, Dec 20, 2020, retrieved Oct 28, 2022, [https://rumble.com/vc1p9p-full-interview-trump-prophecy-with-prophet-mark-taylor-on-covid-and-2020-el.html]

As someone who has read Taylor's book, I can say with confidence that there is nothing in it that is glorifying to Jesus Christ. The entire book is a self-glorification of Mark Taylor, Don & Mary Colbert, Donald Trump, and the other corrupt false prophets and fake apostles who Taylor promotes in it.

I generally avoid watching movies, as I believe nearly everything Hollywood produces is demonic and corrupts the minds of viewers. However, many years ago, when I did watch them regularly, I recall comedies featuring a common joke: a character speaks one or two words in a foreign language, but the subtitles display three or four paragraphs of translation.

The actors stand silently staring at each other while the lengthy text fills the screen. Audiences laughed at the absurdity of speaking only a few syllables yet requiring paragraphs of explanation. Mark Taylor does exactly this with his "Shakina Kami" phrase, which should provoke laughter from his audience, but sadly, many churchgoers take him seriously because he claims it came from God.

Taylor did not inform his readers that the words he used carry numerous meanings beyond those he highlighted. For instance, 'kami' means 'we' or 'our' in Indonesian and also represents two distinct languages (one in Tanzania and another in Nigeria). Conveniently, Taylor omitted these alternative meanings and neglected to inform anyone of their existence.
(See Definition.net, "Definitions for Kami," retrieved Sept 27, 2022, [https://www.definitions.net/definition/KAMI]; See also 'kami', "Indonesian to English Translation," retrieved Sept 27, 2022, [https://www.translate.com/indonesian-english])

When we study the prophets in the Old and New Testament Scriptures, we see that God spoke to them in a language they could understand. On the Day of Pentecost, Christians spoke, and the Holy Spirit translated their words into languages that everyone could grasp in their own tongue (Acts 2:5-11). Yet, for some unexplained reason, Taylor claims God spoke to him in languages he couldn't understand, without granting him the ability to comprehend them. These languages, according to Taylor, might include African (without specifying the language of origin, since "African" is not a language), Indian (without clarifying which language), Hebrew, Japanese, and, based on my further research, also Indonesian, Tanzanian, and Nigerian.

In Scripture, we find Simon was given the name Peter, Saul was given the name Paul, and Abram was given the name Abraham, which are very simplistic, and had specific meaning in their own language which were immediately known to them. This begs the question: Why does Taylor need such a complex and secretive interpretion concerning his alleged name from God?

Furthermore, how does Taylor know that "Shakina Kami" is interpreted by the languages of men, and not some other unknown spiritual language that he is unfamiliar with? Mark does not know these things, but he assumes whatever interpretation makes him feel good, glorifies himself, and gains him more popularity with his audience.

Readers who follow my teachings at creationliberty.com may have noticed Taylor is using a method of interpretation that is strikingly similar to numerologists, as I covered in my teaching, "Numerology is Occult Divination," which involves changing parameters to make the interpretation fit with someone's preconceived narrative, rather than just looking directly at the information in context. The reason the methods are so similar is because Taylor also practices divination through numerology, and we will cover more details on that in chapter three.

Keep in mind that, in the timeline of events, this "Shikina Kami" nonsense Mark Taylor prophesied about himself came BEFORE his so-called burning in the bosom about Donald Trump. What we can glean from this is that Taylor was already puffed up with pride, convinced he was sent by God to deliver divine revelations (typical of a worldly man, wasting away in bed, desperately seeking purpose for his existence), and at that point, he was frantically searching everywhere for some kind of divine "sign."

A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
-Matthew 16:4

Seeking signs through divination was not only dangerous (because it breeds corruption), but combining that with his use of psychotropic drugs at the time created a recipe for disaster:
"I was sitting in my living room absent-mindedly flipping through the channels on my television... my body was slowly becoming one with the fluff of my recliner. My brain was now an impenetrable wall over which very little incoming information could overcome as my body was deteriorating and my mind was its most recent victim... most days I lacked even the strength to rise from my bed or even read. My stomach was wrecked, my muscles were atrophied, and my thoughts were a confusing paradox of roadblocks that clouded all normalcy... My grasp on reality was blurring into a canvas of dark colors that bled into unconstructive patterns of weary desperation that left my spirit staggering and lost in my own brand of wilderness. I was sick. I was deflated. I was dying."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 3-4, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW]

After listening to many hours of Taylor's interviews, and reading over his failed prophecies, I contend that nothing changed, and that Taylor's thoughts are still "a confusing paradox of roadblocks." Taylor intended this to be a testimony of the victory God gave him in his life, but upon analysis, it actually brings into question his reliability as a witness to anything at all.

Do not misunderstand my stance: I believe the Lord can and does heal His faithful children to some extent, but the greatest healing occurs in our minds and hearts, transforming our thinking to reflect His charitable, merciful, and disciplined nature. However, the men transformed in Scripture were generally of sound mind, not under the influence of drugs, as any so-called "visions" experienced in such a state would be unreliable.

Taylor later admitted he was taking Zoloft at the time, a dangerous psychotropic drug prescribed for so-called "PTSD," which, according to some psychologists, is not a legitimate illness. This claim may shock some readers, but psychology is a pseudo-science, and some psychologists acknowledge that PTSD is fictitious. I explore the details in my book, Psychology: Hoodwinked by the Devil, available free to read at creationliberty.com, which provides extensive evidence showing that PTSD is part of a broader scheme called "disease-mongering," akin to 19th-century snake-oil salesmen peddling nonexistent ailments.

Taylor testified that his doctor prescribed Zoloft for him, and he then said:
"I agreed to the treatment and it worked just like the doctor said it would, but the effects were not permanent."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 3-4, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW]

Taking Zoloft is like undergoing a chemical lobotomy, restricting the brain's ability to feel and think, which poses deadly risks not only to the user but also to those around them. Suicide and murder are common side effects for those using Zoloft long-term, yet pharmaceutical companies enjoy government-sanctioned immunity from prosecution for poisoning their customers.

Taylor likely believed this story would bolster his credibility, but in my view, it thoroughly destroys it, and should be taken as a warning for readers of his book to approach him with caution due to Zoloft's side effects, which can induce experiences that could be misinterpreted to be "religious" or "spiritual." For instance, Zoloft's side effects include, but are not limited to: In upcoming chapters, I will demonstrate that Mark Taylor lies in public interviews, and manipulates his followers. As we delve into the details of his prophecies, I urge readers to remember that Taylor was using psychotropic drugs for a time, which clearly influenced his so-called "visions." When a known liar and manipulator takes psychotropics, we have no rational choice but approach everything in his testimony with strict skepticism.

As we will see, Mark Taylor's so-called "prophecies" lack anything objective readers would conclude to be miraculous. Most of his "prophecies" concern mundane events, like elections or criminal prosecutions, often laced with World War II references and a few Bible stories, without any broader historical context or doctrinal depth. This alone offers compelling evidence that Taylor is not proclaiming the Word of God but is instead voicing his own thoughts that are drawn from his limited knowledge, while falsely claiming divine inspiration.
 


Mark Taylor's book, The Trump Prophecies, was written and published in 2017, AFTER Trump became president in 2016, and it is important to understand why. It stands to reason that a legitimate prophet of God would want to publish his writings BEFORE the events happen, rather than afterwards, because it would be far more effective that way, but all we typically see today are so-called "prophets" publishing AFTER the events, which, when you think about it, completely defeats the point of the prophecy, and only serves to increase the popularity and funding of the con artist peddling his scam.

Note that Taylor recorded and posted his original prophecies on his website beforehand, freely accessible without purchasing his book. Yet, for a man who claims, "I don't take any glory for it. I give it all to the Lord Jesus Christ," it is telling and convenient that after Trump's election as President, Taylor and his associates promptly began publishing books and selling movie rights that glorified themselves.

Today, most of his followers are blissfully ignorant that Mark Taylor prophesied Trump would be president in 2012, NOT in 2016. Taylor has worked hard over the past few years to sweep this fact under the rug because he knows it proves he is a false prophet, but in this chapter, we will pull the rug out from under Taylor, and expose the deceptions he hides underneath.

Apart from his show, The Apprentice, Donald Trump occasionally appeared in the news, but no more than usual before his presidential run. However, starting in early 2011, around the same time Mark Taylor claimed he experienced "a ringing in [his] spiritual ears" (likely induced by the psychotropic drugs he was taking), Trump's media presence surged due to his public questioning of former President Barack Obama's birth certificate legitimacy.

In his book, Taylor leads readers to believe he received a divine revelation that "you are hearing the voice of a president," but conveniently omits that mainstream media, particularly FOX News, was already including Donald Trump in presidential polls as early as 2011. Taylor knows mentioning this would make his "prophecy" appear less like a divine revelation and more like an emotional expression based on an educated guess.

For example, on April 12, 2011, a HuffPost article, called "Trump's Polls: A Reality Check," included Trump in comparison with other presidential candidates that year:
"Donald Trump a 2012 presidential frontrunner? Seriously? That was the way many pundits reacted last week when NBC News and the Wall Street Journal released a national poll of Republicans and found the real-estate mogul and reality-TV star receiving the backing of 17 percent of likely voters and tied with former Ark. Gov. Mike Huckabee for second place, just four points behind ex-Mass. Gov. Mitt Romney, who was at 21 percent. Now today, a nationwide Republican poll from CNN should throw more fuel on that fire. It shows Trump tied with Huckabee at 19 percent each, followed by the 2008 GOP VP candidate Sarah Palin (12 percent), Romney and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich (11 percent each)."

In another example, on April 2, 2011, the New York Times published an article talking about Trump's run for president in 2012:
"Depending on your perspective, Mr. Trump's growing visibility on television and in political news stories over the last few weeks represents the opening phase of a political campaign or the metastasis of a media spectacle. Mr. Trump, who says he is absolutely serious about a run for president, has appeared regularly on Fox News, MSNBC, CNN, ABC and in a wide variety of political blogs. Media outlets that had expected the Republican presidential ticket to take on a fuller shape by now have found themselves with a news void, and in the absence of other news-making characters, many of them are filling it with Mr. Trump."
-Jeremy W. Peters & Brian Stelter, "Trump for President in 2012? Maybe. Trump for Trump? Without Question," New York Times, Apr 2, 2011, retrieved Sept 28, 2022, [https://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/03/business/media/03trump.html]

A quick search of news articles from that period revealed numerous reports from early 2011 on this topic, from a range of (corrupt) mainstream media outlets, including Gallup, PolitiFact, FOX, The Atlantic, ABC, NPR, CBS, Politico, and CNN, among others. Some of these networks aired the very news programs Taylor was watching while wasting away in bed. The key point is that this was widely publicized information at the time, and as we will soon see, Taylor, like nearly every other modern "prophet" I have encountered, based his so-called "prophecy" on mainstream media reports, not on any divine revelation from God.

One crucial detail to note is that Taylor, in his book, omitted the specific date of his "Trump prophecy," but readers should be aware that he claimed to receive this alleged revelation from God on April 28, 2011. Just two days earlier, on April 26, Trump surged ahead in preliminary GOP polls:
"Donald Trump holds a slim lead over other potential candidates in the race for the Republican presidential nomination, a new Newsmax/InsiderAdvantage poll reveals."
-Jim Meyers, "Newsmax/InsiderAdvantage Poll: Trump Gains Slim Lead in 2012 GOP Race," Newsmax, Apr 26, 2022, [https://www.newsmax.com/Headline/DonaldTrump-MikeHuckabee-SarahPalin-/2011/04/26/id/394126/]

On April 27, the day before Taylor's alleged revelation, a poll was taken showing Trump tied with Obama:
"According to CNN, the national survey by Newsweek/Daily Beast 'indicated that in a hypothetical general election matchup between President Barack Obama and Trump as the GOP nominee, Obama beat Trump by only two percentage points, 43 to 41, which was well with in the survey's sampling error.'"
-Louis Jacobson, "CNN did a poll recently where Obama and I are statistically tied," Politifact, Apr 27, 2011, retrieved Sept 28, 2022, [https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2011/apr/27/donald-trump/trump-says-recent-cnn-poll-shows-him-competitive-c/]

As mentioned earlier, the day after Trump's poll surge, Taylor recorded his "Trump prophecy," though it is unclear if he published it online before 2016. I could not locate any records of it existing online until after Trump's 2016 election, so if it was posted earlier, those records are extremely difficult to find.

In 2015, Mark Taylor launched a website, sordrescue.com, focused on promoting his "S.O.R.D." rescue device (Special Operations Recovery Drag), which he invented to save lives in emergency situations. After Trump's election in November 2016, Taylor added a small "Prophetic Words" link at the top of his page. By 2017, he moved this link nearer the center to draw more attention. By 2018, he removed all information about his life-saving device to push his fraudulent prophecies, and by 2019, the site transformed into a full-blown circus dedicated to exalting Mark Taylor as a so-called "prophet."

(See Mark Taylor, "Special Operations Recovery Drag," sordrescue.com, 2016, retrieved Dec 13, 2022, [https://web.archive.org/web/20160305205315/http://www.sordrescue.com])

In 2020, Taylor reinstated a small, single link for information on his SORD rescue device, likely in response to critics who mocked him for abandoning promotion of a life-saving tool to glorify himself as a so-called "prophet." In December 2022, while finalizing the draft of this book, I revisited sordrescue.com to examine the SORD link specifically, however, clicking the link for more details on the SORD rescue device, after which the domain is named, redirected me to "sord.us," which produced a "This site can't be reached" error page.

Since Taylor thought his 2011 prophecy about Trump was more important than saving lives, let's analyze it:
"The Spirit of God says, I have chosen this man, Donald Trump, for such a time as this. For as Benjamin Netanyahu is to Israel, so shall this man be to the United States of America. For I will use this man to bring honor, respect and restoration to America. America will be respected once again as the most powerful and prosperous nation on earth, (other than Israel). The dollar will be the strongest it has ever been in the history of the United States, and will once again be the currency by which all others are judged.
The Spirit of God says, The enemy will quake and shake and fear this man I have anointed. They will even quake and shake when he announces he is running for president. It will be like the shot heard across the world. The enemy will say, "What shall we do now? This man knows all our tricks and schemes. We have been robbing America for decades. What shall we do to stop this?" The Spirit says, HA! No one shall stop this that I have started! For the enemy has stolen from America for decades, and it stops now! For I will use this man to reap the harvest that the United States has sown for, and plunder from the enemy what he has stolen, and return it back seven-fold to the United States. The enemy will say, "Israel, Israel -- what about Israel?" For Israel will be protected by America once again. The Spirit says, Yes! America will once again stand hand in hand with Israel, and the two shall be as one. For the ties between Israel and America will be stronger than ever, and Israel will flourish as never before.
The Spirit of God says, I will protect America and Israel; for this next President will be a man of his word. When he speaks the world will listen, and know that there is something greater in him than all the others before him. This man's word is his bond, and the world and America will know this, and the enemy will fear this; for this man will be fearless. The Spirit says, When the financial harvest begins, so shall it parallel in the spiritual for America.
The Spirit of God says, In this next election they will spend billions to keep this president in: it will be like flushing their money down the toilet. Let them waste their money; for it comes from -- and it is being used by -- evil forces at work; but they will not succeed, for this next election will be a clean sweep for the man I have chosen. The enemy will say things about this man, but it will not affect him, and they shall say it rolls off of him like the duck; for as the feathers of a duck protect it, so shall my feathers protect this next President. Even mainstream news media will be captivated by this man and the abilities that I have gifted him with, and they will even begin to agree with him, says the Spirit of God."
-Mark Tayor, "Commander in Chief," Sord Rescue, Apr 28, 2011, retrieved Sept 28, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/04-28-11_commander_in_chief.pdf]

Worshipers of false prophets often read these alleged "prophecies" far too quickly and end up missing (perhaps on purpose) many key details that reveal contradictions. Most of the time, they end up seeing the words "Donald Trump," "God," and "chosen," and then immediately jump and shout with glee without first examining the finer points.

I found it odd when Taylor declared, "America will be respected once again as the most powerful and prosperous nation on earth, (other than Israel)," because Israel was never the most powerful nation on earth. Israel may have been among the most prosperous at one time, perhaps during Solomon's reign, depending on the economic factors considered, however, in terms of power, Israel was consistently outnumbered, which glorifies the Lord, who repeatedly intervened to protect Israel from far more powerful nations.

Taylor made a foolish claim, stating, "the dollar will be the strongest it has ever been in the history of the United States, and will once against be the currency by which all others are judged." Perhaps that will happen because I cannot predict the future, but I do know that fiat money—government-issued debt note paper—can never be a stable currency due to the inherent flaws of printing and fractional reserve banking. As of fall 2022, when I first drafted this book, Bitcoin, not the dollar, held the title of the world's most stable and valuable currency, but time will reveal whether this adds another piece to the mounting evidence against Taylor's false prophecies.

In recent interviews, Taylor has backpedaled on this prophecy, crafting a deceptive narrative to mislead his audience by claiming a "new dollar" is forthcoming, which deviates from his original prophecy's claims:
"[@20:18] HOST: What are some of the prophecies you said about the economy?
TAYLOR: The economy would be stronger than its ever been. The dollar would be the strongest its ever been. Now, this is where you have to be careful with the prophecies because we think—we rehearse this movie in our head sometimes that we think it's going to come to pass one way, and when it doesn't, then we go, 'Okay, that was a false prophecy,' but when in fact, it was something else, and so, you know what I mean? This is where we've got to be careful, so it could be the new dollar that's coming because I do believe they're going to take the Fed [Federal Reserve System] down at some time, and they're going to back the currency with gold."

This manipulative rhetoric, common among politicians, raises a critical question: How can one discern that Mark Taylor is a false prophet? Taylor insists that whenever external evidence points to his falsehood, we must not conclude he is a false prophet but instead reinterpret his prophecy. This demands presupposing Taylor is a true prophet before evaluating his prophecies to test his legitimacy—a requirement never made by any prophet in Scripture. Even though it was not widely used as currency in the 2020s, Bitcoin was the world's strongest currency, with one Bitcoin valued at ten times the worth of a gold coin, backed by energy rather than precious metals, with a finite number of coins that could not be duplicated. Bitcoin—a digital currency secured by blockchain encryption—eliminated the need for third-party bankers and derived its value from the electricity used to power the hardware computations that provide proof of work.
(See Saifedean Ammous, The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking, Wiley, ISBN: 9781119473862)

I will not explore the complex details of Bitcoin, as it is not the primary focus of this book. However, I urge readers to note that, based on my research, the future of currency lies in sound money, which is not found in government-backed paper currencies like the dollar, contrary to what Taylor claimed his prophecy predicted, but we will have to wait and see what unfolds, and if the world moves to a Bitcoin standard, then it will be one more drop in the bucket of Taylor's false prophecies.

Taylor then prophesied that the "Spirit of God" (the Holy Spirit, who is God) declared Trump would become President of the United States, "IN THIS NEXT ELECTION." I emphasized this phrase because he repeated it twice for clarity in his prophecy. The next presidential election after 2011 was in 2012, but Trump did not run, and Barack Obama was the winner.

This begs another question: How does Mark Taylor know that Barack Obama was not "God's chosen man" too? After all, God oversees all things, and does all according to His will and timing, so why would Taylor not conclude that Obama was God's chosen man, to be used to punish America for our many sins?

Taylor avoided that conclusion because he was biased against Barack Obama, and because such a message lacks the fluffy, feel-good appeal that Taylor and his followers crave. They desire "God's chosen man" to shower them with pleasant promises and uplifting feelings, forcing Taylor to rework his prophecy, and this explains why he concealed it for another four years, rather than boldly standing by his claim as a "true" prophet.

Many false prophets like Taylor claim to have predicted that Donald Trump was "chosen by God," fallaciously presuming this makes Trump a Christian. This is a ridiculous position because they hypocritically profess to follow Christ while they do not, and then hypocritically assert Trump is a Christian when he is not.

In an interview with radio host Joe Padula, Taylor was speaking about Trump, and he said:
"[23:55] TAYLOR: This man is now a Christian. His sins have been forgiven, they're washed clean...
HOST: Is Donald Trump a born again Christian?
TAYLOR: Yes. Absolutely, I believe he is."
-Mark Taylor, "Full Interview: Trump Prophecy with Prophet Mark Taylor on COVID and 2020 Election," The Joe Padula Show, Dec 20, 2020, retrieved, Nov 1, 2022, [https://rumble.com/vc1p9p-full-interview-trump-prophecy-with-prophet-mark-taylor-on-covid-and-2020-el.html]

How does Taylor know that? He does not make that clear, but if I had to guess, he used his "prophetic feelings" instead of giving us a reason based on evidence.

I can prove that Donald Trump is NOT a Christian, and this will help us see that Mark Taylor does NOT know the Gospel of Salvation in Jesus Christ. Trump has claimed to have been a Christian for much of his life, but in 2015, he was asked about his faith while speaking at the Family Leadership Summit in Ames, Iowa:

HOST: "You used the word 'Christian', have you ever asked God for forgiveness?" TRUMP: "That's a tough question. I don't think in terms of--I'm a religious person, shockingly, because people are so shocked when they find this out. I'm Protestant. I'm Presbyterian, and I go to church, and I love God, and I love my church. And Norman Vincent Peale, the great Norman Vincent Peale, was my pastor. The Power of Positive Thinking, everybody's heard of Norman Vincent Peale, he was so great. He would give a sermon, you never wanted to leave. Every once in a while we think about leaving a little early, right? Even though we're Christians."

-Donald Trump, "Donald Trump on God and Forgiveness," July 18, 2015, reuploaded to Creation Liberty Evangelism YouTube Channel, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBmhr1xt1MU]

Trump speaks briefly about Norman Vincent Peale, a new-age false preacher who peddled a feel-good message from a false prosperity gospel. Peale deserves his own exposé, but I aim to keep this book focused on Mark Taylor. As a marketer, Peale was instrumental to introduce psychology—a demonic pseudo-science—into church buildings worldwide, promoting a false "self-esteem" doctrine that inflates people's pride instead of leading them to the humility of repentance, weeping for their sins at the foot of the cross, and the fruit of this arrogant church-ianity is evident in Trump's speeches.
(Read Psychology: Hoodwinked by the Devil here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

If you read the quote carefully, you will notice Trump did NOT answer the question. He talked about denominations (which are unbiblical), he talked about how much he claimed he loved God (which is something everybody in every corrupt religion says), but he did not say if he had ever asked God for forgiveness, so the host asked again:

HOST: "But have you ever asked God for forgiveness?" [everyone laughs because they realized he dodged the question] TRUMP: "I'm not sure I have. I just go on and try and do a better job from there. I don't think so. If I do something wrong, I think I just try and make it right. I don't bring God into that picture. I don't. Now, when I take, you know, when we go to church, and when I drink my little wine, which is about the only wine I drink, and I have my little cracker, I get—that's a form of asking for forgiveness, and I do that as often as possible because I feel cleansed, okay? But, to me, that's important. I do that, but in terms of officially—you see, I could say, 'Absolutely!' but I don't think in terms of that. I think in terms of let's go on and let's make it right."

-Donald Trump, "Donald Trump on God and Forgiveness," July 18, 2015, reuploaded to Creation Liberty Evangelism YouTube Channel, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBmhr1xt1MU]

Notice that the host did not specifically ask Trump if he sought God's forgiveness for SINS, yet Trump declared that, even if he believed he had sinned, he does not "bring God into that picture." Therefore, in Donald Trump's mind, seeing himself as inherently good (as do many who are members of religious cults), he finds no reason to seek forgiveness for anything. However, for those of us who have been born again in the Lord Jesus Christ and studied the doctrines of the Word of God over many years, we can easily prove from the Scriptures that Trump has never been a Christian.

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
-1 John 1:8-10

The very fact that Donald Trump easily and openly says he is "not sure" that he has asked the Lord for forgiveness demonstrates beyond any shadow of a doubt that Trump has NEVER come to repentance (i.e. the humility of godly sorrow) of his sin. Therefore, since Trump has never come to repentance of his sin, he does not believe on the Christian God of the Bible; rather, he believes in some other false "christ" that was taught to him by new-age church-ianity false preachers like Peale.

Trump worshipers often become furious when I make this point, typically for two reasons. First, they cling to a bizarre cultic belief that Trump is an angel sent straight from heaven's gates to save them.

Personally, I believe Donald Trump has been a great president, working to dismantle decades of corruption entrenched in Washington D.C. However, in the minds of cultic worshipers, Trump cannot simply be a moral and responsible leader; he must be deemed "divine" in some way to satisfy their religious presuppositions.

The second reason is that they view themselves as "Christians" converted in the same manner as Donald Trump, according to a false gosepl. Thus, when I highlight that Scripture contradicts Trump's testimony, it also challenges their own testimonies. They realize that if Trump is not a Christian, neither are they, and in their view, it is simpler to attack the messenger than to confront the truth that, without repentance, a man will perish in hell for eternity.

I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish.
-Luke 13:3

In summary, Donald Trump does not "bring God into [the] picture" of his sin, which means that Trump does NOT have the grace of God to save him. A man who has never come to repentance has never understood the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To understand the Gospel of Salvation, one must acknowledge his own wretched and vile condition. Trump believes that, by his own works, he has made himself clean and righteous (which is as senseless as trying to take a bath in a sewer), and if he dies with his hopes in that belief, he will end up in hell—alongside Peale, the Obamas, and the Clintons (just to name a few)—because no man can save himself by his own works.
(Read "Hell is Real And Many People Are Going There" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
-Romans 3:19-20

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
-Ephesians 2:8-9

And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work.
-Romans 11:6

Either a man trusts in his own works for his salvation (as Trump has done), or he trusts in the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. There is no in between. If a man trusts in his own works for his salvation, then he will have to pay the penalty of his sin forever in hell fire, but if he comes on knees in tears of repentance to the foot of the cross to trust in Christ's grace for salvation, he will have his penalty paid for him and will join the Lord in heaven forever.

These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God.
-1 John 5:13

To be fair, Taylor's prophecy claimed that "God's chosen man" was Donald Trump (i.e., "I have chosen this man, Donald Trump"), but it specified "in this next election," referring to 2012. In his book, Taylor attempted to deceive his readers with the following excuse:
"The prophecy I had written in 2011 did not come true in 2012 like I thought it would." -Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 48, ISBN: 9780998142678

Mary Colbert argued this point in the book, asserting that the prophecy stated, "The enemy... will even quake and shake when he announces he is running for president," and concluded it would apply only when Trump announced his presidential candidacy. Since he did not announce in 2012, she inferred the prophecy did not pertain to 2012, but that is not how Taylor's prophecy was written, nor was that its context, as I will demonstrate.
(See Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 62, ISBN: 9780998142678)

Do not be fooled by his attempts at feigned humility because Taylor knew this was a problem that had to be solved, else no one would believe him, so he attempted to fool his listeners with this same excuse in almost all of his interviews. On The Joe Padula Show, Taylor said:
"[@12:32] If you look at the prophecy, it says—and I didn't even notice this until someone pointed out to me—it says in there, 'when he announces', and see, even me as the prophetic voice, I thought it might have been for 2012, but it was actually for 2016."

The following is an interview Mark Taylor had with false preacher Jim Bakker:
"BAKKER: God gave him a word that Trump would be President of the United States, and that was in 2011.
TAYLOR: Correct. 2011... Now, what I didn't know at the time was the exact timing. I thought it was going to be for 2012."
-Mark Taylor & Jim Bakker, "The Prophet Mark Taylor On The Donald Trump Prophecy," Mar 3, 2022, retrieved Oct 13, 2022, [https://rumble.com/vwd71z-the-prophet-mark-taylor-on-the-donald-trump-prophecy.html]

Because these claims are made quickly during a podcast, and since many listeners will not investigate further, most will never discern how Taylor deceived them with his explanation. Notice that Taylor said, "I THOUGHT it was going to be for 2012," rather than, "I PROPHESIED that it was going to be for 2012."

Though the latter of the two statements would be more honest, it would also prove he was a false prophet, so instead, he talks about his "thoughts" instead of what he actually wrote down. What many people do not understand is that all of it comes down to a difference between the words 'this' and 'that', which are demonstrative pronouns used to indicate a person, place, thing, idea, time, event, etc.

Before addressing Taylor's use of the word "this," we must clarify a crucial point: Mark Taylor did NOT write, "when he announces he is running for president, then, in this next election," as these phrases appear in separate paragraphs with distinct contexts. The phrase "when he announces he is running for president" is in paragraph #2, while "in this next election" is in paragraph #4. Reading the full prophecy quoted earlier in this chapter reveals these sentences convey different ideas: one about the earth trembling at Trump's announcement of "running for president," and the other about spending "billions to keep this president [i.e. Obama] in" office.

This could only have referred to Obama, since Hillary Clinton was not Trump's opponent until later in 2016. Clearly, billions were not spent to keep Obama in office.

To summarize, the only way this prophecy could have been true is if there was an incumbent candidate trying to keep his seat when Trump won. That would have been Obama in 2012, but in 2016 (the year Taylor says his "prophecy" was fulfilled), there was no incumbent president.

Now let's make sure we understand the difference between the words 'this' and 'that':
"We use the word 'this' to point out a person or object which is close to you. On the other hand, 'that' is used to point out a person or an object which is farther from you."
-Surbhi S, "Difference Between This and That," Key Differences, Jan 12, 2019, retrieved Nov 2, 2022, [https://keydifferences.com/difference-between-this-and-that.html]

Even if Taylor intended to link the two sentences (despite their contextual contradiction), he stated "in THIS next election," referring to an event closer in time, not further away. If the prophecy was meant to pertain to an election four years later, or tied to Trump announcing his candidacy at some distant point in the future, Taylor would have written "in THAT next election." However, that is not what Mark Taylor said, because he prophesied about 2012 and conceals this to prevent others from recognizing him as a fraudulent prophet.

Earlier, I stated that the latter of the two statements would be more honest, as I believe Taylor was partially truthful in his first statement, "I THOUGHT it was going to be for 2012." I say this because, in truth, his Trump prophecy was not a prophecy at all, but merely Taylor recording his personal thoughts and feelings. He only seeks to convince others it is a prophecy to inflate his own sense of importance and self-glorification.

As I pointed out in the introduction to this book, the REAL Spirit of God has clearly said that any man who gives a prophecy in name of the Lord that does not come to pass is a false prophet, and it only takes ONE false prophecy for a man to be exposed as fraudulent:

But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
-Deuteronomy 18:20-22

Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.
-Jeremiah 14:14

Even if someone claims Taylor's prophecy was salvaged by his "announcement" excuse, other details in the prophecy fail to match reality. For instance, Taylor's prophecy declared that Donald Trump would be elected in a landslide, or in his "prophetic" words, "a clean sweep," but Trump did not run for office in 2012, and even if Taylor insists the prophecy refers to 2016 (which we know is false), it remains a lie because Trump did not win in a clean sweep in 2016.

The following graph is from the final election results recorded for the 2016 U.S. presidential election:
(See New York Times, "2016 Presidential Election Results," Aug 9, 2017, retrieved Sept 30, 2022, [https://www.nytimes.com/elections/2016/results/president])

Trump won the election by roughly 2 points, or only 2.1% of the popular vote. He won 306 of the 538 electoral votes, which is only slightly more than half. Let's make sure we understand what the phrase 'clean sweep' means:

clean sweep (n): an overwhelming or decisive victory, as by a political candidate who wins in all or almost all election districts
(See 'clean sweep', Random House Dictionary, 2022, [dictionary.com]; See also Collins English Dictionary, 10th Edition, William Collins Sons & Co, 2012)

This phrase is called 'jargon':

jargon (n): the language, especially the vocabulary, peculiar to a particular trade, profession, or group
(See 'jargon', Random House Dictionary, 2025, [dictionary.com]; See also Collins English Dictionary, 10th Edition, William Collins Sons & Co, 2012)

If Taylor chooses to use American political or sports jargon like "clean sweep" and attribute it to God's words, we must take meaning of those phrases seriously. Clearly, Trump did not win in a clean sweep, and thus, the prophecy is proven false yet again, despite Mary Colbert's deceptive attempts to salvage it for her readers.

A man as arrogant as Mark Taylor will not come to repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow) of his sins, as he claims to be "Shakina Kami - the Beautiful One Whose Desires Are Fulfilled, and in Whose Life the Lord Dwells with the Divine Wind of Providence." Some readers may wonder what Mark Taylor prophesied after his obvious failure in 2012, but the alleged "Spirit of God," which dubbed him "Shakina Kami," apparently fell silent, and Taylor did not issue his next prophecy for another four years, conveniently matching the gap between presidential elections.

Fast forward to June of 2015, rumors were abuzz (once again, just like in 2011) in the mainstream media that Donald Trump was going to announce his official bid to run for president in 2016:
"The real surprise in all of this (at least to me) is Donald Trump, the perennial tease who has faked out the national press in so many previous campaigns that they no longer take him seriously. Yet the market believes that Mr. Trump is for real this time, rating him a 62 percent chance to file paperwork with the Federal Election Commission sometime this month. Perhaps it is time to take him a bit more seriously. Or at least it's time to take seriously the idea that he intends to run."
-Justin Wolfers, "If You're a Betting Man, It's Time to Start Believing Donald Trump," New York Times, June 9, 2015, retrieved Sept 28, 2022, [https://www.nytimes.com/2015/06/10/upshot/if-youre-a-betting-man-its-time-to-start-believing-donald-trump.html]

Miraculously, at the precise time all these rumors were floating around, Mark Taylor presented his second prophecy, which says essentially nothing:
"From Supreme Headquarters to the Department of Spiritual Warfare: from the Supreme Commander, to the Army of God — Heaven's Invading Expeditionary Forces: Apostles; Prophets; Evangelists; Preachers and Teachers; Men and Women of the Army of God. You are about to embark upon a great crusade toward which we have striven since all of creation. The eyes of the world and all of heaven are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brothers and sisters in arms, and other fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the satanic war machine — the elimination of the demonic tyranny over the oppressed peoples of the earth, and security for yourselves and for a free world. Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped, and battle hardened. He will fight savagely; but now is the time. Much has happened since the demonic triumphs of years past. The body of Christ has inflicted upon the demonic great defeats in spiritual and natural realms. Our spiritual offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air, and their capacity to wage war on the ground. I have given you an overwhelming superiority in weapons for your warfare, and placed at your disposal great reserves of trained fighting men and women from the body of Christ. The tide has turned. The free men and women of my army are marching together to victory. I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty, and skill in battle, and will accept nothing less than full victory. For this is a great and noble undertaking, and the victory is yours. Your Supreme Commander, God."

After his initial false prophecy, Taylor learned the danger of being too specific, so he slyly kept this one vague. Most people remained unaware of Taylor, and sufficient time had passed that the few who knew of him had forgotten, and thus, he believed he could slip into a "prophetic word" with vague, feel-good messages to gain notoriety among religious cultists.

Desperate for others to view him as a true prophet of God, Taylor needed several months to gather evidence about Trump before issuing another alleged "prophecy," so he waited until Trump officially launched his campaign in June 2015. Doubting his so-called "Spirit of God" this time, Taylor held off on publishing any "prophecies" until Trump had been campaigning for months and held a massive lead in the GOP preliminary polls.

In September of 2015, CNN reported that polls showed Trump was 13 points ahead of the second place Republican candidate:
"Trump gained 8 points since August to land at 32% support, and has nearly tripled his support since just after he launched his campaign in June. The new poll finds former neurosurgeon Ben Carson rising 10 points to land in second place with 19%. Together, these two non-politicians now hold the support of a majority of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents, and separately, both are significantly ahead of all other competitors."

Three weeks later, Trump was still holding his number one spot:
"Billionaire businessman Donald Trump has strengthened his lead at the top of the USA TODAY/Suffolk University Poll while two other outsider candidates, Ben Carson and Carly Fiorina, have gained ground over rivals with electoral experience."
-Susan Page & Paulina Firozi, "Poll: Donald Trump still on top as outsiders Fiorina, Carson rise," USA Today, Sept 30, 2022, [https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2015/09/30/suffolk-poll-republicans-trump-carson-fiorina/73035550/]

Trump continued to hold his place at the top of the GOP polls into October:
"In July, it was fairly common to hear the Republican establishment and much of the media see Donald Trump atop 2016 GOP polling and ask, 'Sure he's leading now, but can he sustain this advantage into August?' And then in August, they'd ask, 'Sure he's leading now, but can he sustain this advantage into September?' And then in September, they'd ask, 'Sure he's leading now, but can he sustain this advantage into October?' It's October. Here are the latest national results from the Pew Research Center.
1. Donald Trump: 25%
2. Ben Carson: 16%"

Taylor, who paid close attention to the mainstream media, knew it was time to make his debut again, and on Oct 7, 2015, he wrote:
"First: The Spirit of God says, Army of God! Out of the darkness I command you to arise and take your place! For I have given you extra time, mercy and grace. Go, go, go! Do not slow down. Begin to take and hold your ground; for there is no more time to waste. America will once again be the great light. The enemy will say, 'Oh the light! The light! It shines so bright! There's nothing else left to do but to take flight!' And indeed they will! The sign will be: a mass exodus in the natural, as the spirit shall flee.
Second: The Spirit of God says, The gate-keeper, the gate-keeper! The President of the United States is the spiritual gate-keeper. I have chosen this man, Donald Trump, and anointed him as President for such a time as this. Can you not see this? For even in his name you can see: 'Donald,' meaning: 'world leader' -- spiritual connotation: 'faithful' — 'Trump,' meaning: 'to get the better of,' or 'to outrank or defeat someone or something, often in a highly public way.'
This man I have chosen will be a faithful world leader, and together with my army, will defeat all of America's enemies in the spiritual, and in the natural. You will see it manifest before your eyes! I will use this man to shut gates, doors and portals that this past president has opened. He will open gates, doors and portals this past president has shut. My army shall not be silenced; they will begin to see he is the one I have chosen. They will begin to rally around him and keep him covered in spiritual support. And as you gain ground they will say, "America is not frozen."

There is more to this prophecy from Taylor, but most of it is boring and pompous, so anything else significant in it we will cover in later chapters. If you want to read the whole thing, I have provided links in the references. We have already proven that Mark Taylor is a false prophet, so nothing else he says in his alleged "prophecies" makes any difference, but I wanted to analyze this part because it is a key piece of evidence to connect to the next chapter on Taylor's practice of witchcraft through divination.

As we already covered in Taylor's "Shakina Kami" prophecy, he stretches his imagination and cherry-picks definitions to create a "prophetic word." Here, we see him doing the same thing with the name of Donald Trump.

The name 'Donald' indeed means "world leader" or, as some interpret, "proud chief," originating from Scottish roots, and this basic information can be found on any standard website listing name meanings. However, what is interesting is that Taylor wrote (or rather, "prophesied," claiming divine revelation) that the name 'Donald' carries a "spiritual connotation" (i.e. designation or implication) of the word "faithful," and though some might dismiss this as merely a "prophetic message," I knew that was not the case because I had already picked up on Taylor's method of so-called "interpretation," so I conducted internet research to investigate any connection between the name 'Donald' and the meaning "faithful."

I discovered a website making that connection, and upon examining its content, everything became clear. The site, "Seven Reflections," is a pagan spiritualist platform centered on tarot card readings, and if you think I am merely grasping at straws, keep reading, as we will uncover more instances of Taylor engaging in such witchcraft/divination practices.

On the site, under the name 'Donald', it said the name is connected with tarot cards 16/7 personality number, and then said:
"The number 7 is the most mystical of all numbers. Seven is the number of a Soul and symbolizes 'Spiritual Victory,' quest for higher truth. In silence, peace and self-examination we go toward perfection. In a criticism of others, suspicion, judgment, and sharp practice, we create our obstacles and difficulties. Sevens are highly intuitive. They have a reservoir of inspired wisdom combined with inherited analytical ability, which could reward them through expressions of spiritual leadership, business analysis, marketing, artistic visions, and scientific research. Operating on the spiritual side of their individuality can bring Sevens to the great heights, and drop them off if they neglect their true spiritual identity."
-Seven Reflections, "What Does Name 'Donald' Mean," retrieved Sept 29, 2022, [http://www.sevenreflections.com/name/donald/]

Some readers might think I am the one making the stretch because it did not specifically say "faithful," but remember that we can confirm with absolute certainty that Taylor did not get this from the Bible, and we know that this type "name divination" is normal operating procedure for witches, especially in things like tarot and astrology. Wiccan (i.e. modern-day paganism) interpretations are extremely loose on purpose because the ultimate goal is to convince the audience that what they are hearing is "spiritual" or "divine" concerning their own destinies, to give their lives some sort of special, self-glorifying purpose, and therefore, under the context of tarot and astrology, it is not some stretch to interpret "faithful" from this, depending on which pagan sites, books, or magazines Mark Taylor was reading to obtain this interpretation at the time.

Another website I visited said the name Donald was associated with the number 5 (in the pagan practice of numerology), and "vibrated" with the "traits of freedom, adventure and exploration," which is substantially different from the tarot explanation from Seven Reflections. Another site by 20-year veteran psychic/medium (i.e. a pagan and witch), said that the name Donald is associated with those who "possess great power and awareness," but also those who are "quiet, reserved, and shy," meaning that, as I just said, interpretations are loose on purpose because that allows such witches to be flexible to convince their audience that they are communing with some sort of beneficial spirits, when they are actually running a scam and communing with devils.
(See ifate, "The Name 'Donald': What it means, and why numerologists love it," retrieved Sept 29, 2022, [https://www.ifate.com/name-meanings/meaning-of-the-name-donald.html]; See also Karen Hyman, "Spiritual Meaning Of The Name Donald: Is It A Popular Name?" retrieved Sept 29, 2022, [https://www.spiritual-galaxy.com/spiritual-meaning-of-the-name-donald/])

But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils.
-1 Corinthians 10:20

I found another site that had 'Donald' listed under "spiritual connotation" as "faithful," and it was supposedly a 501c3 prison ministry that seemed to have stopped updates in 2023. The site had no explanations or references for why they connected 'Donald' to mean "faithful." I do not know much about what they teach, but I did find them teaching a false gospel on salvation, preaching against Biblical repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow of sins), and instead teaching men that they had to turn from their sins to be saved (i.e. a false, works-based gospel), which was unsurprising to me since they are obsessed with pagan superstitious name meanings in a vague, undefined "spiritual connotation."
(See Kairos Prison Ministry International, "Name Meanings," retrieved July 12, 2025, [https://www.mykairos.org/docs/kt/names_meanings.pdf]; See also "The Meaning of Repentance," retrieved July 12, 2025, [https://www.mykairos.org/docs/kpmi/Until%20We%20Come%20Back/The%20Meaning%20of%20Repentance.pdf]; Read There is No Saving Grace Without Repentance at creationliberty.com for details.)

Essentially, the only websites claiming a "spiritual" meaning for the name 'Donald' come from pagans who endorse psychics and mediums. If Taylor was genuinely delivering a "prophecy from God," why would he rely on pagan spiritualists for meaning? This marks the start of Taylor's descent into paganism and witchcraft through divination, which we will explore in greater detail in the next chapter.

The word 'trump' typically means "to get the better of," as found in most standard dictionaries, but the definition "to outrank or defeat someone or something, often in a highly public way" struck me as suspicious. It is unusually long and detailed for a name meaning, and I could not find it across various dictionaries and name-origin sites I searched, as single-word names are usually defined by only one or two words.

As I became familiar with Taylor's habits regarding his so-called "interpretations," I copied and pasted that exact phrase into a search engine and found a precise match on vocabulary.com (see image below). It was not part of the word's definition but appeared in an author's commentary at the top of the page. Clearly, Taylor copied that portion of the alleged "prophecy" from this site.

This raises curious questions: If this was a "prophecy from God," why would God rely on vocabulary.com, quoting anonymous authors for "divine" revelation? Also, after discovering this, how many times has Taylor plagiarized his "prophecies" from the writings of other authors?

(See vocabulary.com, "trump," retrieved Dec 13, 2022, [https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/trump])

It is ridiculous to believe God would depend on a man's commentary in an online dictionary to provide alleged "spiritual meaning" to His Word. Scripture demonstrates that God has never done this, has no need to, and such an act would glorify men, contradicting His Word. If Taylor was truly confident that this was a "word from the Spirit of God," why does he not openly admit he drew his interpretation from a modern vocabulary website? Obviously, admitting this would make him appear foolish. Thus, I am confident in declaring that God did not use Mark Taylor to interpret His Word through vocabulary.com, and this is merely a false prophecy leading people to trust in Taylor's lies.

Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.
-Jeremiah 28:15

In chapter four, we will examine Taylor's so-called "Army of God" comment in greater depth, as it originates from his new-age religious cult of false prophets and counterfeit apostles. For now, readers should recognize that he often uses such phrases in his prophecies. This is one of many elements in his broader deception, claiming to offer mere "opinions" on one hand, while appearing on an internationally broadcast CBN interview (the so-called "Christian" Broadcasting Network) to proclaim predictions about the "Army of God" as a prophecy:
"TAYLOR: I love what President Trump always said, he says 'You're going to get sick and tired of winning', if there is such a thing. And that's going to be the same way for the Army of God. There's going to be victory, after victory, after victory.
REPORTER: Will it be an eight-year presidency?
TAYLOR: Absolutely. Absolutely will.
REPORTER: You're sure about that?
TAYLOR: I'm sure about that."
-Mark Taylor, "He Prophesied Trump's Election in 2011 - 'Trump will Have a Second Term'," CBN News, May 13, 2020, retrieved Oct 26, 2022, [https://youtu.be/EhXwbcGSKJ8?t=184]

Again, I wrote the draft of this book in the fall of 2022, and at the time, I was confident that, God willing, Trump would have a second term, but that is NOT what Taylor was saying in that interview from May of 2020. The CBN reporter was asking Taylor a question shaped around his answer being a "prophetic word," and Taylor played along.

For instance, if I were preparing a sandwich and you asked if I would be eating a sandwich for lunch, I could confidently say "Yes," as that is within my ability to know, understand, and accomplish, without need to question my certainty since the evidence is obvious. However, if you asked whether everyone in town was having a sandwich for lunch, I could not provide a definitive answer without extraordinary knowledge beyond my grasp, and in that circumstance, if I still answered "Yes," it would rightly spark skepticism and demand an explanation, prompting a question like, "You're sure about that?"

So when the CBN reporter asked Taylor if Trump was going to have an eight-year presidency in May of 2020, she was asking Taylor if Trump was going to win the next election. Of course, no one can know such a thing for certain unless they have some sort of divine knowledge ahead of time, and since Taylor wants people to believe that he has powers of divine revelation, he took it upon himself to indirectly declare that he had knowledge of Trump's re-election in 2020, which did not happen (i.e. Trump "lost" the presidency in 2020 due to election fraud), proving once again that he is nothing more than a con man.

confidence man (n): a person who swindles others by means of a confidence game
(See 'confidence man', Random House Dictionary, 2022, [dictionary.com]; See also Collins English Dictionary, 10th Edition, William Collins Sons & Co, 2012)

Mark Taylor is a heathen confidence man who fools people into believing that he is a disciple of Jesus Christ and servant of God. I have no reservations about openly challenging a coward like Taylor on his understanding of the Gospel of Salvation (although he would never agree to a public debate with me on the subject), and I boldly declare that Mark Taylor is a worshiper and servant of Donald Trump because he worships the man as if he were a god.

For example, in a documentary about himself, Taylor said the following concerning his prophecy on Trump:
"So God's calling these people out. He said, 'You guys need to repent,' because, again, when you are praying against this man, you are praying against God's annointed. He has annointed this man. Period."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor Trump Prophecy Censored Film - The Remnant Rescue Documentary (Part 1)," America's Prophecy Update, Apr 22, 2021, retrieved Nov 22, 2022, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVDxYnrl6Wc]

Mark does not say that God is calling people to repentance of their sins, which is what the Bible tells us God desires for all men (2Pe 3:9), nor does he say that God is calling them to repentance for not serving Christ. In the eyes of Mark Taylor, faith has nothing to do with Jesus Christ and the remission (i.e. pardon/forgiveness) of sins, but rather, he thinks real faith has everything to do with worshiping Donald Trump.

During another interview, Taylor glorified Donald Trump as truth itself:
"[@31:13] They're trying to assassinate his character. They're trying to take him [i.e. Donald Trump] down to where he can't move forward into the destiny that God has for him, because he's [i.e. Trump is] the truth. He represents the truth, basically."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor and Chris Mcdonald," Prophetic Truth Network, Aug 9, 2022, retrieved Nov 25, 2022, [https://rumble.com/v1fega1-mark-taylor-and-chris-mcdonald.html]

Though Taylor's statement may shock some readers, by the end of this book, you will see that such statements from him are commonplace, often overlooked by his average listener due to his quick speech. This was not merely a slip of the tongue, as some might assume, because Taylor idolizes Trump as a god.

To make my position clear, Trump is neither the truth, as Taylor claimed, nor a symbol of truth, since Jesus Christ is the truth, as He told us:

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life:
no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
-John 14:6

Taylor foolishly gave Trump the descriptions reserved for the Lord Jesus Christ, but the worshipers of Taylor will argue that, in the context of the interview, Taylor was only referring to matters of political truth, not spiritual truth. However, if you listen to the entire interview before he made that statement, Taylor said there were direct parallels between the political and spiritual, and he made many references to that point throughout the video.

Taylor tried to backtrack the second it came out of his mouth that "[Trump] is the truth," because he immediately knew that would not go over well with some of his listeners. So he tried to clarify his meaning that Trump "represents the truth," but a representation, by definition, is something that stands in the place of the subject matter in question, meaning that Taylor believes that Trump IS truth itself because Trump is Taylor's messiah.

Furthermore, is it absurd to think that a man cannot "move forward into the destiny that God has for him" because another man is standing in his way. If God preordained for a thing to happen, then no man can stand in opposition to it unless God allows it, and if God allows it, then it was preordained for it to be delayed, which indicates that the Christian God of the Bible who we Christians worship is not the same "god" that Mark Taylor worships.

Worse still, when speaking about the election of Donald Trump in 2016, Mark Taylor said the following in an interview:
"[@17:45] It was incredible because God just performed one of the biggest miracles since the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as far as I'm concerned."
-Mark Taylor, "Full Interview: Trump Prophecy with Prophet Mark Taylor on COVID and 2020 Election," The Joe Padula Show, Dec 20, 2020, retrieved Nov 4, 2022, [https://rumble.com/vc1p9p-full-interview-trump-prophecy-with-prophet-mark-taylor-on-covid-and-2020-el.html]

The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is THE most significant moment in all of history, and apart from the return of Jesus Christ in Revelation (which is of equal importance), the sacrifice of Christ on the cross at Calvary is the greatest event in all of Scripture because nearly everything in the Bible points to Jesus Christ. In contrast, Mark Taylor believes that the election of Donald Trump as POTUS is an event that is climactically similar to the importance of the salvation of mankind through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, and if you are perplexed as to how Taylor could say something so monumentally idiodic, it is because Taylor is NOT a born again Christian—he only plays one on TV.


Now that we can confirm Mark Taylor does not worship the Christian God of the Bible, it becomes easier to see the evidence that he practices witchcraft through divination...
 


One of the odd things Taylor wrote about his "Trump prophecy" was his confession that he did not know if he was hearing God. Instead, he described an "odd sensation" that it was divine revelation:
"It wasn't by the inspiration of man, but by the inspiration of God that my spirit tingled with anticipation. From out of the blue, I started to discern an odd sensation of certainty, as if I were about to be told something that had already been solidly ordained in the spiritual realm. It was more than a mere 'sensing' of incoming revelation--it was a 'knowing.'"
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 3-4, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW]

This description is confusing. Was it a "sensation" (via a feeling) or "knowing" (with knowledge)? There is no such thing as a "sensation of knowledge," yet Taylor tried to sell this idea to his readers.

This fits his typical strategy: presenting things as "special revelation" while keeping them vague enough to avoid accountability for definitive claims. By doing so, he coneals his fraudulent nature and maintains his influence.

This approach is strikingly similar to the testimony of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon cult, who claimed his testimony and vision were true because he felt a "burning in the bosom"—a sensation in his heart that allegedly allowed him to "know" things. Mormons tell people to read Smith's corrupt documents (e.g. The Book of Mormon, The Pearl of Great Price) and try to "feel" if they are true. They encourage seeking these "sensations" of so-called "truth" instead of doing research and investigation—the method we use to verify the Word of God.
(Read "Corruptions of Christianity: Mormonism" at creationliberty.com for details.)

For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
-Galatians 6:3-4

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
-1 Thessalonians 5:21

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
-Romans 12:2

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool:
but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
-Proverbs 28:26

The Word of God does not instruct us to rely on feelings as the basis for truth. Rather, God commands us to test matters with evidence. He requires us to study the Scriptures to understand them and compare that knowledge with worldly observations to discern the truth. This is why the Bible teaches that the righteous diligently study to address such matters:

The heart of the righteous studieth to answer:
but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
-Proverbs 15:28

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
-2 Timothy 2:15

Unlike Joseph Smith, Mark Taylor faces the issue we identified in chapter one: he was taking Zoloft and experienced "odd sensations," a common side effect of the drug. He claimed he knew it was "by the inspiration of God," yet described it as an "odd sensation" that he "discerned," and therefore, his testimony is unreliable at best, as it was almost certainly induced by the drug.

In addition to these issues, many are unaware that Mark Taylor has practiced a form of witchcraft known as "divination" for many years. Before I explain what divination is and how Mark Taylor has relied on it, I will quote Taylor from an interview on The McFiles, a program hosted by new-age religious cultist and false preacher Christopher MacDonald. In the interview, Taylor attempts to deceive his audience into believing he opposes divination:
"There are prophets and prophetesses all over the world that are high level psychics, masquerading as prophets and prophetesses and prophetic voices. They're operating in divination! They're operating in channeling! They're getting channeling from powers and principalities, and they're skewing it, making it sound like that they're telling the future, when in fact they are not!"
-Mark Taylor, "How to Spot a False Prophet," The McFiles, Dec 24, 2020, retrieved Oct 26, 2022, [https://youtu.be/mqtkY7VJ58w?t=215]

I opened this chapter with that quote to demonstrate that Mark Taylor is a blatant liar who deliberately deceives his audience about his identity and actions. By the end of this chapter, you will clearly see that Taylor is channeling "from powers and principalities," "skewing" his interpretations, and presenting himself as divinely foretelling the future, when in reality, he is not.

And they caused their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire, and used divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke him to anger.
-2 Kings 17:17

Divination is a form of witchcraft where individuals attempt to commune with spirits to gain insight into events beyond their knowledge. In heathen and pagan cultures, divination is divided into two types: natural (i.e. through inspiration or supposed divine knowledge) and artificial (i.e. through rituals, experiments, or natural observations, such as the waxing moon or bird migrations).

divination (n): the act of divining; a foretelling future events, or discovering things secret or obscure, by the aid of superior beings, or by other than human means; the ancient heathen philosophers divided divination into two kinds, natural and artificial. Natural divination was supposed to be effected by a kind of inspiration or divine afflatus; artificial divination was effected by certain rites, experiments or observations, as by sacrifices, cakes, flour, wine, observation of entrails, flight of birds, lots, verses, omens, position of the stars, etc.
(See 'divination', American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster, 1828, retrieved Aug 23, 2022, [webstersdictionary1828.com])

For instance, in eastern cultures, a person might notice a crack forming in their tea mug and interpret it as an "omen," a sign of impending misfortune. These are foolish pagan superstitions, but few recognize that they stem from the practice of divination, which seeks supernatural knowledge through belief in subtle communications with spirits.

Taylor frequently uses divination. In his book, he wrote:
"I sat down at my desk and continued to write. A moment later, I was interrupted by yet another loud thud. After a second or two, the sound became rhythmic again, a constant beat of the fighting birds hitting against the window of my office. At that point, I thought it was pretty strange... The whole thing was very reminiscent of a scene that might have been written into Alfred Hitchcock's The Birds. I suspected that either God was going to reveal something important to me, or the enemy was trying to obstruct me from writing."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 188, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW]

As we can see, Taylor frequently seeks omens to guide his path, just like superstitious pagans. However, Taylor is worse than pagans in this regard. As pagans at least consistently treat a bad omen as such, while Taylor keeps omens ambiguous—open to being good or bad. This allows him to reinterpret omens as "correct" once he gains more information, making it easier to deceive people into believing he is a "prophet."

In Taylor's book, on page 68, Mary Colbert (as you might remember from the last chapter, who co-authored The Trump Prophecies with Taylor and is the wife of Don Colbert, Taylor's physician) described how Taylor learned of his Trump prophecy. She explained that he used the names of winning horses in derby races to interpret messages from God (i.e. divination), and when Mary tried this same divination technique, the winning horse's name was "Creator," which she interpreted as a message from God that Taylor's prophesies and methods were all legitimate.
(See Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 68, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW])

If you found that foolish, you are not alone. Superstitious people are gullible, and typically hate sound wisdom. Some, like Mark and Mary, lead the willfully ignorant, manipulating them to produce more gullible fools. This is standard operating procedure in the New Apostolic Reformation, of which Taylor and the Colberts are members, and we will explore this further in the next chapter.

Mark and Mary engage in a practice that God condemns as an abomination in His sight, indicating His utmost hatred for it, which is not to be taken lightly. Those lacking the discernment of the Holy Spirit willingly follow vain and deceptive divination, falling prey to devils who exploit them.

They have seen vanity and lying divination, saying, The LORD saith: and the LORD hath not sent them: and they have made others to hope that they would confirm the word.
-Ezekiel 13:6

And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.
-2 Timothy 2:24-26

Please note that this precisely matches the definition of divination: foretelling future events and uncovering secret revelations from spirits via observation of society and nature. This is not an isolated case. Taylor does this repeatedly, as do nearly all modern-day, so-called "prophets."
(Read False Prophet Profiles: Kim Clement here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

On page 109, Taylor states that he listened to Trump's announcement of his presidential candidacy on June 16 and began researching major historical events for that date. He discovered that the first test detonation of a nuclear bomb occurred on June 16, 1945, and, without explaining his methods, interpreted this as a divine prophecy of a "shot heard round the world."
(See Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 108, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW])

Think about it: How can you verify whether Mark Taylor's claims are true or false? I am not referring to the historical data, but to the supposed divine significance between these two events. The answer is that you cannot. You cannot prove a spiritual prophetic connection exists between the two dates, nor can you prove there is not.

However, a much more important point is that this is not a prophecy at all. Many churchgoers call this "prophesying," but they use that term in the sense of foretelling future events and revealing secrets. The reality is that Taylor's "shot heard round the world" comment is not predicting any future event nor reveals any secret thing.

This is what the Bible refers to when talking about learning the ways of the heathen, and how they look to the signs of heaven to gain alleged spiritual insight:

Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
-Jeremiah 10:2

For example, heathen look at the position of the sun, moon, and stars in the sky, and react to them with spiritual interpretations and religious rituals. Church buildings all over the world participate this type of heathen activity, despite the fact that the Lord God has always hated these practices. They include witchcraft high holidays such as Samhain (pronouned sao-win, which most churchgoers know as "Halloween"), Yule (which most churchgoers know as "Christmas"), and Ostara (which most churchgoers know as "Easter")—all abominations in the sight of God.
(Read "Halloween: Are Christians Lovers of Death?", Christmas: Rejecting Jesus, and "Easter: Abomination in Disguise" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

When Taylor assigns spiritual significance to a major event occurring on the same date in different years, he is actually emphasizing the positions of the sun, moon, and stars at that time of year. For instance, if I ate a muffin on June 16 and Donald Trump ate a muffin on June 16, does that imply a spiritual connection between us? The notion is absurd and laughable, yet it mirrors pagan practices. Christians ought to remain vigilant and steer clear of any man who claims to follow Christ while engaging in divination.

Claming ambiguous spiritual significance on the same day as a historical event is ridiculous, and anyone can easily replicate it. For instance, it was October 4, 2022 when I wrote this paragraph, and I used this date to fabricate the same type of so-called "prophetic" interpretations that Mark Tayor uses in his scam operation. I struggled to write these examples with a straight face. I hope readers find them as amusing as I did because they are merely a joke—just like Taylor's divination. This shows how quickly this practice becomes absurd—which is part of divination (i.e. a form of witchcraft that God hates)—anyone can transform anything into a "prophetic message" from "the Spirit of God."

Not only does Taylor practice this absurdity, he teaches others to do it as well. In his book, Mary Colbert testified that she greatly desired to receive the "prophecies" of God like Taylor did.

Please note that Mary did NOT look to the Lord God to hear His voice. She said that she prayed to God to be a prophet, but she did not wait for an answer; instead, she looked to Taylor to give her this power, attempting to discern his methods and use them for her own benefit:
"Mark had kept in close touch with Don and me while all this was taking place, and I remember several times he mentioned that God has used horse races to communicate specific details to him of things to come... through my talks with Mark, it had gotten into my head that God might use that arena as a means of revealing something to me."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 68, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW]

This is no different than Simon the socerer, a false convert who got baptized and followed the apostles around because he wanted power. Simon wanted the gifts of the Holy Ghost by purchasing them from men, instead of looking to the Lord.

Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee.
-Acts 8:19-22

Remember that the definition of "artificial divination" from Webster's dictionary included "observations, as by sacrifices, cakes, flour, wine, observation of entrails, flight of birds, lots, verses, omens, position of the stars, etc." This is precisely what Taylor describes in his book: using the names and "positions" of horses to divine a message from God.

This is never instructed by God anywhere in the Holy Scriptures. No Christian should be doing this because it is mysticism:

mysticism (n): a doctrine of an immediate spiritual intuition of truths believed to transcend ordinary understanding
(See 'mysticism', Random House Dictionary, 2022, [dictionary.com]; See also Collins English Dictionary, 10th Edition, William Collins Sons & Co, 2012)

Mary decided to watch the Kentucky Derby that weekend to see if she would find a "message from God," but forgot to watch the race:
"I figured I would look it up anyway, just to see what the results were, so I headed to my computer and set my brower to Google. I typed in "Churchill Downs," and the very top news headline blew me away. CREATOR WINS BY A PHOTO FINISH! 'Oh my gosh,' I said to myself... 'Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Father God. Thank you so much for that message this morning. The Creator wins! You've got this!'"
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 69, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW]

Colbert's interpretation was not only vague and custom-fit to her desires—it was also entirely useless. This is a prime example of the absurdity of those who practice divination. Some corrupt churchgoers who endorse this sinful practice might claim it is edifying to hear a "message from God" proclaiming His victory, but the Bible already declares His victory in clear, understandable language, without any need for superstitions and religiosity:

So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
-1 Corinthians 15:54-57

We know Mary Colbert's divination is based on emotion rather than truth, but even if it were true, it would be not only superfluous but unnecessary. In Mary Colbert's eyes, the Bible holds little importance because she seeks signs and miracles elsewhere. Jesus indicated that Mark and Mary pursue these things because they are wicked of heart and chase after spiritual fornication:

A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
-Matthew 16:4

Mary continued to put her own spin on the word "Creator" to tie it together with Mark's so-called "prophecy." After all, since she co-authored the book with him, they had to make it sound legitimate to sell more copies:
"You're in control of this political race. You're going to win this, and Your victory is going to be displayed for all the world to see! Thank you for this reassurance!"
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 70, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW]

What reassurance? What message? How did she derive this from a single word? This is what I want readers to understand: It DOES NOT MATTER what the horse's name would have been because Mary would have interpreted it however she wanted.

The horse's name could have been "Satan," and she would have said, "Thank you Lord! You've shown me that Satan would win for a time, but that you will triumph over him!" The horse's name could have been "Cookies," and she would have said, "Thank you Lord! You've shown me that you are bringing sweet and wonderful things to us!"

We could take the winning names of horses from the Kentucky Derby through the era of Trump's presidency and create a so-called "prophecy" by interpreting the words however we want. In fact, let's do that so you can see how easy it is. Here are the winners over four years, starting in 2015 and going through 2019: Practitioners of witchcraft, like Mark Taylor, will then use their heathen, mystic divination to present their "prophetic voice." They might say:
"We have an American Pharoah, Barack Obama, in office (in 2015), and through the use of Nyquist (i.e. signal processing discrete sequences) to discern the prophecy of God in these names, we can see that Trump kept us Always Dreaming in order to Justify our fight against the Deep State, and to improve our Country's House."
Ladies and gentlemen, that is how easily such nonsense is produced. I gathered this information and wrote it, including the interpretation, in roughly ten minutes.

If I were part of that new-age cult and shared this, they would hail me as a "prophet of God," granting me great honors. Diviners adept at marketing this trash amass fortunes from gullible churchgoers who ignore God's Word.

For the idols have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie, and have told false dreams; they comfort in vain: therefore they went their way as a flock, they were troubled, because there was no shepherd.
-Zechariah 10:2

As I continued reading Taylor's book, I was unprepared for what I encountered next. I wrote this mock "prophetic word" about the Kentucky Derby before I read the following section, so I can assure you I did not copy from this. I never imagined that Taylor would use the exact same mock example, and it serves as an excellent demonstration of his fraud.

Taylor dubbed this "The Great Horse" Prophecy, and I kid you not, this is what he said he "received from God" while watching a horse movie. He began with a claim that God declared, "There's another one coming, there's another one coming! It's a horse! That's right, a horse!"
(See Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 105, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW])

Taylor claimed he received this "prophecy" while watching the movie Secretariat, which centers on a racehorse of the same name. (It is fortunate he was not watching The Little Mermaid, or this prophecy might have become even more bizarre.) If you study Scripture, how many instances can you find where God spoke to His prophets through worldly entertainment?

While reading his book, one glaring red flag about Taylor was his unsupported comments about the Bible. For instance, to justify his "Great Horse Prophecy," Taylor stated:
"God speaks to everyone in imagery that they can understand. In the Bible, He often uses horses to illustrate what will come next."
(See Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 105, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW])

First of all, the claim that "God speaks to everyone in imagery that they can understand" is outright false. I am not saying God never uses imagery we can comprehend—He has in many cases—but rather, God speaks to people in a language they can understand, often employing imagery that is beyond our immediate grasp.

For instance, Nebuchadnezzar needed God to send Daniel to interpret the imagery of his dream. (Dan 2:5) If the imagery was something Nebuchadnezzar could automatically understand, then he would not have needed Daniel.

I have studied the Bible for many years, yet I do not claim to be an expert, acknowledging that much of the Bible remains beyond my current understanding and requires further study. (1Co 10:12) However, in all my years of learning, I cannot recall frequent instances of "horse prophecies," so to ensure I had not overlooked anything, I consulted our church, where members diligently study their Bibles, and they also could not recall or find any significant instances of such prophecies.

Outside of the white horse in Revelation 6:2 or the red, speckled, and white horses of Zechariah 1:8, I cannot recall any instances of something that might be labeled a "horse prophecy." Taylor specifically stated that horses were used to "illustrate what will come next," but he is not referring to horses being mentioned in Scripture in general; he means they were used as prophetic symbols. Perhaps I missed one or two examples, but the problem is that Taylor claimed God "often" (i.e., many times) used "horses" in prophecy, and that would mean we should see this at least once or twice in nearly every book of the Bible.

often (adv): many times; frequently; in many cases
(See 'often', Random House Dictionary, 2022, [dictionary.com]; See also Collins English Dictionary, 10th Edition, William Collins Sons & Co, 2012)

This is a clear instance of Mark Taylor blatantly lying to justify his own ideas. This should serve as a clear warning to avoid his teachings, especially for newer Christians who may struggle to discern when Taylor is being deceitful. If he is willing to make such obviously false claims to make people think he is knowledgeable about Scripture, it begs the question: what other lies might he be telling?
(Read "God Does Not Justify Lies" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.
-Proverbs 6:16-19

Getting back to Secretariat, there is a particular reason that Taylor emphasized this horse in his prophecy, and he explains it in more detail:
"Hello brothers and sisters in the Lord. I wanted to share something with you I believe will be an encouragement to the Body of Christ, which the Lord led me to do back in 2011. I will keep this short. Prophet Paul Keith Davis always spoke of how the horse Secretariat represented the end-time Church. Well, while watching the movie (Secretariat), I kept hearing, 'There's another one coming, there's another one coming.' I then sat down to listen and write what the Lord was saying."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 107, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW]

This indicates that Taylor has long adhered himself to false prophets like Paul Keith Davis and learned divination techniques from them. Davis taught Taylor his brand of "horse divination." This makes more sense to me, because I do not consider Taylor crafty enough to have come up with this on his own.

I could write an entire book exposing the false teachings of Paul Keith Davis (who claims to regularly visit heaven) and revealing his close ties to other false prophets like Bob Jones. Jones allegedly visited heaven during a lunch break with the televangelist and adulterer Todd Bentley (who is infamous for claiming he kicked an elderly woman in the face to "heal" her), along with many other corruptions I will not mention here.
(Read Christian Music: For the Love of Money at creationliberty.com for details.)

This brings us to a crossroads. I intend to keep this book focused on Mark Taylor, but these connections clearly show Taylor's involvement with diviner televangelists in new-age cults such as the Charismatics, Pentecostals, and Apostolics.

Again, Taylor used "American Pharoah" in his prophecy, but he approached it from a slightly different angle than I did in my mock example. Taylor wrote:
"American Pharoah broke Secretariat's time in the last turn, quarter mile: a sign that we are in the last turn coming into the home stretch toward the finish line... Well, it has happened, the Triple Crown, and I believe this was our sign for the American Church. (American Pharoah)."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 108, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW]

It should be noted that American Pharoah did NOT beat Secretariat's time in the Triple Crown. He only ran the last quarter-mile of the race a bit faster. As of my last check in 2022, Secretariat still held the overall Triple Crown record. The Wall Street Journal published a side-by-side video comparison showing that Secretariat was far superior. Taylor was therefore hinging his so-called "prophecy" on the name of an overall slower horse, based on the timing of only one quarter of a single race—an absurdity that is difficult to put into words.
-Wall Street Journal, "American Pharoah vs. Secretariat: Who Would Win?" June 9, 2015, retrieved Dec 20, 2022, [https://youtu.be/eT50hQINVrI]

It is strange for someone to interpret 'Pharaoh' as "the Church," but as I mentioned earlier, those who practice divination (psychics, mediums, etc) often make predictions that cannot be proven or disproven. When they offer illogical claims without explanation, they call the spiritual realm "mysterious"—similar to the corrupt Catholic and Orthodox religions excusing away their heresies by calling them "mysteries." Their statements are deliberately vague: lacking enough detail to be disproven, yet providing just enough for listeners to project their own meanings onto them and consider them "true."
(Read Corruptions of Christianity: Orthodoxy at creationliberty.com for details.)

For instance, suppose I claimed to receive a "vision from the Lord" declaring that the turkey sandwich I eat for dinner tomorrow will be a special, spiritual turkey sandwich, granting me a blessing to preach an important message this week. How could you prove that this was fulfilled, or disprove it, that it was not fulfilled?

Whichever position you take (fulfilled or not fulfilled) depends entirely on your preconceived beliefs. If you already believe I preach the truth, you would accept that the turkey sandwich spiritually blessed me, but if you believe I am a minister of Satan (as many of Mark Taylor's followers do), you would conclude I am a false prophet because the sandwich brought no blessing. In either case, both conclusions are nothing more than conjectures based on presuppositional bias. Such a prophecy is unnecessary. If you simply listen to what I preach and compare my words with the Word of God—as Christians should—you do not need grandiose, feel-good, cotton-candy prophecies (all fluff, no substance) to discern the truth of my teachings. Likewise, by examining the doctrine and philosophy of those who claim to be prophets and comparing their words with the Bible, we can easily discern the truth and expose their lies, which is why you will find that modern prophets hate contextual interpretation of the Holy Scriptures.

And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
-Acts 17:10-11

Mark Taylor uses feel-good divination messages in a variety of ways, including the corrupt practice of numerology that I mentioned briefly in the last chapter. I covered the deceptions of numerology much more thoroughly in another teaching here at creationliberty.com called "Numerology is Occult Divination," so check that out if you want to learn more.

In his book, on page 108, Taylor pointed out that American Pharoah's number was 5, which he claimed was significant:
"The word pharoah means Great House; Royal Palace. He [the horse] had the number 5, which is grace and redemption. The winning time was 2:26, which I believe is Revelation 2:26... The jockey was from a 12-child family, and was the 12th Triple Crown win. 12 means God's government (will be established upon the earth)."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 108, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW]

If any readers are curious about where in the Bible Taylor derived the notion that the number 5 signifies "grace and redemption," they will be left disappointed. He provides no explanation. Taylor keeps quiet on this because he did not obtain it from the Bible and prefers his listeners remain unaware of that fact.

Please note that the Bible never assigns general spiritual meanings to numbers for the purpose of interpretation. This includes the number 666, which has no spiritually defined significance in Scripture; it is merely the number the final antichrist will use to represent himself. (Rev 13:18) All so-called "divine" or "spiritual" interpretations of numbers originate from pagans and false prophets who practice heathen divination and mysticism. Heathen ascribe their own meanings to numbers based on subjective assumptions so they can convince people they have uncovered hidden knowledge through childish grade-school math.

Since we have already established that Mark Taylor uses internet search engines to interpret his so-called "prophecies," I searched for people who claim the number 5 represents "grace." Unsurprisingly, most of the top results came from psychics, mediums, numerologists, and tarot card readers, which should tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about Mark Taylor: he is a pagan parading himself as a "Christian."

Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy [a way of thinking] and vain deceit [useless lies], after the tradition of men, after the rudiments [first teachings you learn] of the world, and not after Christ.
-Colossians 2:8

One search result from Planet Numerology claimed the number five holds great significance because the "Ten Commandments can be divided into two, where the first five commandments talk about the relationship between man and God, and the last five about people's relations with others." Yet, if you read Exodus chapter 20 in the Bible and examine the Ten Commandments yourself, you will see that the Fifth Commandment, which they assert pertains to the "relationship between man and God," actually instructs us to honor our father and mother, a matter of "relationship with others." Therefore, in most cases, what these websites claim about the Word of God is demonstrably false.
(See Planet Numerology, "Biblical Meaning of Number 5: Numbers That Hold Massive Significance," retrieved Oct 6, 2022, [https://planetnumerology.com/biblical-meaning-of-number-5])

A woman named Christin, a self-proclaimed third-generation psychic and medium, offers the same pagan "grace" explanation for the number 5 as did Planet Numerology. She also adds interpretations from Hinduism and Buddhism:
"Within Hinduism, the number five is considered a symbol of the physical body. It also represents earth, as the earth is the fifth of the five great elements... In Buddhism, the number 5 is symbolic of the hand. Our hands have five fingers (including the thumb), just as our feet have five toes."
-Christin, "A Guide to Understanding the Number 5," February 24, 2020, retrieved Oct 6, 2022, [https://www.christin-medium.com/number-5]

This proves that anyone can vaguely assign any interpretation to a number, ultimately serving no purpose beyond creating a feeling of spirituality. I found countless pages making the same claims, all from websites promoting corrupt religions and demonic ideologies. This is divination, witchcraft, and silly superstitions, and Mark Taylor walks on thin ice with God by peddling this garbage in the holy name of Christ.

Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
-Acts 17:22

Therefore thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that prophesy in my name, and I sent them not, yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land; By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.
-Jeremiah 14:15

Taylor also noted that American Pharoah's "winning time was 2:26" and added, "which I BELIEVE is Revelation 2:26." He emphasized a cherry-picked line from that passage—"to him will I give power over the nations"—implying it was a spiritual sign for Donald Trump. This ignores the fact that the power over the nations Christ promised to His elect in Revelation 2:26 is the saving power of the Gospel, not ruling authority in government (which comes afterward), and it is certainly not referring to any individual man in a position of ruling authority.

On what basis does Mark Taylor "believe" that the winning time of a horse is referring to a cherry-picked line in a verse of Scripture? To my knowledge, he never provides that information to his audience.

Of course, none of this makes sense because Taylor is simply jumping to conclusions based on his presuppositional bias. For example, why did he not assume the horse's winning time referred to Jeremiah 2:26?

As the thief is ashamed when he is found, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their princes, and their priests, and their prophets,
-Jeremiah 2:26

Though I have already clearly proven Taylor's numerological divination, it is still worthwhile to raise this question because it reveals his pagan ideology. He avoided Jeremiah 2:26 because it lacks the feel-good appeal and directly shames men like Mark Taylor. God condemns lying prophets in that passage, especially the money they gain by manipulating people through deceit—a form of theft, the very crime Taylor commits by spreading his lies.

He also noted that the horse's jockey was born into a family of 12 children and won the 12th Triple Crown, which led Taylor to assert that 12 signifies "God's government," linking it to Trump as the 12th Republican candidate to enter the presidential race that year. The note he added in parentheses raised my suspicions: "12 means God's government (will be established upon the earth)." Once again, I questioned where Taylor derived the idea that 12 represents God's government. The Bible contains no such teaching, and Taylor provides no references or details. This strongly suggests it comes from the same pagan sources he does not want the public to know about.

By this point, we can clearly recognize Taylor's tendencies, and once again, I opened a search engine and typed in "number 12 represents government." Most readers will be unsurprised that I received a laundry list of psychic, medium, astrology, and tarot card websites.
(See "Numerology is Occult Divination" at creationliberty.com for details.)

Going back to Planet Numerology, they claim that because the number 12 appears in various places throughout the Bible, it is "a symbol of perfection, completion, and government." For example, they argue that 12 represents government because of the 12 tribes of Israel, which is comical because there were technically 13 tribes of Israel—they forgot about Ephraim and Manasseh.
(See Planet Numerology, "Meaning of the Number 12 in the Bible: the Purpose of These Messages," retrieved Oct 7, 2022, [https://planetnumerology.com/meaning-of-the-number-12-in-the-bible])

Of course, God's Word never makes any such declarations about these numbers, so the claim made by these astrology websites have no evidentiary foundation or reasoning to support them. Pagans like Mark Taylor follow their silly superstitions because they do not take God's Word seriously, instead applying their own perceived "spiritual" meanings to these things without God's approval while hypocritically speaking in His name.

However, that was not enough for Taylor. He needed more evidence, so he decided there were "prophetic signs" in the names of American Pharoah's bloodline:
"Some of the names in American Pharoah's bloodline—Empire Maker, Star of Goshen, Lord at War, Unbridled, Image of Reality, General, Key to the Kingdom—if these aren't prophetic signs then I don't know what is."

This is a rare instance where I agree with Taylor: he clearly does not understand what a prophetic sign is. Note that he said "SOME of the names," indicating he selectively chose only the ones he deemed prophetic while disregarding the rest.

Some names Taylor did NOT include were Castle Eight, Storm Cat, Storm Bird, Mercuriale, Yankee Gentleman, and Little Princess Emma, because he knew crafting a "prophetic" explanation for them would be challenging. Taylor, aware of his deception, understands he cannot market a "spiritually prophetic" lineage by including names like Jester, Bad Seed, and Sex Appeal—all part of American Pharoah's bloodline that he conveniently forgot to mention.
(See Pedigree Online, "American Pharoah," retrieved Oct 7, 2022, [https://www.pedigreequery.com/american+pharoah])

Taylor cites additional false prophets to bolster his claims, endorsing "Elijahlist.com," a platform for networking false prophets. The site promotes Lance Wallnau, whom I exposed for his false doctrines and prophecies in my book Psychology: Hoodwinked by the Devil, where he teaches the heresy that Daniel in the Bible was a psychic. It also promotes Kim Clement, whom I exposed in my book False Prophet Profiles: Kim Clement, where he taught the heresy that one need not be born again to be saved. (John 3:7) Their website endorses many more false prophets and deceptive preachers, and Taylor adheres to the doctrines of these corrupt and greedy men.

If any spirit is speaking to Mark Taylor, it is a demonic spirit of divination, and I have provided abundant evidence of that fact in this chapter. Jesus Christ NEVER taught us to look for divine meanings and secret messages in names. If you look hard enough and twist and distort information long enough, you can make anything mean whatever you want—and that is exactly what Taylor has done.

As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest [twist, distort], as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
-2 Peter 3:16

Mark Taylor borrowed from astrologers, psychics, and other false prophets like Paul Keith Davis to concoct his own version of a "divine message." I found it interesting that Taylor—while "prophesying" about Secretariat—emphasized the horse's accomplishments (a number of national derby wins) but not the name, while Mary Colbert—while "prophesying" about Creator—emphasized the horse's name but not its accomplishments, because there was not much to talk about with that horse, demonstrating once again their cherry-picking methods to craft a narrative.

As I just said, in Mark and Mary's pagan world, anything can be interpreted however they desire. In their minds, there is no way to prove they are false. They are both pridefully admiring their own self-perceived beauty without first looking in a mirror.

For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
-James 1:23-24

They are hearers of the Word of God, but they are not understanders of it; therefore, they are not doers of the Word because they have no concern for the things of God. Do not misunderstand—they serve the god of their own hearts and are very concerned with how they feel, but they have no love for the Christian God of the Bible.

But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.
-Matthew 13:23

The fruit of Mark Taylor and Mary Colbert is rotten, and it should be a very clear warning sign for any born-again Christian to discern. As we move into the next chapter on Taylor's corrupt doctrine, it will not be hard to see why he participates in these hopelessly circular occult practices.

Now that we have seen Taylor's divination, let's look at his statement one more time to see how he deceives his audience:
"There are prophets and prophetesses all over the world that are high level psychics, masquerading as prophets and prophetesses and prophetic voices. They're operating in divination! They're operating in channeling! They're getting channeling from powers and principalities, and they're skewing it, making it sound like that they're telling the future, when in fact they are not!"

To Mark, I say: This is one of the few times I am going to agree with you when it comes to spiritual matters. There are indeed fake Christians who parade themselves as so-called "prophets," even though they practice divination, while fooling churchgoers into following their corrupt ideologies, and you, Mark Taylor, are a primary example of that which you hypocritically rebuke.

In a staggering display of willful blindness, Mark Taylor claimed he was in full agreement with an article on a particular website, and he quoted from it:
"[@41:40] They turned a blind eye and a deaf ear, and joined forces with the dark side, for a platform, fame, and money. They call that which is evil 'good', and good 'evil'... Would Jesus say, 'It's okay to mix witchcraft, new-age, and Christianity to further my kingdom', and call it 'revival'?... [finishes quoting the article]... That right there sums it up, pretty much to me. That is where the church is at, and where they're going, and who they are serving, and don't even—they can't see it, and they can't hear it. Why? Because they've taken the characteristics of the god they serve."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor and Chris Mcdonald," Prophetic Truth Network, Aug 9, 2022, retrieved Nov 25, 2022, [https://rumble.com/v1fega1-mark-taylor-and-chris-mcdonald.html]

That is why Taylor deceives his audience. He has taken on the characteristics of the god he serves:

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
-John 8:42-44

Mark Taylor practices that very witchcraft and new-age ideology in all that he "prophesies" and teaches, yet he has the nerve to accuse others of the same sin in overt hypocrisy. This is why Jesus told us to judge with righteous judgment and not as hypocrites—which means we must first look inwardly and examine ourselves:

Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
-John 7:24

Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates? [reprobate is one given over to his sin]
-2 Corinthians 13:5

Many false teachers have preached that we should not judge because of what Jesus said in Matthew 7, however, He did not tell us to abstain from judgment. He rebuked hypocrites for judging others before first judging themselves.

Everyone instinctively judges people and things daily. Those who claim "You should not judge" often hypocritically turn around and condemn me as evil for speaking the truth. Jesus instructed us to judge one another, but only after first holding ourselves to the same standard, because the judgment we apply to others will also be applied to us:

Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.
-Matthew 7:1-5
(Read "Unbiblical Cop-Outs: 'Don't Judge Me!'" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

In his doctrine, Mark Taylor is one of the biggest hypocrites I have ever witnessed. He practices witchcraft and adopts new-age doctrines while criticizing others as evil for doing the same. He cannot see the pagan forest for the pagan trees, which demonstrates his extraordinary willful ignorance. The true church of Christ has never turned to witchcraft and new-age doctrine, but corrupt churchgoers certainly have turned to them—and Mark Taylor is one of them: a hypocrite who has taken on "the characteristics of the god he serves."

Now that we have seen Taylor's witchcraft, let's analyze his new-age doctrines...
 


By the time you finish this chapter, you may be astonished that Mark Taylor has any audience at all, but we must recognize that pagan ideology is rampant across the world—and sadly, much of America today—far more than the average person may want to acknowledge. This stems largely from most churchgoers holding up the Bible only when it suits them, for the sake of pretense, while regularly engaging in pagan rituals and embracing pagan ideology in their willful ignorance. They fiercely attack anyone who dares speak the truth which contradicts their preconceived ideas, and this explains Mark Taylor's appeal to a relatively broad audience within the Apostolic cult.

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
-John 10:4-5

One of the first strange things I noticed about Taylor's website (outside of the over-the-top, cringe-worthy visuals) was that alongside the prophecies available for download as PDFs, he also listed "prayers" that could be downloaded. I want readers to consider this carefully: If you prayed to the Lord, what need would you have to write it down word-for-word and make it available for others to download?

The only reason someone would write down and publish their private prayer is so others can read and use it. It does not take much discernment to see that Taylor listed these downloadable prayers alongside his "prophecies" because he wants people to think they were written by "the Spirit of God." This is nonsensical. A prayer is simply a humble request to the Lord; it is a contradiction for God to request something of Himself.

I am not arguing that God does not help guide the words of men at times. Of course, He does, otherwise, we could not trust the Bible. Even Jesus, who is God, prayed to God, which was an example to us of how we should pray and trust in the Lord, but in Taylor's case, it was done under false pretenses, as we will soon learn.

The following is the entirety of Taylor's "Scrambling the Enemies' Radar" prayer:
"Father in the name of Jesus we ask that you would release your warrior angels and heavenly hosts. We decree and declare that they would take us off the enemies' radar and scramble the enemies' frequencies (airwaves). Your kingdom must come now, your will must be done right now as in the heavens also on the earth. Amen."
-Mark Taylor, "Scrambling the Enemies' Radar," Sord Rescue, July 25, 2017, retrieved Oct 27, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/07-25-17_scrambling_the_enemies_radar_prayer.pdf]

If you find it strange that Taylor prays about enemy radars and frequencies, I agree—it is rather odd, however you may not yet know that Taylor believes Satan emits frequencies into the atmosphere. He believes these Satanic frequences alter people's DNA and force them to hate Donald Trump, and if you think I am exaggerating, I will provide the quotations in chapter seven.

The Lord Jesus Christ taught that hypocrites love to pray publicly to be seen and admired for their perceived "righteousness." While public or collective church prayer is not wrong (Mat 18:20), Jesus instructed us to pray in secret as individuals. Mark Taylor's error is glorifying himself by creating downloadable prayers for others to recite, as if they were spell-casting incantations of witchcraft designed to counter "Satanic frequencies."

And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
-Matthew 6:5-6

The second problem is the "repeat-after-me" type of prayer because this contradicts the commandments of Christ, namely, that we ought not to pray such things in vain repetition as the pagans do in their witchcraft rituals:

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
-Matthew 6:7

(See Mark Taylor, Sord Rescue, retrieved Oct 27, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com])
Heathen believe that reciting a special ritualistic prayer invokes power from the spiritual realm—a key part of casting magic spells. This is exactly why Taylor's prayers are written out and offered for download, and he believes this heathenistic repetition will grant unseen spiritual benefits. This further proves he is a fake Christian, and as we will learn, he has long practiced such ritualistic incantations.

Taylor believes you must pray special types of prayers for them to be effective, but Jesus never rebuked His disciples for praying ineffectively.

In his book, Taylor rarely speaks of himself in the third person, but he did so occasionally. It gave him an opportunity to proclaim his self-glorifying, heathenistic name "Shakina Kami"—or, as he interpreted it in full, the "Beautiful One Whose Desires Are Fulfilled, and in Whose Life the Lord Dwells with the Divine Wind of Providence." Concerning his first meeting with Don and Mary Colbert, he wrote:
"But the divine wind of providence was already blowing in Shakina Kami's life, because my restoration was only a tiny piece of the puzzle the Creator was putting together when He led me to the Colberts."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 45, ISBN: 9780998142678

Taylor went on to talk about his belief that he was experiencing "demonic oppression," and I believe him on that point—though my reasoning differs from his. Taylor mimics the practices of witches, and if you play devilish games, you win devilish prizes. What he said next is quite revealing if you pay close attention:
"I had prayed both alone and with great spiritual leaders, and I had gained the counsel of numerous reputable dream interpreters and theologians... but the attacks just kept on."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 45, ISBN: 9780998142678

Taylor admitted to consulting numerous "dream interpreters" of great reputation, known in the Bible as astrologers, magicians, and soothsayers, but more commonly recognized today as psychics and mediums, some of whom are churchgoers practicing divination. He also reached out to what he called "theologians," who are actually members of the New Apostolic Reformation—a cult overflowing with mystics and heretics.

Daniel answered in the presence of the king, and said, The secret which the king hath demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the king;
-Daniel 2:27

Taylor then said that demonic oppression against him continued, despite all his prayer:
"Everything I could be doing on my end, including pleading the blood of Jesus over everything in my life and calling upon His name while I was awake, was my standard practice."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 45, ISBN: 9780998142678

I offer a warning to Christians to be extremely cautious if someone preaches to you or prays with you by invoking "the blood of Jesus over everything." Please note that in my teachings in this ministry, both audio and written, I have never said such a thing. If someone did this around me, I would correct them, but if they rejected the correction, I would distance myself.

The Bible teaches that the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ cleanses the sins of mankind, but only for those granted repentance (i.e., grief and godly sorrow for wrongdoing) and faith (in God's grace and Christ's payment on the cross) for the remission (i.e. pardon/forgiveness) of sins:

And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
-Luke 24:46-47

Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God, And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
-Mark 1:14-15

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
-1 John 1:7

However, the blood of Jesus is NOT a magical cure-all witchcraft incantation. Praying "the blood of Jesus" over your dishwasher will not fix it. Praying "the blood of Jesus" over a broken leg will not mend it.

This reflects the pagan witchcraft ideology found in Catholic cults, where they believe saying hocus-pocus over wine transforms it into literal human blood, which—similar to vampires—they believe they can drink to gain eternal life. They also believe they can recite incantations over water to create "holy water" with magical properties—a form of witchcraft the Bible calls enchantments.
(Read Corruptions of Christianity: Catholicism & Corruptions of Christianity: Orthodoxy here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
-Deuteronomy 18:10

The more Taylor writes, the more his witchcraft practices are exposed through his words. Countless Taylor supporters have accused me of being evil for saying this, claiming no one can know a man's heart, but Jesus Christ taught that we can discern a man's heart by what comes out of his mouth:

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
-Matthew 15:18

Churchgoers endlessly regurgitate the same phrase, "you can't know what's in a man's heart!" This is because they reject what Jesus taught. They claim to be Christ's disciples, yet rarely, if ever, study His Word, and even when they do, they often show little interest in understanding or believing it.

What Taylor wrote next demonstrates his willful blindness to his corrupt, unregenerated soul:
"Ever since the dream I'd had when the Lord told me to drop my fists and enter His brand of warfare, I had made daily attempts to fight against these dark visitations in another way, but in these dreams, conflicts still turned physical between myself and the demonic aggressor in self-defense, because I couldn't seem to call out in my sleep. It was like those dreams wherein people try to call for help and they open their mouths and nothing comes out."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 45, ISBN: 9780998142678

I have heard testimonies from various individuals saved from paganism, Satanism, and witchcraft, each sharing a similar account despite having no connection or knowledge of one another. They all described devilish spirits restraining them and preventing their speech, commonly known as "demonic possession."

The major problem with Taylor's statement is that someone with the Holy Spirit dwelling in them CANNOT be possessed by demons. All the testimonies I referenced described events that occurred BEFORE their conversion, but the difference is that Taylor claimed this happened to him AFTER his conversion.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God,
and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
-1 Corinthians 3:16

It is impossible for the Holy Spirit of God and demons to coexist within the same temple, which is why no devils are in heaven. Thus, if Taylor experienced demonic possession, as his testimony clearly suggests, the only conclusion is that he did not have the Holy Spirit, and since one cannot be a Christian without the Holy Spirit, it is evident that Taylor was not, and is not, of Christ.

And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand: And if Satan cast out Satan, he is divided against himself; how shall then his kingdom stand? And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by whom do your children cast them out? therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
-Matthew 12:25-28

Taylor then said he contacted a "generational deliverance ministry," and after some investigation, I discovered it to be a corrupt group of pseudo-Christians who blend new-age witchcraft and divination with man-made churchianity traditions. They believe in generational curses within families—which is partially true, since God declared it. (Exd 20:5) However, being born again in Jesus Christ frees a person from such curses. (Heb 13:5, Rom 8:28) Despite this, these "generational deliverance ministries" insist on rituals, ceremonies, and hocus-pocus to remove curses, mirroring the practices of Eastern witchdoctors, and I delve deeper into that subject in my book Psychology: Hoodwinked by the Devil.

Taylor stated that a woman named Melissa Leggett taught him a doctrine he endorsed:
"Melissa explained that although we can cleanse our own personal sins through prayer, it does not cleanse the sins that have been committed before us in our familial lineage."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 46, ISBN: 9780998142678

Taylor is willfully blind to the fact that both he and Melissa denied the Lord Jesus Christ, and he clearly embraced this doctrine, or he would not have followed the process she claimed was necessary to "cleanse [his] sins." Most churchgoers think denying the Lord Jesus Christ requires explicitly saying "I deny Jesus," but denial of Christ involves rejecting His Gospel of Salvation, whether verbally or in the heart, and by adhering to principles that contradict Christ's salvation, it is equivalent to denying Him.

Again, as I quoted at the beginning of the chapter, Jesus told us that Christians will follow Him, not the voice of strangers:

And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
-John 10:4-5

And why call ye me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?
-Luke 6:46

If prayer could cleanse sin, it would have been pointless for Jesus Christ to come down from His throne, die on the cross, and save us—anyone could simply pray their sins away. Prayer is a humble request to God. Men pray to plead for Christ's mercy and salvation, but it is not the prayer itself that saves—only God's grace through the saving blood of Jesus Christ redeems us from our sins.
(Read "The Biblical Understanding of Prayer" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

Anyone who claims that prayer cleanses sin is promoting a works-based doctrine of false salvation, rejecting the price Jesus Christ paid on the cross at Calvary. It substitutes rituals in place of repentance and faith for the grace of justification in Christ. This is no different from a "repeat-after-me" prayer (often called the "sinner's prayer"), vainly recited countless times in church buildings by those without repentance, making it utterly useless.

For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened [made alive] by the Spirit:
-1 Peter 3:18

But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
-1 John 1:7

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
-Ephesians 2:8-9

Not only did Melissa teach Taylor a works-based false doctrine of prayer to cleanse sins, she also taught him that the children of God bear personal responsibility for the sins of others—a lie from the devil. The people who run these fake so-called "ministries" love to quote Exodus 20:5 to justify their pagan beliefs:

Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
-Exodus 20:5

They claim that if your grandfather hated God, then you are held accountable for his sins until you perform their hocus-pocus prayer rituals. However, in their haste to justify these pagan practices, they ignore the very next verse:

And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
-Exodus 20:6

For a man who loves the Lord Jesus Christ and obeys His commandments (to love God with all our heart and mind, and to love our neighbors as ourselves — Mat 22:37-40), God extends mercy not only to that man, but to thousands of generations afterward—far more than the 6,000 years of this world's history. Heretics disregard God's mercy, feigning understanding while claiming the blood of Jesus covers them, but they have never come to repentance or truly known Him, which is why they cherry-pick Scripture and persist in pagan superstition.

Then Paul stood in the midst of Mars' hill, and said, Ye men of Athens, I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
-Acts 17:22

Taylor wrote that his family's Freemason background was the source of his curses. Freemasonry is certainly demonic, as I covered in my exposé, Freemasonry: A Luciferian Beacon. My grandfather was a 32nd-degree Freemason, yet the Lord God showed me mercy, granting me repentance and faith. When I was born again in Jesus Christ, He cleansed my spirit of all sin, and despite my many foolish choices, He guided and protected me like a father to a child; in other words, through His mercy (Exd 20:6), I was spared the sins of my fathers.

All men are responsible for their own sins, not the sins of others, and all those who have been born again in Christ have their sins remitted. Mark Taylor does NOT believe that, and therefore, he has no faith in Christ.

Why did God abandon Taylor to the whims of the devils possessing him? Because Taylor does not trust in the Christian God of the Bible. His platitudes to Christ are lip service only. Instead, he placed his faith in a false god he calls "Donald Trump," who could not save him, leading Taylor to resort to other forms of witchcraft.

God gave Taylor over to his reprobate mind, to do those things which are inconvenient:

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
-Romans 1:28

As noted earlier, Mark Taylor adheres to a religious movement known as the "New Apostolic Reformation." For readers unfamiliar with this cult and its beliefs, we must briefly outline their heresies to better understand the context of Taylor's other failed prophecies, which we will address in the next chapter.

On a public radio show, Taylor talked about his alleged first "spiritual visitation" from God, and he admitted to attending Apostolic church buildings:
"I was going to an Apostolic church at the time, and a friend of mine had been a dream interpreter—a certified dream interpreter."
-Mark Taylor, "Full Interview: Trump Prophecy with Prophet Mark Taylor on COVID and 2020 Election," The Joe Padula Show, Dec 20, 2020, retrieved Oct 28, 2022, [https://rumble.com/vc1p9p-full-interview-trump-prophecy-with-prophet-mark-taylor-on-covid-and-2020-el.html]

It logically follows that if a man is learning from Apostolics, he will adopt Apostolic beliefs and habits. There is much that could be said about Apostolics, but I will keep this brief to stay focused on Taylor and his false prophecies.

The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a group of pagan heretics who reject adherence to Scriptural doctrine. They hold up a Bible only when it suits their emotions or can be twisted to fit their preconceived beliefs. Instead, they assign arbitrary spiritual significance to their personal feelings, opinions, and experiences. Their ideology elevates fake apostles and false prophets above pastors, teachers, and evangelists. They claim that since the 1980s (for some arbitrary reason), God has been "reforming" the church by raising so-called "seer prophets" and "miracle workers" to lead churchgoers into a new era of reshaping the world, purifying it, and ushering in Jesus' return for a new spiritual kingdom on earth.

In the minds of NAR adherents, Adam's fall was not only due to sin but also because he supposedly lost dominion over the earth. (This is a false claim, since mankind has retained God-given dominion over earthly matters since the creation. Gen 1:28) They believe Christ's sacrifice on the cross was intended to empower Christians to reclaim this allegedly lost dominion. NAR leadership consists of false prophets who offer vague, easily reinterpreted predictions, and fake apostles who stage counterfeit miracles and promote these prophets—all to seize control over education, media, economics, and especially government.

NAR author Doug Geivett defined the New Apostolic Reformation as follows:
"The New Apostolic Reformation, or NAR (pronounced NAHR), is a new religious movement led by men and women who claim to be prophets and apostles. They claim they have authority and functions akin to those of the Old Testament prophets and Christ's apostles. All Christians are expected to submit to their leadership and receive their new revelations. In this way they plan to form the church into a miracle-working army. This army will transform society and prepare the way for God's kingdom to be established on earth."
-Doug Geivett, "God's Super-Apostles: An Interview with Doug Geivett," Biola University, Apr 29, 2015, [https://www.biola.edu/blogs/good-book-blog/2015/god-s-super-apostles-an-interview-with-doug-geivett]

Recalling earlier chapters where I quoted Mark Taylor, you may remember how often he mentioned "the Army of God" and referred to God as the "Supreme Commander [of a] spiritual army." With a basic understanding of the NAR, it should now be clear why Taylor uses these terms: the NAR believes they are an army of churchgoers destined to conquer the world and prepare it for Christ's return to rule over it.

This is in direct violation of the Word of God because Jesus said his kingdom is not of this world, and therefore, churchgoers trying to create a kingdom on earth is heresy:

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
-John 18:36

However, Mark Taylor ignores Christ's doctrine and continues to blindly plow his field of insanity, and we can see his corrupt ideology clearly reflected in his words. The following is an excerpt from Taylor's "Defeated Enemy" prophecy, written in January 2016:
"The Spirit of God says, 'There is nothing that the enemy can do to stop this that I the Lord God have started, for it is now time for the army of darkness to be departed. For the souls of this nation and all over the world are crying out to me. My Army! Bring them in, and I will save, deliver, and comfort thee. Arise! Army of God! Arise! Your work is not complete, for the kingdom of darkness is in for its biggest surprise, complete and utter defeat! Arise! My Army! Get in the fight, I say with great emphasis! Over take, terminate, and destroy the Army of darkness with Extreme Prejudice!"
-Mark Taylor, "Defeated Enemy," Sord Rescue, Jan 28, 2016, retrieved Oct 26, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/01-28-16_defeated_enemy.pdf]

If we look to the Word of God, we can clearly see that Jesus Christ never commanded any of this. Thankfully, the book of Revelation tells us how things end; without it, I fear far more people would fall for the NAR's lies. Christ's apostles and prophets did not tell us that Christians would defeat Satan's system in this world—only Jesus Christ can do that.

Then said the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah; The LORD hath not sent thee; but thou makest this people to trust in a lie.
-Jeremiah 28:15

The Lord Jesus Christ did NOT say that a bunch of new genuine prophets would emerge in the final days; rather, He warned of many FALSE prophets and false christs who would perform great signs and deceitful wonders, so convincing that, if possible, they could deceive God's elect. Thanks to the wisdom and understanding granted by the Holy Spirit, we, the born-again disciples of Christ, will not be deceived in that day.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
-Matthew 24:24

Mark Taylor's doctrine is entirely absent from the teachings given to us by the Holy Ghost in the New Testament Scriptures. This is why NAR adherents often ignore God's Word and instead follow the emotions of their foolish and wicked hearts. It is also why, in personal conversations, these religious cultists respond with hatred toward me when I cite these verses to them:

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.
-Jeremiah 17:9-10

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool:
but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
-Proverbs 28:26

They direct their hatred at me, but I know it is not me they truly hate. It is the Lord Jesus Christ they despise, as they lack a love for the truth of His Word, offering only hypocritical lip service to Him in their church buildings for pretense of righteousness.

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
-John 15:18

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
-2 Thessalonians 2:10

Churchgoers often refuse to judge themselves and reject righteous judgment altogether because they despise it. (John 7:24) Men tend to hate any judgment that condemns their words and actions. This stems from their rejection of the truth, namely that for Christians, the Word of God is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.

Let's look at several names of individuals associated with the NAR. Some readers may recognize them; others may not. For clarity, I will list them here to show the scope of the heresies taught within this religious cult.

The following people were all invited to speak at the Apostolic Alignment Ceremony of 2008, and this is but a very tiny number of those who have adopted this ideology. They include, but are not limited to, Charles Peter Wagner, Stacey Campbell, Bill Johnson, Che Ahn, John Arnott, Georgian Banov, Wesley Campbell, Chuck Pierce, Doris Wagner, Bill Hamon (who ordained Kim Clement), Barry Boucher, Michael Maiden, Sharon Stone (not the actress), Joshua Fowler, Karl and Steve Strader (father/son), Rick Maiden, Clarice Fluitt, Jeff Beacham, Rick Joyner, and Todd Bentley.

As a side note, readers should be aware that major political figures in the media have yoked themselves with these NAR heretics. For example, In the early 2020s, churchgoer (i.e. not a Christian) Charlie Kirk (now deceased, sadly, after being assassinated by an extremely wicked left-wing lunatic) hosted "faith conferences," and several of the people on this NAR list were keynote speakers, because Kirk had no concern about the Gospel of Salvation, nor of proper Scriptural understanding.
(See Creation Liberty Evangelism Rumble Channel, "Charlie Kirk's FAKE 'Faith' Conference," July 31, 2024, [https://rumble.com/v598osl-charlie-kirks-fake-faith-conference-7-31-24-creationliberty.com.html]; Note: Though Kirk was not officially a Catholic, he was married to a Catholic woman, he prayed the rosery, and willingly participated in antichrist Catholic masses; See Richard Horrell, "Erika Kirk, Catholic and Turning Point USA, and the Road Ahead," Catholic 365, Sept 22, 2025, retrieved June 3, 2026, [https://www.catholic365.com/article/53830/erika-kirk-catholic-and-turning-point-usa-and-the-road-ahead.html])

For those familiar with Todd Bentley's heresies, as well as his unbiblical antics—notably his claim of imparting the "Holy Spirit" by kicking an elderly woman in the face—you may recall the notorious 2008 Apostolic Alignment Ceremony video, in which men anointed his head with oil while he convulsed and collapsed. Off-camera, Bentley was using drugs and engaging in extramarital affairs with multiple women—paying them to stay silent—while mainstream "Christian" media downplayed it as simply a "pattern of immoral conduct."
(See Bob Smietana, "Todd Bentley Investigation Finds 'Steady Pattern' of Immoral Conduct," Jan 3, 2020, retrieved Oct 25, 2022, [https://www.christianitytoday.com/news/2020/january/todd-bentley-charismatic-preacher-investigation-misconduct.html]; See also Creation Liberty Evangelism YouTube Channel, "Heretic Bill Johnson Ordaining Todd Bently," Oct 8, 2020, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m8ee6Ffnpy4])

By the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, I boldly declare that anyone with a long-term association with these individuals is NOT a Christian. No born-again Christian who studies and honors God's Word, with the Holy Ghost dwelling in his spirit, having a firm foundation of repentance laid in his heart, could remain in these corrupt so-called "ministries" for even a year or two without seeing serious problems. New Christians might initially be drawn in by their charismatic speech, but those with the Holy Spirit will not stay, because these groups deny the Word of God as the final authority in all matters of faith and practice—though they will never openly admit it.

I will return to Mark Taylor soon, but first I want to provide clear examples of the NAR's covert rejection of the Bible. This will help readers understand the beliefs that Taylor conceals from his audience. False preacher Bill Johnson of Bethel Church in Redding, California, summarized the NAR heresies well:
"For centuries the people of God have gathered together around specific truths. Denominations and organizations have been formed to unite these groups of Believers. Having common belief systems has helped to build unity within particular groups and define their purpose. Historically these groups were formed from people who were usually newly saved, or were asked to leave whatever denomination they were previously a part of.
Unity based on common doctrines has a measure of success. But there is an inherent problem with this approach - unity of this nature is based upon uniformity. When God is saying something new, those who are listening are usually asked by their leaders to leave the group they were a part of. Their newfound convictions and beliefs are considered threatening and divisive.
If the whole group doesn't move in step with what God is saying, there will be a break in fellowship. When agreement in nonessential beliefs are considered necessary for fellowship, then division is natural and to be expected. While doctrine is vitally important it is not a strong enough foundation to bear the weight of His glory that is about to be revealed through true unity."
-Bill Johnson, "Apostolic Teams - A Group of People Who Carry the Family Mission," Elijah List, retrieved Oct 21, 2022, [https://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word/7083]

To understand the vile heresy Bill Johnson propagates, we must first see that the NAR rejects Scripture's doctrines as the foundation for faith. Their faith hinges on the charismatic emotions of their leavened preachers (akin to Joseph Smith's "burning in the bosom" in Mormonism), and the so-called "visions" and "dreams" of their false prophets.
(Read "Corruptions of Christianity: Mormonism" at creationliberty.com for more details.)

NAR adherents claim the Word of God is a relatively good book, but they less openly admit they view the Bible as an outdated revelation. They assert that their "new revelations" deserve greater devotion than Scripture's doctrines. This mirrors false prophetess Ellen G. White, founder of Seventh-day Adventism, who believed her prophecies surpassed the Bible in importance—a new-age heresy that becomes clear when closely examining Bill Johnson's words.
(Read Corruptions of Christianity: Seventh-day Adventism at creationliberty.com for more details.)

Johnson began by stating that denominations were "formed to unite these groups of believers," which is false. As expected, Bill's view is backward because he aligns with worldly perspectives. Denominations are entirely unbiblical. Paul condemned such divisions in First Corinthians. While I do not deny that genuine born-again Christians have attended denominational church buildings, believing they were doing the right thing, the true Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has always avoided denominations because they were never instituted by Christ or His apostles.
(Read "Denominations Are Unbiblical" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

The second important note about Bill's statement is that he was hyper-focused on UNITY instead of TRUTH. This explains why he claimed that "unity based on common doctrines has a measure of success." He placed emphasis on commonly shared beliefs (which could be anything), subtly steering people away from the truth of Scripture's doctrines as the core foundation of the church.

The only way Christians can be united is under the truth of God's Word, because unity without truth is just deception under mob rule. Lies tend to initially make people feel better, and thus, they will adhere to a lie more often than not, which is why the majority is often wrong.

Some may argue that Jesus Christ is the church's core foundation, and I agree, but we must remember that Jesus Christ and the truth of His Word are one and the same. If we reject God's Word, we also reject Christ, who is God:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word
was with God, and the Word was God.
-John 1:1

Heaven and earth shall pass away:
but my words shall not pass away.
-Luke 21:33

Bill goes on to say that adherence to the doctrines of Scripture is "an inherent problem" because it requires "uniformity." Let's make sure we understand what that word means:

uniform (adj): identical or consistent; without variations in detail
(See 'uniform', Random House Dictionary, 2022, [dictionary.com]; See also Collins English Dictionary, 10th Edition, William Collins Sons & Co, 2012)

I will counter Bill Johnson's opinions with the Word of the Living God. He told us that the church should be uniform in mind and heart—consistent in our philosophy (i.e. our way of thinking) in Christ:

Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
-Philippians 1:27

If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any bowels and mercies, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind.
-Philippians 2:1-2

Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:
-1 Peter 3:8

Bill's teaching contradicts Scripture, yet he emphasizes unity, which demands a degree of uniformity, as unity requires people coming together under a common banner. Thus, the critical question is: If not the Bible, under what banner is Bill Johnson seeking to unite everyone?

In contrast, I ask readers to consider: Under what banner should Christians unite? Should it not be the Bible? Unlike Bill Johnson, who pursues uniformity under his feelings, opinions, dreams, visions, and "new revelations" as a NAR guru, we Christians seek uniformity under the Gospel of Jesus Christ, preserved in His Word, specifically the King James Bible, which I believe English-speaking Christians should study.
(Read Why Christians Should Study The King James Bible here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

Let me put this another way: Neither we Christians nor those in the NAR have seen the Lord Jesus Christ in person or spoken with Him face to face. We are therefore relying on evidence to understand His philosophy and doctrine. We Christians rely on the Bible to give us the doctrine of Christ, while NAR adherents rely on their own feelings and call them "Jesus." In short, they are heretics who believe the Holy Spirit is equivalent to their feelings.

Bill gives us more hints to his true underlying beliefs when he says, "common belief systems has helped to build unity within particular groups and define their purpose." This is deceptive. If he had simply said that "common belief systems has helped to build unity" and stopped there, I could have agreed depending on the context, but when he added "within particular groups," Bill's new-age ideology is revealed, whether he realized it or not.

It is true that people unite under similar belief systems—this can be seen in governments, families, friendships, and every other area of life. In those contexts, much of what Bill said is true. So what is the problem? The problem is that we are talking about the Word of God and the doctrines of the Holy Spirit, which tell us THE truth; not a truth. Since there can only be one truth, Christ's true church—once it acknowledges the truth of God's Word—will automatically be united under that truth with understanding, without any need for slick speeches.

Bill seeks to unite people under "versions" of truth—or, more simply, under lies. He aims to gather all who "feel" they are of God, but most in this world reject the humility of repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow for wickedness) and often refuse to acknowledge they have sinned and come short of the glory of God. (Rom 3:23) Therefore, they follow this new-age "Apostolic Reformation" (or similar religious cults like Pentecostals and Charismatics) that makes them feel righteous and holy by their works.
(Read There is No Saving Grace Without Repentance at creationliberty.com for details.)

All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes;
but the LORD weigheth the spirits.
-Proverbs 16:2

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes:
but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
-Proverbs 12:15

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man,
but the end thereof are the ways of death.
-Proverbs 14:12

Bill's final paragraph in the prior quote demands careful scrutiny, particularly when he states, "If the whole group doesn't move in step with what God is saying, there will be a break in fellowship." This is generally true, much like how the devil mixes a bit of truth with his lies before deceiving us.

Bill continues to say that "when agreement in nonessential beliefs are considered necessary for fellowship, then division is natural and to be expected," and this is the core issue: he never clarifies what he means by "nonessential beliefs." Without clear guidance from the Holy Scriptures, division is inevitable—unless a cult guru like Bill Johnson comes along like a pied piper to lead people away from the Bible's rules and toward his own.

Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD.
-Jeremiah 17:5

We Christians know there are minor disputes that are not biblically essential (e.g., whether or not to eat meat, whether or not to use electricity, etc), but remember that the NAR focuses on new-age "prophets" and so-called "apostles" to give "new revelation." What Bill considers "nonessential beliefs" are therefore anything that contradicts the "new revelations" he and his associates produce—including parts of the Word of God. Ultimately, they will throw out, or simply ignore, any verses in the Bible that contradict their positive, feel-good messages received by the "new revelations" from their false prophets.
(Read "Johnson's Notes on the Book of Romans - Chapter 14" here at creationliberty.com for more details on the subject of "doubtful disputations.")

This is why Bill ended by saying, "While doctrine is vitally important it is not a strong enough foundation to bear the weight of His glory that is about to be revealed through true unity." This subtly reveals his true meaning. According to the NAR, the "weight of His glory" refers to their "new revelations" from false prophets and false apostles, like Mark Taylor for example. Bill distinguishes these from mere "doctrine." Putting this altogether, NAR adherents believe the unity of their movement carries more spiritual power and wisdom than the written Word of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. If you want to know why these NAR adherents are so irrational in their communications and refuse to listen to even the slightest shred of evidence, it is because of their corrupt faith. When you preach the doctrines of the Lord Jesus Christ to them, they view it as a DIFFERENT GOSPEL from what they believe, so they reject it without question.

This might surprise some readers, to the point that they may not believe what I am saying, but I will let NAR false prophet Bill Hamon (the man who ordained false prophet Kim Clement, another false prophet that Mark Taylor supports), and false prophet Oral Roberts (who claimed he saw a 900-foot tall Jesus), tell you about their belief that they have MORE power than the Holy Spirit:
"The office of the prophet is designed and endowed to function in a higher realm of ministry than the Holy Spirit's gift of prophecy. This gift of prophecy operates within the saints or a minister for the general upbuilding, encouraging, and comforting of the Church. But the office of prophet is authorized and anointed to do much more."
-Bill Hamon & Oral Roberts, Prophets and Personal Prophecy: God's Prophetic Voice Today, Destiny Image Publishers, 2011, ISBN: 9780768491043

Some of you might think these people simply have a few screws loose, but I disagree. While they certainly make crazy statements, the point I want to drive home is that these men are WICKED in their hearts. They are full of sin and have never come to the humility of repentance so the Lord Jesus Christ could open their eyes and heal them.

For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.
-Matthew 13:15

I would not waste my time writing a book to expose someone's stupidity. All men are stupid at times, depending on the subject matter. I would only spend my time writing a book to expose evil, and the false prophets of the New Apostolic Reformation are evil.

This brings us back to false prophet Mark Taylor, who is heavily involved in the New Apostolic Reformation and has held these beliefs for a very long time. He followed the false teachings of these men for many years before he ever wrote down his first supposed "prophecy." Taylor was never saved because he trusted in the false, new-age "jesus" of ecumenical cults instead of coming to godly sorrow for his sins and placing faith in the Jesus Christ of Scripture.

Michelle Moore, a podcaster and new-age "life coach," worships Mark Taylor. Though she does not openly admit that, she appears to embrace NAR cult doctrine, thereby giving divine honors to Taylor. Taylor has appeared on her show more than on any other that I could find.

A documentary titled The Remnant Rescue was produced, likely due to Moore's involvement. Although no credits explicitly link her organization, she has featured it as a "Special Presentation" on her channel and promoted it heavily on social media, strongly indicating collaboration with Taylor.

In the documentary, when speaking about children who are trafficked, Taylor presupposed they need a "deliverance ministry" to heal them:
"Where are we going to send the kids that we pull out of child trafficking? Sex trafficking? Where are you going to send these kids to get deliverance? The church? The church system? These guys aren't doing deliverance. They don't even speak on deliverance."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor Trump Prophecy Censored Film - The Remnant Rescue Documentary (Part 1)," Apr 22, 2021, retrieved Nov 8, 2022, [https://youtu.be/NVDxYnrl6Wc?t=3600]

Keep in mind that when Taylor says "deliverance," he is NOT referring to the deliverance of Jesus Christ that saves mankind from sin—Taylor could not care less about that. He is referring to performing witchcraft rituals on children to "deliver" them from the NAR's alleged "generational curses," which he likely believes were implanted by their traffickers.

I want readers to take note that, in his documentary, Taylor does not express ANY concern that these children would hear the Gospel of Salvation in Jesus Christ. Instead, he only expresses his belief that the children should be taken to the NAR witches of "deliverance ministries" so they can learn pagan ideologies.

Also in the documentary, Melissa Leggett, the same "deliverance minister" that Taylor promoted in his book, taught the corrupt doctrine of the New Apostolic Reformation:
"I believe that God is looking for a righteous heart. He's looking at the heart condition of a person. He's not looking for their perfection. He's not looking for how beautiful you speak, or what you do as far as being successful. He's looking for the righteous heart right now. I believe he is blessing those people. I believe there's things coming for the righteous people on the planet that we're going to be taking over some of these leadership positions. There's going to be things coming down the road."
-Melissa Leggett, "Mark Taylor Trump Prophecy Censored Film - The Remnant Rescue Documentary (Part 1)," Apr 22, 2021, retrieved Nov 8, 2022, [https://youtu.be/NVDxYnrl6Wc?t=2546]

Melissa speaks presumptuously on behalf of God by saying that He is not looking for perfection, despite the fact that He said He does:

And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect.
-Genesis 17:1

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
-Matthew 5:48

This is meant in terms of charity and mercy; not flawlessness, as many pastors erroneously teach:

Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
-Luke 6:36
(Read "The Biblical Understanding of Perfection" at creationliberty.com for more details.)

Notice that Melissa said that she BELIEVES God is doing these things, but she does NOT say that God SAID He was going to do these things. This is because these people do not follow the Word of God; they adhere only to their NAR false prophets and fake apostles.

I would agree that God looks at the heart, but the problem with the NARs is that they believe themselves to be righteous because they believe their ways are right in their own hearts. NARs (including Melissa and Mark) do not heed the Word of God:

And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.
-Luke 16:15

Again, NARs believe the feelings of their hearts are equivalent to the Holy Spirit. They have never received the Holy Spirit for understanding because they refuse to come to repentance—godly sorrow of their sins. They consider such messages "negative" and avoid such messages like the plague, which is why they have never been born again in Jesus Christ.

Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
-Revelation 3:17

This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
-Matthew 15:8

Jesus was pointing out hypocrites like the NAR adherents, who give Him lip service when it suits their agenda but, in their hearts, could not care less about Him. If they truly cared about what Jesus Christ had to say, they would study His Word and abide by His wisdom instead of crafting lies and claiming they came from "the Spirit of God."

In her willful blindness, in addition to the faith she puts in her emotions, Melissa goes on to say that God is looking for the righteous heart. That is true, but not in the way Melissa describes. The only people in this world who have righteousness are those who have Christ's righteousness imputed to them through the Holy Ghost's gifts of repentance and faith.

As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
-Romans 3:10-12

Men cannot achieve righteousness on our own because we are corrupt and fallen. The Lord God does NOT need us; rather, it is we who need Him. Righteousness can only be GIVEN to a man by the grace of Jesus Christ; no works or vain repetitious prayers from false prophets can help a man attain it.

And therefore it [i.e. faith in the mercy of God] was imputed to him [i.e. Abraham] for righteousness. Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was imputed to him; But for us also, to whom it shall be imputed, if we believe on him that raised up Jesus our Lord from the dead; Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
-Romans 4:22-25

impute (v): to charge; to attribute; to set to the account of
(See 'impute', American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster, 1828, retrieved Nov 9, 2022, [webstersdictionary1828.com])

In direct contradiction to the Scriptures, Melissa claims that some on earth are righteous of themselves, promoting the false narrative of an Apostolic utopia. Neither Melissa nor Mark heed the warnings given by the Holy Ghost in His Word. We are not destined for television broadcasts praising so-called "prophetic words," nor to establish a peaceful world ruled by Apostolics. Instead, God has told us that evil men and seducers (like the Apostolics) will grow worse and worse, and Christians will face severe persecution for preaching the truth:

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
-2 Timothy 3:12-15

In numerous interviews, Taylor has branded us Christians as "doom and gloom" preachers for not delivering the happy-go-lucky, feel-good message he prefers, which is completely nonsensical. I preach what Jesus Christ preached: that Christians will gain eternal life with Him in the peace and joy of the Kingdom of God, free from sorrow and pain forever, but in this fleeting life, we will endure much persecution and tribulation from those who hate us.

Mark Taylor rejects the Biblical message because he is the stony-hearted false convert described in the parable of the sower, who is offended by tribulation and persecution:

But he that received the seed into stony places, the same is he that heareth the word, and anon with joy receiveth it; Yet hath he not root in himself, but dureth for a while: for when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, by and by he is offended.
-Matthew 13:20-21
(Read "Jesus Said There Are Many False Converts" at creationliberty.com for more details.)

anon (adv): quickly; without intermission; immediately
(See 'anon', American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster, 1828, retrieved Nov 9, 2022, [webstersdictionary1828.com])

And these are they likewise which are sown on stony ground; who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with gladness; And have no root in themselves, and so endure but for a time: afterward, when affliction or persecution ariseth for the word's sake, immediately they are offended.
-Mark 4:16-17

Church buildings all over the world are filled with stony-hearted false converts, drawn to the "love, joy, peace, happiness" message because it feels good. They embrace it quickly, but when faced with the reality of affliction, persecution, and tribulation, Mark Taylor and his NAR cult take offense, they abandon the Word of God for fake, feel-good religion, and they have woven a net to ensnare as many foolish churchgoers as possible.
 


Mark Taylor's failed prophecy concerning Donald Trump is not an isolated case. False prophets rarely stop at one prediction. To maintain their status and notoriety, they must continually produce more so-called "prophecies." They churn out numerous predictions, hoping some will stick as "true," while others can be vaguely interpreted to seem accurate. By emphasizing only cherry-picked phrases that appear to have come true, their many glaringly false prophecies eventually fade from memory.

As I stated in this book's introduction, the Lord God has declared that any man who claims to be His prophet and delivers a prophecy proven false is a false prophet:

But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
-Deuteronomy 18:20-22

I have heard Taylor frequently caution his listeners against over-analyzing his prophecies, which is nothing more than a tactic to shield himself from criticism and discourage Christians from using discernment to expose his lies and fallacies. I openly welcome scrutiny of my own writings and readily acknowledge my fallibility as a mere man. Mark Taylor, however, claims to speak in the name of the Lord God (i.e. "the Spirit of God says"); a claim that puts a wrench in the gears of his plan. If he asserts that he speaks the words of the Almighty God—who is incapable of error—then Taylor's words demand the same rigorous examination as the Holy Bible itself.

Paul wrote his epistles by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and he told the Corinthians to judge what he wrote:

I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say.
-1 Corinthians 10:15

In this passage, the Holy Spirit instructs us to judge even the words of the Holy Spirit. If the infallible God graciously allows feeble men like us to discern His Word, then you should have no problem examining the Scriptures and comparing them to what I write in this book. Therefore, Christians ought to do the same with Mark Taylor's words, but if you blindly accept his claims without investigating them, you are a fool.

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
-Acts 17:11

We have a duty to our Lord Jesus Christ to judge the words spoken by preachers. It is our responsibility to discern whether they are true words or deceptive ones that lead people away from the truth of Christ.

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
-1 Thessalonians 5:21

Unlike Taylor, who hides like a sniveling coward from his critics, I encourage you (if you have the desire to investigate) to examine Mark Taylor's prophecies for yourself. You can find them on his website, sordrescue.com. (They were all listed on the front page when I wrote this book in 2022, so be aware that things may have changed over time.) As I browsed through them, I found that the Lord Jesus Christ and the Gospel of Salvation are not mentioned a single time in any of his prophecies.
(See Mark Taylor, The Trump Prophecies Official Website, retrieved Oct 20, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com])

The only references to Jesus Christ, repentance, and faith in the Son of God appear in Taylor's documents titled "Prayer of Repentance" and "Scrambling The Enemies [sic] Radar Prayer," which are prayers, not prophecies, despite being listed alongside his prophecies. As I explained in the previous chapter, Mark Taylor instructs people to recite specific prayers he authored, but this is the practice of vain repetitious prayer, which, as we learned, Jesus Christ taught us NOT to do. (Mat 6:7)

Taylor's prophecies glorify men, a focus never seen in the prophets of Scripture. His predictions repeatedly exalt Donald Trump and Americans as wonderful and good, which is false (as we established in the last chapter, no man is good, Rom 3:10-12) and gives God's glory to men, something God explicitly said He would not do.

I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
-Isaiah 42:8

Let's begin by examining a prophecy Mark Taylor gave in October 2015:
"The Spirit of God says, 'The Clintons, the Clintons, your time has come to an end, for you both are being omitted for the crimes you have committed. Hillary's is [sic] no great secret and they will be her downfall, but Bill's will be exposed one after the other and it will be a windfall. For this time, you will not escape prosecution and restitution for the rape and prostitution. You thought no one saw, but I the Lord see it all, and now this will be your downfall.'
The Spirit of God says, 'Beware, beware, the enemy roams about seeking whom he can devour and this sitting President is doing just that in this hour. He's full of lies and deceit and is very hateful; he spreads division and corruption with every mouthful. Beware when he says, "Look over here what the right hand is doing", to divert your attention from what the left hand is doing, is his intention. This is a setup from this President and his minions, form the hate, the division, and Hillary Clinton. Why can no one see this? For the signs are clear to see, that this President [i.e. Barack Obama at the time] and his minions shall try for three. [i.e. a third presidency] A sign will be, he will try and take the guns so the people can't rise up and stop him when he tried to run. He will not succeed for this is the peoples right, but make no mistake it will be a fight.
The Spirit of God says, 'My Army, My Army rise up and take to the fight, and I will stop this that has already taken flight. For this is a war over America and not to be taken lightly. You will have to fight, but America will shine brightly. Take the fight to the enemy and you will be victorious for all to see, and America will be loved once again, even by some that used to be her enemies. My Army, continue to war, pray and fight with a shout, and I will remove this President that has become a louse! Then you will see the man I have chosen, Donald Trump, when he takes by MY WHITE HOUSE!"

In my exposé on Kim Clement, I called him the "Clown Prophet" because of his emphasis on having fun rather than taking the Word of God seriously. Based on Taylor's pathetic and childish attempt to make things rhyme, I will label him the "Dr. Seuss Prophet."

Any average public school student can create rhyming verses. For instance, I could say, "A warning about Taylor I will preach; if he does not repent of his sins, heaven he will not reach." Anyone can do this, but for some strange reason, people foolishly believe that adding poetic cadence somehow leads them to greater truth. I challenge readers to find any instance in the Bible where God used childish nursery rhymes to prophesy. Having studied the prophets of Scripture, I know this is not how God speaks through His prophets.

Taylor's so-called "prophecy" is strange because he said, "Hillary's is no great secret," referring to her crimes. Taylor wrote about "crimes" in the plural, so it should read, "Hillary's ARE no great secret." This sentence is grammatically incorrect in English and lacks the foundation of a true prophecy. Taylor's style of seer prophecy is supposed to reveal future events, not merely allude to what is supposedly common knowledge.

In Scripture, when the Lord God rebuked a specific individual, He was not vague, as He provided clear evidence in His judgments. God detailed their sins, as seen when Nathan confronted King David for his crimes against Uriah (i.e. stealing Uriah's wife, Bathsheba), and then Nathan explicitly listed the specific punishments that would follow:

Wherefore hast thou despised the commandment of the LORD, to do evil in his sight? thou hast killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and hast taken his wife to be thy wife, and hast slain him with the sword of the children of Ammon. Now therefore the sword shall never depart from thine house; because thou hast despised me, and hast taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house, and I will take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto thy neighbour, and he shall lie with thy wives in the sight of this sun. For thou didst it secretly: but I will do this thing before all Israel, and before the sun.
-2 Samuel 12:9-12

Why can God be so specific in His intentions, yet modern-day prophets cannot? The answer is simple: they are false prophets who keep their words vague, like soothsayers, psychics, astrologers, magicians, tarot readers, palm readers, and mediums, to deceive people into believing their words are "prophetic" or "spiritual," and Mark Taylor is no exception.

Furthermore, Taylor "prophesies" that many of the Clintons' crimes are secret, which is simply false. In reality, most of the Clintons' crimes have been known to many for a long time. The primary issue in the United States is corruption in the Executive and Judicial branches of government, which have failed to arrest, prosecute, convict, and sentence these criminals, and therefore, Taylor's claim is not prophetic in any sense.

When Taylor said, "this President and his minions shall try for three," that is clearly a false prophecy. Obama did not try to run for a third term. Since Hillary Clinton was specifically mentioned multiple times in this "prophecy," it stands to reason that Taylor should have prophesied that she would run for president—but he never mentioned it.

The prophecy was issued in October 2015, so why did Taylor not mention anything about Hillary Clinton running for president in 2016? The answer: Taylor crafted these so-called prophecies based on mainstream news reports. Since the media had not yet confirmed Hillary as the Democratic candidate, he kept his statements vague and focused on Obama. There is no prophetic Spirit of God behind Taylor's Dr. Seuss rhymes—they are actually quite a bit more childish than he wants us to believe.

Taylor made a huge mistake by providing too much detail, stating that while Obama would run for a third term, "a sign will be, he will try and take the guns." Although I am certain Barack Obama desired to pass unconstitutional legislation banning citizens from owning guns, he did no such thing before leaving office, and thus, we have two clear pieces of evidence proving this is a false prophecy.

Of course, Taylor and his followers will likely claim that Obama is operating through a shadow presidency behind the scenes. They argue that Obama was guiding Joseph Biden (the fraudulent "winner" of the 2020 election) through an earpiece, dictating his actions, and thus, they will assert, this constitutes Obama's third term.

Granted, they might have an unsubstantiated argument IF Mark Taylor had learned to keep his mouth shut, but because he cannot stop talking, Taylor repeatedly contradicted himself. For example, I watched an interview in which Taylor discussed Trump dissolving the incorporated UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (which he claims happened during his presidency through a Florida court). He asserted this made Washington D.C. a foreign nation, no longer part of the true United States, and therefore concluded that Joe Biden was president of nothing.

If Biden was president of nothing, how can this be Obama's third (shadow) presidential term? Either Biden was president or he was not, but Taylor wants to have his cake and eat it too. Regardless, his prophecy is false. He seeks to be viewed as a prophet and revered for his political commentary, while sweeping his false prophecies under the rug, hoping no one will notice the unresolvable problems.

Taylor claimed divine revelation about Donald Trump's election, but I previously cited numerous media outlets showing Trump as the leading Republican candidate. Was this a genuine "prophecy," or merely Taylor echoing mainstream media with a "divine" twist? Furthermore, Trump's victory was unsurprising to me due to Hillary Clinton's weak campaign slogan, which forced her to rely on mainstream media propaganda to stay competitive.

In fact, most of you likely cannot recall Hillary Clinton's 2016 presidential campaign slogan due to its confusing and forgettable nature. Her slogan, "Love Trumps Hate," reflected the foolish, woke ideology of her campaign staff.


Even someone like me, with no advertising or political experience, can see the unbelievable stupidity of this slogan because, first and foremost, it has Donald Trump's name in it! Additionally, "love" is in red, the Republican party's color, while "hate" is in blue, the Democratic party's color, suggesting Clinton hired utterly incompetent staff in combination with an arrogant assumption that she could not lose.

Mark Taylor's claim that the White House in Washington D.C. is "God's House" (i.e. "The Spirit of God says... MY WHITE HOUSE!") is absurd. I challenge Christian readers to search the Bible for any instance where God claimed a man-made structure was His own—except the Temple in Jerusalem, which He Himself ordained and later had destroyed, but no other house built by human hands has ever been declared and sanctified by God to be His.
(Church buildings are not "God's House" either because the Holy Spirit resides within the body of each individual Christian; Read "The Church is Not a Building" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

Recall that in chapter two we addressed Taylor's 2011 prophecy claiming Trump would win the election in a "clean sweep." That did not happen—Trump won by a relatively narrow margin. Taylor repeatedly delivers false prophecies, yet he strives to prevent close scrutiny of them, even threatening divine curses on anyone who dares question the holy sacred cow called "Shakina Kami."

I will defend Taylor on one point: many people wrongly label him a false prophet simply for sharing opinions on future events. For instance, in an interview he clarified that his opinions and his prophecies are distinct:
"I try to be very specific about what is coming from God, and what is Mark Taylor's personal opinion."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor on the McFiles 1-13-21," Daily Truth Report, Jan 14, 2021, retrieved Oct 19, 2022, [https://rumble.com/vctuqz-mark-taylor-on-the-mcfiles-1-13-21.html]

Though I believe Taylor exaggerates when he claims he "tries" to separate the two, it is just and proper to distinguish between a man's opinion and his claim to speak the Word of God. Accusing someone of being a false prophet merely for voicing an opinion, guess, or feeling on a matter is a weak and fallacious argument.

However, Mark Taylor is notorious for blending his opinions with his prophecies—especially in interviews—causing much confusion among his audience. He warns people not to take his opinions as Gospel, yet he threatens divine curses on those who scrutinize his prophecies. Because he constantly blends the two, he creates a shield that protects him from critics, which should act as a clear warning sign of a dangerous cult leader.

We Christians are called to judge righteous judgment, meaning we must evaluate information, distinguish truth from falsehood, expose what is wrong, and proclaim what is true.

Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
-John 7:24

judge (v): to compare facts or ideas, and perceive their agreement or disagreement, and thus to distinguish truth from falsehood
(See 'judge', American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster, 1828, retrieved Oct 19, 2022, [webstersdictionary1828.com])

To illustrate Taylor blending his opinions with his prophecies, during a 2018 interview before the U.S. midterm elections (which determine numerous seats in Congress for Senators and House Representatives), Taylor claimed he foresaw a "red tsunami," describing it as a sweeping shift of Congressional seats to honest Republican/Conservative politicians:
"Well, the midterms, I believe, is going to be a red tsunami. It's not going to be a red wave, you know, a lot of people have said this is going to be a blue wave, well, no it's not. This is going to be more like a blue drip... I don't think you're going to see another democrat in the White House for a long, long time, if ever again at this point."
-Mark Taylor, "TSR Special: Q&A with The Firefighter Prophet | Mark Taylor on 501c3, World War 3, Q, and Trump," The Sharpening Report, Sept 14, 2018, Oct 18, 2022, [https://youtu.be/N4wehg70DIg?t=160]

He uses phrases like "I believe" and "I think," and as I stated, it is wrong to label a man a false prophet for merely expressing opinions. But once again, Taylor's major problem is his inability to keep his mouth shut. He speaks excessively and quickly (which the Bible calls being rash with one's mouth — Ecc 5:2) while constantly promoting himself as a prophet, so he inadvertently blends his opinions with his prophecies, as seen in this same interview:
"Trump's going to be in there for a second term; it's going to be another blowout on that election... I just think that prophecy, again, where God spoke in 'America, America' [i.e. Taylor's former false prophecy], where he said all the seeds in America sown is going to come back seven fold, we're going to see that."
-Mark Taylor, "TSR Special: Q&A with The Firefighter Prophet | Mark Taylor on 501c3, World War 3, Q, and Trump," The Sharpening Report, Sept 14, 2018, Oct 18, 2022, [https://youtu.be/N4wehg70DIg?t=193]

I cannot grant Taylor the benefit of the doubt and call this merely his "opinion" about the 2018 midterm elections. He is on record connecting the outcomes of the 2018 midterms (and the 2020 presidential election) to his 2015 prophecy "America, America." Before we continue, let's briefly examine the section of that false prophecy he referenced:
"The seeds! The seeds! Why is no one asking about the seeds? What about all the seeds America has sown since her birth? America has never received her harvest. For I will use President Trump and My Army to bring back to America all that she has sown. This will be used for My harvest. America will prosper like never before in her history as a nation. All of the financial seeds you have sown around the world, food, clothing, 90% of My gospel that has gone through out the earth, has come from My chosen America."
-Mark Taylor, "America, America," His Kingdom Prophecy, Oct 7, 2015, retrieved Sept 1, 2025, [https://www.sordrescue.com/_files/ugd/c20b31_0e510b675a1649c1a60862449f989e26.pdf]]

When I cross-referenced Taylor's "America, America" prophecy with his interview statement, I found no mention of America receiving a "seven-fold" return. I am left questioning where Taylor derived this claim. He provided no further details in the interview, and his prophecy contains no indication of a "seven-fold" return.

This is important because Taylor repeatedly claims (in numerous interviews) that God is speaking through him. Yet in this interview, he lied about what his own prophecy said, mixing it with his personal opinions. Thus, Taylor's "prophecies" ARE his opinions—expressed using the medium of childish poetry—which is why he cannot effectively separate the two.

If Taylor wanted to separate his opinions from his prophecies, he should have excluded his "seven-fold" claim from the interpretation. By including it as part of the prophetic message, he moved beyond mere opinion and turned it into a prophetic statement—thereby deceiving his audience.

The second problem I noticed was Taylor's claim that the next presidential election for Donald Trump (i.e. 2020) would be a "blowout." Taylor did not prophesy widespread fraud or that Trump's second term would be temporarily stolen. He stated Trump would secure a second term, and contextually he meant the 2020 election. In the interview, he pointed to Trump's economic achievements and said Americans supported him for those benefits—indicating he expected a landslide victory in 2020, which did not happen.

The third problem I noticed was that, for anyone familiar with Donald Trump's business history, it was not "prophetic" to predict a drastic economic improvement under his leadership. Trump, a well-known billionaire for decades, was desired by many to be a presidential candidate due to his wise business decisions and charitable efforts. As early as the 90s, he participated in numerous interviews where he was asked about potentially running for president, and therefore, this is not a profound prophecy of unknown information, but merely Mark Taylor's poetic spin on pre-existing public knowledge.

If we continue reading through Taylor's "America, America" prophecy, he said that another sign would be given to those who do not listen to the prophecy that Donald Trump is God's "anointed" leader:
"The Spirit of God says, 'The sign will be El-Chappo, El-Chappo, your evil reign has come to an end. Who do you think you are attacking my anointed? Turn yourself in and repent and I will spare you. If you do not, you and those that follow you will surely die a very public death for the entire world to see... For the time is short and the spirit of death is at your door, and the world will see your dead body and the red shirt you wore."
-Mark Taylor, "America, America," His Kingdom Prophecy, Oct 7, 2015, retrieved Sept 1, 2025, [https://www.sordrescue.com/_files/ugd/c20b31_0e510b675a1649c1a60862449f989e26.pdf]]

My wife and I generally avoid mainstream news and legacy media because we have no interest in their propaganda and advertising. Consequently, when I first encountered the name "El-Chappo," I was unfamiliar with it and had to research who he was.

I noticed that Taylor wrote "El-Chappo," when it should be spelled "El Chapo," with one 'p' and no hyphen. He is a Mexican drug kingpin (overseeing vast trafficking of cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and methamphetamines) whose real name is Joaquín Guzmán. He is commonly known by the nickname "El Chapo," which translates to "The Shorty" in English, reflecting Guzmán's below-average height.

Guzmán was arrested and imprisoned in Guatemala in 1993 but escaped in 2001 by bribing guards. He remained a fugitive for the next 13 years, was arrested again in 2014, but escaped once more before his formal sentencing in 2015.

Since Taylor bases his so-called "prophecies" on mainstream news at the time, it is unsurprising that Taylor wrote his prophecy roughly three months AFTER El Chapo's escape was widely reported in July 2015. Global news outlets reported that Mexican officials were pursuing El Chapo's affiliates, had arrested prison officials involved in his escape, and, less than three weeks before Taylor's "prophecy," announced the capture of at least 13 of his drug lords—cutting off his resources and closing in on him.
(See The Guardian, "Mexico arrests former prison chiefs in connection with 'El Chapo' escape," Sept 18, 2015, retrieved Dec 8, 2022, [https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/sep/19/mexico-arrests-former-prison-chiefs-in-connection-with-el-chapo-escape]; See also USA Today, "Mexico detains 13 in prison escape of drug lord 'El Chapo'," Sept 19, 2022, retrieved Dec 8, 2022, [https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/world/2015/09/19/mexico-el-chapo-drug-lord-arrests/72467450])

Tensions were high, with news sources reporting Mexico's refusal to extradite El Chapo at the U.S. government's request. However, a high-profile criminal who had escaped twice from Mexico's highest-security federal prison was a massive embarrassment. It made the Mexican government a global laughingstock and spurred them to pursue Guzmán relentlessly—dead or alive.

This led Taylor to assume that El Chapo would be shot dead, his "dead body" displayed in "a very public death for the entire world to see," wearing a "red shirt" stained with blood from numerous bullet wounds. Months later (in January 2016), a shoot-out occurred between Mexican authorities and El Chapo, but he was not killed as Taylor claimed God would ensure—despite El Chapo's impenitence.

To clarify, Taylor's words were "Turn yourself in and repent and I will spare you." El Chapo neither turned himself in, nor repented—he was jailed after surrendering during a gun fight.

Once Mexican authorities recaptured El Chapo alive, they decided it was best to extradite him to U.S. authorities, who sentenced him to life in prison without parole (instead of just executing him, which makes far more sense). He is currently serving his sentence at ADX Florence (Maximum Security Prison) in Colorado.

(See Tom Harper, "El Chapo to face trial in US," The Times, May 22, 2016, Dec 8, 2022, [https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/el-chapo-to-face-trial-in-us-t00lkqdz5])

When El Chapo was arrested, he wore a blue shirt. He did not wear a red shirt as Taylor prophesied, nor was his shirt stained with blood as the context of the "prophecy" clearly implied.

I have shared this many times on social media, only to have Taylor worshipers scoff at me. In one instance, a man calling himself "Joe Hache" decided he would ask Grok AI (v3.0 in 2025) about the quote I provided, and he posted what Grok AI said:


"There is no verified evidence that Mark Taylor prophesied Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman would be killed in a police shootout. The claim originates solely from an X post by @creationliberty on June 29, 2025, which lacks a primary source (e.g., a direct statement from Taylor)"
-Joe Hache, quoting Grok AI v3.0, retrieved July 1, 2025, [https://x.com/JoeHache6/status/1939674919349981382]

In 2025, AI programs were still relatively new and prone to frequent errors. While useful for locating information, they were unreliable for thorough research. As my references above demonstrate, the quote exists—I obtained it directly from Taylor's prophecy on his own website—and when I asked Grok to investigate further, it corrected itself:


"I apologize for initially stating that the quote lacked a reference. The Creation Liberty Evangelism website does provide a reference to the quote, linking it to Mark Taylor's statement on 'His Kingdom Prophecy' dated October 7, 2015. This reference is available in the PDF document linked above."

Taylor's followers rarely verify sources. The few who do—double-checking Taylor against the facts—discover numerous contradictions and errors, and quickly become skeptical of him. The majority lazily avoid studying (a reflection of Taylor's own character) and readily accept anything that aligns with their ideology. In most cases, Taylor's followers are hypocrites who eagerly spread false information to justify their worship of a false god who calls himself "Shakina Kami."

The purpose of this analysis is to prove that Taylor's "America, America" prophecy is false, yet he used it to mislead his audience into believing he was a genuine prophet during live interviews. He knows most people are busy with other work (typically listening on audio), making it unlikely that any would study to verify his claims.

Returning to the context of the aforementioned interview, the discussion focused on the 2018 midterm elections, which were weeks away at the time. Taylor linked these elections to his prophecies, which, unbeknownst to his audience, were already proven failures.

Kyle Mantyla, a journalist with the left-leaning Right Wing Watch, accurately documented quotes from Taylor's videos (the originals of which were later removed from YouTube and never reuploaded). Mantyla tracked numerous false prophets who predicted a "red tsunami" in the 2018 midterm elections, including Sheila Zilinsky, Leigh Valentine, Christopher MacDonald, and Mark Taylor. Most of these individuals later deleted their posts and videos in embarrassment, attempting to hide their failed "prophecies," but Taylor continues to justify his claims despite clear evidence proving them wrong.
(See Kyle Mantyla, "We Were Promised a Red Tsunami," Right Wing Watch, Nov 7, 2018, retrieved Oct 19, 2022, [https://www.rightwingwatch.org/post/we-were-promised-a-red-tsunami])

I know a bit more about what Taylor is doing because he follows the Q movement (i.e. those who study the Q classified intelligence drops):
"There's a plan in place. We all know it, especially those who follow Q."
-Mark Taylor, "TSR Special: Q&A with The Firefighter Prophet | Mark Taylor on 501c3, World War 3, Q, and Trump," The Sharpening Report, Sept 14, 2018, Oct 18, 2022, [https://youtu.be/N4wehg70DIg?t=293]

Whether readers accept Q's legitimacy or think it was all a psychological operation to deceive the masses—it is irrelevant to what I will demonstrate. For transparency, after thorough research I believe Q was authentic military intelligence, but to clarify, I do not endorse all of Q's message, nor the statements or actions of Q's followers, nor am I part of any so-called "QAnon" conspiracy (a term invented by corporate media—there is only Q and Anons, i.e. anonymous researchers). I also believe Q's relevance faded significantly after its peak in 2020 and is no longer needed today. Those who research it should keep that time frame in mind. I have no interest in convincing anyone about Q, and it is perfectly fine if you disagree with me—I only mention this so you understand that my study of some Q drops helps me more effectively expose Mark Taylor's deception.

Again, Taylor crafts his so-called "prophecies" from mainstream news, transforming them into positive, feel-good "prophetic" messages. When the Q drops emerged, Taylor—along with other false prophets and fake "spiritual healers" such as Julie Greene and Dave Hayes (a.k.a. "Praying Medic")—found a ready source of insider information. They used it to write generalized "prophecies" that sounded divinely inspired, even though they originated from military intelligence.

Surprisingly, shortly before I finished writing this book, Q made a new post which agreed with me on this point. He said:


"Be aware of false prophets. I am not a prophet. You are not a prophet. We are not prophets. Focus on the mission."
-Q Drop #4964, Nov 27, 2022, retrieved Nov 30, 2022, [https://qagg.news/siteimages/qaggdropimage4964.png]

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
-Matthew 7:15

To illustrate with an analogy, suppose I received insider information that federal legislation would pass to subsidize (i.e. financially support) corn production and sales. Using that knowledge, I could "prophesy" that the Lord revealed a vision of blessing America's corn. As corn production and profits rose over the next few years, churchgoers might view me as a legitimate "prophet," though I merely repeated private information obtained from insider sources.

This is why modern false prophets love to have insider sources that are not generally known to the public. It makes it much easier to deceive simple-minded churchgoers who quickly believe whatever they are told without first researching to find the facts.

Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
-Romans 16:17-18

The first Q drop was posted on October 28, 2017, offering information otherwise only accessible to those with the highest levels of classified government/military clearance. By 2018, Mark Taylor and other false prophets seized the opportunity to use Q drops as a basis for their "prophecies." Thus, they used this insider military intelligence—unknown to most people at the time—to craft "prophecies" that appeared divinely inspired to the unlearned.

If we go back to Q post #1357 in May of 2018, it says "RED WAVE coming?," and this was mentioned again in #1602 and #1603 for June 27th, 2018. On Sept 3, 2018, in post #2068, Q reposted an anon post, which said:


"Here comes the RED WAVE!!! Just before mid-terms!!!"
-Q Drop #2068, Sept 3, 2018, retrieved Aug 23, 2025, [https://qalerts.app/?n=2068]

After Q first mentioned it in May, other media channels that followed Q began talking about a "red tsunami"—even bigger than a red wave. For example, Alan Webber of the Kankakee, Illinois Daily Journal wrote in August 2018:
"If the Democrats keep up with their agenda, I predict there will be a red tsunami hitting this country in November. And if so, the left no longer will have a voice at all."
-Alan Webber, "Democrats agenda gives rise to red tsunami," Daily Journal, Aug 14, 2018, retrieved Aug 23, 2025, [https://web.archive.org/web/20180814180626/https://www.daily-journal.com/opinion/letters/democrats-agenda-gives-rise-to-red-tsunami/article_d1f18cd4-9f10-11e8-a4f6-a341c9e7c707.html]

That article was scrubbed from their website, and I had to find it through the Wayback Machine. Many such articles and posts were made in the summer and fall of 2018 after it was first mentioned by Q, but in their embarrassment, the authors have removed their words, making them hard to find.

I have documented this to show readers that the idea of a "red tsunami" was already being discussed in Republican and conservative channels long before Taylor claimed in his interview, "the midterms, I believe, is going to be a red tsunami. It's not going to be a red wave." It should now be evident that Taylor exploits media reports and insider information to craft false "prophecies," gaining glory and praise from willingly blind religious zealots.

Many advocates of Q will say that the intel drops were not sequential, while others will say that the intel drops are only based on estimations based on current conditions. However, an important note is that the Q drop preceding Taylor's interview statement was a repost from an anonymous author, not Q's own words. Q warned early on that America's enemies closely monitored those posts, so some information was meant only to mislead the enemy. Mark Taylor ignored this and jumped to conclusions because he greatly desired to be viewed as a divine prophet—grasping for purpose in his deteriorating life.

For example, Taylor took credit for prophesying "mass arrests," even though (as of 2025) nothing has happened yet. Even if that does eventually come to pass, he is simply parroting Q posts:
"[@19:43] I think you're going to see—I've been saying for a long time now, warning the people there was going to be mass arrests, that they would have to be very careful how they dealt with this because they would take down parts of government. That was like four years ago, or three years ago, right after Trump got in."
-Mark Taylor, "Full Interview: Trump Prophecy with Prophet Mark Taylor on COVID and 2020 Election," The Joe Padula Show, Dec 20, 2020, retrieved Nov 10, 2022, [https://rumble.com/vc1p9p-full-interview-trump-prophecy-with-prophet-mark-taylor-on-covid-and-2020-el.html]

For readers who are unfamiliar with Q, over three years prior to Taylor's interview, Q published the following:
"On POTUS' order, we have initiated certain fail-safes that shall safeguard the public from the primary fallout which is slated to occur 11.3 upon the arrest announcement of Mr. Podesta (actionable 11.4). Confirmation (to the public) of what is occurring will then be revealed and will not be openly accepted. Public riots are being organized in serious numbers in an effort to prevent the arrest and capture of more senior public officials."
-Q Drop #34, Nov 1, 2017, retrieved Nov 10, 2022, [https://qagg.news/siteimages/qaggdropimage34.png]

I will not delve into the specifics, but readers should note that John Podesta served as White House Chief of Staff for the Clintons, Presidential Counsel for the Obamas, and Senior Advisor for the Bidens. Substantial evidence suggests Podesta's long-term involvement in pedophilia and child sex trafficking, likely a key reason for his high-ranking roles among corrupt leadership.

It was Q who told us that mass arrests are coming in the future, and because the corruption was so deep and wide, they would have to be careful how they arrested those who were in the public limelight. A few weeks later after this post, Q also posted the following:
"Marriage for POWER, not LOVE. Milton/Roth. Soros/Clinton. Etc... PUBLIC is VITAL. RELEASE of INFO VITAL. OUTRAGE. JUSTICE. Can we simply arrest the opposition w/o first exposing the TRUTH?"

-Q Drop #778, Feb 15, 2018, retrieved Nov 10, 2022, [https://qagg.news/siteimages/qaggdropimage778.png]

Many Q drops hint at future mass arrests, and Taylor, having at least partially reviewed these drops or listened to related discussions, simply repeats common Q-movement phrases. His deceptive tactics should be clear now. The key point for readers is that Taylor deceives his audience. He knows that by claiming he has spoken of "mass arrests" for years (hardly miraculous or unique knowledge), he positions himself to cash in on the appearance of being a genuine prophet when high-level officials are eventually arrested—finally receiving the praise and glory he craves.

For instance, in an interview Taylor discussed his prophecy about the United States Supreme Court (another failed prophecy I will address later in this chapter). He noted that he received "flak" (i.e. angry resistance) for it, then linked it to other "prophecies" that align with what Q had already revealed:
"[@22:21] I've gotten a lot of flak for that. I've gotten a lot of flak for saying that there was going to be mass arrests. I got a lot of flak for saying there were going to be military tribunals that would make Nuremburg look like a cake walk."

Contextually, Taylor is connecting these statements to his prophecy and claiming he prophesied they would happen. This shows yet again that he mixes his opinions with his so-called "prophecies." Taylor is literally scamming his audience into thinking he heard these things from God, when in reality he is simply repeating concepts that first appeared on an encrypted forum (i.e. 4chan & 8kun) where Q published them.

Knowing Taylor's pattern of "prophesying," it is not hard to figure out what he will do next. I wrote the draft of this paragraph in October 2022, just before the midterm elections, and I can already see what is going to happen, as well as what Taylor will say.

A big red wave was coming in those midterms because the Bidens, Clintons, Obamas, Pelosis, the Democratic National Convention (and their allies such as Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and woke, transgender activists), Big Tech, and the mainstream media had led America down a path of rapid moral and financial decline. There were spiking gas prices, senselessly draining our national reserves, rising food prices, increased shortages, housing market issues, inflation, and more. Most Americans had had enough, and after the 2022 midterms, Republicans won the majority in both the House and Senate, along with many state-level positions, which did not happen in 2018.

Again, Taylor's "prophecy" was for 2018, so he needs an excuse. He only has a few options: Before hearing Taylor's full explanation, I anticipated he would combine elements of options #2 and #3, which fits his established pattern of deception. However, Taylor exceeded my expectations with remarkable stupidity, and delivered a statement even more outrageous than I had predicted:
"In the midterms, I said there was going to be a red tsunami. Apparently [i.e. implying for his skeptics], that wasn't good enough, what we won. We picked up six red governorships in six states."
-Mark Taylor, "RWW News: Mark Taylor Is Still Standing By His Failed 'Red Tsunami' Prophecy," RWW Blog, June 20, 2019, retrieved Oct 19, 2022, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4_noDt4XjE]

What Taylor said was a bald-faced lie! The (blue) Democrats, not the (red) Republicans, gained more seats in the 2018 midterms.

Republicans gained two Senate seats that year, but Democrats secured 40 House seats, and in governorships, Democrats flipped Maine, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, New Mexico, and Nevada. Republicans gained only ONE governorship—not "six red governorships."

This was clearly a blue wave, not a red wave, and certainly not a "red tsunami." I can only presume that Taylor knows his core audience never looks into anything he says, and accepts he statements as divine declaration, or in other words, I think Taylor believes his audience are morons.

(See "Live map: 2018 midterm elections results," Axios, Nov 7, 2018, retrieved Oct 19, 2022, [https://www.axios.com/2018/11/06/live-map-axios-2018-midterm-elections-results])

Let's continue the quote from Taylor's interview so we can see just how hard he tried to snow his audience:
"People think I am making an excuse for not having a [Taylor makes air quotes with his fingers] 'red tsunami'—it was huge. We had huge wins all across the country. Just because we didn't take the House they thought we didn't have a red tsunami."
-Mark Taylor, "RWW News: Mark Taylor Is Still Standing By His Failed 'Red Tsunami' Prophecy," RWW Blog, June 20, 2019, retrieved Oct 19, 2022, [https://youtu.be/v4_noDt4XjE?t=191]

tsunami (n): an unusually large sea wave produced by a seaquake or undersea volcanic eruption
(See 'tsunami', Random House Dictionary, 2022, [dictionary.com]; See also Collins English Dictionary, 10th Edition, William Collins Sons & Co, 2012)

Mark Taylor is a buffon who claims dictionary definitions are divinely inspired (as I demonstrated in the first chapter of this book), yet he ignored the actual meaning of 'tsunami'. I watched in amazement as he backtracked on his "red tsunami" claim, used air quotes to imply his words had been misunderstood, then lied in real time by asserting the so-called red tsunami had occurred. It clearly had not. A "red wave" heavily implies a strong surge of Republican votes, but a red tsunami would be an overwhelming flood—far beyond a typical wave, just as real tsunamis are dramatically larger.

And in a grand display of hypocrisy, Taylor condemned others for lying:
"I believe this is where the wheat and the tares are being separated, right now. You're seeing it come to the surface. If you just go onto some of these channels and see the lies that are being spewed right now, without any evidence whatsoever, some of them just making stuff up, and the people that are just jumping on the bandwagon, that is the condition of the church."

If you think "just making stuff up" describes the condition of the church, then you are in a fake church—just like Taylor and his Apostolic cult. His description perfectly fits himself and the NARs who worship him. Taylor spews lies "without any evidence whatsoever," "just making stuff up," and then expects his listeners to jump on his "bandwagon."

This is more than enough evidence to prove Mark Taylor is a scam artist. His excuses, lies, and insistence to doubling down on those lies are unsurprising when examining the history of false prophets—from Ellen G. White to David Koresh to Kim Clement—Taylor follows the same pattern as false prophets always have.
(Read Corruptions of Christianity: Seventh-day Adventism & False Prophet Profiles: Kim Clement here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

On Nov 17, 2015, Mark Taylor wrote another prophecy, in which he stated:
"The Spirit of God says, 'I am neutering this sitting President, I am neutering this sitting President in this hour, so his evil and corrupt ideologies and theologies can no longer reproduce in this country I call MY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! For this man who holds the title called the President of the United States [i.e. Barack Obama at the time], will begin to lose his grip from it and be stripped of it, for I the Lord God will rip it from him. This man who calls himself Commander in Chief, is nothing more than a lying deceitful Thief!'"
-Mark Taylor, "Time Is Up," Nov 17, 2015, retrieved Oct 20, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/11-07-15_time_is_up.pdf]

We do not see this kind of wording used by the Lord God in Scripture when He spoke through His prophets. I am trying to take this analysis seriously, but Taylor makes it very difficult for me not to laugh when he claims that the "Spirit of God" says that he will "neuter" Obama.

It is absurd to claim that Obama is the source of all "evil and corrupt ideologies and theologies." Shall we presume that Obama is Satan himself, and that all sin rests on his 8-year presidency? I remember when false preachers galore used to declared Obama was the final antichrist, the son of perdition—and that was obviously false.

Taylor's so-called "prophecy" is an extreme and ridiculous statement because even Taylor himself is a clear source of such "evil and corrupt ideologies and theologies." One might argue he did not explicitly say this about Obama, but it is the logical conclusion: he claimed that removing Obama would ensure those "evil and corrupt ideologies and theologies" would "no longer reproduce in this country." This is ridiculous on many levels. Corrupt ideologies and theologies persist globally—not just in America, but even within most so-called "Christian" groups and institutions, which is precisely why I need to write books like this.

A funny note is that, because of the childish way he writes, there is nothing in the text that indicates whether Taylor is writing literally or metaphorically. When he says that God will "neuter" Obama, are we to believe that Obama was secretly castrated?

Taylor's prophecy claimed Obama would "lose his grip" and "be stripped of" the title of President of the United States, and he said God would "rip it from him." This heavily implies Obama would desperately cling to power, but Obama completed two full terms (eight years) as POTUS, he did not seek a third term; he neither lost his grip, nor was stripped of it, nor had it ripped from him by God—further proving Mark Taylor is a false prophet.

In another prophecy called "Operation Let My People Go," written on July 8, 2016, Taylor said:


"The Spirit of God says, 'When Donald Trump is elected, a sign will be given. The earth shall quake because of who I have selected. It's a shift, a shift in the power structure that is taking place and another sign will be given when it falls without grace. A lightning strike and a great wind shall topple the so called great monument, and they will not be able to mend. It will be a sign that the Luciferian reign and ungodly powers are coming to an end.'"

It must first be stated that "the Luciferian reign and ungodly powers" will not end with Donald Trump. This reveals Mark Taylor's idolization of Trump as a spiritual messiah. Those powers will only cease when the Lord Jesus Christ returns to rapture the saints and God's wrath is poured out on this world, as described in Revelation chapters 7-9.
(Read "The Beginner's Guide to Christian Rapture" at creationliberty.com for more details.)

When Taylor refers to "the so called great monument," he means the Washington Monument in D.C. (as he clarified in other interviews), but no lightning strikes or major earthquakes were reported after Donald Trump's 2016 election. A lightning strike did hit the monument in August 2021—five years later, after Joe Biden was certified president—but it caused no damage thanks to the two lightning rods on top. This was clearly not the "sign" Taylor prophesied because it did not occur in the promised time frame, nor as described—further proving Mark Taylor is a false prophet.
(See David Matthews, "Lightning strike temporarily shuts down Washington Monument," FOX News, Aug 15, 2021, retrieved Oct 20, 2022, [https://www.fox5dc.com/news/lightning-strikes-washington-monument-in-electric-video])

As I have stated, false prophets often ensnare themselves by claiming a sign will appear because they speak excessively and provide too many details, making it easy to expose their lies. Predictably, Taylor does it again as he continues:
"'When it topples and shatters the capstone the builders accepted will be exposed for all to see and the one they rejected who is me.'"
-Mark Taylor, "Operation Let My People Go," July 8, 2016, retrieved Oct 20, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/11-07-15_time_is_up.pdf]

Taylor prophesied that when Donald Trump was officially elected in 2016, the capstone atop the Washington Monument would fall and shatter on the ground. Nearly a decade later—after Trump was elected in both 2016 and 2024—the Washington Monument's capstone remains intact and undamaged, further proving Mark Taylor is a false prophet.

So knowing that what he predicted did not happen, in his documentary Taylor tried to slyly cover up what he had prophesied:
"People have asked—the great monument, 'a lightning strike and a great wind shall topple the great monument', it's the Washington Monument, right around the Trump prophecy was written [sic], it was damaged in an earthquake, and they closed it until they got it repaired, so there's a lot going on with that monument and what it represents."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor Trump Prophecy Censored Film - The Remnant Rescue Documentary (Part 1)," America's Prophecy Update, Apr 22, 2021, retrieved Nov 11, 2022, [https://youtu.be/NVDxYnrl6Wc?t=2777]

In summary, Taylor wrote a prophecy in 2016 that the capstone of the Washington Monument would completely fall off and be destroyed, which never happened. He said it would be done by "a lightning strike and a great wind," which never happened. He said it was supposed to take place after Trump got elected POTUS, which never happened. In this interview, he claimed it happened by an earthquake, but as we are about to find out, the earthquake he is referring to took place in 2011, five years BEFORE he wrote this so-called "prophecy."

I am convinced that Taylor knows his prophecy failed, but instead of admitting the truth, he diverted attention to an earthquake that occurred outside the timeline his prophecy specified. He then instructed his audience—who (again) are notoriously apathetic and lazy when it comes to researching things for themselves—to investigate, knowing they would accept his word without examining anything beyond a new headline.

I am not defending the Washington Monument, as it is a vile pagan and Freemason symbol. Explaining its full meaning would take too long in this book, but briefly, it is a phallic symbol placed atop a vaginal symbol (visible only from above), and I discuss this further in my article "Christian Symbols Are Not Christian," at creationliberty.com.


The earthquake Taylor referenced (which he claimed occurred "right around [when] the Trump prophecy was written"—Apr 28, 2011) actually happened on Aug 23, 2011 (four months later), in Mineral, Virginia—roughly 80 miles southwest of Washington D.C. It lasted about 30 seconds, caused approximately $200 million in damages across a wide area, and affected some structures in D.C., including the Washington Monument.
(See NBC Washington Staff, "8 Years Ago, a 5.8-Magnitude Earthquake Shook the East Coast," Aug 23, 2019, retrieved Nov 11, 2022, [https://www.nbcwashington.com/news/local/8-years-ago-a-58-magnitude-earthquake-shook-dc/132718])

The Washington Monument's elevator was closed to visitors for three years to repair damage, improve structural integrity, and ensure safety, but the capstone remained unmoved. Even if it had fallen and shattered, it would have been irrelevant because Taylor claimed it would occur by a lightning strike and great wind AFTER Trump's election—not by an earthquake before Trump's election—further proving Mark Taylor is a false prophet.

While listening to Taylor's interviews, I encountered the following quote about the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS), which caught my attention:
"[@21:07] HOST: What was said about the Supreme Court?
TAYLOR: Supreme Court, I've said, one was going to die, two were going to retire... and three would be caught in a scandal.
HOST: Kennedy died, Scalia retired, right?
TAYLOR: Right. We're still waiting on the next three. Now, here's what I tell people about this: We may never know what that scandal is, they just may say, 'Hey, I'm retiring out, and I'm done.'... three judges being caught in a scandal, being removed, it would cause a civil war... anyhow, when God replaces those five judges, he's going to reform the Supreme Court, and there may be a possibility that he will actually get six, but when he reforms the court, Roe vs Wade will be taken down."
-Mark Taylor, "Full Interview: Trump Prophecy with Prophet Mark Taylor on COVID and 2020 Election," The Joe Padula Show, Dec 20, 2020, retrieved Nov 11, 2022, [https://rumble.com/vc1p9p-full-interview-trump-prophecy-with-prophet-mark-taylor-on-covid-and-2020-el.html]

We will address the details shortly, but remember Mark Taylor prophesied that only after (at minimum) FIVE Supreme Court justices were removed and replaced by Trump would Roe vs Wade be overturned. As I write this in the fall of 2022, Roe vs Wade was overturned this past summer, so it raises the question: Did it occur as Taylor predicted?

I struggled to pinpoint the exact source of Taylor's prophecy, but it appears to stem from cherry-picked phrases across multiple prophecies on his website. For instance, in "America, America," he states:
"The Spirit of God says, "The Supreme Court shall lose three, and my President shall pick new ones directly from MY TREE!"
-Mark Taylor, "America, America," Sord Rescue, Oct 7, 2015, retrieved Sept 1, 2025, [https://www.sordrescue.com/_files/ugd/c20b31_0e510b675a1649c1a60862449f989e26.pdf]

This caught my attention because Taylor initially prophesied that the Supreme Court would lose three justices, with Trump appointing three replacements. Had he stopped there, he might have been correct. However, just four months later (in Feb 2016), he issued another prophecy, claiming Trump would appoint five justices instead of three:
"The Spirit of God says, '5, that's right, 5 Supreme Court Justices will be appointed by my new president, my anointed. I will choose 5 through my anointed to keep those alive. I will stack the court with those that I choose, to send a clear message to the enemy, that you lose! This is the miracle I will perform, so that MY COURT will be reformed.'
The Spirit of God says, 'The cries, the cries that I have heard from the womb, have reached my eyes and ears like a sonic boom! The five I appoint and the reform that shall take place, the great I AM shall take on this case! For it is my will and my way for all those that have prayed, that MY COURT SHALL OVERTURN ROE VS WADE!"
-Mark Taylor, "Do Not Fear America," Sord Rescue, Feb 24, 2016, retrieved Sept 1, 2025, [https://www.sordrescue.com/_files/ugd/c20b31_90b7273aab984ed1a0766063ab7203d6.pdf]

I cannot figure out what kind of false god Mark Taylor worships, but the Christian God of the Bible never backtracks His prophecies. The Lord God delivers accurate information the first time, without guessing or altering it every few months.

I would also ask the Dr. Seuss prophet where God declared the Supreme Court was HIS court because, as far as I understand the Scriptures, God's court is in heaven, not on earth. One might cite Romans 13 to claim governments are ordained by the Lord, but that would mean EVERY court is God's court, rendering the prophecy's words pointless and redundant.

Another flaw in this "prophecy" is that appointing a man to an office is not a miracle because it is a natural process. A miracle transcends the laws of man and nature, so appointing a judge to a court is no more a "miracle" than adopting a pet or joining a swim team.

The nine SCOTUS justices in 2015 were John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan. Taylor's second prophecy, claiming Trump would appoint five SCOTUS justices, was written on Feb 24, 2016—just eleven days AFTER Justice Scalia's death at age 79—but in his interviews, Taylor attempts to present this as a prophecy he made BEFORE Scalia's death.

Taylor prophesied that "one [justice] was going to die," which carries no significance to suggest it is "divine." Everyone dies eventually, so does my stating this make me a prophet?

Consider that in 2015, several SCOTUS justices were in their 80s, making it no great "divine" insight to predict that some would soon die or retire. Ruth Ginsburg was 82, Anthony Kennedy was 79, and Stephen Breyer was 77, so even a young child could deduce that some would retire or pass away in the coming years.

Notice Taylor prophesied that "one was going to die," but two justices died while in office. As mentioned, Justice Scalia died in 2016, and then Ruth Ginsburg died in 2020, with both seats filled by the Trump administration, so why did Taylor fail to prophesy that two would die during Trump's first term?

Again, had Taylor stuck to his initial prophecy and shut his mouth, he might have gained some credibility, since he claimed Trump would appoint three SCOTUS justices. However, in 2016, after Scalia's death, Taylor altered his prophecy—clearly influenced by watching mainstream media sources—asserting that more justices would need to be replaced before Roe vs Wade could be overturned.


It is no great surprise that some SCOTUS justices might be entangled in scandals, as it is already known that, occasionally, judges engage in questionable conduct behind closed doors. For instance, leftist Democrat judge Ketanji Brown Jackson (appointed by auto-pen, dementia Joe Biden—another fact Taylor failed to predict) was found to have imposed lighter sentences on sex offenders, particularly pedophiles—in one instance giving a 3-month sentence when U.S. Sentencing Guidelines recommended 7-10 years—and in this author's opinion, she should be investigated by the Department of Justice.
(See Eugene Kiely & Saranac H. Spencer, "The Facts on Judge Jackson's Sentencing in Child Porn Cases," FactCheck.org, Mar 23, 2022, retrieved June 8, 2026, [https://www.factcheck.org/2022/03/the-facts-on-judge-jacksons-sentencing-in-child-porn-cases/])

Does my stating these things make me a prophet? Or does it make me informed? If, in the future, a SCOTUS judge is caught in a scandal, uninformed churchgoers (when shown his alleged "prophecy") may believe Taylor is a true prophet, merely because he possessed common knowledge they lacked at the time, accepting it as "divine" simply because Taylor made the claim.

It gets worse because the full interview (from which I drew the above quote), Taylor adds a condition, urging his listeners to believe his words without evidence. He specifically instructed them to accept a scandal's existence even if they find no proof—a guilty-until-proven-innocent tactic to shield himself from being called a false prophet. Discerning readers will recognize this hallmark of a religious cult leader—where questions and doubt are forbidden and his every word must be accepted as truth, regardless of evidence.

Some cult followers of Taylor might claim his prophecy of Trump appointing five justices was unrelated to Roe v. Wade's overturn. That is NOT what Taylor stated, so let's review his words from the interview once more:
"When God replaces those five judges, he's going to reform the Supreme Court, and there may be a possibility that he will actually get six, but when he reforms the court, Roe vs Wade will be taken down."
-Mark Taylor, "Full Interview: Trump Prophecy with Prophet Mark Taylor on COVID and 2020 Election," The Joe Padula Show, Dec 20, 2020, retrieved Nov 11, 2022, [https://rumble.com/vc1p9p-full-interview-trump-prophecy-with-prophet-mark-taylor-on-covid-and-2020-el.html]

Mark Taylor prophesied three, then five. Later, in an interview, he expressed doubt about his own prophecy of five, suggesting perhaps six. He claimed five or six Supreme Court justices would need to be replaced to overturn Roe vs Wade, stating this would "reform the court." In other words, Taylor defined the court reformation of his prophecy as the replacement of five or six justices, as if God is rolling the dice to guess which number it might be.

Once at least five justices were to be appointed, Taylor declared, "Roe vs Wade will be taken down." Yet, only three SCOTUS justices had been appointed when Roe vs Wade was overturned, proving once again that Mark Taylor is a FALSE prophet.

A key tactic of false prophets is to always deliver a "word from the Lord" that is positive and uplifting to their audience—such as the Supreme Court will overturn Roe vs Wade, Trump will defeat Luciferians, a tsunami of Republican voters will emerge, etc. False prophets almost NEVER offer negative messages, such as rebuke, reproof, or correction to their listeners; instead, any negative message in their so-called "prophecies" targets only the enemies of their audience.

True prophets of God in Scripture always delivered rebuke, correction, and instruction in righteousness to their own people. They encouraged those obedient to the Lord, but spoke of God's wrath against hypocrites, which does not comfort churchgoers. This is why Jesus said true prophets are dishonored and rejected in their own land:

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
-Matthew 13:57

And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
-Luke 4:24

Christopher MacDonald has interviewed Mark Taylor numerous times, but because I publicly declare MacDonald is a false teacher, do you think he would extend to me a friendly invitation to have a discussion on his show? Michelle Moore has interviewed Taylor frequently, but because I publicly state she teaches a false gospel on salvation, do you think she would offer me a friendly invitation to her show?

I would be more than happy to have either of them on my show to have a discussion with me, but they would never extend the same courteousy because it is not in their best financial and viewership interest. They do not care about prophets near as much as they care about worldly profit, which is why the world loves them.

If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.
-John 15:19

Rebuke and correction were central to the prophecies God preserved in Scripture, with specific conditions to be met before He would bestow blessings. This is why true prophets of God were not honored by heads of state, wealthy elites, or talk show hosts, and the same applies to the children of God still today.

Parents who love their children will discipline them, administering measures that the children may view as unfavorable, that their behavior would be corrected, which will benefit them in the long run. Likewise, Jesus taught in Revelation 3 that He chastens those He loves, a crucial point to consider when examining false prophets:

As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten:
be zealous therefore, and repent.
-Revelation 3:19

A prophet's role is to deliver God's chastening to the people, but false prophets recognize that such a message does not help them build respect and divine honors from their audience. They want the respect and paycheck, so they avoid sharing the message of chastening, as it offers no personal benefit, and this is a primary method to distinguish a false prophet from a true prophet of God.

And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him:
-Hebrews 12:5

One of the reasons Taylor's prophecies are false because they lack rebuke and chastening; only condemning Taylor's personal enemies, as well as those of his target audience. This pattern is consistent among all false prophets, as well as mediums, psychics, soothsayers, and others engaged in witchcraft.

I thought it fitting to conclude this chapter with a quote from Mark Taylor, in which he unknowingly condemned himself. While addressing those who lied, particularly those claiming he had publicly criticized Trump, Taylor denied the accusations and then stated:
"That right there should cause you to LITERALLY disregard anything that comes out of that person's mouth."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor and Chris Mcdonald," Prophetic Truth Network, Aug 9, 2022, retrieved Nov 25, 2022, [https://rumble.com/v1fega1-mark-taylor-and-chris-mcdonald.html]

Mark Taylor has advised that if someone makes false statements publicly, we should dismiss everything else that person says. After I have exposed his lies and false prophecies, following Taylor's own advice, we should disregard any of his further claims.

Yet, for devoted worshipers of Taylor, I am certain this will not be enough to stop them from venerating their lord and savior "Shakina Kami." A primary reason is their belief that I violate God's Word, and that I am under a curse for writing this book, so let's address their argument...
 


When addressing false prophets—such as Mark Taylor, Kim Clement, Julie Greene, and Lance Wallnau (among many others)—and those who revere them, I am often met with a common, ridiculous argument I call "The Nineveh Fallacy." These false prophets and their followers believe this argument shields their so-called "prophecies" from any kind of scrutiny, but diligent study of Scripture exposes their fallacy and deception.

For example, Taylor writes the following in his book. This is a cookie-cutter claim repeated almost verbatim by nearly every modern false prophet:
"God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is I AM. He does not change. He does, however, change His course of action at times in response to man's actions. In the story of Jonah, He told Jonah to go and preach to the city of Nineveh with the warning that it would be destroyed in forty days if those who lived there did not turn from wickedness."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 125, ISBN: 9780998142678

False prophets and their worshipers then quote Jonah 3:

So Jonah arose, and went unto Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceeding great city of three days' journey. And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
-Jonah 3:3-10

The essence of their argument is that God does not change, which is true (Mal 3:6), but God warned of Nineveh's destruction in forty days—yet He spared them. They assert that since God remains unchanging, and only mankind changes, the fulfillment of prophecies depend on whether mankind obeys the will of God.

Though the general concept contains some truth, in context of their religious cult, the argument is fallacious and contradicts other Scriptures. Its real purpose is to give followers an excuse to cling to the happy-go-lucky, feel-good messages of corrupt men even after their fake prophets are proven false.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
-2 Timothy 4:3-4

The scratching of itching ears is an analogy to scratching a dog's itching ears, in which pups will submit to anyone offering comfort. It is akin to the old saying of pouring honey in one's ear, meaning the hearer craves only sweet words. False prophets preach messages that feel good to those who despise truth, and such hearers will fiercely defend a lie rather than face sound doctrine that rebukes their sins.

That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits:
-Isaiah 30:9-10

In fairness, we should ask: How can God remain unchanging, yet alter the course of action He declared? Would it not be a lie to say He would destroy a people and then spare them?

To resolve this, ask two questions: Why did God give Nineveh forty days instead of destroying them immediately? And why did He send Jonah at all?

If the Lord determines to destroy a nation, nothing can stop Him. He is the righteous Judge and all-powerful Creator. We frail men have no right to question the morality of His decisions, but other prophets have also revealed His character, specifically that the Lord takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked.

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
-Ezekiel 33:11

I would rejoice to see wicked leaders like Hillary Clinton and John Podesta (just to name a couple) charged, put on trial, convicted, and justly executed for their crimes. Many Americans share this view, but the Bible tells us that a much greater and more serious judgment comes after this life: hell to the enemies of God, and finally the lake of fire where the suffering of the wicked never ends.
(Read "Hell is Real And Many People Are Going There" at creationliberty.com for details.)

And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh.
-Isaiah 66:24

And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
-Mark 9:43-44

It is no small matter to contemplate angels casting the most wicked, impenitent men into the lake of fire, where only endless suffering remains. It would be much preferable to see these wicked men fall to their knees in repentance and seek mercy from the Lord Jesus Christ, but that desire comes solely from the mercy God has shown me.

We must remember that, ultimately, we are ALL deserving of the same punishment, yet the Lord is kind and merciful by nature. He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow of their sins):

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
-2 Peter 3:9

God's kindness surpasses that of any man, such that He did what no man would—He gave His own Son to save wicked men. He showed mercy to rescue those who once hated Him.

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
-John 3:16

This brings us to the purpose of the prophet Jonah, and of every true prophet: to deliver rebuke, correct, and instruction in righteousness so people might come to godly grief over their sins, and turn from them. The name of God means "Judge," and as the All-Powerful Judge, He must uphold justice, but because He is a Judge of great mercy, He extends mercy to those who repent. As Scripture says, "God repented [i.e. grieved] of the evil that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not."

Many churchgoers have revered false prophets for so long, chasing feel-good messages to scratch their itching ears, that they no longer understand a prophet's true purpose. Prophets were not sent to dazzle audiences with future predictions. The miraculous parts were only for confirmation that the message was real. God sent prophets to lead people to repentance, so He might show mercy and the Holy Ghost might comfort them.

Most churchgoers cling to fluffy prophecies even after they are proven false because they WANT to believe them. They care nothing for truth. In their hearts they reject the Lord Jesus Christ and turn instead to messages that give them instant gratification and temporary pleasures.

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool:
but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.
-Proverbs 28:26

These worshipers of false prophets use what I call the Nineveh Fallacy to shield their "prophetic" idols from exposure. They are willfully ignorant that God, through His prophets in Scripture, declared that punishments predicted to fall upon nations are contingent upon turning from their evil ways:

At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.
-Jeremiah 18:7-10

For example, when I expose Kim Clement's false prophecies on social media, his followers invoke the Nineveh Fallacy. I show a video where Clement prophesied that Barack Obama would receive the Holy Spirit in the summer of 2010 and radically change his policies to bless America—something that obviously never happened.

(See Creation Liberty Evangelism Rumble Channel, "False Prophet: Kim Clement - Obama Prophecy," Apr 21, 2022, [https://rumble.com/v11u2wj-false-prophet-kim-clement-obama-prophecy-creationliberty.com.html])

His followers then claim Obama rejected the Lord, so the prophecy could not be fulfilled. I respond with a simple question: If God intended to richly bless America, why would that blessing depend on one man's acceptance of Clement's words?

More importantly, Clement NEVER called Obama or America to repent and turn from sin—the very condition required for mercy. This reveals how idolatrous churchgoers use the Nineveh Fallacy as a shield to protect their cult leaders from exposure and to hide their own lies in promoting and worshiping corrupt men.

What these churchgoers purposefully ignore is that the Nineveh Fallacy would ELIMINATE any ability to prove ANY prophet false. If a prophecy's fulfillment hinged on whether people chose to obey it, then NO prophecy could ever be disproven.

I know Taylor and his worshipers would love that outcome, so he could never be proven wrong, but it directly contradicts the Scripture covered in the introduction to this book:

But the prophet, which shall presume to speak a word in my name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or that shall speak in the name of other gods, even that prophet shall die. And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the LORD hath not spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the name of the LORD, if the thing follow not, nor come to pass, that is the thing which the LORD hath not spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.
-Deuteronomy 18:20-22

When a man prophesies in the name of the Lord (e.g. Taylor writes, "The Spirit of God says"), and the things he says do not come to pass, the timeline is not met, or the details fail to occur as stated, that prophet must be declared false. To obey the Lord God's instruction in Scripture, one must examine the details of a man's prophecies and compare them to objective evidence. To protect himself, Mark Taylor cited Jonah 3:3-10, as other false prophets do, and went further by quoting Jeremiah 18 (as noted earlier in this chapter). He used these passages deceptively to preempt authors like me who expose him with the very same verses. Taylor follows this with a section in his book titled "Why All This Didn't Happen in 2012," referring to his failed 2011 prophecy that Donald Trump would be elected that year.
(See Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 127, ISBN: 9780998142678)

This is revealing because, as noted in the first chapter, Taylor later claimed, "I thought it might have been for 2012, but it was actually for 2016." In chapter two, I showed that his prophecy was clearly for 2012. If he genuinely believed it was for 2016, he would not have needed a section explaining why it failed in 2012. He included that section of explanation because he knows careful readers will notice the original date, and he needed a safeguard for his credibility.

Without revisiting details already covered in previous chapters, Taylor attempted in his book to justify his horse divination. Despite claiming his prophecy did not fail because it pointed to 2016, he said he received another prophecy explaining why the 2012 version failed:
"The Spirit of God says, 'The Church didn't recognize the last sign I gave them in Secretariat... Watch for the horse, watch for the horse.'"
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 127, ISBN: 9780998142678

In his book, Taylor prefaced this with Jonah 3 and Jeremiah 18 in a laughably absurd attempt to justify his horse divination. The absurdity is staggering. He expects readers to believe Old Testament prophets like Jonah and Jeremiah are akin to pagan diviners like himself, and Christians should note that many false prophets use this same deceptive tactic.

To recap: In Jeremiah 18, God stated clearly that if a nation repents and turns from evil, He will withhold prophesied punishment. If they persist in evil, He will withhold prophesied blessing. Over the next few pages, Taylor offered excuses for his prophecy's failure, but he never mentioned the people's repentance or turning from sin; rather, he simply claimed it was "delayed" because they failed to focus on a horse.

I am not kidding. I am not exaggerating. Read it for yourself: "The Spirit of God says... People might say, 'Why is God interested in a horse?' Because he is My creation, and he is a sign that I am giving My people for this generation."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 127, ISBN: 9780998142678

Taylor expects people to believe God embedded a secret message in a Kentucky Derby horse's name, decipherable only by Mark Taylor, and then blamed everyone else for not recognizing it. If that was not absurd enough, no one at the time had ever heard of Mark Taylor, and I would expect that most of the world still today has no idea who he is. How were they supposed to recognize this sign? Where in the Bible did Jesus instruct Christians to monitor the Kentucky Derby for coded hints from God?

Taylor first cites Scripture about God's mercy in response to repentance, then commits a false equivalence by claiming his prophecy failed because people did not "recognize" it. A few pages later he returns to repentance, but in a strange way, urging the church to repent—not of sin, but of something else:
"America is not under judgment... Contrary to popular belief, judgment is not coming to the people in the general American public. It is heading for our government systems and the Church. It is we who must repent. The Church will be found guilty for these sins that we say are coming under judgment."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 134, ISBN: 9780998142678

Let's pause that quote for a moment to address something odd: What sin does Taylor mean? What sin is the world NOT committing that the church IS committing? I do not claim Christians are sinless or that God never chastens His children, but with rampant pride, drunkenness, drugs (i.e. sorcery), fornication, theft, covetousness, murder, and every other crime filling America, why is the nation as a whole not under judgment?

As discussed in the previous chapter, judgment means receiving information and discerning truth from falsehood. Even a nation blessed by God remains under judgment. God judges both good and evil in man. We are constantly under His judgment, but if we remain impenitent (i.e. without grief for our wrongdoing), punishment follows.

But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God;
-Romans 2:5

Taylor's claim that America is not under God's judgment is pure NAR nonsense. He says God is displeased with the church as a whole and explains:
"Only one example is all of the babies who die by abortion each year. The blood of those babies is not on 'America's hands,' but on 'the Church's hands.' How so? We are called to be the spiritual and moral compass of our country, are we not? We, the Army of God, are responsible to lead the way."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 134, ISBN: 9780998142678

Christ's church and Taylor's "Army of God" are two entirely different things. There is the true church of the Lord Jesus Christ—His disciples who hold to His doctrine in Scripture—and then there is the New Apostolic cult that Taylor promotes and fraudulently calls "the Church."

Consider a father who teaches his son to wash his hands after using the bathroom and sets the example himself. If the son refuses, the father may discipline the child, but according to Taylor, despite leading by example, the father should blame and punish himself for failing to be a "moral compass"—completely nonsensical.

Likewise, in Taylor's view, the church is guilty for the world's sins simply because it failed to set an example. Would this not make the church guilty of every sin the world commits? His claim is unrealistic and absurd. Many churchgoers in America have opposed abortion for decades, standing outside clinics with signs declaring "Abortion is Murder," so who exactly is Taylor accusing?

Americans have the liberty to ignore warnings against murdering their children and proceed anyway. They may face arrest and murder charges depending on their state, but they can still choose evil. I wrote an article and audio series exposing the hidden realities of abortion, but when people ignore my warnings and murder their children, how are they NOT guilty and deserving of punishment?
(See "Abortion: Paganism, Satanism, Sacrifices and Witchcraft" at creationliberty.com for details.)

Taylor claims "America is not under judgment" for these sins, but by some incomprehensible leap of logic, we Christians are all guilty and worthy of punishment for those sins. None of this makes sense—neither logically nor Biblically.

Taylor says "the Church" failed to lead by example and guide the people to righteousness, but he is not part of Christ's church. He is a false convert of a corrupt religious cult, and therefore, he is quite possibly doing nothing more than projecting his own failure onto others.

Ultimately, if I had to guess, I would say that it all comes back to his "deliverence" ideology, which we have already established is witchcraft. So because churchgoers have not performed the witchcraft of "deliverence ministry" like Taylor, they have "failed to lead by example."

Like most churchianity cults, Taylor exploits abortion—a political hot button among churchgoers—because it stirs emotion. By mentioning "the blood of those babies," he cloaks himself in a façade of righteousness. Though many churchgoers are laden with sin and unfaithful to the Scriptures they claim to follow, Taylor uses this as a rallying cry to draw them into his "Army," and as shown in chapter four, this aligns with the NAR agenda to lead people into an ecumenical religion that will eventually swear allegiance to the final antichrist.

Taylor knows true Christians (whom he falsely labels "fake" Christians) are out there exposing his false prophecies, and he fiercely opposes them to keep his audience from hearing the truth. As one exposing him, I am unconcerned by his false accusations because he is nothing more than a coward who refuses to engage in debate. Whether anyone hears and understands the truth is the work of the Holy Spirit—I cannot (and will not) force anyone to hear, nor do I have power to open a man's understanding.

And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
-Luke 24:44-45

My role is to teach the truth and make it available. If people choose not to listen, that is their decision. However, Taylor accuses those who preach the truth of evil and sin. In his willful blindness and pride, he warns people like me against "touching God's anointed," a favorite tactic of false prophets and their cult followers:

Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
-1 Chronicles 16:22

First, how have I touched Mark Taylor? In what way have I personally harmed him? I have not touched him, wronged him, nor desire to do so. I have simply quoted his words, compared them to evidence and Scripture, and proven he is a liar and false prophet.

So because Taylor is a false prophet, 1 Chronicles 16:22 does not apply to him. Moreover, in context, that verse rebukes kings. Wicked rulers sent law enforcement to arrest God's true prophets while the people cheered and mocked them, because true prophets refused to deliver the feel-good messages the masses wanted to hear:

He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes, Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
-1 Chronicles 16:21-22

I return this word of caution to Mark Taylor and all his followers. When speaking of Paul's writings, Peter warned:

As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
-2 Peter 3:16

Those who twist Scripture to justify idolatry (such as worshiping false prophets), conceal their divination, and manipulate others into believing lies, do so to their own destruction. I wrote this book in part to turn idolaters from false prophets and toward Jesus Christ. Knowing few would listen, I wrote it primarily to protect the brethren in Christ, so they might hear and understand the Word of God and guard themselves against wicked men like Mark Taylor, who seek to deceive Christ's flock for personal gain.

Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness. But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.
-2 Peter 3:17-18

The New Apostolic cults—brimming with false converts—do not teach the truth of Jesus Christ, nor can they comprehend it. (1Co 2:14) God will judge them when He sees fit, whether now or after this life—including Mark Taylor and the NARs who refuse to heed the Scriptures.

Just when you might have thought Mark Taylor's absurdity had reached its limit, prepare yourself for the wacky things he has publicly declared...
 


As I briefly mentioned in the previous chapter, I had to track down Mark Taylor's statements from various sources because his YouTube channel was removed, likely due to YouTube's anti-free speech censorship. Taylor frequently spoke against Covid vaccines and election fraud. (I abandoned my own YouTube channel in January 2021, knowing it was too risky to continue. I had already received several unjustified strikes in prior years, and they had been shadowbanning people for a decade.) Finding Taylor's videos has become extremely difficult, which made research for this book far more challenging—forcing me to rely on sources I would normally avoid to obtain audio clips of him speaking.
(See Mark Taylor, Former YouTube Channel, retrieved Oct 27, 2022, [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOcxxWkbqDn6TiFcez9XUPQ])

The Rumble channel "Prophetic Truth Network" (created in spring 2022) does not explicitly state that Mark Taylor owns it. However, its banner (as of 2022) featured a firetruck and firefighter emergency lights, and every video showcases Taylor, making it obvious who runs the channel.
(See Mark Taylor, "Prophetic Truth Network," retrieved Nov 25, 2022, [https://rumble.com/c/c-1595695])

Taylor is an odd character. He speaks rapidly and fervently about everything, yet he often stumbles over his words and produces a jumble of word salad. He uses vague phrases without clear explanation and repeats himself constantly. In his passionate but muddled speeches, Taylor claims to offer "prophetic meaning" that, upon investigation, proves entirely wrong.

In one interview Taylor said:
"Trump's ten steps ahead of everybody, and when you listen to him speak, everytime he would say the word 'covid', switch that out with the word 'cabal'. Everytime he would say, 'What is the cure?' Everytime he would say vaccine, what is the vaccine? We the People and the military... [Trump] is so much far ahead of the game. So the vaccine is the cure for what? The cabal! That's what's going to happen, I believe, when they release the vaccine."
-Mark Taylor, quoted by Telltale Fireside Chat, "One Of Trump's Biggest Supporters Turns On Him," Dec 11, 2021, retrieved Oct 7, 2022, [https://youtu.be/2_Y5iXRmFbo?t=755]

Many left-wing radicals have recorded Taylor's videos and quotes because he is an easy target for ridicule. His ramblings give them plenty of ammunition to paint right-wing activists as unhinged lunatics.

To demonstrate the absurdity of Taylor's thought process, consider the sentence "Mark Taylor is a prophet." If I replace the word "prophet" with "phony" (as he replaced "covid" with "cabal") and apply his method of interpretation, we would conclude that God is really making Taylor tell everyone he is a phony, but in coded words.

phony (n): a counterfeit or fake; an insincere, pretentious, or deceitful person
(See 'phony', Random House Dictionary, 2022, [dictionary.com]; See also Collins English Dictionary, 10th Edition, William Collins Sons & Co, 2012)

I firmly believe Mark Taylor is a fraud, and I have presented substantial evidence in this book to prove it, but this approach to interpretation is not logical. It is designed only to fuel confirmation bias. Substituting one word for another that shares the same first letter is not a logical argument to prove Taylor's deceit (in my mock example), just as is it also not a logical way to reveal a hidden code in Donald Trump's words.

Around the time Trump spoke about the coronavirus vaccine in 2021, several people speculated the same thing Taylor did. They suggested Trump used code words because they could not understand why he endorsed a vaccine that some of us already knew was causing millions of injuries and deaths. Knowing these theories were already in circulation at the time, it convinced me that Taylor simply repackages public gossip as "prophetic words" to inflate his spiritual status.

A primary reason Taylor clings to these absurd word-replacement theories is that, as shown in earlier chapters, he applies the same tactic to his own so-called "prophecies." He believes swapping words imparts special meaning. This raises a critical question for his followers: If Taylor manipulates the interpretation of others' words, how can you be certain his prophecies reflect what he claims to have received from the "Spirit of God"? Could he have reinterpreted his own prophecies (in Seuss-style rhyme) to artificially assign the meaning he wanted it to have?

If you claim that is impossible, how do you know? On what basis do you know Taylor did not insert his own meaning into his prophecies? If your answer "because he is a prophet," then you have fallen into a vicious circle of reasoning, where the conclusion (i.e. Taylor is a prophet) rests on the assumption (i.e. Taylor is a prophet) without any evidence.

Taylor does not realize that applying his word-replacement theory to Trump undermines his own credibility. He has no evidence to support it. If his followers were honest, they would acknowledge the possibility that he fabricates these prophecies from his own assumptions and public rumors, just as he did with Trump's words.

In the last chapter, we read from Taylor's 2015 prophecy called "Time Is Up," in which he wrote that God was "neutering" Obama. As I said before, this phrasing is odd enough because God never spoke this way when pronouncing judgment on the leaders of nations in Scripture, but it became even stranger when Taylor added the "ing" ending.

The "ing" makes it a present participle, indicating that God was actively in the process of "neutering" Obama. We do not know what that means—unless Obama's testicles are being sliced off slowly over the course of years. It was apparently meant as an analogy, but an undefined one that implied information rather than conveying a clear meaning we can all understand.

We cannot discern whether Taylor's so-called "prophecy" is meant as an analogy at any point because the rest of it is supposed to be taken literally. He called Obama a liar—is that literal or metaphorical? He called Obama a thief—is that literal or metaphorical? When God used analogy in Scripture, He clarified it with clear examples. (e.g. "Shadow of thy wings" in Psa 36:7 clearly refers to a mother bird shielding her young, as He prefaced it with "the children of men put their trust.") With Taylor's use of "neutering," we have no such connection to a metaphorical meaning.

Taylor went on to write:
"The Spirit of God says, 'Time is up for those who are corrupt! For I shall begin to remove those who stand for evil in leadership and stand in the way of my agenda. Judges, Senators, Congressmen and women of all kinds, even in the local, state, and federal lines.'"
-Mark Taylor, "Time Is Up," Nov 17, 2015, retrieved Oct 20, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/11-07-15_time_is_up.pdf]

I found it odd that Taylor mentioned judges, senators, and congressmen, but then added "women" after congressmen. Without Taylor's divine revelation, we would never have known that the Almighty God, Creator of all time, space, and matter, watches mainstream television and feels compelled to be politically correct to appease feminists by including "women" when referencing government offices.

Women are already included in those titles because they hold the same roles. The Bible frequently uses "men" to refer to all people without needing to mention women separately, because they are part of "mankind." It also uses words like "kings" or "princes" for generalized leadership roles that may include both men and women. God has no need to virtue-signal with feminine adjectives, but Taylor inserted "women" solely to cater to feminist political ideology.

Furthermore, what did Taylor mean by "kinds"? Judges vary by levels of authority and types of cases, but they are not classified as different "kinds" of judges. There are various types of courts (family court, criminal court, traffic court, appellate court, etc), but all judges perform the same core role: they compare facts and evidence to discern truth. Their function changes only slightly according to the court's focus. Furthermore, there are not different "kinds" of senators and congressmen, only differences in location and scope, so Taylor's so-called "prophecy" lacked any real meaning behind the word "kind," other than the Dr. Seuss prophet needed it to make his words rhyme.

Though some readers may find it trivial to scrutinize a man's words so closely, I offer two points. First, Taylor claims these are the words of the Living God, who cannot err or lie, so they demand the utmost seriousness. Second, the old saying is true: "The devil is in the details."

It is important to highlight Taylor's specific words and their functions because he frequently inserts political and cultural idioms into his prophecies. We saw this in earlier chapters when he called God "Commander-in-Chief" or described an election as a "clean sweep." Some may argue that the apostles in Scripture had varied writing styles, but idioms are not merely style. They carry implied meanings tied to one's background—religion, ethnicity, nationality, and interests—which limits comprehension for people from other cultures, unlike direct contextual or grammatical meaning that is universally clear.

idiom (n): an expression whose meaning is not predictable from the usual meanings of its constituent elements, or from the general grammatical rules of a language
(See 'idiom', Random House Dictionary, 2022, [dictionary.com]; See also Collins English Dictionary, 10th Edition, William Collins Sons & Co, 2012)

For instance, imagine visiting England and hearing someone say, "Oi, that Trump's ledge! He's minted with a dishy bonnie!" This generally means Donald Trump is a legend with a lot of money and an attractive wife. Though written in English, most readers would find it confusing until clarified, because idioms from other cultures often feel like another language.

In another example, I was going to use the verb description "quantum leap" in this book in one paragraph, which was to imply a person traveling to a different point in time and space and taking over the body of someone else. I meant this in a comedic manner, demonstrating the stupidity of a claim, but many readers may not understand the "quantum leap" reference (because it refers to an old TV show), so I just went with "swap bodies with" instead, so everyone could clearly understand my meaning.

This is one of many ways to identify false prophets: they speak for themselves, from their own perspective, not for God and His perspective. Desperate to keep their prophecies vague and open to loose interpretation—while entertaining their audience and securing copyrights—false prophets often use idioms, which are inherently flawed because of implied meaning.

After listening to Mark Taylor's interviews, I can confidently state that most of his statements are feel-good messages promoting the New Apostolic cult, but occasionally he makes remarks that cause me to pause and exclaim, "Whoa! What did he just say?!" If you are born again in Christ, study the doctrines of Scripture carefully, and investigate Taylor for yourself, you will quickly understand what I mean.

For example, Taylor said this when discussing the end days:
"The Bible also says that a thousand years is as a day to God. Well, if that's the case, the Lord told me, he said, 'Mark, took me six days to make the earth.' That's six thousand years."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor Expose' Part 3," Jeremiah's Grotto, July 22, 2017, retrieved Oct 12, 2022, [https://youtu.be/NPcGyLtrX6Y?t=946]

First, consider the Scripture Taylor referenced:

But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
-2 Peter 3:8

It is odd that Taylor said, "Well, IF that's the case, the Lord told me," because either Scripture is true or it is not. We do not need a contingency. Of course, I am not saying it is wrong to construct a logical argument such as "If X is true, then Z is the result," but that is a binary statement: both X and Z are either true or not true. Taylor claims that if the sentence is true, the Lord told him something, but if it is not true, the Lord did not tell him something—which is as meaningless as saying "it is what it is."

Imagine for a moment that I said, "God is only real if you believe in Him." That is a nonsensical statement. For something to qualify as fact, it must hold true independent of personal belief or opinion. This book does not become true or false based on whether you believe it, because truth exists apart from our opinions.

Either God spoke to Taylor or He did not. The truth of our own testimony does not depend on whether someone else's testimony is true. By saying, "If this Scripture is true, then God spoke to me," Taylor opens the possibility that the Scripture may not be true, and that reveals his lack of faithfulness in his own status of "prophet."

The context of 2 Peter 3 addresses how time holds no significance to God because He exists outside of it. This encourages the church that the Lord has not forgotten His promises or forsaken us. He is longsuffering, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance:

The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
-2 Peter 3:9

New-age religious cultists like Mark Taylor misuse 2 Peter 3:8 out of context to claim secret wisdom. They treat it as a mathematical equation, asserting that every time God mentions a day, He secretly means a thousand years. This is the erroneous decoder method Taylor learned from the false teachers he follows. Whenever God has used a particular standard of measurement that departs from the norm in Scripture, He has made His intent clear, without relying on innuendos or implied meanings that require us to guess.

Taylor went on to claim that the earth has not yet reached six thousand years of age, citing the Hebrew calendar, and thus concluded that the end of the world cannot occur until that milestone. This is a major assumption not found in Scripture and amounts to a false prophecy echoed by countless fake preachers over the past couple hundred years.
(Read "Numerology is Occult Divination" at creationliberty.com for details.)

We Christians discern the general season of the end through the signs Jesus gave us, but no man knows the day or the hour. (Mat 24:36) No man can predict the final day or even the precise year. Witchcraft, divination, and numerology offer nothing trustworthy, and countless false prophets have tried and failed miserably over the past 2,000 years.
(Read "The Beginner's Guide to Christian Rapture" & Corruptions of Christianity: Seventh-day Adventism here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

As we have already seen, Taylor frequently uses the phrase "The Lord told me" or "The Lord showed me" to convince his audience that he receives direct personal messages from God. This sleight-of-hand tactic is a cheap trick many churchgoers exploit to gain undue respect for their persons—which is sin, as defined in James 2:9—and to silence criticism by cloaking their words in claims of divine ordination.

I have already provided tons of evidence in this book that Taylor is a liar and false prophet, but I am about to show you hard proof of it. Taylor claimed it took God 6,000 years to create the world and the universe around us, but that is NOT what the Bible teaches, and the context of Scripture makes the timeframe abundantly clear:

Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
-Exodus 20:9-11

The Lord God created the heavens and the earth in six literal 24-hour days, just as we experience them now. Anyone who teaches otherwise must then apply their changes to the 7-day work week the Jews observed, which is the same work week we still use today. Taylor needs to explain why he thinks the Jews needed to work six thousand years and then rest a thousand, because any interpretation other than six 24-hour days creates many contradictions throughout the Bible.
(Read "Evolutionism: Another New-Age Religion" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

It is not only me, but Jesus Christ Himself who said that if you do not believe what Moses wrote, then you cannot believe Christ either. Therefore, if you do not believe that the universe, including this world and all creatures therein, was made in six literal 24-hour days, then you do not trust Jesus:

For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
-John 5:46-47

In another interview, Taylor spoke of his belief in Satanic frequencies that constantly broadcast through the atmosphere, altering mankind's DNA and making people hate Donald Trump. This is not hyperbole—read it for yourself:




"That frequency that Satan sent out on November 8th, I believe has to do with that DNA part because their DNA—but, then people will say, 'Well, I have the DNA of Jesus Christ.' Well, yes, you may be saved, this, that, and the other, but you have to cleanse your bloodline, and the only way to do that, like Melissa's been saying, is bloodline repentance. So, you want to be able to truly have your DNA handed over to the Lord, and yield it over to the Lord Jesus Christ because what's happening right now is that I wrote that prophetic word not too long ago, about Satan's frequency, and people are picking up on the frequency of Satan right now... this is what happens when you're tapped into the enemy's frequency... because it's Satan's frequency, and this bombardment of frequencies that we have going on right now, it's been proven scientifically that it will literally change your DNA, and that's what's happening to a lot of Christians. That's why you're getting a lot of Christians that are bashing Donald Trump... their DNA's being controlled right now by the enemy because they're being bombarded by these frequences."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor: 'Satan's Frequency' Is Changing DNA To Make People Hate Trump," Right Wing Watch, Sept 5, 2017, retrieved Oct 26, 2022, [https://youtu.be/o4RkKybLS1Q]

When I listened to this, I was nearly speechless. I struggled to know where even to begin to address this. We are looking at someone who talks endlessly, but says nothing of substance. Taylor repeated the same lines over and over with slight variations in wording, thereby fooling a multitude of simple-minded people through much speaking.

A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
-Ecclesiastes 10:14

He repeated this idea far more than I documented here—I cut it down for brevity—but if you read it carefully or listen to the original audio, you will see he is saying the same thing in each sentence, just rearranged. Taylor never defined what he meant by "frequencies," though he alluded to music and television. We are left to conclude that he believes radio or television frequencies are altering people's DNA worldwide to make them hate Donald Trump.

The original videos Taylor published on this subject are no longer available on YouTube, but after searching I found discussions of them. I cannot verify every detail, but he claimed music played at 440hz is an "unholy" Satanic frequency, while 444hz is "God's frequency"—once again providing no sources or evidence.

Mark Taylor heavily implied that his "Satanic frequencies" theory goes far beyond radio and television. He spoke of a major "Satanic frequency" released on November 8th—election day in the United States—that supposedly altered DNA to prevent people from voting for Trump. After all, Taylor had prophesied a second consecutive Trump victory and needed an excuse for its failure, even though we Christians know the REAL prophecies of God NEVER fail.

Taylor's philosophy on this flows directly from the core beliefs of the New Apostolic Reformation cult we examined in chapter four. Unable to cast out the demons within himself, he turned to NAR soothsayers and psychics such as the "deliverance minister" Melissa Leggett, submitting to ritualistic ceremonies and repeat-after-me prayers to "purge curses" from his bloodline.

In my opinion, he failed miserably. Only extraordinary foolishness or devil possession could produce what Taylor said with such grave seriousness. This would normally seem comical, but sadly he leads thousands toward the wide gates of hell with messages like these—cheap sensationalism that draws people in and then steers them to a false gospel.

Anyone who claims to possess the "DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid] of Jesus" demonstrates complete ignorance of Scripture. They have swallowed a false gospel of spiritual renewal of the flesh, which the Bible does not teach. From the way Taylor spoke of it positively rather than rebuking it, he appears to endorse this "Jesus DNA" nonsense.

Though the Lord Jesus Christ has mercy on His children in the flesh while they live in this world, He did not come to save our flesh. He came to save our souls, which have no DNA.

God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must
worship him in spirit and in truth.
-John 4:24

Beware of dogs [those who teach works doctrine of salvation, like Mark Taylor], beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. [the cutting of the flesh as proof of "righteousness"] For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.
-Philippians 3:2-3

Claiming to have "the DNA of Jesus" means putting confidence in the flesh. When Paul says, "we are the circumcision," he refers to the circumcision of the heart that the Lord taught the Jews in the Old Testament:

Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your
heart, and be no more stiffnecked.
-Deuteronomy 10:16

Stiffnecked people are arrogant and stubborn, and they almost always reject reasonable conversation. Men like Mark Taylor embody this, which is why he refuses discussion with anyone who uses the Holy Scriptures as a foundation to oppose him. His sparse understanding of doctrine would cause him to lose a debate with a veteran Christian.

We have seen Taylor turn to witchcraft, seek vainglory through self-worship, and practice idolatry by worshiping Donald Trump. Therefore, Samuel—a true prophet of God—makes perfect sense when he declared:

For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.
-1 Samuel 15:23

Notice that Taylor did NOT say "Satan's frequency" was making people hate Jesus Christ. He has no concern about that. True prophets rebuke the sins of mankind and point them to the Messiah, Jesus Christ, while Taylor makes people feel good about themselves and points them to his "messiah," Donald Trump.

If the evidence I have presented so far does not convince you that Mark Taylor worships Donald Trump, consider what he stated on Jim Bakker's corrupt show. Taylor declared that Donald Trump is secretly a prophet of God:
"BAKKER: So do you think he [Trump] has a gifting?
TAYLOR: Absolutely. I mean, I've seen it time and time again. This prophetic gift he has—intuition, as some people call it—it's actually a prophetic gift. I think the man is called to be a prophet, myself."
-Jim Bakker & Mark Taylor, "Divine Justice Is Coming Mark Taylor," The Jim Bakker Show, retrieved Nov 17, 2022, [https://archive.org/details/DivineJusticeIsComingMarkTaylor]

This is unbiblical presumption. In side-by-side comparison, it is exactly what witches believe and teach. For example, this author from Living Wicca Today describes the pagan view of intuition, and claims it is divine communication:
"Intuition is an important line of communication to the Divine. It's the ability to know or sense something without the use of rational processes. This ability has also been referred to as a gut-feeling, your inner-voice, your higher-self, or even your guardian angel. The name you give this quiet voice within really doesn't matter, as long as you understand that this is how the Divine often communicates with you. Learning to listen to and follow your intuition can provide you with the wisdom and guidance of a higher power as you face the challenges of everyday life."
-Kardia, "Intuition - Your Direct Line to a Higher Power," Living Wicca Today, Feb 28, 2022, retrieved Nov 17, 2022, [https://wicca.com/livingwiccatoday/intuition-your-direct-line-to-a-higher-power]

The Wiccan author's definition of intuition is correct, but her interpretation is wrong. Intuition is the mind reasoning out truth or falsehood before you can articulate it. It is a super-fast reasoning process that develops when you have exercised your mind on a subject for a long time.

For example, Donald Trump can spot a bad business deal instantly because he has handled thousands of them. His experience gives him a sharp advantage. Likewise, when young Christians come to me with questions about false teachers, I can often expose the deception in moments because I confront such lies daily. This is not mysticism; rather, it is what the Bible calls exercised discernment:

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
-Hebrews 5:12-14

Those who have exercised senses to discern good and evil are those who have devoted themselves to studying God's Word and applying its doctrines. In contrast, Mark Taylor and other witches simply "feel" what they suppose is truth, label it "intuition," and charge ahead without checking whether their "gut-feeling" came from reasoned understanding or amounted to nothing more than passing gas.

For Christians, intuition can be right or wrong depending on what the mind has been trained to do. Good intuition can later be confirmed with sound reasoning and evidence, but it should never be treated as final authority until the facts are examined.

Note also that in the clip Taylor urged people to "stop listening to mainstream news media," which is something I have also warned Christians about, but there is a difference. Taylor's "prophecies" were built on mainstream news reporting. It only makes sense that this hypocrite does not want his audience listening to the same sources he uses, so they remain unaware when he recycles them.

In another interview, Taylor claimed Louisiana suffers violent hurricanes because the state produces what he calls "Baal's food source":
"Why did Louisiana get hit with all these hurricanes? People kept wondering. That's why, right there. It's because that's Baal's food source, the abortion, because they know that when one state sets precedent, others will follow."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor | Prophetic Word | Mark Taylor Prophecy Warning 2021," Apr 19, 2021, retrieved Nov 18, 2022, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yd2LQ4JF37E&t=1117s]

This statement is extraordinarily vague. After listening multiple times, I could only conclude one of two things: either Taylor claimed hurricanes strike Louisiana because abortions occur there, or because Louisiana restricted them. In short, whether abortion was legal or restricted, Taylor asserts they both equally serve as justification for divine punishment.

Taylor either does not know what he is talking about or he lied to his audience, both of which are common with him. Before this statement, he said:
"Louisiana had an amendment 1 on their ballot, and that was to make abortion illegal, and it passed."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor | Prophetic Word | Mark Taylor Prophecy Warning 2021," Apr 19, 2021, retrieved Nov 18, 2022, [https://youtu.be/yd2LQ4JF37E?t=1105]

He made this claim in April 2021, fourteen months before Roe v. Wade was overturned. Louisiana voters had approved an amendment clarifying that the state constitution would not secure or protect a right to abortion or require its funding. This did NOT make abortion illegal, because Roe v. Wade was still in effect; rather, it simply prevented citizens from claiming a state constitutional "right" to abortion or forcing the state to fund abortions with tax dollars.
(See Ballotpedia, "Louisiana Amendment 1, No Right to Abortion in Constitution Amendment (2020)," retrieved Nov 18, 2022, [https://ballotpedia.org/Louisiana_Amendment_1,_No_Right_to_Abortion_in_Constitution_Amendment_(2020)])

Louisiana had a trigger law on the books since 2006, so once Roe v. Wade was overturned and authority returned to the states, the law would automatically ban abortion. That happened in June 2022. For Taylor to claim Louisiana had already made abortion illegal exposes either profound ignorance or an outright lie.

Taylor presumed to speak prophetically by interpreting hurricanes as divine punishment for abortion in Louisiana. This forces one of two absurd conclusions: God punished Louisiana for performing abortions, or "Baal" punished them for restricting abortions (indicating God granted "Baal" control over the weather). Either way, his argument collapses. Louisiana had trigger laws for nearly two decades, so there was no justification for punishment over something they could not yet control, nor any sense in handing weather dominion to "Baal."

The region now known as Louisiana has endured hurricanes for thousands of years, with verifiable records dating back to its admission as a state in 1812. According to Taylor, we must believe it suffered these storms even before cities existed, all because of abortion, and for some incomprehensible reason only Louisiana specifically.
(See Amie Just & Emma Discher, "What hurricanes have hit Louisiana in recorded history? How strong were they?" New Orleans Metro News, Aug 29, 2021, retrieved Nov 22, 2022, [https://www.nola.com/news/hurricane/what-hurricanes-have-hit-louisiana-in-recorded-history-how-strong-were-they-heres-a-list/article_4d11980c-08f2-11ec-864d-db7d7884b2dc.html])

If that were not confusing enough, consider this: Indiana, where I live, followed the exact same process with trigger laws. Once Roe v. Wade was overturned, our laws activated in September 2022. My question for Mark Taylor is simple: since we did precisely what Louisiana did, why have we suffered no hurricane?

None of this makes sense because Mark Taylor is a false prophet. He makes rash public statements without research and jumps to conclusions based on feelings rather than facts.

In his self-documentary, Taylor read from his July 8, 2016 prophecy called "Operation Let My People Go," in which he claimed an earthquake would be a sign of Trump's election:
"In this prophecy, it says 'A sign will be given, the earth shall quake, of who I have selected,' and he's talking about Donald Trump here. Four days after Donald Trump was elected, there was an earthquake in Christchurch, New Zealand, and that was the sign that was given. It was decimated. There's a reason, why because the Lord was saying there is a shaking coming to Christ's church."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor Trump Prophecy Censored Film - The Remnant Rescue Documentary (Part 1)," [https://youtu.be/NVDxYnrl6Wc?t=2739]

There is much to unpack here. First, earthquakes strike somewhere in the world multiple times each week.

This means I could "prophesy" an earthquake as a sign when the Federal Reserve crashes the fiat dollar, and at least three or four countries experience quakes on average each week, so once the event occurs, I could simply pick whichever one suits a believable "sign" and claim fulfillment. That is NOT prophesying! Wicked men like Mark Taylor use this tactic to scam simple-minded people into believing his so-called "divine" revelation.

On the very day Donald Trump was first elected president—November 8, 2016—a magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck Chile. Why did Taylor not declare this the fulfillment of his prophecy? It would have made his fraudulent claim far more convincing. Why did he not say the earthquake in Chile was a divine sign for Americans that they would feast on more chili under Trump's prosperous reign?

Three days later, on November 11, 2016, a magnitude 6.1 earthquake struck Japan northeast of Ishinomaki. Why did Taylor not claim fulfillment? I do not wish to give ideas to his corrupt mind, but since Ishinomaki roughly translates to "rolling stone," why did he not declare that the stone the builders rejected was now on the move?

On November 13, five days after the election, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck near Amberley, New Zealand—NOT Christchurch. Taylor creates his "prophecies" from mainstream media reports (i.e. the same media he tells his audience to ignore), which is why he confused the locations. Amberley lies about 31 miles (50 km) northeast of Christchurch, but the media labeled it a "Christchurch quake" for sensational headlines. Soon after, more magnitude 6.0-6.5 quakes hit Blenheim, roughly 100 miles (160 km) northeast of Christchurch.

A tsunami of about eight feet caused significant damage along the eastern coast and claimed two lives. Taylor claimed Christchurch was "decimated"—a bald-faced lie. The city suffered far worse damage earlier that year in the Valentine's Day Earthquake (which created new cliffs that cut off roads) and, worst of all, in the devastating 2011 quake that killed 185 people.

Ultimately, Taylor chose the New Zealand quake as "fulfillment" because the mainstream media's label contained the words "Christ" and "church." (i.e. the Lord was saying there is a shaking coming to Christ's church) Mark Taylor has the mind of a foolish child practicing divination.

Christchurch was named because of Catholic and Church of England influence, both of which teach antichrist doctrines and practice heretical rituals. It has NOTHING to do with Christ's true church. The city was established by sponsorship from the Church of England through John Godley (a name many in New Zealand are familiar with because so many areas are named after him) at the request of Edward Wakefield, and was approved by John Sumner, the Archbishop of Canterbury in cooperation with the members of the New Zealand Parliament, but the church of the Lord Jesus Christ had no part in it.
(Read Corruptions of Christianity: Catholicism at creationliberty.com for details.)

Once again, Taylor used buzz words to make Apostolic churchgoers tingle. He spoke of a "shaking" coming to the church, which triggers them to convulse in demonic delusions, laugh like madmen, and scream their Satanic gibberish that they falsely call "speaking in tongues."
(Read Speaking in Tongues vs Charismatic Gibberish at creationliberty.com for details.)

If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?
-1 Corinthians 14:23

At the end of an interview, the host complimented Taylor on his wonderful "gift of prophecy." Taylor replied:
"[33:08] I don't take any glory for it. I give it all to the Lord Jesus Christ. Period. I don't have a degree of any kind hanging on my wall. I'm just an everyday, normal, common guy, and ANYBODY can do this."
-Mark Taylor, "Full Interview: Trump Prophecy with Prophet Mark Taylor on COVID and 2020 Election," The Joe Padula Show, Dec 20, 2020, retrieved, Nov 1, 2022, [https://rumble.com/vc1p9p-full-interview-trump-prophecy-with-prophet-mark-taylor-on-covid-and-2020-el.html]

This statement contains several major problems, the first of which is self-glorification, an evident contradiction of his presumed humility. After spending half an hour exalting himself, he tosses in one mention of Jesus Christ at the end, thinking it will make him appear humble. He has done this repeatedly. I have watched him on a two-hour nationally broadcast program where he never once uttered the name of Jesus Christ, demonstrating that his true purpose is to glorify himself and Donald Trump. The next issue is that Taylor declared, "ANYBODY can do this." He stressed the word heavily. This should be a HUGE warning to avoid Taylor.

Nowhere in the Bible does the Lord give a list of actions we can perform by our own power to receive the gift of prophecy. Prophets are not trained by the works of men. We cannot summon a channel to the power and knowledge of God through our own merits. No one can attend a "prophecy school"—that is witchcraft, not prophecy. It is NOT true that "ANYBODY" can prophesy the future, because such gifts are given solely by God according to His will.

However, I do believe "ANYBODY can do" what Mark Taylor does, but what he practices is divination—the perverse craft of witches. Anyone can watch television, read news, or browse websites, learn the names of winning horses, and craft "prophecies" from them. I demonstrated that earlier. Anybody can practice witchcraft, but true prophesying comes only from the grace of God, not the efforts of men.

For example, I have often said anyone can do what I do because I am simply a teacher of Christ given ordinary gifts of wisdom and understanding. There is nothing miraculous about what I do. With diligent effort and God's guidance through Scripture, anyone can do the same, but my statement stands FAR apart from Taylor's claim. Receiving visions and messages of future events is extraordinary and miraculous, and he foolishly asserts anyone can achieve it because he confuses true prophecy with the deceptions of divination.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.
-James 1:5-6

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
-2 Timothy 2:15

In James 1:5, the Lord says all who seek His wisdom will receive it. With God's wisdom and diligent study, anyone can do what I do, but nowhere does God promise that if we ask to see the future, He will grant it. Only those He personally chooses will receive such revelation because the gift of prophecy is not open to just "anybody."

Mark Taylor has made many bizarre statements over the years, but as we learn more about who he is, what he believes, and what he seeks to achieve, his strange claims begin to align. They align not because they are logical or Biblical, but because they fit pagan ideology—rooted in his hopeless circular reasoning, new-age ecumenical beliefs, and witchcraft practices.
 


I have engaged with hundreds of Mark Taylor worshipers on social media, and a recurring accusation pops up: they label me "501c3" or scoff, "I bet you're 501c3." They imply that because I challenge their sacred cow, Mark Taylor, I must hold a 501(c)(3) contract with the IRS. I have never held any such contract, and in fact, I authored the book 501c3: The Devil's Church to explain why Christians need to avoid it.


As I showed in the book's introduction, Taylor himself endorsed my book in his 2017 publication and referenced me because he learned about 501c3 from my work. He admitted in a 2016 email that he studied my book to understand the corruptions of 501c3, but after I exposed him as a false prophet, he tried to cover up that connection.

Taylor also quoted excerpts from my book. Here is what he said before he started quoting me:


"All we need to do for any further confirmation of where we as the Church have placed ourselves is to take a look at the list of who our fiscally neighboring corporations are under the 501(c)(3). See this excerpt from an article by Creation Liberty Evangelism..."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next, Defender Publishing, Jan 1, 2017, p. 203, [https://amzn.to/3QIF7HW]

In their willful blindness, Taylor worshipers condemn me on this very point. Here is one example from X.com, where user Robert Smart (@bmxministry) accused me of being 501c3 simply because I exposed some of Taylor's false prophecies:


"Which 501(c)3 in covenant with Baal, Babylon the devil are you in? God says don't make merchandise of God's people. Don't spread false reports. Do the commandments of God & keep the faith of Jesus. 1 must be born again. 'Immediately after the tribulation...' —JESUS CHRIST"
-Robert P. Smart (@bmxministry), posted Mar 16, 2025, [https://x.com/bmxministry/status/1901273465539436889]

If that comment seems confusing, get used to it. Taylor worshipers often respond with a jumbled mess of random thoughts. They have not studied the evidence, so they regurgitate Taylor's talking points to shield themselves from experiencing the headaches caused by cognitive dissonance.

I replied by showing the 2016 screenshot of Mark Taylor's email and asked, "Who do you think taught Taylor about 501c3?" Robert, like nearly every "bold" and "faithful" Taylor worshiper, blocked me.

This is the typical stubborn attitude of Taylor worshipers. If you engage them, expect it. Their cowardly guru, Mark Taylor, trains them to behave this way, and I will provide more evidence of that later.

The exchanges I have had with Taylor worshipers continue to astonish me. Just when I think I have seen every absurdity from the cult followers of false prophets, they surpass themselves with something even more ridiculous. As I review these examples, note that the numerous spelling and grammatical errors appear exactly as they do in the original posts and screenshots.

In August 2023, I engaged on Truth Social with a woman using the username "Kristylove." When she promoted Taylor to others, I pointed out his false prophecy concerning the Supreme Court (discussed in chapter five), and she replied:


"Thank you for the information. Learning about Baal system from Mark does not mean I believe him to be a prophet. He's a man who can hear God and is deep relationship with the Heavenly Father. I, too receive warnings and messages but I know that doesn't make me a prophetess. Some people are Seers not prophets. Some people are Evangelists and not Preachers. The only prophet I am aware of that has been consistent is Kim Clement. Is there another?"
-Kristylove (@KristyMooreHer), posted Aug 15, 2023, [https://truthsocial.com/@KristyMooreHer/posts/110894661014654921]

When someone says "thank you for the information," but refuses to investigate it and immediately justifies ignoring it, that statement is a lie. They cloak their rejection in feigned kindness to appear reasonable while remaining unreasonable.

Her response contains several problems: First, to shield herself from admitting Taylor is a false prophet, she shifted the goalposts by claiming he is not a prophet at all. She saw that his statement was clearly false, so she softened it by saying she does not "believe" he is a prophet. However, as established in chapter two, Taylor explicitly claims on his own website to be a prophet, and if he claims to be one but is not, then he is a liar.

She argues that Taylor is not a prophet, but merely a man in deep relationship with God who hears His voice and receives "warnings and messages" for the people. In her twisted ideology, Taylor supposedly delivers prophetic messages on God's behalf in a non-prophetic way—a completely nonsensical statement.

I apologize if I caused any confusion by not defining the word 'prophet' from the opening of this book. I had assumed the reading level of this book would not require defining "prophet" at the outset, but since Kristy lacks basic understanding of the term while presuming to instruct others, I must clarify it:

prophet (n): one that foretells future events; a predicter; a foreteller; in Scripture, a person illuminated, inspired or instructed by God to announce future events
(See 'prophet', American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster, 1828, retrieved Aug 17, 2023, [webstersdictionary1828.com])

The word 'prophet' carries a few meanings, but it boils down to two core concepts: either a general, ordinary sense of one who teaches from the written Word of God (like myself for example), or, specific to this context, one who receives direct instructions from God or His angels and delivers them to the people. Kristy then attempts a grammatical sleight-of-hand, claiming a "seer" differs from a "prophet," but that is NOT how God uses the terms in His Word:

(Beforetime in Israel, when a man went to enquire of God, thus he spake, Come, and let us go to the seer: for he that is now called a Prophet was beforetime called a Seer.)
-1 Samuel 9:9

And all Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the LORD.
-1 Samuel 3:20

And Samuel answered Saul, and said, I am the seer: go up before me unto the high place; for ye shall eat with me to day, and to morrow I will let thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart.
-1 Samuel 9:19

As we can see, the Bible contradicts Kristy, using the words "prophet" and "seer" interchangeably. However, false prophets play word games in an attempt to create a new "spiritual" identity that they hope will not be scrutinized by standard deductive reasoning.

For example, imagine a salesman in a used car lot approaches you to make a sale, and after signing the paperwork, you get in your purchased vehicle to drive it off the lot, only to find out it does not start. You would complain that the salesman sold you a faulty car, but if the man said he never told you he was a salesman, would that negate the fraud?

Whether he claims to be a salesman or not, he is guilty of fraud for selling you a faulty car. Likewise, whether a man claims to be a prophet or not, he is guilty of fraud for selling you a faulty prophecy.

Simply put, if anyone claims to hear from God, and tells others about that message, he is prophesying. It is the same as saying "Thus saith the Lord." This is why people must be extremely careful when they say they heard something from God—the consequences of pretentiousness can be severe.

Kristy goes even further with the absurd claim that "some people are evangelists and not preachers." In her blindness she fails to see that I am an evangelist, and I can testify from experience that evangelists are preachers because it is impossible to be an evangelist without preaching:

evangelist (n): a preacher or publisher of the gospel of Jesus Christ, licensed to preach, but not having charge of a particular church
(See 'evangelist', American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster, 1828, retrieved Aug 17, 2023, [webstersdictionary1828.com])

If that statement was not ridiculous enough, Kristy then shifted the goalpost again by pivoting to Kim Clement, whom I also exposed in my book False Prophet Profiles: Kim Clement. Not only has Clement issued hundreds of false prophecies, but Kristy claimed he was the ONLY prophet she knows of whom she deems "consistent," which implies she does not believe any of the prophets of Scripture (e.g. Moses, Isaiah, David, and the rest) were consistent.

I responded by asking if she remembered Kim Clement's 2010 prophecy that Barack Obama would receive the Holy Spirit that summer and change all his presidential policies to bless Americans. Obviously that never happened. Unless Obama can use a time machine to trade places with his former self, it is now impossible, which is one of many conclusive proofs that Clement was a false prophet.
(See Creation Liberty Evangelism Rumble Channel, "Obama Received the Holy Ghost in 2010?! (Kim Clement Prophecy), retrieved June 9, 2026, [https://rumble.com/v11u2wj-false-prophet-kim-clement-obama-prophecy-creationliberty.com.html])

In my reply I included a video link to the clip and the link to my free book. Here is the quote:


"There shall be a baptism of the Holy Spirit that shall take place in his [Obama's] life in the summer of this year [2010], and God said, it shall be so unusual, that the politics of this country shall be changed as a result of it, says the Lord."
(See Kim Clement, "False Prophet: Kim Clement - Obama Prophecy," Apr 21, 2022, [https://rumble.com/v11u2wj-false-prophet-kim-clement-obama-prophecy-creationliberty.com.html])

To dig her hole even deeper, Kristy responded with this:


"Psalm 35:19-20 Bless you may you [sic] find the fight you so desperately seek. The Holy Spirit does not reside in your comment. What resides is a false accusation, a nasty tone w [sic] a deep desire to alienate &fight. [sic] Seek the Kingdom of Heaven &be [sic] delivered from the evil one. If you're [sic] desire to expose prophets is so great; make a video, write a book or organize your thoughts in a pdf. Accusative comments will not get results you desire unless you desire to be blocked. Seriously rudeness not welcome."
-Kristylove (@KristyMooreHer), posted Aug 15, 2023, [https://truthsocial.com/@KristyMooreHer/posts/110894661014654921]

This is the standard virtue-signaling tactic used by many worshipers of false prophets. It follows this pattern:

And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
-2 Thessalonians 2:10

As soon as I presented the evidence, she turned me into her enemy. This proved once again that her "thank you for the information" comment was a lie. Readers should remember that facts rarely convert anyone, but it is the Christian's job to provide them nonetheless.

To her tantrum, I respond as Paul did to his opponents in Galatia:

Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
-Galatians 4:16

Kristy's statement, "Bless you may you find the fight you so desperately seek," contains two flaws. First, it assumes I seek a fight, when my only goal was to share the truth with her so she might come to the Lord Jesus Christ rather than the false "jesus" of the Apostolic cult. Second, her passive-aggressive tone reveals the very hatred she tries to disguise, because wishing someone to "find a fight" is no blessing.

There is little point in addressing the rest of her accusations in detail. They are mostly projection: she accuses me of the very things she herself is doing. She condemned my "nasty tone" while displaying her own. She accused me of alienating and warring, yet that is exactly what she did to me.

Keep in mind that all I did was ask if she remembered the quotes I provided, and she threw a raging tantrum. Instead of discussing the facts in good faith with the "kindness" she claimed to represent, she quarreled and threatened to block me, but I care little whether people block me on social media—it happens all the time.

The most laughable part was her claim, "If your desire to expose prophets is so great; make a video, write a book." I had already sent her a video link with Clement's exact words, and each response had links to my free-to-read books on both Clement and Taylor. In her blind rage she ignored the very things she demanded of me, and the Bible declares that answering a matter before hearing it makes one a fool who ought to be ashamed:

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
-Proverbs 18:13

I also interacted with someone using the username "JOMAMA," whose account handle was @nickcooper, so I will refer to him as "Nick." I quoted Mark Taylor practicing horse divination (covered in chapter three), in which he called his divination "prophecy." I then exposed Taylor's hypocrisy for warning others to beware of diviners who falsely call themselves "prophets," and this was Nick's response:


"If God can speak thru a jackass-and He did- then expressing thru a natural event (horse race) to the world from the eyes of a prophetic man-Mark Taylor, then it should be no problem for those tuned-in to the real of prophecy of today! And I Semper Fi that!"
-JOMAMA (@nickcooper), posted Sept 2, 2023, [https://truthsocial.com/@nickcooper/posts/110995751533781070]

As is typical among worshipers of false prophets, they either fail to grasp the meaning of "divination" or simply do not care, because devotion to their false prophet matters more to them than truth. While some may wonder why anyone would blindly follow such a man, it often comes down to pride. They hold such a lofty view of themselves that they refuse to admit they could fall for simple deceptions. The flattering words of false prophets make them feel good about themselves, so they fiercely defend the very thing that blinds them to the truth in Christ.

Wherefore let him that thinketh he
standeth take heed lest he fall.
-1 Corinthians 10:12

Nick then uses a conflation fallacy. He equates Taylor's divination—interpreting the names men gave to horses to manufacture a nonsensical message—with God speaking through a donkey (Num 22:28-30) to rebuke the corrupt prophet Balaam, who beat the donkey because he did not want to hear the truth.

Nick then declares he will "Semper Fi" his nonsensical statement. "Semper Fi" is short for "semper fidelis," meaning "always loyal." In his stupidity he unknowingly declared that he is always loyal to logical fallacies and sins such as divination, and that statement is far more honest than he realized.

After I gave him several more examples of Taylor's false prophecies, I asked if he recalled Taylor's failed prophecy about El Chapo (detailed in chapter five). Taylor claimed the criminal gang leader's shirt would be red with blood from a police shootout during his arrest. Instead, El Chapo surrendered peacefully wearing a blue shirt with no blood. Nick replied:


"While you continue to pick the bones of the past, prophecy marches on-and Not on your personal timing. Your grip on God's timing is limp wristed, so use your other hand too reach up and give yourself a good, wholesome slapping!"
-JOMAMA (@nickcooper), posted Sept 5, 2023, [https://truthsocial.com/@nickcooper/posts/111012731217236596]

Notice that he wished me physical harm. In the corruption of his strange ideology, he apparently believes he follows Jesus by wishing pain on others, but I have found no place in the Gospels where Jesus or His disciples expressed any desire for harm to come to people.

The sins of laziness and pride blind Nick's eyes, but to the average unsaved person, his response borders on lunacy. The events of El Chapo's arrest have already taken place. I have no "personal timing" because I do not control time. It was Taylor who made the prediction, but Nick blames me for Taylor's failure.

Nick reveals the willful blindness of Taylor's worshipers when he declares "prophecy marches on" even after multiple proofs of Taylor's failed prophecies. In essence he told me, "Ignore Taylor's false prophecies and go hit yourself in the face." Such is the rambling of a madman. I am certain he would not tolerate being addressed that way, which shows he lacks the characteristics of one obedient to Christ's commandments—to love our neighbors as ourselves.

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
-Matthew 7:12

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
-Galatians 5:22-23

I will provide one final example to demonstrate the willful ignorance and hypocrisy of Taylor worshipers. It comes from "@LauraBethPlumlee," whom I will refer to as Laura. I encountered her because she was promoting Taylor's website and written materials, specifically his prophecies (see reference), and her posts showed worship of both Mark Taylor and Kim Clement.
(See Laura [@LauraBethPlumee], Truth Social, Nov 19, 2023, retrieved Dec 1, 2023, [https://truthsocial.com/@LauraBethPlumlee/posts/111436943777687311])

I showed Laura a couple of Taylor's false prophecies. She responded to his claim that five SCOTUS justices would be appointed by Trump BEFORE Roe vs. Wade was overturned (mentioned in chapter five), which never happened in the way he predicted:


"Mark does not call himself a prophet, and he doesn't claim to be. He simply wrote down everything that was laid on his heart. He does not take money from anyone and all those who try and donate to him, he refuses. He does not take money from anyone. I'll have to read again about the 5 appointed judges but I do remember the '2 will be taken and 3 will be shaken'. Prophecy is that which stands the tests of time. So far, Marks writings are pretty solid"
-Laura [@LauraBethPlumee], Truth Social, Nov 30, 2023, retrieved Dec 1, 2023, [https://truthsocial.com/@LauraBethPlumlee/posts/111436943777687311]

As we have seen in this book, Taylor's prophecies are far from "solid." They are vague feel-good nonsense drawn from news reports or Q posts, with the rest being mostly failed predictions dressed up in Dr. Seuss rhymes.

It is confusing that many of Taylor's worshipers claim he "does not call himself a prophet," but I suspect that in recent interviews he has said this to dodge responsibility for his false prophecies. Strangely enough, as of 2023, his book and website are still titled "The Trump PROPHECIES." If he is not a prophet and these are not prophecies, why does he label them as such, and declare "the Spirit of God says" throughout them?

Laura acknowledged she vaguely remembered Taylor's prophecy about the SCOTUS justices. She did not deny its failure but simply ignored it and said she would have to "read [it] again," which she likely never did.

She then tried to justify Taylor by noting his refusal to accept donations, but refusing donations is not a test of a true prophet. A man's predictions and doctrine determine whether he is a prophet of God, and that is the basis of the analysis in this book. Laura should have noted that my book exposing Mark Taylor is free to read at creationliberty.com, while (last I checked in 2023) Taylor has never offered his own book for free.

I showed Laura the quotes where Mark Taylor denied Christ by claiming he could cleanse his own sin through prayer instead of faith in the blood of Christ. She responded:


"Never read his book, only read his writings and listened to him any time he was present on a podcast. From his own mouth he professes and proclaims Christ. I've never heard him EVER portray to be someone he is not and I've NEVER heard him claim to be saved from sin in any other fashion except through the Holy Spirit. All this that you are saying is the exact opposite of what actually comes out of his mouth. 2 things... it's incorrect that he peddles the pockets of churchgoers. He does not. That's false. He's never taken a dime. His book profits is not peddling pockets. If that's the case, wouldn't that mean that you are peddling pockets through your website? Tomato/tamato!! I've heard the so called 'prophets' of the world speak and they are the ones who are false. And it's obvious. Giving daily prophecies, then retracting them when it doesn't happen. Mark has never retracted anything. I would take Marks word over the prophetic groups any day"
-Laura [@LauraBethPlumee], Truth Social, Nov 30, 2023, retrieved Dec 1, 2023, [https://truthsocial.com/@LauraBethPlumlee/posts/111500397343300509]

I do not think Laura knows what she is saying because the phrase "peddling pockets" is not an idiom anyone uses. It makes no sense. Peddling means selling goods while traveling, so "peddling pockets" would mean traveling to sell pockets, which is absurd.

She said this to justify Mark's "book profits," which is ironic after she claimed "he's never taken a dime." Those two statements directly contradict each other—either he has taken money from book sales or he has not.

Furthermore, selling a book online does not prove a man is honest or doing good. There are many dishonest authors and book sellers, especially among politicians who profit from bad ideology, as do many pastors and prophets. Laura also failed to mention Taylor's movie profits, which I will address shortly.

It is absurd to claim someone is of Christ simply because you never heard him say the words, "I am not of Christ." Such absense of reasoning is just willful ignorance. That ridiculous ideology pretends no one lies or falsely claims to be of Christ. If that were true, we would need no warnings about wolves in sheep's clothing. The wolf must claim to be a sheep, or the disguise fails to deceive, and therefore, we must discern true sheep from wolves disguised as sheep by inference based on words and actions.

infer (v): to derive by reasoning; conclude or judge from premises or evidence
(See 'infer', Random House Dictionary, 2026, [dictionary.com]; See also Collins English Dictionary, 10th Edition, William Collins Sons & Co, 2012)

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
-Matthew 7:15

As far as I know, Mark Taylor has never retracted any public statements, but that only proves he is a fool. I have retracted teachings I once gave publicly after discovering I was wrong, and publicly apologized for posting them. Taylor, however, made false statements and then stayed quiet about them over the years so people would not remember what he said.

I showed Laura the false prophecy that the Washington Monument would topple in a great wind. She responded:


"Listen to yourself! judge all you want. You're a coward looking for clicks not an evangelist of Christ. I bet you haven't even read the full book yourself. You obviously weren't taught true evangelism. You're on the attack cause you lack vision in what God has placed in your life and you're deliberately trying to argue. You should know what scripture says about that. Do you know Christ at all? Pull the log out of your own eye."
-Laura [@LauraBethPlumee], Truth Social, Nov 30, 2023, retrieved Dec 1, 2023, [https://truthsocial.com/@LauraBethPlumlee/posts/111500397343300509]

Laura began the exchange by urging everyone to read Mark Taylor's prophecies, then erupted in rage when I quoted them. You could cut the irony with a butter knife. Only deep brainwashing could make her furious at others for doing the very thing she recommended.

She freely admitted she had never read Taylor's book, but accused me of not reading it. How could she possibly know whether or not I have read it when she herself has not read it?

The heart of the righteous studieth to answer:
but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
-Proverbs 15:28

When I told her I cannot give truth to someone who will not hear it, she replied:


"Tell me the truth about WHAT?? The fact I've never heard Mark Taylor corrupt the Gospel?? I don't care enough to 'research it out'. It's not that important to me. He has really interesting writings. I read them, found them intriguing. That's that. I remember a few things he mentioned. It's not Gospel, I don't worship it. That's pure ignorance to make that judgment. You created this nonsense and for what?? To get me to read a sentence from your website?"
-Laura [@LauraBethPlumee], Truth Social, Dec 1, 2023, retrieved Dec 1, 2023, [https://truthsocial.com/@LauraBethPlumlee/posts/111506594219742306]

I appreciate Laura's honesty because most Taylor worshipers will not openly admit they care nothing for the Gospel of Salvation in Christ, refuse to research, and have no love for the truth. At least she was direct. I agree she will not lift a finger to discern whether she helps Mark Taylor deceive others, but she does not realize she just declared she has no love for her neighbors.

Laura's hatred runs so deep that she is indifferent to leading others into false doctrine. She would rather see people end up in hell, clinging to lies, than read a single sentence of anything that might challenge her feelings.

And finally, after I quoted some of the Scriptures used in this chapter (which condemn her words and attitude), Laura responded:


"How about this oh 'wise one'... stop trying to help me. You're not educating anyone. You are dogmatic and blind yourself. Cherry pick scriptures like a Pharisee and beat on your monkey chest and eat that self righteousness up pal."
-Laura [@LauraBethPlumee], Truth Social, Dec 1, 2023, retrieved Dec 1, 2023, [https://truthsocial.com/@LauraBethPlumlee/posts/111506594219742306]

Is it self-righteous to quote the words of a man who claims to be a prophet? Was it not Laura who urged others to read what Taylor wrote? Is it self-righteous to quote Scripture that directly addresses what she says and does? Or is it self-righteous to call oneself "Shakina Kami, [the] Beautiful One Whose Desires Are Fulfilled, and in Whose Life the Lord Dwells with the Divine Wind of Providence"?
(See Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 40, ISBN: 9780998142678)

In my view, when a man provides quotes, references, and asks questions, it is extraordinarily self-righteous to respond by calling him a dogmatic, blind, cherry-picking, chest-beating, pharisaical monkey. The Bible identifies people like Laura as "railers," and Christians are commanded to avoid fellowship with anyone who claims to be a brother while speaking and acting this way because their hearts are full of hatred, as inferred by the venom dripping from Laura's words.

But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
-Matthew 15:18

railer (n): one who scoffs, insults, censures or reproaches with opprobrious [i.e. abusive, shameful] language
(See 'railer', American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster, 1828, retrieved Dec 1, 2023, [webstersdictionary1828.com])

But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
-1 Corinthians 5:11-13

I wanted readers to see these conversations so they can understand the kind of people who worship Mark Taylor and follow in his prideful, vicious footsteps. Their responses reveal the hearts of those entangled in Apostolic, Pentecostal, and Charismatic cults.

With countless contradictions and hypocrisies available, these four examples capture the essence of most Taylor worshipers. It would be unnecessary to include the hundreds of other encounters I have had. Sadly, such replies are common when discussing this topic with these churchgoers on social media (if they respond at all), and they willfully blind themselves to embrace lies that puff up their pride and make them feel good about themselves.

This may surprise some readers, but to be frank, I do not know for certain what Mark Taylor teaches about the Gospel of Salvation, and that is to his shame. I have only vague inferences drawn from his public statements. After listening to many hours of his documentaries and interviews, reading his prophecies, and reading his book, I have NOT ONCE heard Mark Taylor preach the Gospel of Salvation to the lost. Though I searched thoroughly, as of 2023, he wrote nothing about it on his website, provided no statement of faith, and he generally leaves viewers guessing, likely to evade responsibility for his doctrine.

In all the videos I watched, Taylor never clearly defined what he meant when he would use the word 'repent'. He implied it means "to turn from sin" or "to change one's mind," which is NOT the biblical meaning of repentance.

To turn and change is the definition of "conversion," but Scripture defines repentance as "grief" (Gen 6:6) or "godly sorrow" (2Co 7:9-10), depending on context. (Psa 34:18) Those who teach otherwise create contradictions in Scripture, and lead people into false works-based doctrine on salvation in Christ (while claiming to teach "grace through faith"), which creates countless false converts.

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
-Ephesians 2:8-9

I urge Christians to exercise great caution with Mark Taylor because he is FAR more manipulative and dangerous than obvious fake mega-church pastors. Televangelists like Rick Warren, Kenneth Copeland, and Creflo Dollar are easy to spot, which is why Taylor and similar false prophets condemn them to build a following—to make themselves harder to discern, especially for newer Christians.
(Read "Wolves in Costume: Rick Warren," Pope Francis' Deceptive John 17 Movement," and "Tithe is Not a Christian Requirement" at creationliberty.com for details on those false preachers.)

One reason Taylor deceives so effectively is that he repeats key phrases that sound like strong, faithful Christianity, even echoing some of my own teachings. He condemns those who fake faith for profit (though he hypocritically does the same), denounces preachers chasing popularity and prestige (though he does the same), and claims, as I have often said, that he faces far less persecution from the world than from those claiming to be of Christ.

As a side note, this does not mean I escape worldly persecution; I do not, but the majority comes from churchgoers who are of the world. However, the difference between Taylor and myself is that I suffer tribulation for exposing false prophets and rebuking the corrupt doctrine of leavened pastors, while Taylor suffers self-induced ridicule for his failed prophecies.

To discern a false preacher from a true one in Christ, we must examine what a man believes and teaches, observe his actions, and compare both to the Word of God. Some false teachers are harder to detect than others. For those wolves, one must weigh many aspects of their doctrine, not just one or two. Unless a Christian has a great deal of experience searching the Scriptures, distinguishing truth from error takes considerable time and study.

These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.
-Acts 17:11

The most cunning false preachers mix truth with lies, and Mark Taylor is no exception. He speaks some truths to gain trust, then slips in deceptions as if they were also true. We must stand firmly on God's Word to guard against those who deceive for gain, as Psalm 12 warns:

Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men. They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things: Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us? [i.e. They do not take care for the things that come out of their mouths.] For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him. The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.
-Psalm 12:1-8

After reading this book, it should be crystal clear that Mark Taylor is a vile con man who practices divination and calls it "prophesying," but for the sake of argument, suppose Taylor's Trump prophecy were true. What purpose would it serve?

Do not misunderstand: I believe Donald Trump was generally a good U.S. President. In my lifetime he stands alone as the only one who largely upheld the law and did right for the people. My question is not a critique of his service—rather, I am asking about the ultimate purpose of Taylor's prophecy: what is the point of it?

Take some time to think about this carefully: In the Bible, when God prophesied the rise or fall of a leader, He always gave specific reasons, usually with heavy rebuke to discipline the Hebrews so they would turn from their sins. Turning people from their wicked ways and pointing them to the grace of God is always good for their souls, and it is how a nation is healed.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
-2 Chronicles 7:14

However, Taylor's "prophecies" provide none of this. No calls to repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow) for the remission of sins. No exhortations to turn from wicked ways so God might heal them. Taylor sometimes mentions repentance, but he holds a skewed definition of it, and in his view, the gravest sin of all is failing to worship Donald Trump as he does.

As a side note, I find this rather comical because, more recently (as of 2026), Taylor has started to turn negative on Trump for various political reasons. The stupidity of this is gargantuan because, if Trump is not the great president Taylor thought he was, then all of his prophecies are vain lies!

Getting back to the basis of my argument: If God used Taylor to give us a message that says, "Trump will be president, and Americans will get lots of goodies," what exactly is the point? How does that glorify God?

glorify (v): to praise; to magnify and honor in worship; to exalt
(See 'glorify', American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster, 1828, retrieved Oct 28, 2022, [webstersdictionary1828.com])

One might claim it glorifies God by asserting that He is toppling an evil government and delivering justice, but that is not the premise of Taylor's prophecies. In his "America, America" prophecy, Taylor declared that God said, "America, America, oh how I love thee! America, America, oh how I have chosen thee!" These words merely inflate American pride while ignoring that, over the past 200 years, America has become a wicked nation of whoremongers, sodomites, murderers, and thieves who (generally, as a culture) have abandoned the Word of God as a foundation for moral living.

Three entities are exalted by such a pathetic attempt at prophecy: Americans, Donald Trump, and Mark Taylor. If any reader disputes this after all we have covered, examine the references I provided and listen to Taylor yourself. It takes little time to discern that he does nothing but glorify himself, Trump, and occasionally invokes Jesus' name as a pretense to feign being a "disciple of Christ."

Taylor has spoken his vague notion of repentance in interviews, but not in his prophecies. So once again: What is the point of Taylor's prophecies? Who benefits from them?

Taylor's prophecies do not lead people to repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow for their sins) and faith in the saving grace of Jesus Christ. If any legitimate prophecies existed today, they would do precisely that. After the prophecy of Revelation, God has almost no reason to grant new prophecies, except they would correct and instruct people unto the righteousness imputed by His Son. After examining Taylor's so-called "prophecies," the ONLY purpose they serve is to draw people into pride—a sin which is the natural enemy of repentance—call them to bow before Donald Trump, and thereby bring glory mostly to Mark Taylor.
(Read "The Biblical Understanding of Pride" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

Taylor has led churchgoers in prayer calls. In one, he led them in a prayer of repentance:
"Father, in the name of Jesus, we repent for not having a humble heart, walking in pride, having haughty spirits and attitudes, thinking because we are in leadership, we don't have to repent."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor Prayer of Repentance," Drawn Sword Ministries, Dec 12, 2018, retrieved Nov 23, 2022, [https://youtu.be/qkvcsS0OoTI?t=55]

Two major points must be addressed: one of great hypocrisy and one a direct contradiction of Christ's Gospel. First, the hypocrisy. Taylor told people to come in humility with a "contrite spirit," yet in his book he gave himself this grandiose title, which we should read once again:
"In the simple 'Shakina Kami' sound the Holy Spirit uttered was the following: 'Beautiful One Whose Desires Are Fulfilled, and in Whose Life the Lord Dwells with the Divine Wind of Providence.'"
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 40-41, ISBN: 9780998142678

In the first chapter, we examined Taylor's self-glorifying name. It is nearly unbelievable hypocrisy for a man who exalts himself with a title more elaborate than any the Lord uses in Scripture, while condemning anyone who questions him, to then lead others in prayer against "walking in pride" and "having haughty spirits and attitudes." This reaches Catholic Pope levels of hypocrisy, where a man draped in self-glorifying splendor instructs the people to "humble themselves."
(Read Corruptions of Christianity: Catholicism at creationliberty.com for details.)

The second point is a direct contradiction of the Gospel. The foundation of repentance resides only in the hearts of those born again in Jesus Christ because repentance is a gift from God:

In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;
-2 Timothy 2:25

For those born again in Christ, repentance is a natural part of daily life, given by the Holy Spirit so we may judge ourselves by what we say and do, but Taylor treats repentance as something church leaders can casually abandon. The real issue is that most church-building leaders have never come to repentance in the first place. They continue preaching the repeat-after-me "sinner's prayer," producing millions of false converts worldwide with a counterfeit salvation void of repentance.

In other words, Taylor views repentance as something casually overlooked, like slippinng on a spiritual banana peel. He thought his prayer was wise, but it was foolish and exposed his corrupt beliefs. This is a glaring warning against Taylor: he does not regard repentance as the core foundation of salvation. He lacks understanding that repentance is a pillar God builds in us when we are first saved by Jesus Christ.

Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God,
-Hebrews 6:1

And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
-Mark 1:15

Later in that same prayer, Taylor said:
"Father, we repent for taking ground for your kingdom, but not leaving anything in place to hold that ground... Lord Jesus, you said we would not only do the things that you did, but even greater things we shall do. Father, we decree and declare that the time is now for this to take place."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor Prayer of Repentance," Drawn Sword Ministries, Dec 12, 2018, retrieved Nov 23, 2022, [https://youtu.be/qkvcsS0OoTI?t=200]

It is impossible for mankind in this world to "take ground" for the Kingdom of God, because the Kingdom of God is not of this world.

Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.
-John 18:36

This world is not the Kingdom of God, which is why Christians do not make war with the world. Mark Taylor believes otherwise because he belongs to the New Apostolic Reformation, and they embrace the antichrist heresy that they will usher in the Kingdom of God on earth.

More of Taylor's false doctrine and haughty spirit appears in his next statement: his "decree" that it is now time for us to do "greater things" than the Lord Jesus Christ. First, consider the Scripture:

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
-John 14:12

New-age cults—such as Charismatics, Pentecostals, and Apostolics—distort this verse to convince people they possess miraculous powers. Modern vernacular labels such men con artists or scammers, but they sprinkle spiritual language over their speech and call themselves "prophets." In context, Jesus spoke these words to comfort His disciples before returning to heaven, that—although absent in body—He would be present with them in the Spirit.

The disciples Jesus addressed would become apostles, given miraculous gifts to provide evidence—especially to the Jews—that His Gospel is true. Many had heard of Jesus' miracles, and the apostles' similar works would confirm that their doctrine came from God. This verse does NOT mean every believer in every generation receives miraculous gifts, but worldly religious cults persistently pushed the lie to justify themselves to feel "righteous" and "holy."

Even if they possessed such gifts, Jesus commanded His apostles to carry almost nothing beyond the clothes on their backs:

And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece. And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
-Luke 9:2-4

Here is the glaring contradiction of New Apostolic Reformers like Mark Taylor: they boast of miraculous gifts while displaying none, yet they defy Christ's command to poverty in order to pursue worldly power and takeovers. They disregard the words of Jesus while claiming to act in His name, and they threaten curses on anyone who exposes their many hypocrisies.

Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass [travel across] sea and land to make one proselyte, [a convert to a religious belief] and when he is made, ye make him twofold [twice] more the child of hell than yourselves.
-Matthew 23:15

In fact, Taylor went so far on this point, he wrote a "prophecy" in which God allegedly quoted Himself out of context to condemn anyone who speaks against the sacred cow named Mark Taylor (a.k.a. "Shakina Kami"):
"The Spirit of God says, 'Why are My people attacking one another? Why are My people engaging in friendly fire? Friendly fire will not be tolerated! Just because you disagree with that person doesn't give you the right to murder that person with your words. "Thou shalt not murder!" Repent! You will be help accountable for every word you speak.'"
-Mark Taylor, "Spiritual Treason," Sord Rescue, Mar 3, 2017, retrieved Dec 8, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/03-03-17_spiritual_treason.pdf]

Two points need to be made: First, Mark Taylor is not my brother in Christ because he has never been born again. Christians do not willfully deceive the public while brandishing Jesus Christ's name for personal gain. I will have no unity with Mark Taylor unless God grants him repentance, that he might gain understanding and Jesus Christ may author true faith in him.

Secondly, Taylor placed quotation marks around "Thou shalt not murder!" to equate critiquing his words with physically shedding blood. This should stun his followers, but they are willingly blind to his antics. This should stun his followers, but they are willingly blind to his antics. Taylor's left-wing opposition commonly claim words are violence that constitute murder—a ridiculous thought, but one that Taylor secretly adopts when it benefits him.

It is hatred in the heart that sparks murder. One can speak hateful words, revealing murderous intent, but the words themselves are not murder.

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
-1 John 3:15

Jesus said, "Thou shalt do no murder" (Mat 19:18), referring to the Ten Commandments: "Thou shalt not kill" (Exd 20:13), meaning the unjustified taking of life. Taylor knows that to invoke "Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm" (Psa 105:15), he must first prove harm was done, but like a spineless coward, he cries "murder!" when desperate to shield himself from those exposing his lies.

It is astounding that Taylor adopts the philosophy of his adversaries to protect himself from scrutiny. He refuses to let anyone examine his prophecies with an ounce of scrutiny, nor will he have a rational discussion about them. In his presumptuous arrogance, he wields the name of God to condemn and curse anyone who dares speak against him.


To Taylor, I respond with his own prophecy: "You will be held accountable for every word you speak." This is what Jesus Christ warned:

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
-Matthew 12:36

Worse still, Taylor foolishly "decrees and declares" miraculous authority according to his own will.

decree (v): to command, ordain, or decide
(See 'decree', Random House Dictionary, 2022, [dictionary.com]; See also Collins English Dictionary, 10th Edition, William Collins Sons & Co, 2012)

Taylor believes he possesses authority to dictate to God what will happen and when. He has no fear of God. It is incredible that a man who loves to parrot "God is in control" simultaneously believes he holds greater authority than God, presuming to "decree and declare" whatever he feels like at the time.

While writing this book I remained largely silent on social media about Taylor. I prefer to finish books and articles before public discussion. This ensures I have materials ready for questions and counterarguments, and that my quotes and references are accurate, so I do not falsely accuse anyone.

While engaging Kim Clement worshipers on Truth Social, where I shared quotes exposing his failed prophecies, I noticed questions directed to "@LtMarkTaylor ." Recalling Taylor had been a lieutenant in the fire department, I checked the account, and it was indeed his official Truth Social page.

I mention this because I was unaware he even had an account on social media, and I had posted nothing about him since the book was unfinished. Strangely, Taylor had already blocked me on both Truth Social, as well as X. I had not spoken to him since his 2016 email, so what prompted the block before I made any public statements about him?

After examining his accounts, simple deduction provided the answer: Taylor is a big fan of false prophet Kim Clement. My exposure of Clement's failed prophecies had finally reached him, and knowing that exposing Clement would expose himself, he chose to shoot the messenger rather than engage in conversation.

(See Mark Taylor, @LtMarkTaylor, Truth Social, retrieved Oct 13, 2022, [https://truthsocial.com/@LtMarkTaylor])

In an interview with false preacher Christopher McDonald, Taylor referred back to Kim Clement, revealing that he was a student of Clement:
"I go back to a prophecy that Kim Clement had on 2008/2009, somewhere in there, and he said that—the Spirit of God says that the people will say we have two presidents."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor on the McFiles 1-13-21," Jan 14, 2021, retrieved Oct 13, 2022, [https://rumble.com/vctuqz-mark-taylor-on-the-mcfiles-1-13-21.html]

Kim Clement has been exposed as a false prophet countless times through predictions such as Rudy Giuliani winning the 2008 presidential election, the 2011 death of Kim Jong-Il uniting North and South Korea, all homosexuals in Los Angeles being cured of AIDS/HIV on March 5, 2002, America waging war against Iraq for the 1996 TWA-800 explosion, and both Rupert Murdoch and Stephen King becoming Christian evangelists by the end of 2006. None of these came to pass, and in my view, it is no surprise that one false prophet would endorse another, to piggy-back off one another's artificial clout.
(Read False Prophet Profiles: Kim Clement at creationliberty.com for details.)

Once we understand Taylor's philosophy, it becomes clear why he blocks first and never asks questions. If you study his teachings and read his book, you will see that he refuses to engage anyone who disagrees with him, and he explains why in his own words:


"The Lord has told me, 'Mark, my Church is bleeding out; as are my people. I want you to go in and do spiritual triage. [i.e. first aid] Give them the message, and if they don't listen, DO NOT [emphasis in original] get involved in ungodly warfare, such as arguing. Those who you see making conflict within My Army are to be considered in the black. They are spiritually dead.'"
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 119, ISBN: 9780998142678

It is interesting to note that wielding the name of Christ to manipulate people against Christ's doctrine is the essence of a false flag operation. I am certain this inconvenient truth would enrage Taylor's worshipers, since they are heavy into conspiracy theories.

false flag (n): an attack or other hostile action that obscures the identity of the participants carrying out the action while implicating another group or nation as the perpetrator; a misrepresentation of affiliation or motivation or a false equivalence deliberately put forth to manipulate the context, perception, or frame of an action, object, or argument
(See 'false flag', Random House Dictionary, 2022, [dictionary.com]; See also Collins English Dictionary, 10th Edition, William Collins Sons & Co, 2012)

To summarize, Taylor claims the Lord told him not to debate anyone who doubts his prophecies. This is a MAJOR warning sign of a dangerous religious cult leader, who demands followers accept the leader's words without question, or face condemnation and expulsion.

I do not support contention in the church (1Co 11:16), but Taylor is not a Christian, and therefore not part of it. He belongs to a fake church, a religious cult. The church of Christ unites under the Word of God, but the New Apostolic Reformation does not.

Therefore, I contend earnestly for the faith of Christ:

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
-Jude 1:3

What Taylor said must not be confused with what Jesus Christ said:

And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.
-Matthew 10:14

Shaking the dust off one's feet was a Jewish custom declaring separation from corrupt doctrine. The apostles went to the people, engaged them in discussion, and sought to persuade them of the truth, but they refused to hear or reason from the Scriptures. The dust is symbolic that, when God's wrath is poured out on the world in the final days, the dirt itself would be a testimony against them. However, Taylor does none of this—neither engaging or hearing—and simply condemns anyone who does not instantly ignore evidence and accept him as a prophet.

Taylor seeks to unite everyone under his NAR version of "God's word" through his so-called prophecies, not the Scriptures. He wants people to believe that questioning him makes one "spiritually dead" and condemned—another hallmark of a cult guru.

Notice that Taylor did NOT say a man is spiritually dead for denying the Lord Jesus Christ. That is what the Bible says:

He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
-John 3:18

If any man love not the Lord Jesus Christ,
let him be Anathema Maranatha.
[i.e. cursed to damnation and destruction]
-1 Corinthians 16:22

Taylor teaches that you must believe in Mark Taylor or face condemnation, which is far worse than others I have seen. Even false prophet David Koresh engaged his opponents in friendly conversation. If you have heard of Taylor in passing and dismissed him as a harmless oddity, you have missed the warning signs. He poses FAR greater danger than mega-church pastors and televangelists.

For a man like Taylor, who claims to be a soldier in "God's Army" ready to wage battle, it should shame him that he proves so feeble a "soldier"—unable to handle even basic discussion with critics. How can he claim to "fight the good fight of faith" when he flees like a coward at the slightest hint of conflict?

Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.
-1 Timothy 6:12

Taylor shows no desire to contend for the faith in Jesus Christ. He eagerly contends for faith in Donald Trump, faith in occult numerology, and faith in divination. Taylor believes Trump validates him as a "prophet," while condemning anyone who questions his so-called "prophecies" conjured through horse divination. It was difficult to take Mark Taylor seriously while writing this book, because he built a house of hypocrisy upon pagan superstition and witchcraft.

The Lord Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, told us that He came to bring division—a division based on truth, to separate those who trust His Word from those who trust lies:

Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
-Luke 12:51-52

Taylor does not understand that he belongs to a false church that is not of Christ. He defends his religious cult by writing the following in his book:
"But, the Lord is saying, 'No, you're off base. You are making My Church a house divided. You people who create a rift in my house don't even know Me."
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 121, ISBN: 9780998142678

The opposite is true. Taylor and those who follow him in willful blindness do not know Christ, nor do they understand what He taught, and that is why they heed the voice of a stranger like Mark Taylor.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they understood not what things they were which he spake unto them.
-John 10:1-6

They did not understand because they COULD NOT understand. Mark Taylor does not understand because he CANNOT understand without the Holy Spirit, as all men need the Holy Spirit to guide them to the truth.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
-1 Corinthians 2:14

False prophets like Taylor desperately seek entry into the inner circles of church-ianity fame. To do so, they must bow and kiss the ring of those already inside. This explains why Taylor blocked me before any discussion could occur: he wanted to protect his reputation, especially with money on the line.

As we saw earlier, Taylor worshipers reject the idea that he seeks profit because he accepts no donations. To them I reply: if you think donations are the only way false prophets make money, you lack discernment.

Taylor profits from book sales, product sales, advertisements, and profits from selling the rights to the 2018 movie The Trump Prophecy. Produced by Rick Eldridge of ReelWorks Studios in 2018, in partnership with Liberty University's Cinematic Arts program, the $2 million budget "Christian" film dramatizes Taylor's experiences (detailed in chapter one), embellishing his already exaggerated story with reenactments, interviews with evangelical leaders, and inspirational messaging to deceitfully influence a feelings-obsessed crowd of lazy, lackadaisical churchgoers.

However, as a retired firefighter on a pension—and a man broken, left without a purpose to his life—I believe Taylor craves fame and preeminence far more than fortune.

I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not. Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds which he doeth, prating against us with malicious words: and not content therewith, neither doth he himself receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them that would, and casteth them out of the church.
-3 John 1:9-10

preeminence (n): superiority in excellence, honor, virtue, eloquence, rank, dignity, power, or influence
(See 'pre-eminence', American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster, 1828, retrieved Nov 23, 2022, [webstersdictionary1828.com])

This is why Taylor arrogantly compares himself to Paul:
"As [Trump] was sitting there talking, I heard the Lord say, 'You're hearing the voice of a president.' So I went into my office, and sat down, just like the Apostle Paul, I put pen to paper."
-Mark Taylor, "Mark Taylor Trump Prophecy Censored Film - The Remnant Rescue Documentary (Part 1)," America's Prophecy Update, Apr 22, 2021, retrieved Nov 23, 2022, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVDxYnrl6Wc]

Taylor craves the prestige which churchgoers give to God's apostles. That is why he deceptively likened himself to Paul and urged his audience to regard his words with the same reverence given to Paul's in Scripture. The difference is clear: Paul was directly called by the Lord Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus, confirmed by other apostles who had walked with Jesus, with impartial eyewitnesses to verify it, while Taylor is merely a cultist dabbling in witchcraft from the comfort of his bedroom.

And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.
-Acts 9:3-5

Though I am pathetic when compared to the good works of Paul, nevertheless, like he did, I expose the corrupt doctrines of false prophets and point people to the truth in Christ. Taylor would object simply because I dared to rebuked him, and his attempt to compare himself to Paul is not only absurd, given all that Paul suffered, but mere bravado—an arrogant effort to drape himself in self-glorification.

As I continued listening to Taylor's videos, his ignorance (or rather, his willful ignorance) proved limitless. He made one absurd statement after another without thinking. For example, Taylor claimed that once the truth about demonic rituals and child trafficking in the Catholic Church were exposed, no one will want anything more to do with Catholicism:
"All these things are seeing headlines every day coming out on the Vatican right now, so at some point, God's going to hold them accountable. The Lord's addressing his army on this because when this exposure comes out on the Vatican and the Pope, it's going to be so damaging, nobody's going to want anything to do, basically, with the Catholic Church at that point. They're going to be leaving in droves."

I laughed aloud at this statement because, if any readers believe exposing the evils of the Catholic Church will destroy it, you do not understand its history. Such exposures have happened many times before. From the 13th to the 19th century, the Catholic Church participated in the torture, rape, and murder of countless people during the Inquisition, until the Italian revolutionary army stripped its power at gunpoint, but today, the Catholic Church has regained much of its power and influence, and enjoys greater popularity than ever.

Keep in mind, these atrocities were public knowledge at the time they were happening. Inquisitors burned people at the stake in public squares, and churchgoers still followed the Catholic cult. No matter how many evils are exposed, brainwashed Catholics will simply call them "a few bad apples" and continue their antichrist witchcraft rituals—such as the demonic Eucharist—without the slightest regard to the doctrines of Christ.
(Read Corruptions of Christianity: Catholicism at creationliberty.com for details.)

In reality, we can expect a corrupt, unified, ecumencial world religion, which is exactly what Mark Taylor promotes. He wrote what he called the "Army of God Declaration of Unity":
"I [insert name] in the name of Jesus, decree and declare, according to Matthew 18:19, that I will be in unity with my brothers and sisters in the Army of God and all the forces of Heaven. That I will support and defend the Word of God and His army, with all of Heaven, against all enemies from the Kingdom of Darkness, even unto supreme sacrifice... I will obey the orders of the Supreme Commander of the Army of God, and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to Ephesians 4:11, the Governemnt of God, and the uniform regulations founded on God's throne of righteousness and justice."
-Mark Taylor, "Army of God Declaration of Unity," Sord Rescue, retrieved Nov 29, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/army_of_god_declaration_of_unity.pdf]

Why does Taylor keep using the phrase "decree and declare"? He knows there would be strong objection if he made people swear oaths by saying, "I do solemnly swear by God." Changing a few words does not change the fact that he calls churchgoers to swear religious oaths against prophecies that Jesus gave of the end times.

But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne: Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.
-Matthew 5:34-36

Taylor did not call churchgoers to sacrifice themselves for the Gospel of Salvation in Jesus Christ, but rather, to defeat "the Kingdom of Darkness." If he meant Satan and his ministers, that is impossible—only Jesus Christ can defeat them.

If there is a "Kingdom of Darkness" in the religious sense, it is a one-world religion led by the final antichrist. Taylor rejects the biblical descriptions of the final antichrist because he follows NAR doctrine that so-called "Christians" (i.e. churchgoers) will purify the world so Jesus can return and claim it, which is a lie from the pit of hell that prepares churchgoers to accept the final antichrist, who will become a world ruler.

After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with the feet of it: and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns. I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things.
-Daniel 7:7-8

And there are seven kings: five are fallen, and one is, and the other is not yet come; and when he cometh, he must continue a short space. And the beast that was, and is not, even he is the eighth, and is of the seven, and goeth into perdition. And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast. These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast.
-Revelation 17:10-13

Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day [i.e. the return of Jesus Christ] shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
-2 Thessalonians 2:3

This final antichrist will unite the world under his leadership, both politically and spiritually. He will deceive the world so powerfully that even the very elect (i.e. those born again in Jesus Christ) would be deceived, if that were possible. We would be deceived without the Holy Spirit living within us to understand the truth.

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
-Matthew 24:24

I urge Christians to heed this dire warning: men like Mark Taylor will rise and claim "validation" through the miraculous signs performed by the final antichrist. When the son of perdition appears, he will work great signs and wonders to deceive people into the lie of "unity" that Taylor's declaration promotes, namely, the "Army of God Declaration of UNITY."

For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
-1 Thessalonians 5:3

This refers to the wrath of God poured out in the final days. The Lord Jesus Christ warned that the final antichrist will unite the world in a false religion of worship and perform the very miracles the NAR desperately seeks:

And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
-Revelation 13:12-15

Some try to explain away the "fire" as missiles, but people are not deceived by missiles. The public knows what a missile is, and can identify it. Such claims deny Scripture, which states he performs "miracles"—supernatural acts that will deceive the overwhelming majority of the world.

Mark Taylor is unknowingly laying a welcoming red carpet to usher in this kingdom of the final antichrist. He and other false prophets who preach the same corrupt doctrines are paving the way for the world to embrace and worship the beast.

In interviews, Taylor calls men like me "doom and gloom" preachers simply because I declare exactly what Jesus Christ said would happen. Was Jesus also a doom and gloom preacher?

Jesus warned that those given the gifts of the Holy Spirit would suffer in this world, yet we should be of good cheer because He has overcome it. (John 16:33) Taylor refuses any "supreme sacrifice" for the truth of Christ's doctrine because it does not fit his preconceived beliefs. These verses in Revelation are the very Word of God he claims to uphold, but Taylor does NOT believe them.

Taylor ended his declaration in a creepy manner:
"I decree it and declare it on earth as it is in heaven. So be it Amen!"
-Mark Taylor, "Army of God Declaration of Unity," Sord Rescue, retrieved Nov 29, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/army_of_god_declaration_of_unity.pdf]

He tried to mimic the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:10, but the problem is that this is an oath. Taylor and his fellow NARs decree and declare it themselves, so it rests on man's authority, not God's.

Unbeknownst to Taylor and his followers, this ending bears a striking resemblance to Aleister Crowley, the most prominent Satanist and witchcraft practitioner of the 20th century, who sacrificed thousands of children in demonic rituals. Crowley frequently used phrases like "as above so below" and "so mote be it," which eerily echo Taylor's closing words.
(See Lon Milo DeQuette, The Magick of Aleister Crowley: A Handbook of the Rituals of Thelema, Weiser Books, 2002, ISBN: 9781633412774; See also Christian Music: For the Love of Money at creationliberty.com for details.)

That being said, if (by the grace of God) my writings are preserved for future generations, beware of the DOCTRINE of any false preacher, false prophet, or false apostle—not just Mark Taylor. Do not look to miracles a man might perform, because God will allow the devil's ministers to perform miracles in the end days to test His true flock against the fake flock of churchgoers.

A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed.
-Matthew 16:4

When you hear any man's doctrine, test it against Scripture:

Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees... Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.
-Matthew 16:6-12

As I close this book on Taylor, it is fitting to quote his own prophecies against him. Consider all we have learned about his lies and false doctrines as you read his words:
"Who do you think you are, you who call yourselves Christians but further Satan's kingdom? Woe, Woe, Woe, to you leaders who stand in the way of my agenda but call yourself mine. You brood of vipers... you hypocrites! Repent!"
-Mark Taylor, "The Evil Crew of 32," Sord Rescue, Jan 16, 2018, retrieved Nov 30, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/01-19-18_tthe_evil_crew_of_32.pdf]

O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
-Matthew 12:34

Again, from Taylor's own prophecy:
"There is [sic] high level psychics masquerading as Prophets and Prophetesses designed to infiltrate and discredit the truth Prophetic and Ekklesia leading Gods [sic] people astray. Not everyone that comes in my name is FROM me. Not everyone that comes in my name is OF me. Why do you so blindly and quickly accept anyone coming in my name? Why don't you test the Spirits? Not everyone that speaks prophecies, dreams and visions are from me! They seduce you with their fancy words; they mesmerize you with dreams and visions that are not from me."

Mark Taylor is willfully blind to the fact that one day the Lord God will read his own words back to him at the Great White Throne judgment. I pray God grants Mark Taylor repentance of his sins and brings him to his knees at the foot of the cross of Christ so he can be saved, just as the Lord was gracious enough to do for me, that he might not face eternal suffering in hell and the lake of fire.

But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.
-Revelation 21:8

I want Mark to be saved from these things, as I want the same for all of you reading this book. I pray Mark Taylor, his family, his followers who hate me, and all his pagan associates would receive as much grace and mercy as the Lord Jesus Christ has been kind enough to show someone as worthless and vile as me.
