Did you know that Mark Taylor prophesied that Donald Trump would become President of the United States in the 2012 election? Did you know that Taylor prophesied the toppling of the Washington Monument in Washington D.C. when Trump was elected President in 2016? Did you know that Taylor believes and teaches that you can cleanse your own sin through prayer? Did you know that if you speak against or question Taylor, he believes you are guilty of murder?

These are just a few of the many wild claims of Mark Taylor. In this book, we will go over all these points, and much more, proving that not only is Taylor a pagan idolater, who practices witchcraft and worships Donald Trump as a god, but Taylor also desires 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

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? After all, if God dictated to the Israeli government such strict laws, then there must be a method of evidence gathering that could be proven in a court of law.

If you read carefully, God explained it to us in those verses of Deutoeronomy. The Lord said that a false prophet is proven false when he speaks a thing that does not come to pass because, if a thing is prophesied in the name of the Lord God, and it does not happen, it is a lie, and God also told us that He will not and cannot lie.

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

And yet, the children of Israel did not take God very seriously on this matter because, instead of executing the false prophets who dared to speak lies in the name of God, most of them turned their ears toward the false prophets, heeded their corrupt doctrines, and refused to believe that they were false prophets. Nothing has changed in thousands of years because, even today, there are many popular false prophets around the world, and millions of people (who claim to be "Christians") ignore the truth of God's Word so they can follow deceitful men who will pour honey 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 He would do. Perhaps some readers have never heard that before, but the Lord tells us that there is a very important reason why He does this, and He explained it in more detail a few chapters earlier in Deuteronomy:

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])

Of course, one must judge the evidence before drawing any conclusions, which is what we will be doing in this book. We have to look at the doctrines of a man who claims to be a prophet of God, compare what he teaches to the Bible, look over the specifics of his alleged divine predictions, and judge if he is legitimate or a deceiver, but once enough evidence is presented to prove he is a false prophet, the Lord God gives us the liberty to choose who we will serve.
(Read "Unbiblical Cop-Outs: 'Don't Judge Me!'" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

The Lord God allows false prophets to speak to test you. Who will you serve?

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 did not know anything about Mark Taylor because I had never heard of him, and I did not know anything about Donald Trump either because I had stayed away from any mainstream media throughout the previous decade. 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 new-age church-ianity), 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," which is something I do not automatically do on a whim with anyone who tells me they are a Christian, and his carelessness to do that was another major warning sign when speaking with Taylor. Over the years, I have had many people write to me and call me a "brother" in Christ when they have not heard much of what I preach, or have read much of what I write (i.e. they simply assume I am a Christian without looking at what I believe to confirm we are like minded on the doctrines of Christ), and then, a few days or weeks later, they condemn me as an agent of the devil because I rebuked some worldly doctrine they love, or exposed some false preacher they favor.

The reason churchgoers jump into calling someone a "brother" or "sister" without first inquiring what they believe is because many of them have no understanding about false converts, which is a subject on which Jesus spent a lot of time preaching. If Taylor believes in false converts at all, he would only believe that they would be anyone who disagrees with his ecumincal (i.e. one-world religious) worldview, and specifically, anyone (like myself) who calls him out on his false doctrines and exposes his false 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 Taylor, in his original 2017 book (which we will cover in more details in subsequent chapters), quoted from my (then) article (which I later rewrote into a full length book) about 501c3:
"All we need to do for any further confirmation of where we asd 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 issue of 501(c)(3) church buildings is certainly a widespread problem, and my position on that can be clearly seen by reading my book, 501c3: The Devil's Church, which is free to read here at creationliberty.com (you can also listen to my audio teaching series on it by clicking the green audio button at the top of the page under the title), and even Mark Taylor used to promote my work on that subject (even though, based on his writing on the subject, I do not believe he read much of my teaching). However, so many churchgoers who understand some of the corruptions of 501c3 make the drastic mistake of thinking that 501c3 is the source of the problem, and also foolishly believe that by attending a non-501c3 church building, they have somehow avoided corruption, which is not the case (i.e. there are MANY corrupt church institutions that are NOT 501c3 incorporated), and I would encourage readers to take the time to read the book to get more details about that.

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 find 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 wrote an exposé on Kim Clement, and demonstrated that, as is the case with most false prophets, he only preached a happy-go-lucky, fun, feel-good message that scratched the itching ears of followers. In this book, we are not only going to expose Mark Taylor as a fraud who practices a variant of witchcraft known as 'divination', while hypocritically calling himself a "prophet of God," but we will also expose his new-age pseudo-Christian cult which feeds on the same kind of feel-good messages that other false prophets peddle to become more popular and increase their net worth.

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 also the case with other 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]

This is also 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 just 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 just asserted, then why did God allow me to finish this book without striking me dead or incapacitated 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 Mark 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's family lineage consists of many men who were pastors and/or firefighters, including Taylor himself, who is a retired firefighter, and now a self-proclaimed "prophet of God." Taylor has suffered a lot of pain over the years due to thyroid hormone imbalances (which is often a side effect of poor diet over many years), and it can cause a lot of joint pain (among other symptoms because he was carrying a lot of firefighting equipment on a regular basis, combined with poor diet would be a recipe for disaster), so he was seeing a physican by the name of Don Colbert to help him deal with this problem.

The reason I mentioned Taylor's medical issue was to point out his relationship to Don Colbert, and later, to Don's wife Mary because Taylor's relationship with them is one of the key reasons he got his kickstart into fame. It was during his treatments with Colberts that Taylor claimed he had a "vision" related to the election of Donald Trump.

In his book, Taylor claimed he was doing nothing but wasting away with his (likely self-induced) illness, watching a lot of mainstream media (specifically FOX News, according to his testimony), 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 Taylor never explained what that was supposed to mean. The only way Trump could have been in "harmony" with the Holy Spirit was if he was quoting Scripture, but Trump does not do that (because he does not know it), and so this is an example of Taylor's mystic mumbo-jumbo that he learned from his new-age Apostolic cult, which we will learn more about in chapter four.

He also wrote 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 it should be noted that Taylor makes no mention of not being able to normally stand up out of his bed (albeit with pain) if he had to do basic things like use the toilet. This is Taylor's crafty way of implying to the reader that there was some small version of a "miracle healing" to come with his divine revelation, which is deceptive.

Before we continue with Taylor's testimony in his book, I want to demonstrate that he fails to mention other key details that he provides in public interviews. For example, he did not tell everyone in his book that he claims his first "prophetic vision" was allegedly in 2006 when he started to supposedly "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 actually 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 try to scam people into believing it is some sort of secret "divine" or "angelic" language.
(Read "Speaking in Tongues vs Charismatic Gibberish" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

Getting back to the testimony in his book, Taylor went on to say:
"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 a lot of suspicions 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 is someone else involved in the pagan mysticism of "dream interpretations," which the New Apostolic Reformation in infamous for doing. (Again, I will talk more about their beliefs in chapter four.) They believe that someone can go to 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 learn to be 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, 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 divine and glorifying names, did not give Himself such titles, but Taylor obviously has an inward desire to the be worshiped, and as we will see later, he is worshiped by many.

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

Remember that Taylor is a retired firefighter who, it seems, had to retire due to medical issues. After spending so many years saving lives, to have all that stripped away and become bedridden, it makes a man reflect on his purpose in life, to wonder if there is any more to his life than lying in bed watching TV, and therefore, the desire of his heart to have a grandiose, divine purpose in his life makes sense, which is why he gave himself such a pompous name out of a urning for self-importance.

Some readers might feel that I 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, and the other corrupt false prophets and fake apostles who Taylor promotes in it.

For the most part, I keep myself from watching movies because I believe that nearly everything that comes out of Hell-ywood is demonic and corrupts the minds of the viewers, but back when I used to watch movies frequently, I remember comedies that would have a joke in which someone would be speaking a foreign language, only verbally speaking one or two words, and then the producers would put three or four paragraphs of translation at the bottom of the screen to interpret those few words. Everyone would then laugh because they knew that was nonsense, but Mark Taylor did EXACTLY the same thing with "Shakina Kami," which should spark laughter from readers, but sadly, many churchgoers are taking him seriously because he claims it came from God.

What Taylor did NOT tell his readers is that the words he was using mean A LOT of different things beyond what he mentioned. For example, the word 'kami' means 'we' or 'our' in Indonesian, and "Kami" is also two other complete languages (i.e. one from Tanzania and another from Nigeria), but conveniently, Taylor decided not to chose any of these meanings, nor to tell anyone that there are other options.
(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 read from the prophets of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, we learn that God spoke to them in a language they could understand. Even on the Day of Pentecost, the Christians spoke and the Holy Spirit translated their words into langauges that all could understand in their own tongue. (Acts 2:5-11) However, for some unknown reason, Taylor claims that God had to speak to him in languages he did not understand, nor did God give him the ability to understand the words in the various languages that Taylor claim God spoke to him, which would (according to Taylor) possibly consist of African (without telling us what language of origin because "African" is not a language), Indian (without telling us what language of origin), Hebrew, Japanese, and according to my extended research, also Indonesian, Tanzanian, and Nigerian.

Of course, this begs the question, why does Mark Taylor need such a complex and secretive interpretion concerning his name from God? 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.

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.

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

Please keep in mind that, in the timeline of events, this "Shikina Kami" nonsense that Mark Taylor prophesied about himself was BEFORE he got a burning in the bosom about Donald Trump. So what we can take away from this is that Taylor was already lifted up in his pride and believed he was sent by God to do some works of divine revelation (which is expected from a wordly man, wasting his life away in bed, desperately seeking meaning to his own existence), and at that point, he was looking everywhere for a divine "sign" of some sort.

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

It was not only dangerous for Taylor to seek signs through divination (because that will breed much corruption on its own), but when you combine that with the fact that he was on psychotropic drugs at the time, it was 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.

Taylor later confesses that he was, at the time, taking Zoloft, which is a very dangerous psychotropic drug, which he was taking to treat "PTSD," which (according to a number of psychologists) is NOT a real illness. I covered a lot more details on that in my book, Psychology: Hoodwinked by the Devil, which is free to read here at creationliberty.com, and provides all the evidence to demonstrate that PTSD is part of a larger scheme of what is known as "disease-mongering," which is selling people on non-existent illness, just like 19th century snake-oil salesmen.

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 permenant."
-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 the equivalent of a chemical lobotomy (i.e. cutting out a portion of the brain that allows one to think and feel), which can be deadly for a lot of reasons, not just to oneself, but also to others around those who take it. Suicide and murder have been a frequent side effect for those who take Zoloft for extended lengths of time, and pharmaceutical manufacturers are given government-sanctioned immunity from prosecution for poisoning their customers.

Again, even though Taylor thought this story was going to help his credibility, it actually destroys his credibility, meaning that anyone who reads his book should be immediately cautious of him because Zoloft has a lot of side effects that relate to having "religious" or "spiritual" experiences. For example, Zoloft side effects include (but are not limited to) increased heart rate, dilated pupils (i.e. one might be sensitive to bright lights, or see brighter than normal light), muscular spasm, seizures, persistent difficulty sleeping (which is why some of Taylor's so-called "prophetic visions" happened in the middle of the night), changes in mood and demeanor, speedy talking, thrilled sensations, paranoia, etc.

In the following chapters of this book, I am going to prove that Mark Taylor lies in public interviews, and manipulates his followers. As we continue to cover the details of his prophecies, I would ask readers to keep in mind that Taylor took psychotropic drugs during some of this time because, when a man who is a known liar and manipulator takes psychotropics, it leaves us with no other rational choice than to question everything he says with a high degree of scrutiny.

As we are about to see, Mark Taylor does not "prophecy" anything that would be considered (by any objective reader) to be miraculous. Most of what he "prophesies" about are ordinary things, like elections or criminal prosecutions, and he makes a substantial number of World War 2 references, with some Bible stories mixed in, and does not include any other historical references or doctrinal understanding, which alone provides substantial evidence that Taylor NOT speaking the Word of God, but rather, he is writing his own thoughts (based on his own limited knowledge) and claiming that God is speaking through him.
 


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.

Of course, it should be noted that Taylor wrote down and published his original prophecies on his website beforehand, without the need to purchase his book. However, for a man who claims, "I don't take any glory for it. I give it all to the Lord Jesus Christ," it is interesting and convenient timing that AFTER Trump was elected President, Taylor and his friends immedately started publishing books and selling movie rights that gave glory to Mark Taylor.

Most of his followers are blissfully ignorant that Mark Taylor prophesied Trump would be president in 2012, NOT in 2016. Taylor has made a lot of effort over the past few years to lie and excuse away this detail 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.

Outside of his show, The Apprentice, Donald Trump was not in the news very often (about as much as he normally had been). However, starting in early 2011, about the same time that Mark Taylor was watching TV and claimed he had "a ringing in [his] spiritual ears" (which could have very well been induced by the psychotropic drugs he was taking at the time), Trump popped up in the media a lot more often because of his question over the legitimacy of Obama's birth certificate.

In his book, Taylor leads his readers to believe that he received a divine revelation that "you are hearing the voice of a president," but failed to mention that the mainstream media was already including Donald Trump in presidential polls in early 2011. Taylor knows that talking about that would make his "prophecy" seem less like a revelation from God, and more like an emotional declaration of 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]

I did a search on news articles from that time, and I easily found many articles from early 2011 on this subject from a wide variety of (corrupt) mainstream media sources, including, but not limited to, Gallup, PolitiFact, FOX, The Atlantic, ABC, NPR, CBS, Politico, and CNN. Some of these broadcasting companies produced the very news shows that Taylor was watching while he wasted away in bed. The point I am making is that this was widely-published information at the time, and we are about to find out that Mark Taylor (just like almost every other "prophet" I have seen in modern times) made his so-called "prophesy" based on mainstream media information, not based on revelation from God.

One important thing to note is that Taylor, in his book, left out the specific date that he gave his "Trump prophesy," but readers should know that he said he received this alleged revelation from God on April 28, 2011. On April 26, 2011, two days before Taylor's alleged revelation, Trump pulled into the lead among priliminary 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, 2011, 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/]

And as previously mentioned, the following day, Taylor wrote down his "Trump prophecy," but it is unknown if he published it anywhere online prior to 2016. I was unable to find any records of it existing online until after Trump was elected in 2016, so if it did at one time, those records would be very hard to find.

In 2015, Mark Taylor created a website, sordrescue.com, which was about promoting his "S.O.R.D." rescue device (Special Operations Recovery Drag), which he invented to help save lives of those injured in emergency situations. After Trump was elected in November of 2016, he added in a small link called "Prophetic Words" at the top of his page, by 2017, he moved the link closer to the center of the page to draw more attention, by 2018 he removed all information about his life-saving device to promote his scam prophcies, and by 2019, it turned into a full-blown clown show dedicated to glorifying 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 restored a single link to get more information on his SORD rescue device, which I suspect might have been due to critics chiding him for throwing out his promotion of a life-saving device to laud himself as a so-called "prophet." In December of 2022, as I was finishing my draft of this book, I went back to sordrescue.com one more time, specifically to look at the link about SORD, but when I clicked the link to get more information on the SORD rescue device, (after which the domain is named), the page brought me to the URL "sord.us," which resulted in a "This-site-can't-be-reached" page error.

Since Taylor thought his prophecy about Trump was more important than saving lives, let's read his 2011 prophecy, and then we will analyze the details:
"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]

The typical worshiper of false prophets (like Mark Taylor) read over this far too quickly and end up missing (perhaps on purpose) many key details that reveal Taylor's contradictions. In many cases, 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 strange when Taylor said, "America will be respected once again as the most powerful and prosperous nation on earth, (other than Israel)," and the reason for this is because Israel was never the most powerful nation on earth. It is possible that Israel may have been the most prosperous at one time (perhaps during the reign of Solomon, depending on what economical aspect was being analyzed), but Israel was always outnumbered in terms of power, which is one of the glorifying aspects to the Lord, namely, that He always stepped in to protect Israel from nations who were much more powerful.

Taylor then went on to make a foolish statement that, "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 be case in the future, I do not know, but what I do know is that fiat (i.e. government-issued debt note paper) money will NEVER be a solid currency, and as of the fall of 2022 (when I first wrote this paragraph), the most stable and valuable currency in the world is Bitcoin, not the dollar, so time will tell whether this is another piece of evidence to add to the pile of Taylor's false prophecies.

In more recent interviews, Taylor has backtracked on this prophecy. He set up a narrative to fool his audience into believing his prophecy by claiming there is a "new dollar" that is coming, which is not what his prophecy originally said:
"[@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 begs a very interesting question: How is it possible that one could tell that Mark Taylor was a false prophet? Taylor just told us that, in every instance which we might use external evidence to conclude that he is a false prophet, we should NOT draw that conclusion, but rather, we must instead try to REINTERPRET the prophecy, which means that you must first PRESUPPOSE that Mark Taylor is a true prophet before you are allowed to interpret his prophecies to test if he is a true prophet, and it should be noted that no other prophet of Scripture ever said such things.

When you require Taylor to interpret Taylor's prophecies for you, you are in a religious cult.

As I just pointed out, in the fall of 2022, the strongest currency in the world was Bitcoin (i.e. one Bitcoin was worth ten times was one gold coin was worth), and it is not backed by anything precious metals. Bitcoin is digital currency secured on blockchain code that has no need of third party bankers, and is valued by the electricity it took to power the hardware computations, to provide proof of work.
(See Saifedean Ammous, The Bitcoin Standard: The Decentralized Alternative to Central Banking, Wiley, ISBN: 9781119473862)

I do not want to dive into a lot of details on that subject because that is not what this book is about. However, I will note that, according to the research I have done, the future of currency is in sound money, which is NOT found in paper currency backed by governments, which is what Taylor just said his prophecy foretold, so we will have to wait and see what happens.

Next, Taylor prophesied that the "Spirit of God" (i.e. the Holy Spirit, who is God) said that Trump would become President of the United States, "IN THIS NEXT ELECTION." I highlighted that point because, in his prophecy, he stated it twice for clarity. Again, the prophecy was given in 2011, and that next election was the 2012 presidential election, in which Trump did NOT run, and Barack Obama won.

I have another interesting 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 its sin?

The reason he did not draw that conclusion is because Taylor does not like Barack Obama (i.e. it is based on his own presuppositions), and because such a message is not the fluffy, feel-good message that Taylor and his worshipers want to hear. They want "God's chosen man" to give them lots of happy treats and make them feel good, so Taylor had to go back to the drawing board to reinterpret his prophecy, and that is why he hid his prophecy away for another four years, instead of being bold and faithful to believe he was a "true" prophet.

Many false prophets like Taylor have claimed to foretell that Donald Trump was "chosen by God," and then automatically presume that means that Trump is a Christian. 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]

I can prove absolutely 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. Donald 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 talks for a minute or so about Norman Vincent Peale, who was a new-age false preacher that taught a postivity, feel-good message that led his followers to a false gospel. Peale is deserving of his own separate exposé, but I want to keep this book focused on Mark Taylor as much as I can. Peale was one of the key marketers (not a minister) who helped bring psychology (a demonic pseudo-science) into church buildings around the world, and taught people a false "self-esteem" doctrine that lifts people up in the pride of their hearts, instead of bringing them to the humility of repentance (i.e. on their knees in tears of their sins at the foot of the cross), and the result of that arrogant church-ianity can be clearly seen in the speeches of Donald Trump.
(Read Psychology: Hoodwinked by the Devil here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

If you read carefully, 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 what everyone of every 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 asking the question did NOT ask Trump if he had asked God for forgiveness of SINS specifically, but nonetheless, Trump said that, even if he believed he had sinned, he does not "bring God into that picture." Therefore, in Donald Trump's mind, since he thinks he is automatically a good person inside (as do all members of religious cults), he has 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 a number of years, we can easily prove from the Scriptures that Donald 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 Jesus Christ 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.

A lot of Trump followers get enraged when I point this out about him, and that is typically for two reasons. The first reason is that they (for some strange cultic reason) must believe that Trump is an angel sent directly from the gates of heaven to help them.

Personally, I believe that Donald Trump is a good president for the country, and is doing a lot to dismantle the many decades of corruption that has taken root in Washington D.C. However, in the minds of cultic worshipers, Trump cannot just be a good president; rather, he must be "divine" in some manner in order to appease their religious ideologies.

The second reason is that they believe they are "Christians" who were "converted" in the same way as Donald Trump. Therefore, when I point out that Scripture contradicts Trump's testimony, they realize that if Trump is not a Christian, then they are not Christians either, so in their eyes, it is easier to shoot the messenger (i.e. me), than to face the facts.

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 because, in order to understand it, one must acknowledge his own wretched and vile condition. Donald 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 (right along side Peale, the Obamas, and the Clintons) 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 Donald Trump as 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 off 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

All that being said, Taylor's prophecy did specifically say that "God's chosen man" was supposed to be Donald Trump (i.e. "I have chosen this man, Donald Trump"), but it was supposed to be "in this next election," which would be 2012. In his book, Taylor tried to fool his readers a deceptive 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 because she claims that the prophecy said, "The enemy... will even quake and shake when he announces he is running for president," and so she concluded that this would only take place when Trump "announced" he was running for president, and since he had not announced it in 2012, she concluded that the prophecy was not about 2012. That is NOT the way the prophecy was written, nor was that the context, as I am about to prove.
(See Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 62, ISBN: 9780998142678)

Taylor attempts 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."

Because these things are said so quickly, and because many people in the audience do not care to do the work to research the details, the great majority of these people will never realize how Taylor tricks them with this explanation. Notice that Taylor said, "I THOUGHT it was going to be for 2012," and not, "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 a lot of people do not understand is that all of it comes down to a difference between the words 'this' and 'that', which are demonstrative pronouns that are used to indicate a person, place, thing, idea, time, event, etc.

Before I get to the his use of the word 'this', let's make sure we clarify something very important: Mark Taylor did NOT write, "when he announces he is running for president, then, in this next election" because those two phrases are written in two completely separate paragraphs. (i.e. "when he announces he is running for president" is in paragraph #2, while "in this next election" is in paragraph #4) If you read the entire prophecy that I quoted earlier in this chapter, you can see that these sentences were expressing two different ideas, one about the earth shaking at the announcement of Trump "running for president," and the other is about spending "billions to keep this president [i.e. Obama] in" office, which also did not happen because that could ONLY be referring to Obama. (i.e. Hillary Clinton, who Trump ran against in 2016, was NOT in the office of the Presidency.)

Let's also make sure that readers 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 wants to connect the two sentences together (despite the contextual contradiction), he said "in THIS next election," which refers to that which is closer, rather than that which is farther away. If the prophecy was supposed to be about a different election in 2016, or if it was supposed to be connected to the idea that it would have to wait until Trump announced he was running someday in the distant future, he would have written, "in THAT next election," but that is not what Mark Taylor did because he prophesied this about 2012, and does not want anyone to know that.

A moment ago, I said the latter of the two statements would be MORE honest because I do believe that Taylor was being somewhat honest with his first statement, namely, "I THOUGHT it was going to be for 2012." The reason I say this is because, in reality, his Trump prophecy was no prophecy at all, but rather, this was Taylor writing down his personal thoughts and feelings, and he is only attempting to get other people to believe it is a prophecy, so he can give himself a sense of importance and bask in his own glory.

I want to remind readers that, as I stated in the introduction to this book, the REAL Spirit of God has stated, in no uncertain terms, that any man who prophesies in His name, who gives a prophecy that does not come to pass, that man is a false prophet, and it only takes ONE false prophecy to be 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

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 wants to claim that Taylor's prophecy was rescued by his "announcement" excuse, there are other details in the prophecy that do not add up. For example, Taylor's prophecy said that Donald Trump would be elected in a landslide, or specifically in his words, "a clean sweep," but, first of all, Trump did not run at all in 2012, and secondly, even if Taylor believes the prophecy is referring to 2016 (which we know is a lie), it is STILL false 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 only won the election by about 2 points, or 2.1% of the popular vote. He won only 306 (slighly more than half) of the 538 electoral votes. 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)

If Taylor wants to use American jargon like "clean sweep" and claim those are the words of God, then we need to take the definition of those jargon phrases seriously, and obviously, Trump did not win in a clean sweep. Therefore, the prophecy has once again been proven false, even after Mary Colbert lied to her readers to try and save it.

However, for a man as prideful as Mark Taylor, he obviously would not come to repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow) of his sin because, after all, he is allegedly the "Beautiful One Whose Desires Are Fulfilled, and in Whose Life the Lord Dwells with the Divine Wind of Providence." Some readers might be curious about what Mark Taylor prophesied after obviously being proven false in 2012, but Mark's "Spirit of God," who named him "Shakina Kami," apparently went silent, and Taylor would not give his next prophesy for another four years.

Fast forward to June of 2015, rumors were abuzz (once again, just like in 2011) all over the 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]

Uncoincidentally, at the same 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."

So as we can see, Taylor decided to keep this extremely vague because he learned his lesson the first time. Enough time had passed that most people did not know who he was (despite the fact that no one really knew anyway because he did not receive much attention the first time), and so he knew he could try to ease into it this time with some vague, feel-good messages.

Because he wanted desperately for others to believe he was a true prophet of God, Taylor needed a few months to confirm evidence about Trump before he would "prophesy" about him again. Before he would give his next prophecy, Taylor waited until Trump had officially launched his campaign in June of 2015, had been running for a few months, and had a MASSIVE lead in the GOP priliminary polls... because, obviously, Taylor was so "faithful" to his calling that there was absolutely no need to trust in the words of "the Spirit of God" without first confirming the details so he would not embarass himself again like he did in 2011.

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 writes:
"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 a lot of it a bunch of boring pomp, and anything else significant we will cover in later chapters. If you want to read the whole thing, check the link in the reference. 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 "Shikina 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' does mean "world leader" (or some interpret to be "proud chief") which is Scottish in origin, and you can look up that basic information on any ordinary website that documents name meanings, but what was very interesting was that Taylor wrote (or rather, prophesied, meaning that he claimed this information came from God) that there was a "spiritual connotation" (i.e. designation or implication) that the name 'Donald' also means "faithful." Some people might write this off as just a "prophetic message," but that deviates from the process that Taylor has used in the past, and so I did a bit research to see if I could find any connection to the name 'Donald' meaning "faithful."

I was able to find a site that made the connection, and when I looked at what the website was about, it all started making sense. The website is called "Seven Reflections" and it is a pagan spiritualist site that focuses on the practice of tarot card readings.

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 intrepret "faithful" from this, depending on which pagan sites, books, or magazines Mark Taylor was reading to obtain this interpretation at the time.

For example, one 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 above. 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

The fact is that the only sites out there claiming that there is a "spiritual" meaning behind the name 'Donald' are psychics and mediums, and so if Taylor was truly giving a "prophecy from God," why would he need to turn to pagan spiritualists to get meaning? This is just the beginning of Taylor's downward spiral into paganism and witchcraft in divination, which I will cover more details about in the next chapter.

The word 'trump' generally means "to get the better of," which can be found in just about any standard dictionary. However, the definition "to outrank or defeat someone or something, often in a highly public way" was very suspicious to me because it was excessively lengthy and detailed for a name meaning, and not something I found in a variety of dictionaries and name-origin sites that I searched because, generally, a single word name is interpreted by only one or two words.

So as I was now getting familiar with Mark Taylor's habits, I decided to just copy and paste that exact phrase into a search engine, and I got an exact match from vocabulary.com (see image below), which was not part of the definitions of the word they provided, but it was an author's commentary about the word at the top of the page. Obviously, this is one of the places Mark Taylor searched to get his alleged "prophetic interpretation." I have a curious question: If this was a prophecy of God, why is God going to vocabulary.com to provide quotes from anonymous authors for divine revelation?

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

It is nonsensical that God would need to go to the authorship of a man in an online dictionary to provide alleged "spiritual meaning" to His Word. The fact is that God has never done this in Scripture, would have no need to do it, and doing so would only give glory to men (which is contradictory to His Word), and therefore, I am confident to say that God did not do this with Mark Taylor either because Taylor is just a false prophet who makes people to trust in his lie.

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 cover more about what Taylor calls the "Army of God" (which comes from a new-age religious cult of false prophets and fake apostles), but for now, readers should keep in mind that he uses these types of phrases a lot in his prophecies. This is one of the reasons he is so deceptive because, on the one hand, he claims that he is only giving his opinion, but then on the other hand, he will go onto an internationally broadcast CBN (i.e. the so-called "Christian" Broadcasting Network) interview to make predictions about the "Army of God" that he prophesies:
"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]

As I am writing this paragraph in the fall of 2022, I am confident that Trump will have a second term (if God wills), but that is NOT what Taylor was saying in that interview that was published in May of 2020. The CBN reporter was asking Taylor a question that was meant as a "prophetic word," and Taylor played along.

For example, if I were fixing a sandwich, and you asked me if I would be eating a sandwich for lunch, I could easily say "Yes" because that was within my power to know, understand, and accomplish, and there would be no need to ask me if I was sure because the evidence was in front of me. However, if you asked me if everyone in town was having a sandwich for lunch, I could not give a definite answer to that question without some sort of special knowledge that is beyond my capabilities, and if I answered "Yes" anyway, that would immediately cause skepticism and warrant an explanation, which would likely trigger a question, such as, "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), proving once again that he is nothing more than a con (i.e. confidence) 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 con man who fools people into believing that he is a disciple of Jesus Christ and servant of God. I have no problem boldly stating publicly that Mark Taylor is a worshiper and servant of Donald Trump because he worships the man as if he is 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 calls people to do, nor does he say that God is calling them to repentance for not serving Christ. In the eyes of Mark Taylor, true faith has nothing to do with Jesus Christ and the remission (i.e. pardon/forgiveness) of sins, but rather, he thinks true faith has everything to do with worshiping Donald Trump.

In another example, during an interview, Taylor glorifies Donald Trump as truth itself:
"[@31:13] They're trying to assasinate his character. They're trying to take him [Donald Trump] down to where he can't move forward into the destiny that God has for him, because he's [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 this statement might surprise some readers, by the time you are done reading this book, you will find that these types of statements from Taylor are quite common (although relatively unnoticed by his average listener because he talks so fast) because, as I have already stated, he worships Trump as a god. Donald Trump is not the truth, nor is he is a symbol of truth because Jesus Christ is the truth, and Jesus made that very clear to 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

Some of Taylor's followers may want to 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.

Notice how Taylor tried to backtrack the second it came out of his mouth that "[Trump] is the truth," because he knew instantly 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 tells me that the Christian God of the Bible who I worship is not the same as the "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 would be the greatest event in all of Scripture (outside of the return of Jesus Christ in Revelation, which is of equal importance). Everything in the Bible points to Jesus Christ and His wonderous mercy, but 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 absurdly foolish, it is because Taylor is NOT a born again Christian—he only plays one on the internet.


Now that we know who Mark Taylor worships, it should be easy to accept the evidence that he practices witchcraft through divination...
 


One of the odd things Taylor wrote about his "Trump prophecy" was his confession that he NOT know if he was hearing God, but rather, he had 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 was terribly confusing when I first read it. Was it a "sensation" (i.e. a feeling) or was it "knowing" (i.e. knowledge)? There is no such thing as a "sensation of knowledge," however, that is the impression Taylor attempted to peddle to his readers, which is part of his general strategy, that is, to make things appear to be "special revelation" while leaving them ambiguous so he will not have to answer for saying anything definitive, and he thinks that will keep him from appearing fraudulent on the surface.

This is strikingly similar to the testimony of Joseph Smith, the founder of the Mormon cult, who claimed that his testimony and vision were true because he got a "burning in the bosom," or in other words, a sensation in his heart. To this day, Mormons tell people to read Smith's corrupt documents (e.g. The Book of Mormon, The Pearl of Great Price, etc) and try to "feel" if it is true, to seek the "sensations" of so-called "truth" behind Smith's writings to confirm their legitimacy, instead of doing research and investigation to prove the truth, which is how we verify the Word of God.
(Read "Corruptions of Christianity: Mormonism" here at creationliberty.com for more 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

God does not instruct us in Scripture to follow our feelings, but rather, he instructs us to prove matters with evidence, meaning that we need to examine the Scriptures to understand them, and then compare that information with what we see from the world to discern the truth. This is why the Bible tells us that the righteous do the work of study to answer 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

But unlike Joseph Smith, Mark Taylor has the problem that we identified in chapter one, namely, that he was taking Zoloft, and then experienced "odd sensations," which is a common side effect of the drug. He said he knew it was "by the inspiration of God," but then said it was an "odd sensation" that he "discerned," and so his testimony is unreliable in the sense that it may very well have been drug-induced.

In addition to these problems, many people do not know that Mark Taylor has practiced a form of witchcraft called "divination" for many years. Before I begin to explain what divination is, and how Mark Taylor has used it, I want to quote Taylor in an interview he did on the The McFiles (a program hosted by new-age religious cultist and false preacher Christopher MacDonald), in which he tries to fool his audience into thinking that he is opposed to 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]

The reason I began this chapter with that quote was for express purpose of demonstrating that Mark Taylor a blatant liar, and knowingly deceives his audience about who he is and what he does. By the time you get done reading this chapter, you will be able to clearly see that Taylor is channeling "from powers and principalities," that he is "skewing" his interpretations, and making himself sound like he is divinely foretelling the future, when in fact, 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, in which someone attempts to commune with spirits to gain special insight into events outside of their realm of knowledge. In heathen/pagan culture, there are two types of divination, natural (i.e. by means of inspiration or divine knowledge) and artificial (i.e. by means of rites, experiments, or observations in nature, like the waxing of the moon or migration of birds).

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 example, in eastern cultures, one might see a crack form in the mug of tea they are drinking out of, and they view that as a "omen," or in other words, a sign of bad things to come. These are silly pagan superstitions, but few people understand that this is based on the practice of divination, which is the attempt to gain supernatural knowledge through the belief in subtle communications with spirits.

This is something Taylor often does. In his book, he wrote:
"I sat down at my desk and continue 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."

As we can see, Taylor often looks for omens to guide his path, just like a superstitious pagan mystic would do. However, Taylor is worse than the pagans on this point because at least the pagans faithfully take a bad omen to be a bad omen, but Mark Taylor leaves omens open to interpretation, being either good or bad, so that way, once he gets more knowledge later, he can always interpret the omen to be "right," which also makes it easier for him to scam people into thinking 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 the wife of Don Colbert, Taylor's physician) talked about her time with Taylor, in which he told her how he had come to learn of his Trump prophecy. She said that he used the names of winning horses in derby races to interpret messages from God (also known as divination), and Mary said that when she attempted to use this same divination practice, the winning horse's name was "Creator," and so she took that 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 thought Mary seemed a bit gullible and foolish, that is because willful blindness creates guillible fools, and that is quite common among the New Apostolic Reformation, of which Taylor and the Colberts are all a part of, and I will cover more on that in the next chapter. What Mary and Mark are doing is a practice that God has condemned as an abomination in His sight, meaning that God hates it with the utmost hatred, and this is not something to be taken lightly, but those who do not have the discernment of the Holy Spirit willingly follow vain and lying divination, and fall prey to devils that will take advantage of 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 is precisely the definition of divination, namely, the foretelling of future events and secret revelation by the aid of spiritual beings through observations in society and nature. This is not an isolated incident, meaning that Taylor does this frequently, as do nearly all modern-day, so-called "prophets."

On page 109, Taylor says that he listened to Trump's announcement that he was running for POTUS on June 16th, and so he started looking for major historical events that took place on June 16th. He found that the first test detonation of a nuclear bomb took place on June 16th, 1945, and (without defining his methods) interpreted this to mean that it was 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])

I would like readers to ask yourselves a question: How could you prove what Mark Taylor said was true or false? I am not referring to the historical information, but rather, how can you prove that there is or is not a divine meaning in these two things? The answer is that you cannot do either, meaning that you cannot prove that it was true that there was some spiritual prophetic connection between the two dates, nor could you prove that there was not.

However, a much more important point is that this is not a prophecy at all. I understand that many churchgoers call this "prophesying," but they use that term under the context of foretelling future events and revealing secrets, and the reality is that Taylor's "shot heard round the world" comment is not predicting any future event or revealing 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

So what the heathen do, for example, is look at the position of the sun, moon, and stars in the sky, and then react to them with spiritual interpretations and/or religious rituals. Church buildings all over the world participate in this same paganism, despite the fact that the Lord God has always hated these practices, and 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 of which are abominations in the sight of God.
(Read "Halloween: Are Christians Lovers of Death?", Christmas: Rejecting Jesus, and "Easter: Christians Celebrating Abomination" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

So when Taylor puts spiritual emphasis on a major event taking place on the same date from two different years, he is putting spiritual emphasis on the position of the sun, moon, and stars in the sky at that particular time of the year. For example, if I ate a muffin on June 16th, and Donald Trump at a muffin on June 16th, does that mean there is a spiritual connection between myself and Donald Trump? (Such a thought is absurd and laughable.) This is no different from what heathen (i.e. pagans) have always done, and we Christians need to be cautious of, and keep our distance from, any man who claims to be of Christ and practices such heathen divination.

Of course, just from a logical standpoint, it is nonsensical for Taylor to claim there was spiritual significance concerning historical events that took place on the same date because anyone can do the exact same thing Taylor is doing. For example, the date I am writing this paragraph is October 4, 2022, and so I will use this date as an example to make up some so-called "prophetic" interpretations about exposing Mark Taylor's false prophecies to that date, so we can see how the scam works.

On October 4th, 1636, Plymouth Colony (in what would later become Massachusetts) drafted its first law. Therefore, if we adopt Mark Taylor's "prophetic" way of thinking, would could "prophesy" that this date is significant in that God is leading people to hear His law and prophets, and turn away from false prophets like Taylor.

On October 4th, 1648, Peter Stuyvesant created America's first volunteer firefighter service. Mark Taylor was a firefighter, and therefore, we could say that this is God "revealing" the purity of the original firefighters, who were not corrupted by Freemasonry and false prophets like Taylor.

On October 4th, 1957, the Television sitcom "Leave It to Beaver" aired its first episode. The name "Leave It to Beaver" is significant because beavers build dams, and dams hold back water, and that represents the living waters of Jesus that are being held back because of Mark Taylor's false prophecy, and therefore, this is God telling us that whoever reads my book and turns away from Taylor is breaching the dam to bring forth the living waters of Christ! (Please keep in mind, I cannot write this with a straight face because I am laughing the entire time.)

This is how ridiculous this can get in a hurry. By using this process, which is part of divination (i.e. a practice of witchcraft that God hates), you can turn 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.

It is important to 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, and 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 the desires of Simon the socerer, a false convert who got baptized and followed the apostles around because he wanted power, and sought to get it from the methods of men, instead of looking to God.

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 the definition of 'artificial divination' from Webster's dictionary was "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 is described in Taylor's book, namely, that they are using the positions of horses to "divine a message from God" by their own will, which is also part of 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]

This is an excellent example of the insanity of those who practice divination because not only was this a vague intrepretation of what she wanted to hear, but it was also completely useless. Some corrupt churchgoers who believe in the sinful practice of divination might say this is edifying to hear a "message from God" that He will win, but the Bible already tells us that in clear language with understanding:

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

Therefore, even if it were true (which we know it is not), it would be superfluous, meaning that it is completely unnecessary, however, the Bible is not important to Mary because she is looking for signs and miracles elsewhere. The reason Jesus tells us that Mary and Mark look for those things is because they are wicked of heart, and follow 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 then went on to give her own presuppositional spin on the word "creator," to tie it together with Mark's so-called "prophesy" because, after all, if she writes a book with him, they are going to need 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 pull this out of one word? This is what I want readers to understand: It DOES NOT MATTER what the name of that horse would have been because Mary would have interpreted it any way 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!"

So, for example, we could take the winning names of horses of the Kentucky Derby through the era of Trump's election into the presidency and create a so-called "prophecy" from it by interpreting the words any way we want. Here are the winners over the course of four years, starting in 2015 and going through 2019:

American Pharoah (2015) Nyquist (2016) Always Dreaming (2017) Justify (2018) Country House (2019)

So these practicers of witchcraft 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 (e.g. 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 easy it is to create this trash, and if I were a part of that new-age cult, practiced this nonsense, and shared it with them, I would be extremely popular. I gathered all this information, and wrote it all down, including the interpretation, in a matter of about ten minutes, and diviners who know how to market this garbage make a boat-load of money off of gullible churchgoers who care nothing for God's Word, in which He condemned what Mark and Mary are doing.

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 kept reading Taylor's book, I was blown away because, the entire section you just read with a mock "prophecy" about the Kentucky Derby winning horses, I wrote that down BEFORE I got to the part in Taylor's book in which he actually used "American Pharoah," the winning horse from the 2015 Kentucky Derby, to divine messages. I started laughing out loud in my office when I read that because I did not think he would use the exact same example that I just came up with, but it is a perfect analogy to prove my point. This is what Taylor affectionately called "The Great Horse" Prophecy, which starts off with his claim that God is saying (and I kid you not, this is what he claimed that he "received from God" while watching a horse movie), "There's another one coming, there's another one coming! It's 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 alleged that he received this "prophecy" while he was watching a movie called Secretariat, which is about a race horse with the same name. (It is a good thing he was not watching The Little Mermaid, or this prophecy might have gotten weirder than it already is.) If you study Scrpiture, how many instances can you find where God spoke to His prophets through the entertainment mediums of the world?

One of the major red warning flags with Mark Taylor is his statements about the Bible, but he provides no evidence from the Bible to back up those statements. For example, to justify his "Great Horse Prophecy," Taylor said:
"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 statement that "God speaks to everyone in imagery that they can understand" is just blatantly false. I am not saying that God never used any imagery that we, as mankind, could not understand (of course, he does), but rather, God speaks to everyone in a language they can understand, and has often used imagery that we could not comprehend, which is why, for example, Nebuchadnezzar required God to send Daniel to explain the imagery of his dream to him. (Dan 2:5)

I have studied the Bible for many years, but I do not claim to be any expert on it, realizing that there is a lot about the Bible I still do not understand and much more I need to learn. (1Co 10:12) However, in all my years studying the Bible, I do not recall there being frequent instances of "horse prophecies," and I double checked with our church on the matter (since they study their Bibles often too), just in case I missed something, and they all could not recall or find hardly any instances of this either.

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 a "horse prophecy." Taylor specifically stated that horses were used to "illustrate what will come next," so this is not talking about horses generally being talked about in Scripture; he means that horses were used as prophetic symbols. Perhaps I missed one or two somewhere, but the problem is that Taylor said that God "often" (i.e. many times) used "horses" in prophecy, which means that we should see this at least once or twice in just about 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 an example of Mark Taylor blatantly lying in order to justify some idea he has in his mind. This should be a clear warning sign to stay far away from anything this man teaches because it will be difficult for newer Christians to discern when Taylor is lying, and if he is willing to make obviously false statements like this to fool people into thinking he is knowledgable of Scripture, what else might he be lying about?
(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 the Secretariat, there is a particular reason that Mark Taylor put emphasis on this horse in his prophecy, and he tells us 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]

So this indicates to us that Taylor has long tuned in to false prophets like Paul Keith Davis, and learned divination techniques from them. Davis used "horse divination" and so Taylor followed in his footsteps.

This brings us to a crossroads in which I could write another whole book exposing the false teachings of men like Paul Keith Davis, his claim that he visits heaven on a regular basis, his strong connections to other false prophets like Bob Jones, who also claims he visits heaven over a lunch break with televangelist Todd Bentley (the man who claimed to kick elderly women in the face to "heal" them), and many other such corruptions. I want to stay focused on the topic of this book, which is Mark Taylor, but this is very revealing about Taylor's connections to divination in new-age cults (e.g. Charismatics, Pentecostals, Apostolics, etc) in televangelism.

As I pointed out earlier, 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, from what I understand, American Pharaoh did NOT beat Secretariat's time in the Triple Crown; rather, American Pharaoh only ran the last quarter of the race a bit faster, but Secretariat still holds the Triple Crown record as of 2022. The Wall Street Journal put out a video comparison showing the race of the two horses in a side-by-side view, and Secretariat was far superior, meaning that Taylor was hinging his so-called "prophecy" on the name of a horse based timing of one quarter of a single race, which is absurdity I have a hard time putting into words.
-Wall Street Jounral, "American Pharoah vs. Secretariat: Who Would Win?" June 9, 2015, retrieved Dec 20, 2022, [https://youtu.be/eT50hQINVrI]

It is certainly odd for someone to interpret "Pharoah" as "the Church," but as I mentioned earlier, witches who practice divination (i.e. psychics, mediums, etc), when they speak anything that is considered a prediction from the spiritual realm, it is most often something that is neither provable or disprovable. (Whenever they say something illogical that they have no answer for, they use the excuse that the spiritual realm is "mysterious," in the same way that church-ianity cultists will use the excuse that "God works in mysterious ways.") This means that what they are saying is so vague, it does not provide enough specific detail to allow anyone to say they were wrong, and it provides only enough information that the hearer might fill in their own interpretation to say that it was "true."

For example, let's say I claimed that I received a "vision from the Lord" that told me that the turkey sandwich I have for dinner tomorrow will be a special, spiritual turkey sandwich that will give me a blessing so I could preach an important message this week. How could you prove that was fulfilled, or how could you disprove it, that it was not fulfilled?

Whichever position you take (i.e. it was fulfilled or it was not fulfilled) all depends on your preconceived beliefs. If you believe that I am preaching the truth, then you would be inclined to believe that the turkey sandwich spiritually blessed me, but if you believe that I am a minister of Satan (which many followers of Mark Taylor believe about me), then you would be led to believe that I was a false prophet because I was not blessed by the turkey sandwich, and yet, both are nothing more than conjectures from presuppositional bias, or in other words, the hearers are making a decision based on how they feel beforehand, not based on the evidence presented (or lack thereof).

There is no need for such a prophecy because if you simply listen to what I preach, comparing what I am saying with the Word of God, which is what Christians ought to do, then you do not need a flashy prophecy, filled with feel-good, cotton-candy messages (i.e. all fluff and no substance) to discern the truth about what I am saying. Likewise, if we simply read the doctrine and philosophy (i.e. way of thinking) of the men who claim to be prophets, and compare it with the doctrine and philosophy of the Bible, it is much more simple to discern the truth and expose the lies.

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, as I mentioned briefly in the last chapter. I covered the deceptions of numerology much more thoroughly in another teaching I have 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 wondering where in the Bible Taylor came up with the idea that the number 5 means "grace and redemption," you will be disappointed because he does not give any information on this. The reason Taylor keeps quiet about it is because he did not get it from the Bible, and does not want his listeners to know that.

It should be noted that there is no place in the Bible where numbers are defined to have particular spiritual meaning. This includes the number 666, which has no spiritually defined meaning in Scripture, but rather, it is only said that it is the number the final antichrist will use it to represent himself. (Rev 13:18) All the so-called "divine" or spiritual" interpretations of numbers come from pagans and false prophets who use heathen divination and mysticism, applying their own meanings to the numbers based on their subjective presuppositions that they can interpret hidden knowledge through mathematics.

Since we have already established that Mark Taylor uses internet search engines to interpret his so-called "prophecies," I went to an internet search engine to look up who was saying that the number 5 represents "grace." Unsurprisingly, I got a long list of results from psychics, mediums, numerologists, and tarot card readers, and that should tell you EVERYTHING you need to know about Mark Taylor, namely, that 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 of those search results was from Planet Numerology, in which they said that the number five was very significant because, they claim, 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." However, if you actually open up the Bible to the book of Deuteronomy in chapter 20 and read the Ten Commandments, you will notice that the Fifth Commandment (which they claimed was about "relationship between man and God") is to honor your father and mother, which is about one's "relationship with others," so what they say on these websites concerning the Word of God, in many cases, is not true.
(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, who is a self-proclaimed (third-generation) psychic and medium, offers the same pagan explanation for the number five as Planet Numerology (i.e. the number five representing grace in the Bible), but also added in the interpretations for Hinduism and Buddhism as well:
"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]

There were countless pages of search results I found all saying the same thing, and they were all from sites of corrupt religions and demonic ideologies. This is divination and witchcraft, which is full of silly superstitions, and Mark Taylor is walking on thin ice with God when he parades this garbage in the 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 he added, "which I BELIEVE is Revelation 2:26," which contains the cherry-picked line, "to him will I give power over the nations," and proclaimed that it was a spiritual sign for Donald Trump. This ignores the fact that the power over the nations that Christ promised to his elect in Revelation 2:26 was the saving power of the Gospel, and not ruling authority in government, which comes afterwards, and it is certainly not referring to a single person in 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? He does not provide that information to his audience.

Of course, none of this makes sense because we know that Taylor is simply jumping to conclusions based on his presuppositional bias. For example, why did Taylor not assume that the horse's winning time was referring 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

Although I have already clearly proven Taylor's numerological divination, it is still worth posing this question anyway because it exposes Taylor's pagan ideology. He could not use Jeremiah 2:26 because it is not a feel-good message that people will enjoy, and furthermore, it puts the prophets (like Mark Taylor) to shame, since God condemns their lies, and the condemns the profit they make from the lies they feed to the people, which He tells us is a form of theft; the same theft that Taylor commits when he peddles his lies to the people.

He also said that the horse's jockey was born in a family of 12 children, and won the 12th Triple Crown, so Taylor declared 12 to mean "God's government" and that it connected to Trump because Trump was the 12th Republican candidate to enter the race for President of the United States (POTUS) that year, and the last part of the paragraph in question caused me to raise my eyebrow in suspicion because he put part of it in parentheses. (i.e. "12 means God's government (will be established upon the earth)") Again, I wanted to know where Taylor come up with the number 12 representing God's government, because there is nothing in the Bible that teaches us such a thing, but once more, Taylor does not provide any references or other information to tell us where he got that from, which indicates that it came from nefarious sources.

Since we now know Taylor's tendencines, once again, I opened up an internet search engine and typed in "number 12 represents government." At this point, I am fairly certain that most readers will be unsurprised that I found a horde of websites talking about it, and they were nearly all psychics, mediums, astrologers, numerologists, and tarot card readers.
(See "Numerology is Occult Divination" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

Going to back to Planet Numerology, they make the claim that because the number 12 appears in various places throughout the Bible, therefore, it is "a symbol of perfection, completion, and government." For example, they make the argument that 12 represents government because of the 12 tribes of Israel, which is comical to me because there were technically 13 tribes of Israel. (i.e. They forgot about Ephriam and Manasseh.) Of course, the Bible (i.e. God) never declared any of those things about these numbers, but pagans, like Mark Taylor, follow after their silly superstitions because they do not take God's Word seriously, and seek to apply their own perceived "spiritual" meanings to these things without God's approval, while hypocritically and falsely speaking in His name.
(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])

It is also interesting to note that Taylor decided it was a supposedly divine revelation that 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."
-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]

This is one of the rare instances that I have agreed with Taylor because he definitely does not know what a prophetic sign is. Please note that Taylor said "SOME of the names," and that is because he cherry-picked names that he thought sounded prophetic and ignored all the others.

Some of the names Taylor did NOT include were Castle Eight, Storm Cat, Storm Bird, Mercuriale, Yankee Gentleman, and Little Princess Emma, because he knows that he would have a very difficult time coming up with a "prophetic" explanation for them. Taylor has enough understanding about his scam to know that he cannot sell the idea that this is a "spiritually prophetic" lineage if he included other names such as Jester, Bad Seed, and Sex Appeal, which were all part of American Pharoah's bloodline.
(See Pedigree Online, "American Pharoah," retrieved Oct 7, 2022, [https://www.pedigreequery.com/american+pharoah])

Taylor then mentions more false prophets to try and back up his claims on this point, and promotes the website "Elijahlist.com," which is a hub for networking false prophets. For example, Elijahlist.com promotes Lance Wallnau, who I exposed for his false doctrines and prophecies (e.g. he taught that Daniel in the Bible was a psychic) in my free-to-read book, Psychology: Hoodwinked by the Devil, and they also promote Kim Clement, who I exposed for his false doctrines and prophecies (e.g. he taught that one does not need to be born again to be saved, John 3:7) in my free-to-read book, False Prophet Profiles: Kim Clement. (Their website promotes countless false prophets/preachers beyond these two examples.)

If there is any spirit that is speaking to Mark Taylor, it is a demonic spirit of divination, and I have provided a lot of evidence to that fact in this chapter. Jesus Christ NEVER taught us that we should look for divine meanings and secret messages in names, and if you look hard enough, and twist and distort information long enough, you can make anything mean anything 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

Pagans mix and match anything they want for their own agenda, and likewise, Mark Taylor borrowed from false prophet Paul Keith Davis's pagan divination to create his own version. Personally, I found it interesting that Taylor (while "prophesying" about Secretariat) put emphasis on the horse's accomplishments (i.e. a number of national derby wins), but not on the name, while Mary Colbert (while "prophesying" about Creator) puts emphasis on horse's name, but not on the horse's accomplishments because there was not much to talk about for that horse.

As I just said, in Mark and Mary's pagan world, anything can be interpreted to be anything they desire it to be, which means that, 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. This should be very clear warning sign for any born again Christian to discern, and as we move into the next chapter on Taylor's corrupt doctrine, it will not be hard to see why he participates in this hopelessly circular ideology.

Now that we have seen Taylor's divination practices, 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!"
-Mark Taylor, "How to Spot a False Prophet," The McFiles, Dec 24, 2020, retrieved Oct 26, 2022, [https://youtu.be/mqtkY7VJ58w?t=215]

Mark, 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 level of willful blindness, Mark Taylor reads from an online article in which he claimed that he was in full agreement with, and he said:
"[@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, and yet, he has the nerve to accuse others of that sin in overt hypocrisy. This is why Jesus told us to judge righteous judgment, and not judge as a hypocrite, which means we should all look inwardly first to 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. Everyone judges people and things automatically, all the time, every day. In fact, the people who tell me that I should not judge, most often turn around and hypocritically tell me how evil I am for telling the truth, which means they are judging me in hypocrisy. Jesus told us to judge one another by first remembering that the judgments by which we judge will be applied to us as well, so we should first hold ourselves to the same standards by which we judge:

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 doctirne, Mark Taylor is one of the biggest hypocrites I have ever witnessed, in which he practices witchcraft and adopts new-age doctrines, while criticizing others as evil for practicing witchcraft and adopting new-age doctrines. He cannot see the pagan forest because the pagan trees are in the way; demonstrating his extraordinary willful ignorance. The true church of Christ has never turned to witchcraft and new-age doctrine, but corrupt churchgoers have done so, and Mark Taylor is one of them, namely, 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 are done reading this chapter, you may be shocked that Mark Taylor has any kind of listening audience at all, however, we need to remember that pagan ideology runs rampant across the world (and sadly, across much of America today), much more than the average churchgoer wants to believe. This is mostly because the majority of those very churchgoers only hold up the Bible when it is convenient for them (to put on a show for others), and frequently participate in pagan rituals and accept pagan ideology in their willful blindness, while viciously lashing out at anyone who would dare to tell them the truth, which is why Mark Taylor appeals to a somewhat wide audience.

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 that he made available to download on PDF, he also listed "prayers" that could be downloaded. I want readers to take a moment and consider this carefully: If you prayed a prayer unto the Lord, what need would you have write it down word-for-word and make it available for others to download?

The only reason that someone would write down and publish their private prayer was for others to read it, but for what reason? It does not take much discernment to see that Taylor listed these "prayers" among his "prophecies" because he wants people to think they are written by "the Spirit of God," which is nonsensical because a prayer is simply a humble request to the Lord, which makes it a contradiction for God to request something of Himself.

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 any readers found it strange that Taylor is praying about enemy radars and frequencies, you are correct, it is strange. Taylor believes Satan is putting out frequencies into the atmosphere that is altering peoples' DNA so they are forced to hate Donald Trump, and if you think I am exaggerating, in chapter seven, I will show you the quotations from Taylor's own mouth; that is exactly what he believes.

The Lord Jesus Christ told us that hypocrites love to pray to be seen of men. Of course, it is not wrong to pray publicly, nor is it wrong to pray as a group in public (Mat 18:20), but Jesus told us we ought to pray in secret, and so the error is for Mark Taylor to publicly glorify himself by creating a downloadable prayer that he believes other people should pray in order to ward off "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 (i.e. pagans) think that if they speak a special ritualistic prayer, it will invoke power from the spiritual realm, and that is part of the process by which they cast magic spells. This is precisely the purpose of having these prayers written out and made available for download, because Mark Taylor believes that if people repeat his prayers, they will receive special spiritual benefits, which adds more evidence to the fact that Taylor is a pagan parading himself as a "Christian," and as we are about to see, he has long believed in these types of pagan ritualistic prayers.

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 does not often speak of himself in the third person, but he did it occasionally because, after all, it gave him an opportunity to proclaim his self-glorifying, heathenistic name, "Shakina Kami," or as he called himself in full interpretation, 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 then went on to talk about his belief that he was experiencing "demonic oppression," and I believe that he was, but my reasoning for that was different from Taylor's because I know that he utilizes the religious practices of witches. In short, if you play demonic games, you win demonic prizes, and what Taylor said next was very revealing if you are paying 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 just confessed that he went to a signifanct number of "dream interpreters," who were of a high reputation. In the Bible, they are referred to as "astrologers, magicians, and soothsayers," but they are more commonly known today as psychics and mediums (even some that are churchgoers, and claim to be "Christians" in new-age cults), who practice divination, and Taylor also contacted what he called "theologians," even though (as we learned in the last chapter) they are members of the New Apostolic Reformation, which we will learn in this chapter is a cult filled to the brim 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 want to offer a warning to Christians that, if anyone approaches you, or prays with you, and they pray "the blood of Jesus over everything," you should take extreme caution around such people. The Bible tells us that the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ cleanses the sin of mankind (1Jo 1:7), but only for those who have been given repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow of wrongdoing) and faith (in the grace of God, and in the payment of Jesus Christ 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, in which praying "the blood of Jesus" over your dishwasher will fix it. Praying "the blood of Jesus" over a broken leg is not going to mend it. This is the kind of pagan witchcraft ideology that you see in the Catholic Church, in which they think they have prayed blessings over water to create "holy water" that has some imagined magical properties, otherwise known in the Bible as the sin of performing enchantments.
(Read Corruptions of Christianity: Catholicism 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 demonic pagan practices are revealed in his speech. I have had Taylor's worshipers accuse me of being evil, claiming that no one can know what is in a man's heart, but Jesus Christ told us that we can know what is in his 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

Why are there so many churchgoers that do not believe this? Because there are many who claim to be disciples of Christ, who do not study His Word, nor do they adhere themselves to His doctrine.

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

What Taylor wrote next was unsurprising in the sense that I figured this to be case beforehand, but surprising in the sense that he could not see what was going on, even when he was writing it down:
"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 listened to various testimonies of those who had been saved out of paganism, Satanism, and witchcraft, and I have heard this same story from a number of people who have no connection with, or knowledge of, one another. They all testified the same thing, namely, that demonic spirits would hold them down and prevent them from speaking, and it is generally called "demonic possession."

The major problem with this is that one who has the Holy Spirit dwelling within him CANNOT be possessed by devils. All those testimonies I just mentioned were accounts of what happened to them BEFORE they were converted, but the difference between them and Taylor is that he claims this happened AFTER he was converted.

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 devils to dwell in the same temple together, which is why we will find no devils in heaven. Therefore, if Taylor was demonically possessed, as is fairly obvious based on Taylor's testimony, then the only conclusion we can make is that Taylor did not have the Holy Spirit, and since one cannot be a Christian without the Holy Spirit, it is easy to see that Taylor was not (and is not) of Christ because he has never been born again.

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 something called a "generational deliverance ministry," which is a corrupt organization of pseudo-Christians who use new-age methods that combine witchcraft/divination with church building traditions. (i.e. They are religious traditions created by men in church buildings, not by God in His Word.) They believe that there are generational curses that run through families, which is true to a degree because God said there were (Exd 20:5), and despite the fact that being born again in Jesus Christ frees a man from these things (because God frees His children from such curses, Heb 13:5, Rom 8:28), the "generational deliverance ministries" teach that you have to do a bunch of other rituals, ceremonies, and hocus pocus (i.e. utterances) to get rid of the curses, which is exactly what Eastern witchdoctors teach, and I covered more on that in my book, Psychology: Hoodwinked by the Devil, which is free to read here at creationliberty.com.

Taylor went on to say that a woman named Melissa Leggett (which is unsurprising because witchcraft operates opposite to Scripture in that females are most often the leaders) taught him a doctrine that he agreed with:
"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 obviously believed this doctrine, or he would not have gone through with the process, and so Taylor is willingly ignorant that both he and Melissa just denied the Lord Jesus Christ. Most churchgoers believe that denying the Lord Jesus Christ only takes place if someone directly says "I deny Jesus," but rather, denial of Christ is the denial of His Gospel of Salvation, whether done verbally or in the heart, as well a denial of Christ's other doctrines that are attached to it, and through study of the Bible, we can determine if someone is denying Christ in their doctrines.

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 cleansed sin, then there would have been no need for Jesus Christ to come to this world and die on the cross to save us from our sins because all anyone would have to do is pray away their sin. Again, prayer is a humble request to God for something desired, and men pray to God to plead for the mercy of Christ for their salvation, but it is NOT the prayer itself that saves men because only God's grace through the saving blood of Jesus Christ can save men from their sins.
(Read "The Biblical Understanding of Prayer" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

Furthermore, if prayer cleansed sin, then that is a works-based doctrine of fake salvation that rejects the price that Jesus Christ paid on the cross at Calvary because it teaches rituals in place of grace by repentance (i.e. godly sorrow of sins committed) and faith in Christ. It is no different than a "repeat-after-me" prayer (what is commonly called the "sinner's prayer") that is vainly repeated countless times in church buildings by people who have been given no 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, but she also taught him that the children of God are held to personal responsibility for the sins of others, which is a lie from the devil. The people who operate 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 will say that if your grandfather hated God, then you are held accountable for his sins, until you go through the hocus pocus of their religious prayer rituals. However, in their haste to justify their pagan rituals, they do not heed the 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 keeps His commandments (which is to love the Lord God with all our heart and mind, and to love our neighbors as we already love ourselves, Mat 22:37-40), God will show mercy not only to that man, but to thousands of generations after him, which is more than has ever existed in the 6,000 years of the history of this world. These corrupt heretics ignore the mercy God gives to a man because they do not know of His mercy (i.e. they feign understanding), they claim to have the blood of Jesus Christ paid on their accounts, but have never come to repentance and known Him, which is why they continue 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 he came from a family of Freemasons, and he believed that was the reason for his curses. Freemasonry is certainly demonic, and I wrote more about that in my free-to-read book, Freemasonry: A Luciferian Beacon, however, my own grandfather was a 32nd degree Freemason, but the Lord God showed me mercy and gave me the gifts of repentance and faith, and when I was born again in Jesus Christ, He cleansed my spirit of all sin, and though I made many foolish decisions in my life, He guided and protected me as a father to a child; or in other words, because of His mercy (Exd 20:6), I did not have to suffer the sins of my grandfather.

Why did God leave Taylor to the whims of the devils who possessed him? Because Taylor does not trust in the Lord Jesus Christ of Scripture (i.e. he trusts in a false god he calls "Donald Trump"), and so 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 I have previously mentioned, Mark Taylor follows a religious movement called the "New Apostolic Reformation." For any readers unfamiliar with this cult and what they believe, we will need to spend a bit of time briefly explaining their heresies because it will help us make more sense of things that Taylor writes in his failed prophecies (which we will cover in the next chapter).

On a public radio show, Taylor was talking 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."

So it logically follows that if a man is learning from Apostolics, he will adopt Apostolic beliefs and habits. There is a lot that could be said about Apostolics, and I will try to keep it as short as I can, but there are number of things we need to cover before getting into more of Taylor's corrupt doctrines, so we can fully understand why he acts and speaks the way he does.

The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is a congregation of churchgoers who abandon the idea of adherance to the doctrines of Scripture (i.e. they only hold up Scripture when it makes them feel good, or if they can twist it to support one of their preconceived beliefs), and instead, they put emphasis and arbitrary spiritual meaning behind their personal feelings, opinions, and experiences. Their ideology teaches that apostles and prophets hold authority higher than that of pastors, teachers, and evangelists, and God has begun to "reform" the church since the 1980s, to fill the church with so-called "seers prophets" and so-called "miracle workers" who will lead churchgoers into a new age of reshaping the world, to purify it, and usher in the return of Jesus for a new spiritual kingdom on earth.

In the minds of New Apostolic Reformationists (NARs), they see Adam as not just fallen because of sin, but also fallen because he lost his dominion over the earth (which is not true, because that has always remained, which is why mankind has the greatest dominion over earthly things), so they believe that Christ's sacrifice on the cross was meant to empower Christians to retake their lost dominion. NAR leadership is made up of false prophets (who give vague, easily re-interpreted predictions), and fake apostles (who put on a show of feigned miracles and promote false prophets), in order to take control of the earth, namely in the areas of education, media, economics, and most of all, 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]

If you can recall back to previous chapters in which I quoted Mark Taylor, you may remember how frequently Taylor referred to "the Army of God" and how he called God the "Supreme Commander" of a "spiritual army." Now that we have gained a general understanding of what the NAR is, it should now start to make sense why Taylor uses these phrases, namely, because the NAR believes that they are an army of churchgoers that are going to take over the world and prepare it for Christ to return and rule over it.

For example, the following is an excerpt from Taylor's "Defeated Enemy" prophecy written in January of 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!"

If we look to the Word of God, we can clearly see that Jesus Christ never commanded any of this. Christ's apostles and prophets did not tell us that Christains were going to defeat Satan's system in this world because 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 tell us that there would be a bunch of new genuine prophets that would appear in the final days, but rather, He said would be a lot of FALSE prophets, who would even show great signs and wonders, to the point that, if it were possible, they would deceive the elect children of God, but thanks to the blessings of wisdom and understand from the Holy Spirit, we who are 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

There is no hint of Mark Taylor's doctrine being taught anywhere by the New Testament church in Scripture. This is why NARs tend to ignore the Word of God and follow the emotions of their foolish and wicked hearts, and it is also why, in personal conversation with these religious cultists, they retaliate with hatred towards me when I quote 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 aim their hatred towards me, but I know it is NOT me who they really hate, rather, it is the Lord God who they hate, because they have not been given a love of the truth of His Word, while they give hypocritical lip service to Him in their church buildings.

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

They do not want to judge themselves, nor do they want to be judged at all because they hate righteous judgement. (John 7:24) The reason they are like this is because (as we are about to learn) they do NOT believe that God's Word in Scripture is the final authority in all matters of faith and practice, just as Mark Taylor does not believe that either.

I want to list a few names of people who are part of the NAR. Some readers may be familiar with these names, while others may not, but for clarity, I want to list them anyway so there is no confusion about what I mean when I talk about what kind of heresies are taught in 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.

For those of you familiar with the heresies of Todd Bentley (i.e. the man who said he gave an old woman the "Holy Spirit" by kicking her in the face), you may remember an infamous video that went around YouTube where he was "anointed" into his "apostolic" ministry, in which men were touching his head with oil, and he was convulsing and falling on the floor. That event was the 2008 Apostolic Alignment Ceremony, in which these heretics were all performing their demonic spiritual "anointing" on to Bentley, while off-camera, he was a serial adulterer and fornicator who was having sex with various women behind his wife's back, paying them (from his pool of donations) to keep quiet about it, and the mainstream so-called "Christian" media ran cover for him by labeling it 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])

By the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, I have no problem stating boldly that anyone who has any long-term association with these people are NOT Christians. There is no chance that a born again Christian (i.e. one who worships the Word of God) can be a part of these corrupt "ministries" for decades, and not see the problems. I can certainly understand that some Christians, when they are first saved, might fall prey to these false preachers and false prophets because what they say sounds good initially, but if one has the Holy Spirit, they will not remain with them for long because, even though they do not say this overtly, the truth is that they DENY the Word of God as the final authority in all matters of faith and practice.

I will get back to Mark Taylor shortly, but I want to provide examples so readers can understand what I mean when I say that NARs covertly reject the Bible, and so we can better understand the beliefs that Taylor is hiding from his audience. False preacher Bill Johnson of Bethel Church in Redding, California gave his summary of the NAR heresies:
"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]

In order to fully understand the vile heresy that Bill Johnson just spewed out, we need to remember that the NAR consists of people who do NOT hold the doctrines of Scripture as the foundation for faith. In essence, the foundation of their faith is in the charismatic feelings of their leavened preachers (similar to how the father of the Mormon religion, Joseph Smith, said he had a "burning in the bosom"), and the so-called "visions" and "dreams" of their corrupt prophets.
(Read "Corruptions of Christianity: Mormonism" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

NARs claim to believe that the Word of God is a relatively good book, but what they are not as forthcoming to say is that they also believe it is OUTDATED revelation, and that their "new revelations" should be taken with more serious devotion than the doctrines of Scripture. That belief is very similar to that of false prophetess Ellen G. White (found of Seventh-day Adventism), in which she thought that her prophecies should have superior importance to the Bible, and this new-age heresy can be more clearly seen if we examine Bill Johnson's words a little more closely.
(Read Corruptions of Christianity: Seventh-day Adventism here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

Johnson began by stating that denominations were "formed to unite these groups of believers," which is not true. Bill is looking at this completely backwards, but it makes sense for him to say this because he is of the world, and looks it the way the world does. Denominations are completely unbiblical (i.e. in First Corinthians, Paul rebuked that ideology), and though I am not saying there have never been born again Christians involved in a denominational church building, I am saying that the true Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has always stayed away from denominations because they were not established for the church by Christ and His apostles.
(Read "Denominations Are Unbiblical" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

The second important thing to notice about Bill's statement is that he was hyper-focused on UNITY, not on TRUTH. This is why he says that "unity based on common doctrines has a measure of success," because he is trying his best to gently lead people AWAY from the truth of the doctrines of Scripture being the core foundation for the church.

The only way Christians can be united is under the truth of the Word of God, because unity without truth is deception under mob rule. Of course, some may argue that Jesus Christ is the core foundation of the church, and I agree that He is, but we have to remember that Jesus Christ and the truth of His Word are one and the same, meaning that to reject the truth of the God's Word is the same as rejecting Christ Himself:

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 adherance to the doctrines of Scripture is "an inherent problem" because it requires "uniformity," but 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, who has told us that the church SHOULD be uniform:

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

So not only is Bill teaching that which is contrary to Scripture, but he also told us that he is seeking unity, which requires seeking uniformity to a degree because you cannot be united unless it is under a common banner, and therefore, the real question is this: If not the Bible, what banner is Bill Johnson trying to unite everyone under? In contrast, I would ask readers to consider what banner are Christians supposed to be united under? The difference between us Christians and Bill Johnson is that Bill is seeking uniformity under his feelings, his opinions, his dreams, his visions, and in his "new revelations" under his guruship, while we Christians are seeking uniformity under the Gospel of Jesus Christ that has been preserved for us in His Word (specifically in the King James Bible, which I believe is what English-speaking Christians should be studying).
(Read "Why I Use The King James Bible" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

It might be good for me to put this another way because neither we Christians nor those in the NAR have seen the Lord Jesus Christ and spoken to Him in person. Therefore, we are relying on evidence to prove His philosophy (i.e. way of thinking) and doctrine to us, so whereas we Christians rely on the Bible to give us the doctrine of Christ, NARs rely on their own feelings and call that "Christ," or put another way, they believe in the heresy that 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 because if he had simply said that "common belief systems has helped to build unity," and stopped there, then I could have agreed with that depending on the context, but when he adds in "within particular groups," that is where Bill's new-age ideology is revealed.

It is true that people unite under similar belief systems, and there is no need for me to provide examples because this can be clearly demonstrated from all basic walks of life, anywhere from governments to families to friendships. Under those contexts, everything that 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 that tells us the truth (i.e. not A truth, but THE truth), and since there can only be one truth, that means that Christ's true church (once they acknowledge the truth of God's Word) will be automatically united under the truth with understanding, without any need of slick speeches.

So Bill is trying to unite people under "versions" of the truth, or in other words, he is trying to unite people under lies. He wants all those who "feel" like they are of God to be united together, and since most people in this world reject the humility of repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow of wickedness), because they do not want to believe that they have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Rom 3:23), therefore, most people in this world will follow this new-age "Apostolic Reformation" (or any other religious cult that does the same, like Pentecostals, Charismatics, Catholicism, etc) that makes them feel good, feel righteous, and feel holy about themselves and their own works.
(Read There is No Saving Grace Without Repentance here at creationliberty.com for more 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 last paragraph in the above quote is where we need to take a lot of caution and read it carefully when he says, "If the whole group doesn't move in step with what God is saying, there will be a break in fellowship." Of course, this is generally true, just as the devil will give a little bit of truth in what he is saying before he presents a lie.

Bill continues to say, "When agreement in nonessential beliefs are considered necessary for fellowship, then division is natural and to be expected," and that is the key contention because he does not define what "nonessential beliefs" are, only that they exist. Without clearly defined spiritual understanding, through something like the Holy Bible, division is inevitable without a cult leader like Bill Johnson, which leaves us with a choice to follow the Bible's rules, or Bill's rules.

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 know there are matters of minor dispute which are not Biblically sound (i.e. 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." This means that what Bill considers to be "nonessential beliefs" are those things which contradict the "new revelations" he and his associates produce, and that includes the Word of God, or in other words, they will throw out the Bible (or, at least, they will ignore the contradicting verses) if Jesus speaks against their "new revelations."
(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 ends 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," which reveals what he really means. According to the NAR, the "weight of His glory" is NAR revelations from their false prophets and false apostles, which Bill distinguishes apart from "doctrine," and so in the end, NARs believe that the unity of their movement has more spiritual power and wisdom than the Word of the Living God, which contains the doctrines of the Lord Jesus Christ, or in short, NARs believe their false prophecies carry more weight than Christ Himself.

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 promotes), 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 say to yourselves that these people are nut cases, but I disagree. Though I agree they are making crazy statements, the point I want to drive into the minds of readers is that these men are WICKED in their hearts; they are full of sins, and have never come to the humility of repentance so the Lord Jesus Christ would 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

This brings us back to Mark Taylor, who is heavily involved in the New Apostolic Reformation, and he has held these beliefs for a very long time because he followed the false teachings of these false preachers for many years before he ever wrote down his first false prophecy. To put it another way, Taylor's mind was already corrupted long before he started "prophesying" because he trusted in the false, new-age "jesus" of ecumenical cults, and did not first come to godly sorrow of sins to have faith in the Jesus Christ of Scripture.

Taylor released a documentary about himself, and when speaking about children who are trafficked, Taylor presupposes 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]

Please keep in mind that when Taylor says "deliverance," he is not referring to the deliverance of Jesus Christ to save mankind from their sins because he does not care about that. Taylor is referring to doing witchcraft over the children to "deliver" them from their alleged "generational curses" (which he likely believes will be implanted into them by those who traffic them) because he is pushing the corrupt doctrines of the New Apostolic Reformation.

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 witches of "deliverance ministries" so they can learn pagan ideologies.

In the documentary video, Melissa Leggett (who I mentioned earlier in this chapter) was interviewed, and this is the same "deliverance minister" that Taylor promoted in his book. She promoted the same heretical beliefs 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."
-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=2546]

Notice that Melissa says that she BELIEVES that 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 false apostles.

I would agree that God looks at the heart, but the problem with the NARs is that they believe themselves to be righteous and good in their hearts 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, these people believe the feelings of their hearts are the equivalent of the Holy Spirit, but they have never been given the gift of the Holy Spirit for understanding because they do not believe that they need to come to repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow) of their sins. They consider such a message to be "negative," and avoid "negative" 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 the hypocrites, like the NARs, who give lip service to Him when it suits their agenda, but in reality, in their hearts, they could not care less about Him. If they cared about what Jesus Christ had to say, they would make effort to study His Word and abide by His wisdom and understanding.

So Melissa, in her willful blindness, and faith in the feelings of her corrupt heart, goes on to say that God is looking for the righteous heart. This is true, but not in the way that Melissa goes about describing it because the ONLY people in this world who have righteousness are those who have been given the gift of repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and had HIS righteousness imputed to them:

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

A man cannot be righteous of himself because we are corrupt and fallen. The Lord God does NOT need us; it is we who need Him. A man can only be GIVEN righteousness by the grace of Jesus Christ; there is no other way to gain it through works.

And therefore it [faith in the mercy of God] was imputed to him [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])

However, Melissa believes that there are those on the earth who are righteous of heart in themselves, which the Bible does not teach us, and she pushes the fake narrative of an Apostolic utopia. Neither Melissa or Mark heed the warnings that we were given, namely, that we are NOT going to be brought onto television broadcasts and be praised and glorified for so-called "prophetic words" and create a peaceful world ruled by Apostolics, but rather, that evil men and seducers (like NARs) will get worse and worse over time, and that we Christians will suffer 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 many interviews, Taylor has labeled myself (and other Christians) as "doom and gloom" preachers because we don't preach the happy-go-lucky, feel-good message that he wants to hear, which, to me, does not make any sense at all. I am simply preaching what Jesus Christ preached, that we Christians would have eternal life with Him in the peace and joy of Kingdom of God, never again having to feel sorrow or pain, but in this short life, we will suffer much persecution and tribulation because of those who hate us, and Mark Taylor hates that message because he is the stoney-hearted false convert described in the parable of the sower.
(Read "Jesus Said There Are Many False Converts" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

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

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

There are many stoney-hearted false converts in church buildings all over the world, in which they accepted the "love, joy, peace, happiness" message because it makes them feel good. They jumped into it quickly, but when the message of affliction (i.e. grief), persecution, and tribulation comes up, these men (e.g. Mark Taylor) are offended by that message, and will depart from the Word of God to find some other feel-good religion to cling to, and the New Apostolic Reformation has formed a net to capture as many as they can.
 


We have already seen Mark Taylor's failed prophecy about Donald Trump, but as is the case with all false prophets, they do not stop with just one. After all, one cannot be honored as a prophet with just one prophecy; they need to produce more to maintain a following. They need to put out as many so-called "prophecies" as they can, hoping that some stick, hoping that others can be vaguely interpreted to sound true, and hoping that by only highlighting cherry-picked phrases from their prophecies that appear to be "true," their blatantly false prophecies will fade from memory and be lost to time.

As I already covered in the introduction to this book, the Lord God has declared that any man who claims to be a prophet of Him, and gives a prophecy that is proven to be false, that man 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

There have been many instances in which I have heard Taylor warn people about not over analyzing his prophecies, but this is merely an excuse to keep himself from being criticized because he does not want them to use their discernment on him. I have always openly invited people to criticize my writings, and that is just from the perspective of me being a mere man who is capable of error, but Mark Taylor has declared that he is speaking in the name of the Lord God (i.e. "the Spirit of God says"), and if he wants to make that claim, namely, that he is speaking the words of the Almighty God who is incapable of error, then his words should be under as much examination as the Holy Bible itself.

Even Paul in Scripture, who wrote his epistles by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, told the Corinthians to judge what he wrote:

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

As a Christian, you should look into the Scriptures and compare them to what I am saying in this book. If you do not do this, and simply believe what I am telling you without looking into it first, then I would say that you are foolish.

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 that come from the mouths of preachers. It our job to discern whether they be true words, or words of deception that lead people away from the truth of Christ.

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

If you want to look at all of Mark Taylor's prophecies for yourself, you can find them on his website, sordrescue.com. (They were all listed on the front page of his website when I originally wrote this book in 2022.) As I browsed through his prophecies, I found that the Lord Jesus Christ and the Gospel of Salvation was not mentioned one time in ANY of his prophecies.
(See Mark Taylor, The Trump Prophecies Official Website, retrieved Oct 20, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com])

The only mention of Jesus Christ, repentance, and faith in the Son of God, is in Taylor's "Prayer of Repentance" and "Scrambling The Enemies [sic] Radar Prayer" documents, which are prayers, not prophecies, even though they are listed together with his prophecies. As I covered in the previous chapter, Mark Taylor teaches people to pray certain prayers he has written, but that is the practice of vain repetitious prayer, which (as we learned in the previous chapter) Jesus Christ taught us NOT to do.

In all of Taylor's prophecies, you will notice a pattern of focus that was never spoken by the prophets in Scripture, namely, that Taylor's prophecies glorify men. All of his prophecies repeatedly state how wonderful and good Donald Trump is, and how wonderful and good Americans are, which is not only false (because according to Scripture, no man is good, as we established in the last chapter, Rom 3:10-12), but it is also giving God's glory to men, which God specifically stated that 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 looking at a prophecy that Mark Taylor gave, in October of 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 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 hadn 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!"
-Mark Taylor, "Don't be deceived get in the Fight!" Sord Rescue, Oct 13, 2015, retrieved Oct 14, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/10-13-15_dont_be_decieved_get_in_the_fight.pdf]

I can do the same thing by saying, "A warning about Taylor I will preach, if he does not repent of his sins, heaven he will not reach." If I had to give him a title, I would call Mark Taylor the "Dr. Seuss Prophet," not only because of the rhyming, but also because of the childishness.

Any average public school student can write verses in rhyme, and Taylor knows that, for some unknown reason, people tend to foolishly think something has more truth in it if had a poetic cadence. I would challenge readers to show me any place in the Bible where God used childish nursury rhymes to prophesy to the people because, after studying the prophets of Scripture, I already know this is not the way God speaks through His prophets.

This so-called "prophecy" was very strange because Taylor stated that, "Hillary's is no great secret," and contextually, he was referring to her crimes. Not only is this sentence grammatically incorrect (i.e. Taylor wrote about the "crimes" [plural], which means the sentence should read, "Hillary's ARE no great secret"), but it is nonsensical when serving the purpose of a prophecy, meaning that a prophecy is supposed to be foretelling of future events, not hinting at what is claimed to be common knowledge.

In Scrpiture, when the Lord God was rebuking a specific individual, He did not do so in such a vague manner because the Lord God presents evidence to mankind when it comes to His judgments. God called out their crimes in detail, as he did even to King David, when Nathan came to him to expose him for the deeds he had done against Uraiah (i.e. to steal Uraiah's wife Bathsheba), and then God had Nathan list out what specific punishments would come:

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 is it that God can be this specific on what He is going to do, but modern-day prophets cannot? The answer is very simple, namely, that they are false prophets that keep things vague, just as the soothsayers, psychics, astrologers, magicians, tarot readers, palm readers, and mediums, in order to scam people into thinking that what they say is "prophetic" or "spiritual," and Mark Taylor is no exception.

Furthermore, Taylor "prophesies" that many of the crimes of the Clintons are secret, but that is simply not true. In fact, most of the crimes of the Clintons have been known by many for a very long time, but the main problem we have had in the United States is corruption in the Executive and Judicial branches of our government, who have not arrested and prosecuted the criminals, and therefore, this is not prophetic in any sense.

When Taylor said that, "this President and his minions shall try for three," that is a FALSE prophecy. Obama did not try to run for a third term, and 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 anything about that.

Of course, by now, it should be obvious why Taylor never mentioned anything about Hillary running for president in 2016. Mark Taylor is creating these so-called prophecies based on what he is watching in mainstream news, and the mainstream media had not yet determined that Hillary would be the democratic candidate, so Mark kept things vague.

Taylor made the mistake of giving too much detail by saying that, while Obama would run for a third term, "a sign will be, he will try and take the guns." Even though I am certain that Barack Obama would have liked to have passed unconstitutional legislation that banned citizens from owning guns, he did no such thing before he left office, and so we have two solid pieces of evidence to prove this is a false prophecy.

Of course, Taylor and his worshipers will likely claim that Obama is doing things because of a shadow presidency from the behind the scenes. The argument is that Obama is speaking into the earpiece of Joseph Biden, telling him what to do, and therefore (they will claim) that is Obama's third term.

Granted, they may have an unsubstantiated argument IF Mark Taylor had learned to keep his mouth shut, but because Taylor cannot stop talking, he contradicts himself repeatedly. For example, I watched an interview with Taylor in which he correctly talks about Trump desolving the incorporated UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (which he did during his presidency, through a Florida court), which makes Washington D.C. a foreign country that is not part of the real United States of America, and therefore, Joe Biden is the president of nothing.

If Joe Biden is the president of nothing (i.e. he is a "resident" and not a president), then how can this be Obama's third (shadow) presidential term? The reason none of this makes sense is because Mark Taylor wants to have his cake and eat it too, or in other words, he wants to be seen as a prophet while sweeping his false prophecies under the rug.

Taylor wants people to believe that he had some sort of divine revelation about Donald Trump being elected president, but again, I quoted numerous media outlets at the time who were already showing that Donald Trump would be the main candidate for the Republican party. So was this a "prophecy," or just Taylor regurgitating what the mainstream media was telling him with a "divine" spin on it? Furthermore, Trump winning that election was no great surprise to anyone because Hillary Clinton ran on a pathetic campaign that was so ridiculous, it was only the propaganda arm of the mainstream media that kept her in the race.

For example, most readers probably have no idea what campaign slogan that Hillary Clinton used during the 2016 presidential race. Her slogan said, "Love Trumps Hate," and that is a result of being forced to hire a campaign staff full employees that have leftist, woke ideology.


Even someone like me, who has no advertising experience, political or otherwise, can easily see how stupid this is because, first of all, it has Donald Trump's name in it! Furthermore, the word "love" is in red, which is the color of the Republican party, and "hate" is in blue, which is the color of the Democratic party, which means that either Clinton hired the most incompetent people in America, or she was somehow blackmailed into running on this slogan.

It is even more ridiculous that Mark Taylor says that the White House in Washington D.C. is "God's House." (i.e. "The Spirit of God says... MY WHITE HOUSE!") I would again challenge Christian readers to go through the Bible and find any place where God declared that any structure was His, unless He first dictated its construction in the Bible, and the only place I know of where that ever happened was with Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem (which He later decreed to be destroyed); so aside from that, there is no house (made by the hands of men) that God has ever declared is 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.)

Also remember that, in chapter two, we covered Taylor's 2011 prophecy, which said that Trump would win the election in a "clean sweep," which did not happen. Again, Taylor has given false prophecy after false prophecy, but he tries his best to keep the public from looking this closely at them, and threatens anyone with curses from God if they dare to question the "holy sacred cow" known as "Shakina Kami."

I will defend one thing Mark Taylor said, that there are many people who go around and call him a false prophet because Taylor gives his opinion about what he thinks will happen on certain subjects in the near future. For example, Taylor stated (in a separate interview) that his opinion and his prophecies are two different things:
"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]

Even though I think he is exaggerating when he says that he "tries" to separate the two, it is fair and right that we ought to distinguish the difference between a man's opinion versus a man speaking in the name of the Lord. It is a very weak and fallacious argument to accuse a man of being a false prophet just because he expresses an opinion, guess, or feeling about a subject.

However, Mark Taylor is notorious for blending his opinion together with his prophecies, and that is where a lot of his audience's confusion comes from. I find it fascinating that Taylor warns people not to take his opinion as Gospel, but then turns around and threatens anyone with curses from God if they put his prophecies under discerning scrutiny, or in other words, Taylor does NOT want ANYONE to scrutinize his opinions NOR his prophecies, and that is a major warning sign of a religious cult leader.

We Christians are all called to judge righteous judgment, which means we are to take in information, discern between what is true and what is false, and then expose what is false, while preaching 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 give an example of Taylor mixing his opinions with his prophecies, during a 2018 interview, right before the U.S. midterm elections (which determines many seats in Congress for both Senators and House of Representatives), Taylor said he predicted there would be a "red tsunami," which he explained was a massive flip of seats in Congress 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 just said, it is false accusation to accuse a man of being a false prophet when he is only expressing his opinions. However, the problem with Taylor is that he does not know when to keep his mouth shut (i.e. he talks a lot, and speaks very quickly, which the Bible calls being rash with one's mouth, Ecc 5:2), and he is always trying to promote himself as a prophet, so he ends up connecting his opinion to a prophecy that he wrote, which is what he goes on to do in this 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', 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]

So now we have a problem because, at first, this was just Mark Taylor giving his opinion about what he thought would happen on and after the midterm elections of 2018, but now we have him on record connecting the outcome of the 2018 midterm elections (and the Presidential election of 2020) to his 2015 prophecy called "America, America." Before we analyze anything else, let's take a quick look at the section of that prophecy he just referred to:
"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 Oct 18, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/10-7-15_america_america.pdf]

The first problem I discovered when I cross-referenced Taylor's "America, America" prophecy to his statement in the interview is that nowhere in the prophecy does it state that America would receive back "seven fold." I am left wondering where Taylor pulled that information from because he gave no other details in the interview, nor does his prophecy even hint to a "seven fold" return.

This is important because, again, Taylor claims (as he does in many interviews) that this is God speaking. If Taylor wants to claim that his opinion is separate from his prophecies, he should have kept his "seven fold" opinion out of the interpretation, but since he chose to include that, we have left the realm of opinion and now he is speaking prophetically.

The second problem I noticed was that he said that the next Presidential election for Donald Trump (i.e. 2020) was going to be a "blowout." Now, taking into consideration the election fraud that took place in 2020, I think it was a blowout for Trump, but the problem is that Taylor did NOT prophesy that there would be a bunch of election fraud, and Trump's second term would be temporarily stolen from him; rather, he said that Trump was going to get a second term, and contextually, he meant that was to happen in the 2020 election because, in the interview, he was referencing to all the things Trump had done with the ecomony at that time, specifically pointing out that the American people were with Trump because of the economic benefits, which means he was predicting (through his prophetic interpretation) Trump to win in a landslide in 2020.

The third thing I noticed was that, if anyone knew about Donald Trump's business history, it was not "prophetic" that the economy would drastically improve under his leadership. Trump has been a well-known billionaire for decades, many people already wanted him to run for POTUS, and he had many interviews in which he was asked about potentially running for president, even back in the early 90s, so this is not some great prophecy of unknown information, it is simply Mark Taylor's poetic spin on already existing information.

If we continue to read 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 Dec 8, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/10-7-15_america_america.pdf]

My wife and I stay away from mainstream news (and mainstream media in general) because we do not want to hear all the propaganda and advertising, and because of that, I had no idea who "El-Chappo" was. I had never heard of him before, so I looked up some information and read about him a bit.

The first thing I noticed was that Taylor wrote "El-Chappo," when it should be written "El Chapo," with one 'P' and no hyphen. He is a Mexican drug kingpin (overseeing massive trafficking of cocaine, heroin, marijuana, and methamphetamines) whose real name is Joaquin Guzmán, but was commonly known by the nickname "El Chapo," which translates to English as "The Shorty" to reflect Guzmán's below average height.

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

As can be seen from nearly all false prophets, they base their so-called "prophecies" on news at the time, and therefore, it should be no surprise to learn that the news of El Chapo's escape was broadcast in July of 2015, less than three months before Taylor wrote his prophecy. In the following months, news sources around the world reported that Mexico officials were on the hunt for El Chapo's affiliates, that they had arrested the prison chiefs involved with El Chapo's escape, and less than three weeks before Taylor's so-called "prophecy," the Mexican federal prosecutor's office reported that they had captured and imprisoned at least 13 of El Chapo's drug lords, meaning that they were cutting off his resrouces and closing in on him at the time.
(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])

Tension was high, and news sources were reporting that Mexico refused to extradite El Chapo at the U.S. government's requests at the time. Try to consider that a high-profile criminal escaped twice from under Mexico's highest federal watch, and that was a major embarrassment to the Mexican government, making them a laughingstock around the world, and so they were out to get Guzmán, dead or alive.

This triggered Mark Taylor to ASSUME that El Chapo would be shot dead, having his "dead body" displayed in "a very public death for the entire world to see," and that he would have a "red shirt," which is likely meant to be filled with blood from all the bullet wounds. A few months later (in January), there was a shoot-out between Mexican authorities and El Chapo, but he was not shot dead as Taylor said God was going to do, even though El Chapo never repented of his sins.

Mexican authorities managed to recapture El Chapo alive, they decided it was best to hand him over to U.S. authorities, and he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. He is currently serving out his sentence in 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 red blood as he heavily implied.

The purpose of all this was to demonstrate that Taylor's "America, America" prophecy is falsified, but he used it to deceive his audience into thinkin he was a real prophet during the interview. Getting back to the context of the aforementioned interview, the discussion was about the 2018 midterm elections, because they were about to take place just a few weeks after the day of Taylor's interview, and Taylor was connecting the midterm elections back to his prophecies (which, unbenownst to his audience, were failed prophecies).

Journalist Kyle Mantyla of Right Wing Watch (which is a liberal, left-wing organization, but in this case, they accurately documented quotes from Taylor's videos, which are no longer available and Taylor has not reuploaded) kept track of many of the false prophets who predicted this "red tsunami" for the 2018 midterm elections. For example, Sheila Zilinsky, Leigh Valentine, Christopher MacDonald, and Mark Taylor, just to name a few.) Today, most of these people have taken down their posts and videos in embarrassment concerning their "prophecies" about the 2018 midterms being a "red tsunami," trying to cover up their lies so no one will discern the scam, but Taylor is one of the few who still tries to justify what he said, despite the fact that he was proven wrong.

I can already tell you what Taylor is planning on doing because Taylor follows the Q movement, which are those who study the Q classified intel 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 believe that Q is legitimate or not is irrelevant to understand what I am about to show you, but just so I am forthcoming with my position after doing a lot of research, currently (as of 2022) I believe that Q is legitimate military intelligence. I do not agree with everything that is said and done by Q, nor Q's followers, nor am I part of some "QAnon" conspiracy, namely, because QAnon does not exist. (i.e. The concept of a "QAnon" group was created by the fake news media; there is only Q, and Anons, but no "QAnon.") You do not have to agree with me on any that, but I want readers to know that is my position on it so it will help you understand that, because I have studied some of the Q drops, I can more easily expose what Taylor is trying to do.

Remember that we have already established that Mark Taylor writes his so-called "prophecies" in the same way that many other pagan diviners do, which is to watch the mainstream media news, and then create positive, feel-good "prophecies" based on that information. When the Q drops started coming in, Taylor (as well as other fake prophets and fake "spiritual healers," like Dave Hayes [a.k.a. "Praying Medic"], for example), found a source of inside information from which they could start to write generalized "prophecies" that would appear to come from God, even though it was coming 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."

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

So to create an analogy, let's suppose I had been given inside information that a vote was going to be passed in federal legislation to subsidize (i.e. financially support) corn production and sales. With that insider knowledge, I could "prophesy" that the Lord gave me a vision that He would bless the corn of America, so over the next couple of years, as corn production and profits went up, churchgoers would see me as a legitimate "prophet," even though all I did was repeat private knowledge that I had learned about ahead of time from insider sources.

Because a lot of churchgoers are what the Bible calls "simple-minded," meaning that they believe what they are told and do not do their research to find the facts, they cannot (and often, do no want to) see the scam.

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 ever posted was on October 28, 2017, and Q began to post many things that hinted at information that would only be available to the highest levels of classified goverment/military clearance. So, Mark Taylor (and other false prophets) saw an opportunity to create a following by using military intelligence (that not too many people followed at the time) to create "prophecies" that would make themselves appear divinely inspired.

If we go back to Q post #2287, which was published on Sept 27, 2018, it says:
"RED OCTOBER>>> MIDTERM ELECTIONS RED WAVE OR RED TSUNAMI? FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT! Q"
-Q Drop #2287, Sept 27, 2018, retrieved Oct 19, 2022, [https://qagg.news/siteimages/qaggdropimage2287.png]

This Q post was made just before Mark Taylor's interview, in which he said, "the midterms, I believe, is going to be a red tsunami. It's not going to be a red wave." It should now be clear for readers to see the game that Taylor is playing, namely, he is capitalizing on media and other insider information in order to create "prophecies," which will allow him to receive great honors from religious leaders in the media, which will then grant him the prestige of religious cult followers.

Today, we know that Q was not referring to the midterm elections of that year, and that much of what he posted was cryptic in the sense that pieces of information were dropped in non-sequential order. This was due to the fact, as Q told us at the beginning, that the Q posts were being carefully monitored by America's enemies (which means some of the information Q provided was only to distract the enemy), but Mark Taylor did not take that into consideration, and jumped to conclusions because he wanted to be viewed as a divine prophet.

For example, Taylor takes credit for prophesying "mass arrests," but he is parroting the 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."

"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 go into the details of what all this means, but readers should note that John Podesta has served as White House Chief of Staff for the Clintons, Presidential Counsel for the Obamas, and Senior Advisor for the Bidens. There is a large amount of evidence that Podesta has been involved in pedophilia and child sex trafficking for a long time, which is likely one of the major contributing factors as to why he has been in such a high ranking position among such 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?"

A few days later:

There are many more Q drops that allude to mass arrests that are coming in the future. Taylor is studying the Q drops (or, at the very least, he is listening to those who do), and then repeating certain phrases that are common in the Q movement, which is why it is easy for someone like me to figure out what he is doing. The main point I want readers to take away from this is that Taylor DECEIVES his audience because he knows full-well that when he tells them that he is asked about his prophecies and says that he has been talking about "mass arrests" for years (which is not any miraculous or extraordinary knowledge), once those arrests of high level officials begins, he thinks he will come out looking like a genuine prophet so he can reap the praise and glory he seeks.

For example, during an interview, Taylor was speaking of his prophecy about the Supreme Court of the United States (which is another failed prophecy I will go over later in this chapter), and that he got "flak" (referring to angry resistence) for it, then he connected that thought to other "prophecies" he gave concerning what Q already told us:
"[@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, claming that he prophesied they would happen. Taylor is literally scamming his audience into thinking that he heard these things from God, but in reality, he is simply repeating concepts coming from the encrypted forum (i.e. 4chan/8kun) where this information was first published by Q.

So knowing his pattern of "prophesying," it is not hard to figure out what Taylor will do next. I am first writing this paragraph in October of 2022, just before the midterm elections, and we have a big red wave that is coming for his midterm election now that the Bidens, Clintons, Obamas, Pelosis, the DNC (Democratic National Convention, and their allies, like Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and Transgender activists), Big Tech, and the mainstream media have led Americans down a path of rapid decline, both morally and financially (e.g. spiking gas prices, food prices, shortages, housing market crash, inflation, etc), to the point that most Americans have had enough.

I suspect that Taylor is going to say that his "prophecies" about the "red tsunami" were not about the 2018 elections (as he previously stated they were), or rather, he will say that his personal interpretation was off a few years. This is the same thing that he did with his Trump prophecy that was proven false, and it is what all false prophets do, namely, once their prophecy is proven wrong, they try to attribute it to some other future event that looks more convincing. (We will have to wait and see.)

However, after the initial failure of his prophecy in 2018, Taylor went on another interview to justify what he said by claiming:
"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]

I do not know what to label what Taylor just said other than a bold-faced lie because it was the (blue) Democrats who picked up more seats in the 2018 midterms, not the (red) Republicans. The Republican party picked up two Senate seats that year, but the Democrats picked up 40 House seats, and in governorships, the Democrats flipped Maine, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, New Mexico, and Nevada (the Republicans only gained ONE governor, not six), which was MUCH more like a blue wave rather than a red wave, let alone a "red tsunami," which obviously did not happen.

(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 read just a bit more from Taylor's interview so we can get a clear picture of just how much he tries 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)

It is amazing to watch Mark Taylor, who believes that definitions are divinely inspired (as we saw in the first chapter of this book), backtrack on what he said about the red tsunami (because he used his fingers to make air quotes around "red tsunami," insinuating that his words were not what people took it to mean), and then, in real time, justify that the red tsunami actually happened, when it clearly did not. When someone says "red wave," it means that there would be a wave of red votes sweeping across the nation, but a red tsunami would be a massive amount of red votes that would far surpass a normal wave because tsunamis are much bigger.

And yet, in another interview, Taylor hypocritically condemns others for telling lies:
"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 that is the condition of the church, then you are in a fake church, and Taylor is definitely part of the fake Apostolic cult, as we covered in the last chapter. That is the condition of Mark Taylor and his religious cultists who worship him; namely, that Taylor spews out lies "without any evidence whatsoever" in which he is "just making stuff up," and then he expects his listeners to jump on his "bandwagon."

In short, Mark Taylor is a scam artist. His excuses (and doubling-down on his lies) are unsurprising when you look at the history of false prophets, everyone from Ellen G. White to David Karesh to Kim Clement; Taylor is doing exactly what false prophets have always done.
(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 is going to "neuter" Obama.

We can see a bit of Taylor's new-age religious beliefs pouring out of his words because it is ridiculous to think that Obama was (or is) the source of all "evil and corrupt ideologies and theologies." That is simply not true. (Case in point: Mark Taylor.) One might argue that Taylor did not say it was, but that is the logical conclusion because he said that by removing Obama, those "evil and corrupt ideologies and theologies" would "no longer reproduce in this country," which is absurd on so many levels because corrupt ideologies and theologies exist all over the place, not just in America, but around the world, even in the majority of so-called "Christian" groups and institutions, which is why I have to write books like this in the first place.

According to Taylor's prophecy, Obama was supposed to "lose his grip" and "be stripped of" the title of President of the United States, and furthermore, he told us that God said He would "rip it from him." To hold onto something tightly like that, it means that Obama would have been clinging as hard as he could to keep his presidency. However, Obama served out two terms (i.e. a full 8 years) as POTUS, and did not run for a third term, which means he did not lose grip of it, it was not stripped from him, nor did God ever rip it from him, which, once again, proves that 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 should first be noted that "the Luciferian reign and ungodly powers" will NOT end with Donald Trump, and this shows us Mark Taylor's worship of Trump as a spiritual messiah. The only time in which Luciferian and evil powers will come to an end is when the Lord Jesus Christ returns to rapture the saints and the wrath of God pours out into this world, and described in Revelation, chapters seven through nine.
(Read "The Beginner's Guide to Christian Rapture" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

When Taylor says "the so called great monument," he is referring to the Washington Monument in D.C. (as he has clarified in other interviews), and no lightning strikes were reported after Donald Trump was elected POTUS in 2016, nor were there any major earthquakes. There was a lightning strike at the Washington Monument, but that was reported in August of 2021, five years later, and it took no damage because there are two lightning rods on top that protect from lightning strikes, which means this was NOT a "sign" of a Trump election, and once again proves that 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])

False prophets often get themselves into trouble when they say there will be a sign. They talk too much and give too many details, which makes it easy for us to prove them false, and of course, Taylor goes on to predict more:
"'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 of the Washington Monument would fall off and shatter on the ground. I am writing this paragraph almost six years after Trump was elected POTUS, and the Washington Monument capstone is still intact, nor was it damaged by anything after he was elected POTUS, proving again that Mark Taylor is a false prophet.

So knowing that what he predicted did not happen, in his self-documentary, Taylor tries to slyly cover up what he 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, 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."

Did you catch the sleight-of-hand trick that Taylor just pulled? He wrote a prophecy that the capstone to the Washington Monument would completely fall off and be destroyed (which did not happen), he said it would be done by "a lightning strike and a great wind" (which did not happen), and it was supposed to be after Trump got elected POTUS, so why did he refer to an earthquake (not a great wind) that took place 5 years BEFORE Trump got elected?

Mark Taylor knows what he is doing, and I am convinced he knows he is a liar. He knows his prophecy failed, and so instead of telling the truth, he offers a distraction about an earthquake, which he never prophesied would happen, at a different time than he originally prophesied, and then told people to go do their own research, which, if they were not so lazy and actually did it, they would quickly be able to falsify Taylor's prophecies.

To be clear, I am not advocating on behalf of the Washington Monument because it is a disgusting pagan and Freemason symbol. It would take too long in this book to explain the fullness of it, but in short, it is a sexual phallic symbol set atop a vaginal symbol (which can only be seen clearly from an overhead view), and I talk more about that in an article I have here at creationliberty.com called "Christian Symbols Are Not Christian."


The earthquake Taylor was referring to (which he said was "right around [when] the Trump prophecy was written," e.g. Apr 28, 2011) took place on Aug 23, 2011 (four month later), in Mineral, Virginia (about 80 miles southwest of Washington D.C.) and lasted about 30 seconds. It caused around $200 million in damages across a wide area, and damaged some structures in D.C., the Washington Monument included.
(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 elevator inside the Washington Monument was closed to visitors for the next three years while they repaired the damage, improved structural integrity, and ensured safety. However, the capstone did not move, and even if it had toppled and shattered on the ground, it would have made no difference because Taylor said it was supposed to happen by a lightning strike and great wind AFTER Trump got elected, proving once again that Mark Taylor is a false prophet.

As I was listening to various interviews with Taylor, I came across this quote on the Supreme Court of the United States (SCOTUS), which peaked my interest:
"[@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]

I am going to explains some details about all this, but REMEMBER that Mark Taylor prophesied that once these (at minimum) FIVE Supreme Court justices were removed and replaced by Trump, only THEN would Roe vs Wade be overturned. As I am writing this in the fall of 2022, this past summer, Roe vs Wade was overturned, so that leaves us with the obvious question: Did it happen as Taylor foretold?

I had some trouble finding precisely where Taylor prophesied all this, but it seems to come from a combination of cherry-picked phrases in various prophecies listed on his website. For example, in "America, America," he says:
"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 Nov 11, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/10-7-15_america_america.pdf]

This was fascinating to me because Taylor first prophesied that the Supreme Court would lose three justices, and Trump would appoint three more, but just four months later (in Feb of 2016), he gave another prophecy in which he said it would be five justices that Trump would appoint 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, "America, America," Sord Rescue, Feb 24, 2016, retrieved Nov 11, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/02-24-16_do_not_fear_america.pdf]

I do not know what "god" that Mark Taylor worships, but the Christian God of the Bible does not have to backtrack on his prophecy. The Christian God of the Bible would give the number the first time, and not have to guess around at things and change it every few months.

I would also ask the Dr. Suess prophet where it was that God declared that the Supreme Court was HIS court because, as far as I am aware, God's court is in heaven, not on earth. One might argue from Romans 13 that governments are established by the Lord, but then that means that EVERY court is God's court, which makes the words of the prophecy pointlessly redundant.

Another problem with this "prophecy" is that appointing a man to an office is not a miracle because that is a natural process. A miracle is something that goes outside the realm of the laws of man and nature, so it is not a "miracle" for a judge to be appointed to a court, anymore than it is a "miracle" to adopt a pet or join a swimming team.

The nine SCOTUS justices in 2015 were John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Ruth Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayer, and Elena Kagan. It should be noted that Taylor's second prophecy (about Trump appointing five SCOTUS justices) was written on Feb 24, 2016, just eleven days AFTER Justice Scalia died at the age of 79, but in his interviews, Taylor tries to make it seem like he "prophesied" that this would happen.

Taylor prophesied that "one was going to die," which, first of all, is not a prophecy. Everyone is going to die eventually, so does my saying that make me a prophet?

Secondly, in 2015, a number of SCOTUS justices were in their 80s, and so it is not some leap of logic to say that, soon after, some would die, and some would retire. In 2015, Ruth Ginsburg was 82, Anthony Kennedy was was 79, Stephen Breyer was 77, and so a 10-year-old can probably figure out that some of these people are going to retire and/or die over the next few years.

The third thing I want to point out is that Taylor prophesied that "one was going to die," but it turns out that two actually died while still in office. As I just mentioned, Justice Scalia died in 2016, and then Ruth Ginsburg died in 2020, and both seats were replaced by the Trump administration, so why did Taylor not prophesy that two were going to die? (Hint: Taylor is a false prophet.)

If Taylor had just given his first prophecy and shut his mouth, he might have gained a little credibility because he said that Trump would appoint three SCOTUS justices. However, Taylor changed his prophecy in 2016 after Scalia died because he was getting new information from the media sources he was listening to at the time, and his opinion was that more justices would have to be changed before Roe vs Wade would get overturned.


It is also not any great surprise that there would be SCOTUS justices caught up in scandals because it is already well-known that there are scandals going on behind the scenes from some of the judges. For example, leftist Democrat judge Kentanji Jackson (who was appointed by Biden, and who Taylor failed to prophecy would be appointed) was revealed to have given lighter sentences to sex criminals, specifically pedophiles, and there is substantial evidence that John Roberts (who, as of 2022, is Chief Justice) traveled on pedophile Jeffrey Epstein's plane and vacationed on Epstein's island, which is commonly referred to as "pedophile island" for obvious reasons.

Again, does my saying these things make me a prophet? Or does it make me informed? So when a SCOTUS judge gets caught up in a scandal, the uninfromed churchgoers who are shown the "prophecy" of Mark Taylor will begin to believe he is a true prophet, simply because he had ordinary knowledge that they did not have at the time, but they end up believing it is "divine" because Taylor said it was.

It gets much worse than this because, if you listen to the entire interview (where I got the above quote), Taylor adds a stipulation for his listeners to just believe what he says, even if they do not find any evidence for it. He told them that if they do not find any evidence of a scandal, they should just believe there was a scandal anyway, and he knows this is insurance to keep anyone from labeling him a false prophet, but anyone who has understanding knows that this is one of the major signs of a religious cult guru (i.e. no one can question him, and everything he says must be accepted as true, even without evidence).

Some cult worshipers of Taylor might argue that he prophesied that Trump would appoint five justices, and that had nothing to do with Roe v Wade being taken down, but that is NOT what Taylor said, so let's read it one more time from his interview:
"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 prophesied three, then five, then said in an interview that he is not sure he believes his own prophecy of five, but perhaps six. He said that 5-6 members of the Supreme Court were to be replaced, and then said that would be what "reforms the court," or in other words, the prophecy of court reformation was defined by Taylor as five or six members of the Supreme Court being replaced.

At that point, he said, "Roe vs Wade will be taken down." There had only been THREE SCOTUS justices appointed when Roe vs Wade was taken down, proving once again that Mark Taylor is a FALSE prophet.

One of the primary tricks of false prophets is to ALWAYS speak a "word from the Lord" that is positive and feels good to the audience. (e.g. Supreme Court will overturn Woe vs Wade, Trump will destroy Luciferians, there will be a tsnuami of Republican voters, etc.) You will notice that false prophets NEVER speak a negative thing (like rebuke, reproof, or correction) to their listening audience; rather, rebuke in their so-called "prophecies" is only spoken to those who are the enemies of their listening audience.

The true prophets of God in Scripture always spoke rebuke, correction, and instruction in righteousness to their own people, which means they spoke those things to their own countrymen. This is why Jesus said that true prophets are dishonored and rejected in their own country:

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

Rebuke and correction were always key parts of the prophecies God preserved for us in Scripture, and specific conditions were supposed be met before God would send His blessings on them. That is why the true prophets of God were not honored by heads of state, weathy men, or modern-day talk show hosts.

Parents who love their children will discipline them, meaning that they will do things that are viewed as unfavorable to the children in order to chasten them. Likewise, Jesus explained to us in Revelation 3 that He chastens those who He loves, and this is a very key point to consider when looking at false prophets:

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

The purpose of the prophet is to bring God's chastening to the people, but false prophets know that such a message is not financially profitable, nor does it earn them respect and honor. Therefore, they do not want to share the message of chastening because it does not benefit themselves to do so, and this is one of the ways we can discern 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

In summary, Taylor's prophecies are false because they contain no rebuke and chastening. They ONLY contain condemnation of Taylor's enemies, and those of his focal audience, and you will notice this same pattern repeated with all false prophets, as well as mediums, psyhics, soothsayers, and other such entities involving witchcraft.

I thought it fitting to end this chapter with a quote from Mark Taylor, in which he unknowingly condemned himself. Mark was pointing out people who lied, specifically those who claimed that he had bashed Trump publicly, to which Taylor denied the accusations, and then he said:
"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]

Ladies and gentlemen, Mark Taylor has advised you that if someone is going to make false statements publicly, that we should ignore everything else that person says. Therefore, if we take the advice of Taylor, after examining his lies and false prophecies, we should disregard anything else he says.

However, for hardcore worshipers of Taylor, I am certain that will not be enough to keep them from metaphorically burning incense in his name. One of the main reasons for this is because they believe I am in violation of God's Word and under a curse for daring to write this book, and so let's address their argument...
 


When speaking to the worshipers of false prophets (e.g. Mark Taylor, Kim Clement, Julie Green, etc), there is a common argument that is made among them, and they learned this argument from these false prophets. I am sure many of these false prophets thought this sounded like a good argument, and (of course) it serves their purpose to deceive people into thinking that their so-called "prophecies" cannot be proven false, but with thorough study of the Scriptures, we can expose their fallacy.

For example, Taylor writes the following in his book, and keep in mind that this is a cookie-cutter argument, that is said in almost the exact same way, no matter which false prophet you hear it from:
"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 will then quote from Jonah 3, typically verses 3-10:

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 told Nineveh that they would be destroyed in forty days, and yet, He did not destroy them. So they claim that since God does not change, and it is only mankind who changes, therefore, whether prophecies are fulfilled or not is based on whether or not mankind does what God wants them to do.

As I will demonstrate momentarily, this is a fallacious argument, and it contradicts other verses of Scripture. The purpose of this fallacy is to give the worshipers of false prophets an excuse to continue to believe in the fables of corrupt men, when their beloved fake prophets are proven to have given false prophecies.

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

When the Bible says that false teachers will scratch their itching ears, it is the same as scratching the itching ears of a dog. It is a saying similar to pouring honey in one's ear, meaning that the hearer only wants to hear sweet things that make them feel good. The message being preached by false prophets feels good to the hearers who hate the truth, and they will fight to defend a lie, rather than have to face sound doctrine that rebuke them for 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

To be fair, on the surface, it does seem to be a contradiction. How can God not change, but then alter the course of action which He said He would do? Would it not be a lie to say He would destroy a people and then not do it?

To fully understand what is taking place, we need to first ask another question: Why did God give Nineveh 40 days? Why not just destroy them immediately? If we are going to go that far, let's go one step further and ask: Why did God send Jonah at all?

If the Lord God purposes Himself to destroy a nation, there will be no stopping that nation from being wiped off the face of the earth. God is the Judge over all mankind, and He issues punishments according to His own good will, and as ignorant, weak and corrupt men (as we all are), we have no right or business criticizing what He chooses to do. However, we also need to remember that He gave other prophets information about Himself that we need to know, and in this context, we need to remember that the Lord God hates the death of wicked men:

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

From our perspective, we want wicked people, like Hillary Clinton for example, to be tried in a court of law, found guilty, and publicly executed for her crimes. There are many people around the world would be pleased to see that happen, and I confess that I would also like to see that justice done. However, we need to understand that after this life comes judgment, and after judgment comes eternity in hell and (later) the lake of fire, where the suffering lasts forever.
(Read "Hell is Real And Many People Are Going There" here at creationliberty.com for more 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 not going to be a fun time when angels throw Hillary Clinton into the lake of fire because that is burning and suffering without end. There are no centuries or even eons (which are supposed to be immeasurable amounts of time) because there is no time; it is only endless suffering forever and ever. I would rather would rather Hillary Clinton fall to her knees in repentance of her sin and seek the Lord Jesus Christ for mercy, and I would prefer this only because the Lord God put it in me to prefer that, since He is merciful and has changed me to be merciful as well, but if she will not do this, her fate is a torment like no other we could imagine.

We need to remember that we are ALL deserving of the same punishment that Hillary Clinton would receive after death, but Lord God is kind and merciful in nature, which is why 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

In fact, He is so much more kind than any man, to the point that He did what no other man would do, that is, to give up His own Son to save wicked men.

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

Therefore, the purpose of the prophet Jonah, and the purpose of all prophets, is to bring the message of rebuke, correction, and instruction unto righteousness, that the people might be grieved of their sins (i.e. repentance) and turn from them. The word 'god' means "judge," and therefore the name of God means He is THE Judge, who must see that justice is done, but because He is a judge of great mercy, He will grant mercy to those who come to repentance because He grieves (i.e. repents) at the thought of bringing punishment down upon those who are grieving (i.e. repenting) of their sins. (i.e. "God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not")

There are so many willingly blind churchgoers following after false preachers and false prophets, endlessly seeking a feel-good message to scratch their itching ears, they can no longer understand the purpose of a prophet. Prophets are not there to foretell future events to impress a crowd. God did not send His prophets to us to make us feel good, but to bring us to repentance of our wrongdoing, to correct us unto the path of goodness and truth, that He may then show His mercy and kindness to us.

Churchgoers (i.e. false converts) prefer to follow after fluffy, feel-good prophecies, even when they are proven wrong, because they WANT to believe them, and they could not care less if the prophecies are true or not. In their hearts, they hate the Lord God and the Lord Jesus Christ, and turn from Him unto the messages that give them a temporary, instantly gratifying and pleasant feeling.

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

Therefore, these false converts, who worship at the feet of false prophets, use what I call the "Nineveh fallacy" to deceive people into thinking their prophecies are true, even when they are overtly proven false. They are willingly ignorant of the fact that God said, through His prophets in Scripture, that the punishments which He prophesies against nations is contigient upon whether or not the people turn 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, whenever I share information about the false prophecies of Kim Clement on social media, I occasionally have his followers try to justify him with the Nineveh fallacy, however, the subject matter by which they do this is fascinating. I will show them a video of Clement prophecying that Barack Obama (one of, if not THE worst presidents the U.S. has ever seen) would receive the Holy Spirit in the summer of 2010, and as a result, he would change all his presidential policies to richly bless Americans (which 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])

Clement worshipers argue the Nineveh fallcy by saying that Obama turned away from the Lord, so the prophecy was not fulfilled, but I would pose a counter-argument by a simple question: If God wanted to richly bless Americans, why is that contengient upon the decisions of one man, whether or not he accepts Clement's prophecy?

More importantly, Clement NEVER prophesied that Obama or America should repent and turn from their sins, and that is a key factor to whether or not God has mercy on them. This demonstrates clearly that the Nineveh fallacy is used by idolatrous churchgoers (who worship false prophets) as a buffer to keep their cult leaders from being exposed as false prophets, and by extension, will keep themselves from being exposed as liars who promote and worship corrupt men.

What these churchgoers are willingly ignorant of is that the Nineveh fallacy ELIMINATES the capability to prove ANY prophet is false. If a prophecy's fulfillment balanced on a tightrope of whether or not a man chose to fulfill the prophecy, it means that NO prophecy could be disproven.

I know Taylor and his worshipers would love that to be case, so he could never be proven wrong, but that directly contradicts the Scripture I 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

So when a prophet speaks something in the name of the Lord (e.g. Taylor writes, "The Spirit of God says"), and that thing does not follow, meaning that the time frame in which they gave the prophecy is not fulfilled, or if that thing does not come to pass (i.e. the details of it did not happen as written), then the prophet should be concluded to be false. In order to do this as the Lord God instructed in the Bible, you must be able to look at the details of a man's prophecies, and compare them to the objective evidence, to prove them true or false.

The fulfillment of God's commandments requires objective analysis of evidence.

So Mark Taylor quoted Jonah 3:3-10, just as other false prophets do, and even goes one step further to quote from Jeremiah 18, as we read earlier in this chapter. Taylor follows all of this with a section in his chapter he entitled, "Why All This Didn't Happen in 2012," and he is referring to his 2011 prophecy that Donald Trump would be elected in 2012.
-Mark Taylor & Mary Colbert, The Trump Prophecies, Defender, 2017, p. 127, ISBN: 9780998142678

I found this fascinating because, if you remember from the first chapter of this book, Taylor said, "I thought it might it might have been for 2012, but it was actually for 2016." In chapter two, I proved that Taylor's prophecy was not for 2016, rather, it was for 2012, but if Taylor truly believes it was a prophecy for 2016, why did he include a section in his book called "Why All This Didn't Happen in 2012?"

Either Mark Taylor believes his prophecy was for 2016, or he does not. The only reason you would include a section of his book to give excuses as to why his prophecy (which was meant for 2012) did not come to pass, was if he knows that people who read his prophecies carefully will discover he is false, and therefore, he needed insurance so people would believe him.

Without getting into too many details that we have already covered, Taylor, in his book, goes on to try and justify his divination, specifically his "great horse" divination. As surprising as that may sound, Taylor claims he had another prophecy explaining why the first prophecy 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

Again, Mark Taylor (in his book) prefaced this with Jonah 3 and Jeremiah 18 (see above) in an embarrassingly ridiculous attempt to justify his horse divination. It is so unbelievably absurd, I have a hard time trying to put this into words. This is Taylor's pathetic attempt to get people to believe that the prophets of the Old Testament, like Jonah and Jeremiah, are the same as pagan diviners like Mark Taylor, and I want readers to keep in mind that MANY false prophets do the same things.

In Jeremiah 18, God said specifically that a nation that repents (i.e. comes to godly sorrow of their wrongdoing), and turns from the evil that they do, He will have mercy on them and not bring punishment that may have been prophesied, but if they continue in their evil without repentance, then he will not do good unto them even if it was prophesied. For the next few pages, Taylor made the excuse about why his prophecy did not come true, but he did not mentioned the repentance of the people to turn from their evil ways; he only said that his prophecy was "delayed" because they were not looking at a horse.

This is not a joke or exaggeration of any kind. Some readres may think that what I just said could not be true because it is so absurd, but read it yourself from his own so-called 'prophecy', which Taylor documented in his book:
"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 wants people to believe that God put a secret message into a Kentucky derby horse's name, that (apparently) only Mark Taylor could interpret, and then accused them of fault for NOT recognizing it. Please understand that, at the time, almost no one had ever heard of Mark Taylor, so how exactly were they expected to "recognize" the sign? Where in the Bible did Jesus instruct Christians to keep a vigilant eye on the Kentucky derby at all times, just in case God decided to drop a precoded hint somewhere?

So Taylor starts out with Scripture to talk about how God's mercy can override prophecy if the people come to repentance, then Taylor uses a false equivication fallacy to say that Taylor's prophecy did not come to pass because people did not "recognize" it, and then a few pages later, he comes back around to the repentance subject again, but in a very strange way. He tells the church that they must repent, but not for sin:
"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

I will continue that quote in a moment, but I need to stop and explain that this is very odd because what sin in the Bible is he referring to? What sin could there be that the world is NOT committing, that the church IS committing? I am in no way saying that Christians do not sin, nor am I arguing that God does not chasten His children, but considering all the pride, drunkenness, drugs (i.e. sorcery), fornication, theft, covetousness, murder, and other such crimes that we see quite frequently in America, why is America (as a whole) not under judgment?

As we covered in the last chapter, judgment means to take in information, and discern between what is true and what is false, which means that even a nation that is being blessed by God is under judgment. Remember that God can judge that a man does good and evil, and both are part of judgment. We are always being judged by God, but punishment and/or chastening can be a result of that judgment, if we are impenitent (i.e. without sorrow for our wrongdoing).

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 continues:
"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

First of all, Christ's church and Taylor's "Army of God" are two very different things. There is the church of the Lord Jesus Christ, made up of His disciples who adhere themselves to His doctrine, and then there is the New Apostolic Cult of Taylor's corrupt mind and heart.

That being said, let's analyze Taylor's doctrine for a moment because this is a completely nonsensical declaration. To understand this more clearly, I will use the analogy of a parent to a child.

Let's suppose that a father teaches his son that it is good to wash his hands after using the bathroom to keep things clean. The father not only tells the son, but leads by example because the father washes his hands when he is done using the bathroom.

The son, however, decides that he will not wash his hands after using the bathroom, despite the fact that the father has instructed him and set an example. The father may decide that he needs to discipline his son by punishing him for his disobedience, but if Taylor's doctrine is to be taken seriously, then the father cannot blame the son; rather, the father ought to blame himself, and punish himself for not being a "moral compass" to his son.

Taylor claims that churchgoers have sinned because they are not leaders to fight against abortion, but the one credit I can give to the many corrupt church buildings across America, is that they have been mostly consistent in the fight against abortion. Many groups have stationed themselves outside of abortion clinics with pickett signs that say "Abortion is Murder," and they have been doing this for decades, so who specifically is Mark Taylor accusing?

Do Americans have the liberty to IGNORE arguments and warnings about murdering children, and murder their children anyway? Yes, they can choose that path, although they should be warned that, as of 2022, they could be arrested and charged with murder for doing so, depending on what state they live in.

For example, I wrote an article on the subject of abortion (called "Abortion: Paganism, Satanism, Sacrifices and Witchcraft") and did an audio series on it, to warn people about what is really going on behind the scenes. So when people choose to ignore my warnings (and the Scriptural warnings from God that I provide in that teaching), how is it that when they murder their children, they are NOT guilty and worthy of punishment (e.g. Taylor said, "America is not under judgment), but I am somehow guilty and worthy of punishment for what they did?

Taylor is claiming that "the Church" has not been setting an example and instructing people to righteousness, but the problem with that argument is that Taylor is not part of Christ's true church because he has never been converted unto Jesus Christ. So, is Taylor simply speaking of himself, and then applying that to everyone else? I cannot say for sure. The New Apostolic cult (filled to the brim with false converts), along with its corrupt religious siblings (i.e. various denominations), have not been teaching the truth of Jesus Christ, nor will they ever (because they cannot understand it, 1Co 2:14), and so it is true that God will judge them in the day that He decides it is right, but that day may not be until the coming wrath of God that is poured out into the world (including Mark Taylor, and the NARs) who would not heed His warnings.

As with most church-ianity cults, Taylor uses the topic of abortion because he knows it is a political hot topic among churchgoers. He knows that if he only mentions "the blood of those babies" it fills people with emotion and gives himself a seemly "righteous" cloak, and though many churchgoers are laden with their own sin, Taylor uses this as a battlecry to bring people into his "Army," which (as we covered in chapter four) is the NAR agenda to lead people into an ecumenical religion under the banner of the final antichrist.

Taylor knows that there are real Christians out there (even though he calls them "fake" Christians) who are exposing his false prophecies, and he wars against them as much as he can to keep any of his audience from hearing the truth. As one of those who is exposing Taylor, I am fine with that because whether or not someone hears the truth and understands it, that is up to the Holy Spirit to do; I cannot make anyone hear what I am saying and understand it because I have no capability to unlock 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 job is to simply teach the truth and make it available for others to hear. If they do not want to hear, that is their business. However, Taylor accuses those who preach the truth of being guilty of sins they did not commit, and in his willful blindness and prideful heart, he also issues warnings to people like me about not "touching God's annointed," which is another argument false prophets and their cult followers often make:

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

First, I would ask them, in what way have I laid my hands on Mark Taylor? In what way have I personally harmed Mark Taylor? I have not touched him or done any wrong to him, nor do I have any interest in doing so. The only thing I have done is quoted Taylor, and contrasted what he said with physical evidence and/or Scriptural doctrine to prove he is a liar and false prophet.

Of course, the purpose of this book is to prove that Taylor is a false prophet, meaning that First Chronicles 16:22 does not apply to him. However, I still have no interest in harming Taylor, or anyone else for that matter, so that begs the question: What harm have I dont to Mark Taylor?

Secondly, it needs to be noted that First Chronicles 16:22 is a rebuke against kings, who were commanding their law enforcement to arrest the true prophets of God (while most people cheered on the officers and chided the prophets), and that was because the true prophets were not preaching a feel-good message that most people 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

And finally, I will return a warning to Mark Taylor and to all his followers, and it is the warning Peter issued when speaking about Paul's writings, as well as the other Scriptures from the apostles and prophets:

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

Peter warned that those who twist and distort the Word of God to justify their idolatry (i.e. the worship of false prophets), to cover their witchcraft (i.e. divination), and to manipulate others to believe in lies, you do so to your own destruction. I wrote this book, in part, to help those churchgoers who worship false prophets, to lead them to the truth of Jesus Christ. However, knowing that few of them would hear, I wrote it more for the protection of Christ's church, that they might hear the Word of God and understand, so they would be protected from wicked men like Mark Taylor, who are trying to deceive Christ's flock for their own 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

Just when you might have thought that Mark Taylor's absurdity had reached its limits, prepare yourself to read the strange things he has said publicly...
 


I had to hunt down a lot of Mark Taylor's statements from a variety of sources because Taylor's YouTube channel was taken down, likely due to YouTube's anti-free speech censorship, since Taylor often speaks out against Covid vaccines and election fraud. (I left YouTube in January of 2021 because I already knew it was too risky to continue to post any videos there, since they had already hit me with a number of unjustified strikes in years prior to that point, and they had been shadow banning people for the past decade.) It is very difficult to find Taylor's videos anymore, which made research for this book quite a bit more difficult, as I was forced to turn to some sources I normally would not go to in order to get audio clips of Taylor speaking.
(See Mark Taylor, Former YouTube Channel, retrieved Oct 27, 2022, [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOcxxWkbqDn6TiFcez9XUPQ])

There is a video channel on Rumble called "Prophetic Truth Network" that was created in the spring of 2022. Although there is no information on it that directly states that it is owned and operated by Mark Taylor, the banner on the page has a firetruck and firefighter emergency lights, and all the videos on the channel feature Mark Taylor, so it does not take a detective to figure out who the channel belongs to.
(See Mark Taylor, "Prophetic Truth Network," retrieved Nov 25, 2022, [https://rumble.com/c/c-1595695])

Taylor is an odd character in the sense that he speaks very quickly and passionately about everything he says, but he often trips over himself, and ends up swimming in word salad. If I put it another way, Taylor uses a lot of words and phrases that are vague without proper explanation, and then repeats himself frequently. During his passionate rants and jumbled speeches, Taylor claims to provide "prophetic meaning" that turns out to be completely wrong.

In one of his interviews, 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 documented Taylor's videos and quotes because he is an easy layup for them. In other words, it is easy to make right-wing political activists look crazy by quoting Mark Taylor, and it is not hard to see why.

Let's use the sentence "Mark Taylor is a prophet" as an example to show the absurdity of Taylor's thought process on this. If I replace the word 'prophet' with the word 'phony' (as he replaced "covid" with "cabal"), we would then have to conclude (according to Taylor's way of thinking) that God is really making Taylor tell everyone he is a phony, but just 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)

Of course, I do believe that Mark Taylor is phony, and I have provided substantial evidence in this book to prove that. It is NOT good and logical to make the argument that just because I changed one word with another word that starts with the same letter, that it somehow proves Taylor is a phony, and likewise, doing the same will not provide some sort of secret code behind the words of Donald Trump.

It should be noted that, around the time when Trump was saying these things back in 2021, I remember a number of people theorizing the same things, namely, that Trump was using code words because they could not figure out why he was endorse a vaccine that many people knew was killing millions. Because I knew these ideas were floating around at the time, it provided more evidence to me that Mark simply takes what he hears and repackages it as "prophetic words" to make himself sound important.

One of the main reasons that Mark Taylor uses these nonsensical word-replacement theories is because, as we saw in earlier chapters, Taylor does this with his so-called "prophecies." He thinks that by replacing one word with another word of his liking, he can get special meaning out of it, and this leaves a very important question for Taylor worshipers to consider: If Taylor does this with his interpretations of what people say, how do you know for sure whether his prophecies are actually what he allegedly received from the "spirit?" Could Taylor have reinterpreted his prophecies (in a Seuss-style rhyme) to give it the meaning he wanted it to have, rather than its original meaning?

If you say that is not possible, I would ask how you could tell. If you say it is because Taylor is a prophet of God, then you just entered into circular reasoning in which the conclusion (i.e. Taylor is a prophet) is based on the assumption (i.e. Taylor is a prophet) without considering any evidence.

Taylor says these things in his willful blindness and foolishness. He does not realize that by using his word-replacement theory with Trump, he actually destroying his own credibility because, if Taylor worshipers were honest, they would have to conclude the possibility that Taylor is fabricating these prophecies based on his own presuppositions.

We read from Taylor's 2015 prophecy (called "Time Is Up") in the last chapter, in which he wrote that God was "neutering" Obama. It was odd enough to use this type of phrasing because God never said things like this when prophesying punishments on the leaders of nations in Scripture, but it got much weirder when Taylor used it with "ing" which is a present participle, or in other words, Taylor indicated that God was in the process of "neutering" Obama, whatever that is supposed to mean because, unless Obama's testicles are slowly being sliced off over the course of years, it was meant to be taken as an analogy.

However, we do not know if we are supposed to take it as an analogy or not because the rest of Taylor's so-called "prophecy" is literal. He called Obama a liar, so is that literal or metaphorical? He called Obama a thief, so is that literal or metaphorical? When God used analogy in Scripture he made it clear by using examples that we can clearly understand (e.g. "shadow of thy wings" in Psa 36:7 is obviously meant as a mother bird covering her children because He prefaced it with "the children of men put their trust"), but we do not know what sense to take the word 'neutering' because there is no other explanation of the anology anywhere in his prophecy.

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 this to be a bit strange because he mentions judges, senators, and congressmen, but then he felt the need to add in "women" after congressmen. I was unaware that the Lord God watched television and felt the need to be politically correct to make sure feminists were appeased by including "women" when mentioning offices of government, even though women are automatically included in those titles because they perform the same duties.

Furthermore, what did Taylor mean by "kinds?" This is a strange word to use in this context because there are different levels of judges that have different levels of authority, and some that oversee certain categories of cases in the Judicial Branch, but there are not different "kinds" of judges.

There are different kinds of courts (e.g. family court, criminal court, etc), but not different kinds of judges because all judges do the same job (i.e. to compare facts and evidence to discern the truth). They have the same fundamental operation, just at different degrees, and therefore, I do not believe that Taylor's so-called "prophecy" had any real meaning behind the word 'kind' because the Dr. Seuss prophet just needed to add that specific word to make it rhyme.

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])

Though some readers might find it trivial to analyze a man's words this closely, I would argue two points. First, Mark Taylor claims these are the word of the Almighty God who cannot err and cannot lie, and so they should be taken with the utmost seriousness, and secondly, I would remind readers that the old saying is generally true, namely, "The devil is in the details."

I thought it was important to point out these specific words, and how they are used by Taylor, because he often relies on political and cultural idioms in his prophecies. We have seen some of these in previous chapters, like when Taylor described God as "Commander-in-Chief," or saying an election would be a "clean sweep," just to give a couple of examples. Some might argue that even the apostles in Scripture had different styles of writing, but idioms are not a "style" of writing because they convey implied meaning, based on one's demographic upbringing (i.e. criteria such as religion, ethnicity, nationality, and interests), which limits what people in other countries and cultures might be able to understand, instead of direct contextual and/or grammatical meaning that anyone can understand.

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 example, imagine you went to England and heard someone say, "Oi, that Trump's ledge! He's minted with a dishy bonnie!" This is plain English, but some readers might be baffled to understand this, because it is spoken in idioms, which why, even though you may have spoken English your entire life, this seems like a completely foreign language. (Essentially, the idioms are conveying that Donald Trump's a legend because he has a lot of money and an attractive wife.)

This is one of the ways you can identify false prophets because they are speaking on behalf of themselves, and not on behalf of God. False prophets are often so desperate to keep their prophecies vague and loosely interpreted (in combination with entertaining their audience and protecting copyrights), they fall into the snare of using idioms, which are vague and loosely defined by nature.

As I spent time listening to interviews with Mark Taylor, I can say with confidence that most of what comes out of his mouth is just feel-good messages supporting the New Apostolic cult, but every so often, I would hear him make statements that would make me stop and say, "Whoa! What did he just say?!" If you are a student of the doctrines of Jesus Christ, and decide to look into Taylor for yourself, you will soon find out what I mean.

For example, Taylor said the following when talking about 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, let's take a look at the Scripture that Taylor was referring to:

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 strange that Taylor would say, "Well, IF that's the case, the Lord told me," because either Scripture is true, or it is not; we do not need a contigency here. Of course, I am not saying that it is wrong to set up a logical argument by saying (for example) "If X is true, then Z is the result," but that is a binary statement, meaning that both 'X' and 'Z' is either true or not true. Thus, the problem is that Taylor is saying that if that sentence is true, then the Lord told him something, but if that is not true, the Lord did not tell him something, which makes no sense at all.

Imagine for a moment that I said that God is only real if you believe in Him; that is a nonsensical statement because in order for a statement to be a fact, it must be true outside of individual beliefs or opinions. For example, this book is does not magically become true or false based on what you, the reader, happen to believe about it because truth exists outside of our opinions about it.

Either God spoke to Taylor or He did not speak to Taylor, so which one was it? The truth of our testimony does not rest upon whether someone else's testimony is true. By saying that "If this Scripture is true, then God spoke to me," Taylor is opening himself up to the possibility that the Scripture may not be true, which demonstrates a lack of faithfulness on his part, and might instill doubt into his listeners.

The context in 2nd Peter 3 is talking about how time does not mean anything to God because He exists outside of it. This is to encourage the church that the Lord has not forgotten his promises and abandoned us, but rather, He is kind and longsuffering for the purpose of bringing as many as possible to the truth of salvation in Jesus Christ, which is why Peter went on to say:

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

However, new-age religious cultists like Mark Taylor want to use 2 Peter 3:8 out of its context in effort to claim they have some sort of secret wisdom (i.e. mysticism). They attempt to use it as a mathematical equation to say that, every time God speaks of a day, He is referring to a thousand years (in secret code, like what Taylor does in his prophecies), but any time God has used a different standard of measurement, He has made it clear in His written Word that is what He is doing, and does not used innuendos and implied meanings that force us to guess and infer what He is trying to say.

Taylor went on to talk about how the earth is not yet six thousand years old because of the dates on the Hebrew calandar, and therefore, he concluded, the end of the world will not be until that time, which is a major assumption that is not stated in Scripture. We Christians will know the general season of the end by the signs that Jesus told us about, but no man will know the day or the hour (Mat 24:36), and no man is going to foretell ahead of time which year the world will end by using witchcraft and divination through mathematical equations, which has been attempted and failed by countless false prophets 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.)

However, the key point is that, in the above quote, Taylor claimed that it took God 6,000 years to create the world and the universe around us. That is NOT what the Bible teaches, and the context of Scripture makes it abundantely clear what time frame God was referring to.

As we have already seen, Taylor often uses the phrase, "The Lord told me" or "The Lord showed me," in which he tries to get people to believe that he receives personal messages from God. (This is a cheap trick many churchgoers use to gain respect of their person, which is sin according to James 2:9, and to attempt to shut down any criticism or questioning of their words by claiming they are ordained by God.) I have already proven many times over in this book that Taylor is liar and false prophet, but what he does not understand is that we Christians do not need to receive personal phone calls from God because we have His Word in the Holy Scriptures that we trust by faith, and His Word instructs us as follows:

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

And it was Jesus Christ Himself (i.e. not me) who said that if you do not believe what Moses wrote, then you cannot believe Christ either, and therefore, if you do not believe that the universe (including this world and all creatures therein) were made in six, literal 24-hour days, then you do not believe in Jesus Christ either:

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 talked about his belief in Satanic frequencies that constantly broadcast through the atmosphere that, according to him, are altering the DNA of mankind and making them hate Donald Trump. This is not hyperbole (i.e. exaggeration), 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 almost speechless because I was trying to figure out where to begin to respond to this. If you have ever known someone that talks a lot, but says nothing of substance, that is exactly what we just read because there were no quotes or references to any information, and Taylor just repeated the same lines over and over, indicating that, through his much speaking, he is fooling a lot of simple-minded people.

He repeated this idea more than I showed in this quote, but I cut it down to save time, if you read it carefully (or go back to listen to the original audio clip), he is saying the same thing repeatedly, just in slightly different ways by mixing up the same words in a different order in each sentence. Taylor did not define what he meant by "frequencies" in his talk, but he did allude to things like music and television, so we are left to conclude that his belief is that radio or television frequencies are altering the DNA of people around the world to hate Donald Trump.

The original videos that Taylor published talking about this subject are no longer available on YouTube, but I searched around the internet for a while, and found some people talking about the videos. I cannot verify the information, but allegedly, Taylor claimed that any music played at 440hz was an "unholy" frequency of Satan, while any music played at 444hz was supposed to be God's frequency, but again, Taylor never provided any sources to support his claims.
(Read Christian Music: For the Love of Money here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

However, Mark Taylor heavily implied that his "Satanic frequencies" theory goes much further than just radio and television. He referenced to a major "Satanic frequency" going out on November 8th, which is voting day in the United States, and therefore, he believes that a DNA-altering frequency went out to genetically prevent people from voting for Trump because, after all, Taylor prophesied a second consecutive win for Trump, and he needed an excuse as to why his prophesy failed. (Even though we Christians know that the true prophesies of God NEVER fail.)

Taylor's philosophy on this goes back to the core religious beliefs that he has adopted, which we looked at in a lot more detail back in chapter four, concerning the New Apostolic Reformation cult. Taylor could not cast out the demons within him, so he sought out the soothsayers and psychics in NAR church buildings (e.g. specifically Melissa, the woman he credits for allegedly helping him), and he submitted himself to ritualistic ceremonies and religious repeat-after-me prayers to supposedly "purge" the curses from his bloodline.

In my opinion, he failed at this because it either takes an extraordinary foolishness or a devil possession to say what Taylor just said in the seriousness with which he said it. This would normally be quite comical to me, but sadly, he is leading thousands of people to the wide gates of hell through messages like this, in which he attracts people through sensationalism, only to turn them to a false gospel.

I would first say that anyone who says they have the "DNA [deoxyribonucleic acid, which is the genetic instructions for the development and growth of all living creatures] of Jesus" has no Scriptural understanding because, again, they have accepted a false gospel. Based on his beliefs and the way he talked about it positively instead of rebuking it, it sounds like Taylor also believes in 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 this world to save our flesh; rather, He came to save our souls, which do not have 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

When Paul says, "we are the circumcision," he is referring to the circumcision of the heart, which the Lord God taught the Jews in Old Testament:

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

Stiffnecked people are arrogant, stubborn, and almost impossible to have a reasonable conversation with; men like Mark Taylor for example, which is why he does not have discussions with anyone who opposes him about the Scriptures. (This is because he does not have much understanding of the doctirnes of Scripture, and would easily lose such a debate.) We have seen Taylor turn to witchcraft for his help, receive glory in worship of himself, and participate in the idolatry and worship of Donald Trump, and so now Samuel, a true prophet of God, should make more sense to us when he says:

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 that "Satan's frequency" (so-called) was making people hate Jesus Christ. Taylor obviously has no concern about that because his goal as a false prophet is different than that of true prophets, namely, that the true prophets of Scripture rebuked the sins of mankind and pointed 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, on Jim Bakker's corrupt show, Taylor stated 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 exactly what witches believe and teach. For example, the following author from Living Wicca Today points out the pagan belief that "intuition" in witchcraft 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," Feb 28, 2022, retrieved Nov 17, 2022, [https://wicca.com/livingwiccatoday/intuition-your-direct-line-to-a-higher-power]

This Wiccan author's definition of intuition is correct, but the interpretation of what it means is corrupt. Intuition is when your mind is able to reason out that something is true or false before you have had time to talk it out in your mind, or in other words, it is often a super-fast reasoning process that takes place when you have exercised your mind on a particular subject.

So, for example, I guarantee that Donald Trump can easily and quickly identify a bad business deal before he has a chance to talk it out in his mind because he has conducted countless business deals in his lifetime. Likewise, I have had young Christians come to me with matters of Scripture to ask me questions about what someone is teaching, and though they may have spent many days or weeks trying to discern the matter, I can pick out the deception easily and quickly (sometimes within just a few minutes) because I do this every day in my ministry work, which gives me a bit of intuition, or rather, the Bible refers to it as 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

The difference is that those who have their senses exercised to discern between good and evil are those who have spent a lot of time in study of God's Word, and practical application of those principles and doctrines. What Mark Taylor and other such witches do is simply "feel" what they think the truth is (falsely labeling their feelings as "intuition"), and run with it before they have considered to double check if their "gut-feeling" was reasoning based on understanding, or if it was just passing gas.

In another interview, Taylor expresses his belief that Louisianna suffers violent hurricanes because they are producing what he calls "Baal's food source:"
"Why did Louisianna 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]

The reason this was difficult for me to respond to is because it was unclear what Taylor was trying to convey in this statement. I listened to this portion of the interview a number of times to try and glean what context I could, but it was very confusing overall.

My conclusion of what Taylor might be saying came down to two possibilities. Either Taylor was saying that hurricanes happened in Louisianna because abortions took place there, or he was saying that hurricans happened in Louisianna because they outlawed abortion in most places throughout the state, or in other words, Mark left us with the conclusion that whether abortions were allowed or prohibited, they were both the reason for hurricanes.

First, I want to point out that Taylor either does not know what he is talking about, or he lied to his audience (both ignorance and lying are very common with Taylor, so I do not know which it is), because before he made this statement, he also said:
"Louisianna 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]

Mark Taylor said this in April of 2021, which was 14 months before Roe vs. Wade was overturned, and he was referring to an amendment in Louisianna, in which they had a vote to add language to their State Constitution to clarify that, "nothing in this constitution shall be construed to secure or protect a right to abortion or require the funding of abortion." This did NOT make abortion illegal in the state of Louisianna because, again, Roe vs. Wade had not been overturned yet; rather, all this did was clarify that the State of Louisianna would not allow citizens to claim (in a court of law, or any other legislative hearing) that they had a State Constitutional "right" to abortion, nor would the State of Louisianna fund any 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)])

The fact of the matter is that Louisianna had a "trigger law" in place since 2006, which means that, once Roe vs. Wade was over turned (which is essentially SCOTUS sending the authority and decision making process back to the legislators of individual states, because there is no U.S. Constitutional right or protection to get abortions), it would automatically activate, and make abortion illegal statewide. This happened in June of 2022, but prior to that time, the Supreme Court prevented states from making such laws, and so for Taylor to say that Louisianna made abortion illegal a year before they were able to make it illegal is either ignorance or a lie.

This is why I said it was confusing because Mark Taylor took it upon himself to speak prophetically in the sense of interpreting hurricanes as some sort of punishment for abortion in Louisianna. Therefore, as I previously stated, Taylor's comment would have to be taken in one of two ways: Either God was punishing Louisianna for performing abortions, or "Baal" was punishing Louisianna for taking away abortions (which would require God allowing "Baal" to control the weather), and either way, it does not make sense because Louisianna had trigger laws on the books to prevent abortion for the better part of two decades, so there is no reason for God to punish them for what they could not control, nor does it make sense for Him to give "Baal" weather control to punish Louisianna.

The region which is now called the State of Louisianna has presumably suffered hurricanes for thousands of years, and there is much documentation of these hurricanes that stretches back to the state's official admission into the United States of America in 1812, after the land was purchased from the French and Spanish in 1803. According to Mark Taylor, we would have to conclude that Louisianna suffered hurricanes, even before cities were developed there, because of abortion, and ONLY Louisianna specifically for some unknown reason that Taylor alone seems to be able to interpret.
(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 all that was not confusing enough, allow me to pose this argument: Abortions were taking place in Indiana (the state in which I live) for many years, but Indiana has long had trigger laws in place for the overturning of Roe vs. Wade. After Roe vs. Wade was overturned in June of 2022, our Indiana State trigger laws went into effect in September of 2022, and so my question for Mark Taylor is this: Since we in Indiana have gone through the same process as Louisianna, why have we not suffered a hurricane?

None of this makes sense because Mark Taylor is a false prophet. He is not only a false prophet, but he makes rash statements publicly without doing any research first, and he often jumps to conclusions based on his feelings about what he hears.

In his self-documentary, Taylor read from his July 8, 2016 prophecy called "Operation Let My People Go," in which he said 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 a lot to unpack here, so let's take this one step at a time. It should be noted, first of all, that earthquakes take place all around the world, multiple times every week.

This means that I could prophecy that when the Federal Reserve System crashes the fiat dollar, there will be an earthquake as a sign, and once that happens, on average, at least three or four countries would have had an earthquake that week, so I could pick and choose which one I wanted people to believe "fulfilled" the prophecy. To be perfecly clear, that is NOT prophesying, but rather, that is scamming simple-minded people into thinking what Mark Taylor says is "divine" revelation.

On the day that Donald Trump was elected POTUS (Nov 8, 2016), a magnitude 6.0 earthquake struck Chile. So why did Mark Taylor not announce that to be the fulfillment of his so-called "prophecy?" Even though Taylor is a con man, in my opinion, it would have been a stronger argument to convince people he was a real prophet. Why did he not say that an earthquake struck Chile as a sign for Americans that they would be able to eat more chili because food would come to their tables from the prosperity America would have under Trump?

Three days later, on November 11th, Japan had a magnitude 6.1 earthquake, northeast of Ishinomaki. So why did Mark Taylor not announce that to be the fulfillment of his so-called "prophecy?" Ishinomaki is roughly translated to be "rolling stone," so why did he not say that the stone the builders rejected is now on the move? (Taylor might have said that if he researched it, or read my book, but I do not want to give him any ideas.)

On November 13th, five days after Trump's election, a magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Amberly, New Zealand, NOT Christchurch. Amberly is about 31 miles (50 km) northeast of Christchurch, but the mainstream media said it struck Christchurch because no one in America has ever heard of Amberly, and they wanted ratings to go along with their news headlines. (Again, mainstream media news is how Mark Taylor interprets his "prophecies.") Soon after this initial "shaking and quaking" (as Pentecostals and Charismatics like to call it), more magnitude 6.0-6.5 earthquakes struck Blenheim, which is roughly 100 miles (160 km) northeast of Christchurch.

A tsunami of about 8 feet in height appeared, doing some significant damage along the eastern coast, and two people died as a result. Taylor said Christchurch was "decimated" by this earthquake (i.e. the word 'decimated' means to be reduced in size by 90%), which is a flat-out lie, because Christchurch suffered much more significant damage earlier that year (on Feb 14th, commonly known among the locals as the "Valentine's Day Earthquake," which resulted in new cliffs being created that cut off roads), and furthermore, they had an even more devastating earthquake strike them five years prior in 2011, which killed 185 people.

Taylor chose to use the New Zealand earthquake as a "fulfillment" of his so-called "prophecy" because the city the mainstream media attributed to it had the words 'christ' and 'church' in it. (i.e. he said "the Lord was saying there is a shaking coming to Christ's church") Once again, this reflects Taylor's pagan ideology (i.e. divination) and childish level of thinking. Christchurch was named because of the influence of the Catholic Church under the Church of England, which teaches antichrist doctrines, practices heretical rituals, and has NOTHING whatsoever to do with Christ's true church. Without getting into too many details, 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; the church of the Lord Jesus Christ had no part in this.
(Read Corruptions of Christianity: Catholicism here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

And once again, Taylor used certain buzz words to get Charismatic/Pentecostal churchgoers tingling inside. He said that there would be a "shaking" coming to the church, which triggers churchgoers to start convulsing in their demonic delusions, laughing like mad men, and screaming their Satanic gibberish, which they falsely label "speaking in tongues."
(Read "Revivalism: The Devil's Design" and "Speaking in Tongues vs Charismatic Gibberish" here at creationliberty.com for more 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, Taylor was complimented by the show's host about how wonderful his so-called "gift of prophecy" was, and Taylor responded:
"[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]

There are a few major problems with this statement, the first being that I have already provided plenty of evidence in this book that Mark Taylor glorifies himself. After Taylor had just spent a half an hour in this interview glorifying himself, he mentions Jesus Christ once at the end because he thinks it will make him look good and appear humble in front of churchgoers, and this is not the first time he has done this because I have watched Taylor as a guest on a two-hour, nationally broadcast program, and he never mentioned Jesus Christ one time because his entire purpose is to glorify himself and Donald Trump.

I searched Mark Taylor's prophecies from 2011 to 2022, and none of them mention Jesus Christ.

The next problem is a HUGE warning sign against Mark Taylor, and that was when he said, "ANYBODY can do this." I put the word 'anybody' in all-caps because Taylor put heavy emphasis on the word in the video recording. This was a massive slip-up on Taylor's part, and I am sure he did not even notice what he said wrong.

Please take a moment to consider that nowhere in the Bible does the Lord give us instructions on a list of physical things we can do by our own power to receive the gift of prophecy, or in other words, we cannot draw upon the power and knowledge of God by our own merits. Prophets are not made by the works of men (i.e. no one can go to a "prophecy school" to learn how to do it; that is witchcraft, not prophesying), and therefore, it is NOT true that "ANYBODY" can prophesy the future because such things are only given by God according to His will and discretion.

That being said, I do believe that "ANYBODY can do" what Mark Taylor is doing, but to be clear, Taylor is a more of a witch or psychic, not prophet of God. What Taylor is doing is called "divination," and of course, anyone can perform the perverted practices of witches. Anyone can watch television, read newspapers, or look at websites to get the names of winning horses, and create "prophecies" about them, which is why Taylor says that "ANYBODY can do" what he is doing, even though we who are born again in Christ know that true prophesying can only happen by the grace of God, not by the efforts of men.

For example, I have said many times that anyone can do what I do because I am simply a teacher of Christ who has been given the ordinary gifts of His wisdom and understanding. (i.e. There is nothing extraordinary or miraculous about what the Lord has given me, and so with hard work, anyone can do what I do if God puts that desire in their hearts.) However, my statement is FAR different than what Mark Taylor said because receiving visions and messages of future events IS extraordinary and miraculous, and he claims that anyone can do that simply because he is conflating prophecy with divination.

In James 1:5, the Lord God tells us that all who come to Him to ask for wisdom, He will grant them wisdom. Therefore, with the wisdom of God and hard work (to research and study to show ourselves approved of Him), anyone can do what I am doing, but nowhere does God tell us that if we ask Him to show us the future that He will do so, which means that only select people that He gifts will have that given to them, and therefore, the gift of prophecy is not open to just "anybody."

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

Mark Taylor has made a lot of strange statements over the yars, but the more we understand who he is, what he believes, and what he is trying to do, the more his weird statements start to make sense. I do not say they make sense because they are logical or Biblical, but rather, they make sense to the hopeless circular reasoning of Taylor's new-age ecumenical beliefs and witchcraft practices.
 


The conversations I have had with Mark Taylor worshipers are astounding, to say the least, because just when I think I have heard it all from the worshipers of false prophets, they always manage to surprise me with something more ridiculous than I was expecting. For example, in August of 2023, I interacted on Truth Social with a woman who went by the username "Kristylove," and in response to her promoting Taylor to others, I shared Taylor's false prophecy about the Supreme Court (aformentioned in chapter five), and she responded: "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]

There are few problems with this response, the first being that, in order to protect herself from having to confess that Taylor is a false prophet, she tried to change the narrative by claiming that he is not a prophet. She realized that such a statement is obviously not true, so she softens it by saying that she does not "BELIEVE" that he is a prophet, despite the fact that Taylor himself directly claims to be a prophet on his website, as we learned in chapter two.

Her argument is that Taylor is not a prophet, but rather, he is a man who has such a deep relationship with God, that he can hear the voice of God, and that God gives Taylor "warnings and messages" for the people. Then, in some strange miraculous fashion that she never defines, Taylor delivers those prophetic messages on behalf of God in an UN-prophetic manner.

I apologize to readers if I caused any confusion because I initially thought the reading level of this book would not have required me to define what a prophet is from the start. However, because Kristy does not seem to understand what a prophet is in this context (while she proceeds to teach others about it), it is probably best that I define the term:

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' has a few definitions, but it boils down to two basic ideas; either a generalized definition of one who teaches from the written Word of God, or specific to this context, one who receives instructions from God or His angels directly and delivers that to the people. Kristy then attempts a grammatical sleight-of-hand to deceive others (likely because she was taught to do this by other false prophets) by claiming that a 'seer' is different from a 'prophet', but that is NOT how God has used that term in His Word, and the Bible specifies the definition:

(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

If Kristy would bother herself to open the Bible and study it for a bit, she would find that Samuel was called a 'prophet' and 'seer' interchangably because those terms mean the same thing in the context of Scripture:

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

Kristy even goes so far as to make the ridiculous statement that evangelists are not preachers. In her willful blindness, she failed to recognized that I am an evangelist, and I can tell her from first hand experience that evangelists are preachers, and that 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 'prophet', American Dictionary of the English Language, Noah Webster, 1828, retrieved Aug 17, 2023, [webstersdictionary1828.com])

If that were not absurd enough, Kristy then goes on to shift the goalpost by changing the subject to Kim Clement, who I also did an exposé about called False Prophet Profiles: Kim Clement, and just like this book, you can read that book for free here at creationliberty.com. Not only has Clement given hundreds of false prophecies, but Kristy said he was the ONLY prophet she knows of that she believes is "consistent," which indicates that she does not believe that any of the prophets of Scripture (e.g. Moses, Isaiah, David, etc) were consistent.

I then responded to Kristy by asking her if she remembered Kim Clement's 2010 prophecy, in which he foretold that Barack Obama would receive the Holy Spirit that summer of 2010, and would change all his presidential policies to bless Americans. Obviously, that never happened, so unless Obama can use a time machine to quantum leap himself back to the past, and trade places with his former presidential self, it is now impossible for it to happen, which is just one of the many conclusive proofs that Clement was a false prophet.

Here is the quote, and for Kristy's convenience, I also included a video link so she could watch the clip, and I sent her the link to my free-to-read book: (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 already deep hole even deeper, Kristy responded with the following post: "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. In short, it works like this:

Person A makes a statement promoting a prophet. Person B shows a failed prophecy that proves the prophet is false. Person A responds with accusations of "persecution" and "hatred" from Person B.

The truth always sounds like "hate" to those who hate the truth.

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 gave her facts, she immediately turned me into her enemy, which can be demonstrated by the Book of Psalms:

Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause. For they speak not peace: but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
-Psalm 35:19-20

To that, I would respond as Paul responded to his opposition in Galatia:

Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
-Galatians 4:16

Kristy's sentence, "Bless you may you find the fight you so desperately seek," has two problems, the first being the loaded assumption that I am looking for a fight, when all I am looking for is to share with her the truth that she might come to the true Jesus Christ, instead of the fake "christ" of the Apostolics. The second problem is that she is being passive aggressive because it is not a "blessing" to find a fight, which demonstrates her hatred of me for telling her the truth.

I will not spend too much time on the rest of her statements since they are nothing more than hypocrisy because, not only does the Holy Spirit not "reside" in "comments" (i.e. the Holy Spirit resides in those born again in Christ), but her comments were nothing but contentious. She claimed I made false accusations with a "nasty tone," but again, in her blindness, she does not see her own hypocrisy because, instead of coming to the table to show me this example of the so-called "kindness" she thinks she is showing me, to discuss the details of the facts, she instead alienates me, fights with me, and threatens to "block" me, even though I have no concern whether or not people block me on social media.

In my opinion, the funniest thing she said was, "If your desire to expose prophets is so great; make a video, write a book." As I pointed out earlier, I had already sent her a link to one of my videos where she can hear Clement say those things word-for-word, and I sent her a link to my free-to-read books, both on Clement and Taylor, but she was blinded in her rage, she did not bother to look at what was sent to her, and the Bible says that, because she answers these matters before she has heard them, she is a fool that should be ashamed of herself.

He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
-Proverbs 18:13

I also interacted with someone by the username "JOMAMA" (but the account username was @nickcooper, so I will call him "Nick"). I quoted Mark Taylor using horse divination (which we covered in chapter three), calling his divination "prophecy," and then showing Taylor's hypocrisy by his warning others to watch out for diviners who falsely call themselves "prophets," and this was Nicks' 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 often the case with the worshipers of false prophets, they either do not understand the definition of the word 'divination', or they do not care what it means because the worship of their false prophet is more important to them than anything else. Although some of you might be confused as to why someone would blindly follow a man in such a way, it often boils down to a matter of pride, in that they think so highly of themselves, they refuse to believe that they could be fooled by such simplistic deceptions, and because they get good feelings about themselves by listening to false prophets, they will defend the very thing that is keeping them from hearing the truth in Christ.

Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.
-1 Corinthians 10:12

Nick then presents a conflation fallacy, which means he is taking two separate concepts and treating them as if they are the same thing. He took Taylor's attempt to interpret the names men had given to horses, to decipher a nonsensical message from it (which is divination), and equate that to God speaking through a donkey (Num 22:28-30) to rebuke a corrupt prophet (i.e. Balaam), who beat that donkey because he did not want to hear the truth.

Nick then declares that he will "Semper Fi" his nonsensical statement, which is short for "semper fidelis," which means "always loyal." Thus, he is always loyal to logical fallacies, and that is probably the first true statement he has made thus far.

After I showed him a few more examples of Taylor's false prophecies, I ended by asking him if he remembered the false prophecy given by Taylor about El Chapo, which we covered in chapter five, where Taylor prophesied criminal gang leader El Chapo's shirt would be red from all his blood a police shootout when they tried to arrest him, but in reality, he surrendered peacefully and there was no blood. Nick responded to me by saying the following: "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]

I know that it is sin of laziness and pride that is blinding his eyes, but to an average unsaved person, Nick's response would border on lunacy because the events of El Chapo's arrest have already passed. There is no personal timing involved because I do not control time. I did not say that it would happen at that time, it was Mark Taylor who said it, so Nick is effectively blaming me for what Taylor said.

Furthermore, this clearly demonstrates the general willful blindness of Taylor's worshipers because Nick said "prophecy marches on" after I showed him numerous examples of Taylor's proven failed prophecies. What Nick was really saying to me was, "Ignore Taylor's failed prophecies and go hit yourself in the face;" that is nothing short of a mad man's ramblings, and I am fairly certain that he would not want to be talked to that way, which shows us that he does not reflect the characteristics of one who is born again in Christ and follows His commandments.

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

I will provide one last example to demonstrate the willful ignorance and hypocrisy of Taylor worshipers, and it comes from "@LauraBethPlumlee," who I will refer to as "Laura." Laura was promoting Taylor's website, specifically his written prophecies, and a link to that post is below this paragraph; I just wanted to emphasize to readers that she was promoting his written materials on his website (because that will be important in a moment), and that she (like many other Apostolics) is a worshiper 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, and she decided to respond to his false prophecy about the five SCOTUS justices being appointed by Trump BEFORE Roe vs Wade was overturned (aforementioned in chapter five), which did not happen as Taylor said it would: "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 already learned in this book, Taylor's prophecies are not "solid" by any means. His so-called "prophecies" are vague and vain "feel-good" nonsense, things that he already knew by reports in the news media or Q posts, and everything else is mostly failed predictions.

This was fascinating to me because many of Taylor's worshipers claim that he "does not call himself a prophet," and he must have said this many times during live interviews in recent years after he has been exposed for having so many failed prophecies. However, as of 2023, his book and website are still called "The Trump Prophecies," so if he is not a prophet, and these are not prophecies, then why is he still calling them "prophecies" and saying "the Spirit of God says" in his alleged prophecies?

Laura then acknowledges that she vaguely remembers some of Taylor's prophecy about the SCOTUS justices. She did not deny that it was a failed prophecy, but rather, she just IGNORED the failure of it, and said she would have to "read [it] again," which she probably will not do.

Also, just because a man does not accept online donations does not automatically mean that he that is not a false prophet. That is a logical fallacy. What a man preaches determines whether or not he is a false prophet, and that is the basis on which I have analyzed him in this book, but as a side note, this book is available free to read online, but as of 2023, Mark Taylor has never made his books available free to read.

I showed Laura the quotes where Mark Taylor denies Christ by claiming that he could cleanse his own sin through prayer, instead of faith in the blood of Christ, and 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"

Here again, she tries the argument about him not making money off of what he is doing, but then admits that he has book profits. (She forgot to mention the profits from his movie deal too.) It is a strange thing to say "He's never taken a dime," and then, in the very next sentence, attempt to justify his book sales. (I have to admit, I was laughing out loud when I read that, especially considering that Taylor writes out his prophecies in the book he sells.)

It is also a ridiculous argument to say that just because you have never heard someone say the words "I am not of Christ" automatically means they are of Christ. That is simply willful ignorance that is based on the premise that no one ever lies, or rather, that no one would ever lie about being of Christ, because if that were the case, then we would have no need to be warned about wolves in sheep's clothing; or in other words, the wolf is going to tell you that he is of Christ, and therefore, we must discern the difference between the sheep and the wolves in the disguise of a sheep.

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

It is true, as far as I know, that Mark Taylor has never retracted anything, and that just means he is a fool. However, he has kept very quiet about many things he has said over the years because he does not want people to know he said them.

I showed Laura the false prophecy Taylor made about the Washington Monument toppling over by a great wind, and she responded to this by saying: "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."

It is astounding that Laura was offended that I quoted Mark Taylor's prophecy to her, when she started the thread by telling everyone to go read Taylor's prophecies. It's amazing how the worshipers of false prophets get so angry at me for simply quoting their false prophets.

I have Taylor's book, and as I mentioned earlier, I have read his entire book, but she is accusing me of not reading his book when she openly admitted that she has not read it. Why would someone claim that a man is a prophet of God when they have not researched enough to know if that is true?

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

When I pointed out that I cannot give the truth to someone who will not hear it, she said: "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]

She promoted Taylor's prophecies, telling everyone that his prophecies are good and true, and yet does not care to research to find out if her statements are true. Essentially, she just told everyone that she hates them because she is not going to lift a finger to find out if she is helping Mark Taylor deceive everyone, leading them into false doctrine, and that is the opposite of love and charity; Laura would rather people end up in hell with their hopes in false doctrine than to read one sentence from something that might contradict what she feels.

And finally, after quoting to her some of the Scriptures I have quoted in this chapter, Laura responded by saying: "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 false prophet? Is it self-righteous to quote Scripture in proverbial context to what Laura is saying and doing? 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)

This is just my personal opinion (so correct me if I am wrong here), but when speaking to a man who provides quotations with references to a prophet in question, I find it to be somewhat self-righteous to respond by calling him a dogmatic, blind, cherry-picking, chest-beating pharisaical monkey. This is what the Bible calls a "railer," and we are told specifically that we Christians should not keep company in fellowship with anyone who calls herself a Christian while acting and talking in that way because it is a heart filled with hatred that brings that forth out of her mouth.

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 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 provided these examples because I want Christians to understand that these are the types of people who follow and worship at the feet of Mark Taylor. This is what is deep in the hearts of those who are in the Apostolics, Pentecostals, Charismatics, etc. There were so many examples of contradictions and hypocrisies for me to choose from for this book, but these three examples summarize most Taylor worshipers. Sadly, these types of responses are quite common when discussing this topic with these churchgoers on social media (if they respond at all), and they have willingly blinded themselves to follow lies that pet their prideful hearts and makes them feel good about themselves.

It should be noted that, to this day, I do not know what Mark Taylor teaches concerning the Gospel of Salvation. I have an idea and guess based on inferences from other things he says, but after listening to many hours of his documentaries and interviews, I have NOT ONCE heard Mark Taylor preach the Gospel of Salvation to the lost, and though I have searched for it, he does not write any such thing on his website, nor does he provide any statements of faith so people can know what he generally believes and teaches. (i.e. He forces you to infer it so he does not have to be responsible for his doctrine.)

In all of the videos that I watched, Taylor never clearly defined what he meant when he would say the word 'repent', but he gave the impression that he believes the word 'repent' means "to turn from sin" or "to change one's mind," which is NOT what repentance means. Repentance is defined by God in Scripture as "grief" (Gen 6:6) or "godly sorrow" (2Co 7:9-10), depending on which context in which the word is used, and those who teach otherwise create numerous contradictions in Scripture, leading people into false doctrine on salvation in Christ. If any readers want to learn more about that, I would highly recommend another free-to-read book I have here at creationliberty.com called, There is No Saving Grace Without Repentance, which exposes the false, works-based doctrine of many so-called "Christian" institutions that fool people into believing that they teach "grace through faith," when they really do not.

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

One of the things I would caution Christians to be very careful about is that Mark Taylor is FAR more manipulative and dangerous than a lot of other fake mega-church pastors. The mega-church pastors (e.g. Rick Warren, Kenneth Copeland, Creflo Dollar, etc) are an easy target, meaning that the level of discernment it takes to see through them is a very low bar, which is why Taylor (and many other false preachers like him) quickly condemn mega-church pastors to gain a following, and because of that, men like Mark Taylor are much harder to see through, especially for newer Christians.
(Read "Wolves in Costume: Rick Warren," Pope Francis' Deceptive John 17 Movement," and "Tithe is Not a Christian Requirement" here at creationliberty.com for more details on those false preachers.)

One of the reasons Taylor is so deceptive is because he will repeat certain key phrases that will make you believe that he is a strong, dutiful, and faithful Christian, and he has even repeated some of the same things that I have said in my own teachings. For example, Taylor has called out people for faking faith to turn a profit (even though he has done exactly that), Taylor has called out preachers out for seeking popularity and prestige (even though he has done exactly that), and he has even declared what I have said many times, which is that he does not get near as much persecution from the world as he gets from those who claim to be of Christ. (This is not to say that I do not get persecution from the world, because I do, but the great majority comes from churchgoers, e.g., Mark Taylor worshipers.)

The way to discern between a false preacher and a true preacher in Christ is to listen to what a man believes and teaches, look at what he does, and then compare that with the Word of God to see if they match. Of course, some false teachers and false prophets are harder to discern than others. For the wolves who are difficult to discern, there are many aspects that one must look at when analyzing his doctrine, not just one or two things, and so unless a Christian has a lot of experience with searching the Scriptures on those matters, it can often take a lot of time to see the difference.

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

False preachers and false prophets who are the most deceptive are going to tell you some things that are true, and Mark Taylor is no exception. Taylor says some things that are true, but he takes advantage of that to convince you that the lies he tells are also true, and therefore, we must continually rely on God's Word to protect us from those who would seek to deceive us for their own gain, and Psalm 12 sums it up thoroughly:

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 all the information in this book, we know that Mark Taylor is a vile con man who practices pagan divination (and falsely calls it "prophesying"), but just for the sake of argument, let's suppose for a moment that Taylor's Trump prophecy were true. What purpose would it serve?

Do not misunderstand because I think Donald Trump, overall, was a good POTUS, and in my lifetime, he is the only one I have ever seen (so far, as of 2022) that has followed the law and done the right thing for the people. So that being said, I do not want readers to misunderstand my question and think I am talking about Trump's service as President, but rather, I am talking about the ultimate purpose of Taylor's prophecy; what is the point?

Take some time to think about this carefully because when God (in the Bible) prophesied the rise or fall of a leader, He always gave very specific reasonings for it, and it typically came with a lot of rebuke to discipline the Jewish people, that they would turn from their sins. Turning the people from their wicked ways and pointing them to the grace of God is always good for the souls of the people, 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" offer none of this; no calls to repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow) for the remission of sins, and to turn from their wicked ways, so that God would heal them. This is not to say that Taylor has never said that people need to repent, but he seems to have a different definition of repentance, and according to him, the most grievous sins one could commit is not worshiping Donald Trump like he does.

If God used Taylor to give us a message that says, "Trump will be president, and Americans will get lots of goodies," what exaclty 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 say that it glorifies God because God is taking down evil men and bringing justice to the people, but that is not what Taylor is prophesying. For example, in his "America, America" prophecy, Taylor said that God said, "America, America, oh how I love three! America, America, oh how I have chosen thee!" which does nothing but build up the pride of Americans, and ignores the fact that America, over the past 200 years, has become a wicked nation.

There are three entities that are lifted up and glorified by such a pathetic attempt at prophecy: Americans, Donald Trump, and Mark Taylor. If any reader is in disagreement on this point, after everything we have covered in this book, then I encourage you to check out the references I have provided and listen to Mark Taylor for yourself because it does not take listening to him for very long to see that he does nothing but glorify himself, and occasionally pulls out the name of Jesus Christ for pretense when he needs to give an impression to his audience that he is a "disciple of Christ."

As I have previously stated, Taylor has called for repentance in other areas (even though I was unable to determine how he defined the word 'repent'), but it was not in his prophecies. This brings us back to the original questions: What is the point of Taylor's prophecy? Who exactly is helped by these prophecies?

They do not lead people to repentance (i.e. grief and godly sorrow of their sins) and faith in the saving grace of Jesus Christ, and if there were any legitimate prophecies out there in this modern day, they would be doing exactly that because (after establishing the prophecy of Revelation) there is no reason for God to give prophecies other than correcting and instructing people unto rightousness imputed to us by the Son of God. After reading through Taylor's so-called "prophecies," the ONLY thing they serve to do is lead people into sin (i.e. pride, which is the natural enemy of repentance), call people to kneel in worship before Donald Trump, and in the process, they serve as self-glorification of Mark Taylor.
(Read "The Biblical Understanding of Pride" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

Taylor has led other churchgoers in prayer calls, and there is one in particular where he led them in a prayer of repentance, in which he said:
"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]

There are two major points that need to be address; one being a great hypocrisy, and the other being a direct contradiction against Christ's Gospel. The first point of hypocrisy would be that Taylor, in his ruse of prayer, told people to come in humility and with a "contrite spirit;" meanwhile, he wrote in his book about his own grandiose title:
"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 of this book, we read the details about the self-glorifying name Taylor gave himself, and it is an almost unbelievable hypocrisy that a man who lifts himself up in pride to an extent to give himself such an elaborate name (longer than even the Lord gave Himself in Scripture), and condemns anyone who questions or critiques what he says and writes, would then turn around and lead others in prayer against "walking in pride" and "having haughty spirits and attitudes." This is a Catholic Pope level of hypocrisy, in which a man who surrounds himself with self-glorifying lavishness tells the people that they need to "humble themselves."
(Read Corruptions of Christianity: Catholicism here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

The second point about the contradictions to the Gospel would be that the foundation of repentance is laid in the hearts of those who have been 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

Therefore, for those of us who have come to grief and godly sorrow of our sins (i.e. repentance), it is a normal thing to have repentance, and to judge ourselves daily on what we say and do. However, Taylor obviously thought that repentance was a normal thing for church-ianity leadership to abandon, when the real problem is that the grand majority of church buildings leaders have never come to repentance in the first place, and because of that, many of them still preach the repeat-after-me "sinner's prayer" that creates millions of false converts around the world by offering them fake salvation without repentance.

To put it another way, Taylor treats repentance as something that can be occasionally forgotten by slipping on a spiritual banana peel. He thought his prayer was wise, when in fact, it was foolish and exposed his corrupt beliefs. This should be a major warning sign against Taylor because he does not treat repentance as a core foundation for salvation because he does not understand that it is a pillar that is constructed within us when we are first saved by Jesus Christ.

Later in that 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 not possible that mankind, in this world, can "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 we Christians do not make war with the world. However, Mark Taylor believes that God's Kingdom is established in this world because he is part of the New Apostolic Reformation, and they believe in the antichrist heresy that they are going to usher in the Kingdom of God on earth.

More of Taylors false doctrines and haughty spirit is revealed by his next statement, namely, his "decree" that it is time for us to do "greater things" than the Lord Jesus Christ. First, let's look at 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

This verse is often distorted by new-age cults (e.g. Charismatics, Pentecostals, Apostolics, etc) for the purpose of getting people to believe that they have miraculous powers, while under the appearance of not having any miraculous powers. (These people are typically called con men and scam artists.) In the context of this verse, Jesus was about to leave His disciples to return to heaven, and these words were a comfort to them that, though Jesus would be absent from them in the physical body, He was present with them in the Spirit.

Therefore, the meaning of this verse is that the disciples who Jesus was speaking with at that time would become His apostles, and would also have these miraculous gifts given to them for the express purpose of giving the people evidence (especially to the Jews) that His Gospel is the truth. This verse does NOT mean that every individual believer throughout each generation would have miraculous gifts, but worldly religious cults throughout the past 2,000 years have continued to believe and teach such nonsense.

It is interesting to note that, even if all these people had these miraculous gifts, Jesus Christ gave specific instructions that they were to have almost no material possessions beyond the clothes they were wearing:

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

So we can see the blatant contradiction of the New Apostolic Reformers, like Mark Taylor. On one hand, they claim to have all these miraculous gifts (without actually having any), but on the other hand, they ignore Christ's commandments so they can take possession of the world (even though Jesus called them to poverty), or in other words, they ignore the words of Jesus while claiming to act in the name of Jesus, and threaten curses upon anyone who dares to point out 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 decided to write a "prophecy" in which God allegedly quoted Himself, but did so out of context, creating a nonsensical meaning in order to condemn anyone speaking against the holy sacred cow 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]

I need to make two points on this, the first being that Mark Taylor is not my brethren because he has never been born again in Christ. Christians do not lie and openly deceive the public, flaunting the name of Jesus Christ haphazardly for personal gain. Therefore, I will have no unity with Taylor unless God gives him the gifts of repentance and understanding, so Jesus Christ can author true faith in him. (I can only hope this would happen for Taylor, but we do not know.)

Secondly, Taylor put quotation marks around "Thou shalt not murder!" in order to connect the idea that critiquing Taylor's words is the equivalent of physically shedding someone's blood to kill them. This should be shocking for anyone who follows Taylor because, knowing how much he wars against the work left agenda, we need to remember that it is the work leftists who believe that free speech should be silenced because they believe that words can be a form of murder, which is complete nonsense.

Jesus spoke the words "Thou shalt do no murder" (Mat 19:18) in reference to the Ten Commandments, which says "Thou shalt not kill" (Exd 20:13), and this very clearly indicates taking the life of another in sin. Taylor knows that in order to justify using the phrase "Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm" (Psa 105:15), he has to first prove that someone has done him harm, and so like a spineless coward, he cries "murder!" when he needs to be rescued from those who expose his lies.

It amazes me that Taylor will adopt the philosophy of his enemy in order to justify himself, and protect himself from having to answer to any of his critics. He does not want anyone looking too closely at his prophecies, or questioning them in any way, and therefore, Taylor is so presumptuously arrogant, he will use the name of God to condemn and curse anyone who speaks a word against him.


To Taylor, I would respond to him with his own prophecy, namely, "You will be held accountable for every word you speak."

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)

Mark Taylor believes that he has authority to tell God what is going to happen and in what time frame. Apparently, Taylor has no fear of God whatsoever. I find it fascinating that man who loves to use the popular church-ianity phrase "God is in control," believes that he has more authority than God on these matters, to "decree and declare" whatever he feels should happen.

While I was writing this book, I kept fairly quiet on social media concerning anything to do with Mark Taylor, and that is because I prefer to finish my books and articles before I start talking about the subject matter publicly. This is not only so that I have more materials readily available to answer questions and respond to arguments in a timely fashion, but also because I want to make sure that my quotes and references are accurate, so I do not falsely accuse anyone of something they did not say or do.

While I was on Truth Social speaking with Kim Clement worshipers (because, at the time, I was often sharing quotes from many of Clement's false prophecies with those who would listen), I noticed someone asking questions to an account labeled "@LtMarkTaylor," which sounded familiar. I remembered that Taylor was a lieutenant for the fire department he worked at, so I clicked to check out the account, and sure enough, it was Mark Taylor's official Truth Social account.

Even though I had not yet (at the time) mentioned a word on Truth Social about anything Mark Taylor taught because I was not done with my book, I discovered that I was blocked by Mark Taylor on Truth Social. I found this a bit strange because, not only had I not said anything about him on social media, but I also had not spoken to him personally since the email he sent me back in 2016.

(See Mark Taylor, @LtMarkTaylor, Truth Social, retrieved Oct 13, 2022, [https://truthsocial.com/@LtMarkTaylor])

When we take the time to understand Taylor's philosophy (i.e. his way of thinking), then it makes a lot more sense why he blocks someone before engaging in conversation. If you study out Taylor's teachings and read his book (as I have done), then you notice that he does not engage in conversation with anyone who is in disagreement with him, and in his book, he tells us why:
"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

As a side note, I would like everyone to understand that using the name of Jesus to manipulate others against the truth of Jesus is the very definition of a false flag operation. I am fairly certain that information would drive Taylor worshipers crazy:

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, Mark Taylor claims to have received a word from "The Lord," who told him not to debate with anyone who does not believe what Taylor says. This is one of the MAJOR warning signs of a dangerous religious cult leader, namely, that you must believe the cult leader completely, without question, and if you question cult leader, then you are condemned, and ousted from the rest of the religious group.

This is not to say that there should be contention within the church, but the problem here is that Taylor is not a Christian, and therefore, he is only part of a fake church. The church is united by the Word of God, but in the New Apostolic Reformation, they do not believe in uniting under the Word of God (as I previously covered in chapter four).

What Taylor said should not be confused with what Jesus Christ said because they are two very different things:

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

The shaking of dust off of one's feet was a Jewish custom, which was a physical communication the corruption of doctrine of the Jews, in which they would not accept the apostles, nor hear them. This was intended to show the Jews that the apostles would not carry their corruption with them as they departed, and that this very dust would rise up in the last days as a testimony against them, when God's wrath pours out into the world.

The difference is that the apostles of Christ went to these people and not only shared the message, but had discussions and debates with them in order to persuade them to the truth. (2Co 5:11) Mark Taylor does not do any of that, but rather, he simply condemns anyone who does not automatically assume he is a prophet of God.

Taylor is trying to get everyone united under the "Word of God" that comes through his so-called "prophecies," not the Living Word that is documented in the Bible. He wants people to believe that if anyone who questions his prophecies are "spiritually dead" and condemned to hell, and that is precisely what a cult guru looks like.

Notice that Taylor did NOT say that if a man does not believe the Lord Jesus Christ, then he is spiritual dead. That is what the Bible tells us:

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

Taylor says that you must believe in Mark Taylor, or you are condemned, and it needs to be understood that even corrupt cult leaders like David Karesh were not as bad as Taylor on that point because, as corrupt as he was, Karesh was willing to have conversations with his opposition. If you saw or heard Taylor in passing, and thought he was just some guy saying some odd things every now and again to try to gain a following, then you have missed the signs that he is FAR more dangerous than mega-church pastors and televangelists.

For a man like Taylor, who claims to be a soldier in "God's Army" that is set to fight a battle, it should be embarrassing to him that he is such a weak "soldier," that he cannot even handle simple discussion with his opposition. How are you supposed to be "fighting the good fight of faith" when you run like a coward from every hint of conflict?

Contention within the church is condemned in Scripture, there is no doubt about that (1Co 11:16), but contention itself not necessarily evil. It depends on the context:

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

Taylor has no interest in contending for the faith in Jesus Christ, but he does have interest in contending for the faith in Donald Trump (because he believes that Trump will validate him as a "prophet"), while in complete hypocrisy, condemning anyone for simply questioning or having doubts about his so-called "prophecies" that he made up through horse race divination (as we covered in chapter three). I want to express how difficult it was for me to take Mark Taylor seriously (for the purpose of writing this book) when he builds a house of hypocrisy on top of a foundation of pagan absurdity.

The Lord Jesus Christ told us that He, the Prince of Peace, came to bring division, which is a division based on the truth, to divide those who trust in His Word from those who trust in 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 have understanding that he is a part of a false church that is not of Christ, and therefore, he tries to defend 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

And yet, the opposite is true. Those who do not understand that Jesus Christ came to divide his church away from those who believe in lies, do not know Him because they heed the words of strangers.

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 to guide him, and likewise, all of us need the Holy Spirit to guide us to understand.

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

Because he blocked me on Truth Social before we have had discussion, it might seem like Mark Taylor was keeping an eye on me, but I do not believe that is the case. I hope that readers will understand and consider that false prophets like Taylor often seek desperately to get into the inner circles of church-ianity fame, and in order to do that, they have to bow and kiss the ring of those who are already a part of that inner circle; this knowledge will help us understand why he blocked me before any discussion could take place.

Those who follow me on Truth Social know that I have dedicated a lot of time to sharing Kim Clement quotes because I want to lead people away from false prophets, so they will turn to the Lord Jesus Christ. (And, I confess, it is a bit fun to watch Clement's worshipers squirm and contradict themselves when trying to explain their way out of his blatant false prophecies.) So, I started suspecting that Mark Taylor somehow supported and endorsed Kim Clement because Clement also had a so-called "Trump prophecy" (even though Clement never prophesied Trump to be POTUS, despite the claims of his followers; see my book for more details), and Clement was a part of the same Apostolic, Charismatic, and Pentecostal groups who adhere to the pagan divination ideology that Taylor teaches and practices.
(Read False Prophet Profiles: Kim Clement here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

Taking a note from Mark Taylor, I decided to do a quick internet search for "Mark Taylor" and "Kim Clement," and sure enough, not only did I find Mark Taylor promoting Kim Clement, but also, many comments on the reviews of Taylor's book referred back to Clement, which tells us that many of Clement's worshipers also worship Taylor. In an interview with false preacher Christopher McDonald, Taylor refers back to Kim Clement, showing us that Taylor is, at least, somewhat of 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 proven to be a false prophet hundreds of times, including, but not limited to, predicting that Rudy Guiliani would win the U.S. presidential election in 2008, that the death of Kim Jong-Il (who died in 2011) would unite North and South Korea, that all the homosexuals in Los Angeles were cured of AIDS/HIV on the night of Mar 5, 2002, that America would go to war against Iraq in retaliation over the explosion of TWA-800 back in 1996, and that Rupert Murdoch (owner of HarperCollins, FOX News, and Sky News Australia) and fiction author Stephen King would become Christian evangelists by the end of 2006, none of which happened. Therefore, it is no great mystery that one false prophet (like Kim Clement) would be endorsed by another false prophet (like Mark Taylor), especially when there is money to be made.

Some Taylor worshipers would object to my comment about the money because there is nowhere on Taylor's site that he takes donations, but to them I would respond that if you think donations are the only way false prophets like Taylor make money, then you are lacking discernment. He has book sales, product sales, advertisements, and do not forget The Trump Prophecy movie (2018) DVD sales (to which he sold the rights of his story to them), but since Taylor lives on a pension as a retired firefighter, I believe he is a bit like false preacher Steven Anderson, in that he is much more interested in fame (i.e preeminence) than fortune.
(Read "Wolves in Costume: Steven Anderson" here at creationliberty.com for more details.)

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 attempts to compare himself with Paul (the apostle in Scripture):
"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 deeply desires to have the same prestige that many churchgoers give to God's apostles, and that is why he compared himself to Paul, wanting the audience to view his words in the same way, and with the same honor, that they would view Paul's words in the Bible. However, the difference is that Paul was called to serve by the Lord Jesus Christ directly on the road to Damascus (and verified by other apostles who walked and talked with Jesus Christ), with other non-biased eyewitnesses there to verify it, while Taylor is nothing more than a cultist practicing witchcraft in 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

I also sat down in my office to write this book, namely, to rebuke false doctrines and false prophets, and to lead people to the truth in Jesus Christ, just as Paul did. However, I am sure Taylor would have objection to that, simply because I am rebuking him for his lies and hypocrisy, and therefore, Taylor's attempt to connect his actions to Paul is not only absurd (considering all that Paul did in his life), but it is just bravado, or in other words, an arrogant attempt to put up a pompous curtain of self-glorfication.

As I continued to listen to Taylor's videos, I discovered that his ignorance (or rather, his willful ignorance) knew no limitations, and he kept making one absurd statement after another without any thought to what he was saying. For example, Taylor claimed that, once the truth behind the demonic rituals and child trafficking in the Catholic Church is exposed, no one will want any 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."

If any readers believe that exposing the evils of the Catholic Church will decimate the Catholic Church, then you do not understand the history of the Catholic Church because it has been done before. Remember that the Catholic Church was involved in the torture, rape, and murder of countless people from the 13th to the 19th century, in what is today known as the Inquisition, to the point that it took the Italian revolutionary army had to use the barrel of a gun to take power away from the Catholic Church so it would end, and yet, today, the Catholic Church is more popular than ever.

These kinds of Catholic atrocities have been well-known throughout history because the Inquisitors burned people at the stake publicly. This means that they were doing these things in the open, and people still followed the Catholic Church, which means that, it does not matter how many things get exposed, die-hard Catholics will simply say it was a "few bad apples," and continue to practice their antichrist rituals.

However, what we can expect in the future is a unified world religion, which is essentially what Mark Taylor is promoting. In fact, Taylor wrote what he called the "Army of God Declaration of Unity," which says:
"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 Mark Taylor keep using the phrase "decree and declare?" The problem is that he knows that there would be a lot of objection if he made people swear oaths by saying, "I do solemnly swear," however, changing a couple of words does not take away from the fact that he is calling churchgoers to swear religious oaths against the commandments of Jesus Christ.

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 have churchgoers swear to sacrifice themselves (in a "supreme" manner, whatever that is supposed to mean) for the sake of the Gospel of Salvation in Jesus Christ, but rather, to sacrifice themselves to defeat "the Kingdom of Darkness." If by "the Kingdom of Darkness," Taylor meant Satan and his ministers, then that is impossible because we cannot defeat them; only Jesus Christ can do that.

However, if there be a "the Kingdom of Darkness," it would be in the religious sense, like a one-world religion led by the final antichrist. Remember that Taylor does not believe in the final antichrist because he believes in the NAR doctrine that so-called "Christians" (a.k.a. churchgoers) are going to purify the world so Jesus can come back and claim it, which is not only a lie from the pit of hell, but it also mentally prepares churchgoers to accept the final antichrist, whose purpose is to 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 is going to unite the world under his leadership, both politically and spiritually, and will deceive the world to such a degree that even the very elect (i.e. those born again in Jesus Christ) would be decieved, if that were possible, meaning we would be deceived by it if we did not have 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 a very dire warning that men like Mark Taylor may be (in a sense) "validated" to the point that there might be some "miraculous" evidence to their claims in the future. What I mean by this is that, when the final antichrist comes, he will show great signs and miracles to lead people to believe in the lie of so-called "unity," which was the purpose of Taylor's declaration (i.e. "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

That verse is referring to the wrath of God that will come down onto the world in the final days. Pay close attention to this because the Lord Jesus Christ has told us that the final antichrist will lead the world into a united religion to worship, and will perform the miracles that the NARs so desperately seek:

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

There are some people who try to explain this away by saying the "fire" that the antichrist calls down are missiles, but people are not deceived by missiles. If anyone makes that claim, then they are DENYING the doctrines of Scripture because it specifically says that he is performing "miracles," meaning that he is doing things that are supernatural, and this will deceive the great majority of the world.

It is this very kingdom, the kingdom of the final antichrist, that Mark Taylor is rolling out the red carpet for. Taylor, along with many other false prophets who do the same wicked things he does, and who teach the same corrupt doctrines he teaches, are helping to prepare the world to receive the final antichrist, and worship the beast.

Taylor, in his interviews, calls people like me "doom and gloom" preachers, simply because I preach exactly what Jesus Christ told us would happen. Jesus told us we who have been given the gifts of the Holy Spirit would have to suffer in this world, and that we should be of good cheer despite that because Jesus has already overcome the world (John 16:33), but Taylor does not want to make any "supreme sacrifice" for the truth of Christ's doctrine in that way because it does not suit his personal desires. These verses in Revelation are the Word of God that Taylor claims to be trying to get people to swear oaths unto, and yet, he does NOT believe what the Bible says.

Taylor ended his declaration in a very 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]

I understand that Taylor was trying to mimic the Lord's prayer in Matthew 6:10. However, the problem is that Taylor said that HE (himself) decrees and declares it (and expects others to do the same), meaning that it is not by the decree and declaration of God, which is key.

Because of this, Taylor's ending had a striking similarity to another infamous author by the name of Aleister Crowley, who was the most prominent Satanist and witchcraft practitioner of the 20th century, and sacrificed thousands of children in demonic rituals. In his book, Crowley often used two very distinct phrases, one was "as above so below," and the other was "so mote be it," which is eeriely similar to the final statement in Taylor's declaration.

If, by the grace of God, my writings are preserved for future generations, please beware of the DOCTRINE of any false preacher, false prophet, or false apostle, not just Mark Taylor. Do not look to what miracles a man might perform because God will allow the devil's ministers to perform miracles in the end days for this reason, that He will test His true flock verses the fake flock of churchgoers, and so you must hear the doctrine of a man, and then test it to the doctrine of Scripture to see if it matches.

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 end this book on Taylor, I thought it fitting to go back and quote his own prophecies against him. Please consider all that we have learned about Mark Taylor's lies and false doctrines as we read his own prophecies:
"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, "Wolves in Sheep's Clothing," Sord Rescue, Jan 7, 2021, retrieved Nov 30, 2022, [https://sordrescue.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Wolves-in-Sheeps-Clothing.pdf]

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

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

Mark Taylor is willingly 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 want God to give Mark repentance of his sins, and bring him on his knees to the foot of the cross of Christ so he can be saved (just as the Lord God was gracious enough to do for me), so he would not have to face a sentencing worse than death in hell and the lake of fire to come.

I also want this for all of you reading this book. I hope and pray that all of you, as well as Mark Taylor, his family, his followers who hate me, and all his pagan associates, would be given as much grace and mercy as the Lord Jesus Christ has kindly shown me.

Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. MANY will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
