Pastors for Trump founder says Antichrist will be a “homosexual of Jewish descent”

The founder of Pastors for Trump, an organization applauded by the former president for promoting his bid for a second term, says the Antichrist will come in the form of “a homosexual of Jewish descent.” Christians believe the Antichrist is a Satanic false savior figure who will herald the end of the world.

“The Antichrist will be a political leader of Jewish descent,” said Jackson Lahmeyer, who also serves as the lead pastor at Sheridan Church in Tulsa Oklahoma. “That is how the Jews will worship him. The false prophet, I believe, will be an Islamic imam.”

Lahmeyer made the claim in a video posted to the church’s YouTube channel this week. He added “HOMOSEXUAL” to the racist and antisemitic prediction in a follow-up tweet on X, as if bashing Jews and Muslims alone wasn’t enough.

“There’s only one group of people today that still chop off the heads of people, and that’s radical Islamic extremists,” he claimed. “And I believe they will implement that form of religion when the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is gone. So it’s my opinion that the future Antichrist will have some form of a Jewish descent, that the false prophet will be an Islamic religious leader.”

Lahmeyer created Pastors for Trump in 2022, after he lost his race for Oklahoma’s U.S. Senate seat against incumbent James Lankford in the Republican primary. Trump “withdrew” his endorsement of Lankford two years after the fact, when the Republican pushed for an immigration and border security bill that Trump would eventually quash. The twice-impeached president and convicted felon falsely claimed he’d never endorsed Lankford in the first place. Lankford says he’ll be voting for Trump.

Trump called it his “great honor” to have Lahmeyer’s support, shortly after the pastor announced Pastors for Trump’s formation. The former president sent the hate preacher a handwritten note commending him for the effort.

“I will embrace Christian Nationalism because… we are at war in this country; it is a spiritual war between good and evil,” Lahmeyer said in remarks at the time, reported by Rolling Stone.

Donald Trump, Jr, Rudy Giuliani and Roger Stone have all appeared this year with Lahmeyer at Sheridan Church. One of Trump’s sons, Eric Trump is scheduled to speak there Monday.

The preacher has a long history of hate for LGBTQ+ people.

“You have the gay and the trans agenda, that movement there. Which, by the way, the LGBTQXYZ+3 movement is a demonic-inspired movement. It’s totally demonic,” Lahmeyer said earlier this year.

“There is no such thing as a trans kid,” claimed in a post to social several years ago. “There are only adults who have abused and brainwashed their children.” He often refers to the LGBTQ+ movement as “LGBTQXYZ” and says LGBTQ+ people support pedophilia and bestiality.

“These people are sick and are not going to stop until they are stopped!”
