Indiana’s GOP lieutenant governor nominee has spent years livestreaming his so-called prophecies and wild political ramblings

Beckwith excitedly agreed with Jacobs later in the video, saying, “I truly believe that every nation has an angel that the lord has placed over it.” 

Beckwith has claimed that God has given him a “prophetic calling” as well, and he occasionally mentions his own prophecies.

“The devil has always tried to keep the Christian voice out of government,” Beckwith said in a livestream. “I’m not saying everyone needs to run for office. I know God has called me to do that and I will be a strong voice of truth in office. But that’s what he’s called me to do.” 

Beckwith said in one video, “I remember that the lord back in 2012 told me very specifically that he was going to send a wrecking ball through our political system to expose the darkness and the corruption that has been there for years. … And years later, here we have a guy named Donald Trump.” 

Beckwith claimed that God is behind Trump’s ascension and the January 6 insurrection

Beckwith compared Trump to the biblical figure of King Cyrus who, according to the Bible, was anointed by God to liberate Israel from Babylonian captivity, saying, “This sounds just like our 45th president.” 

“What I think is happening is God has anointed him [Trump] to take the mantle of leadership in America and God is saying, ‘I’m going to use you for good. I’m going to use you in ways that bless my people,’” said Beckwith.

Then came the numerology: “Oh, by the way, what chapter in Isaiah do you think that chapter is? It’s the 45th chapter of Isaiah. Do you think the lord may be sending a message to the church, saying, ‘Church, trust me. I am leading this man to do good throughout the world and to proclaim my goodness’?”
