GUTLESS: Pastor David Platt Who Famously Prayed Over President Trump On Sunday Now Begs His Laodicean Church Congregation To ‘Forgive Him’ For Doing It

Gutless pastor David Platt of McLean Bible Church in Vienna has apologized to his Laodicean congregation after praying for President Donald Trump on Sunday.

Pastor David Platt says he 'hurt' congregation by praying for Trump during unscheduled visit
SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Many a night I have dreamt and pondered long about what I would do if I had the chance to witness to President Trump, how I would witness to him and tell him of his lost condition and his need of the Saviour Jesus Christ. This clown David Platt had that opportunity thrown right in his lap, and this is what he does with it. Shameful. Gutless. Laodicea.

UPDATE TO THIS ARTICLE: Over at Breitbart, the usually accurate Joel Pollack says that the pastor never actually used the word ‘apology’ so a case could be made on either side of the argument. But simple observation proves this not to be true. You can read the full non-apology apology here if you like, but let me show you a highlight of it, and you tell me what this is:

“I wanted to share all of this with you in part because I know that some within our church, for a variety of valid reasons, are hurt that I made this decision. This weighs heavy on my heart. I love every member of this church, and I only want to lead us with God’s Word in a way that transcends political party and position, heals the hurts of racial division and injustice, and honors every man and woman made in the image of God. So while I am thankful that we had an opportunity to obey 1 Timothy 2 in a unique way today, I don’t want to purposely ever do anything that undermines the unity we have in Christ.”

That is what we used to call in the car sales business as the old ‘flim-flam double take’ where you take both sides of an argument to appease everyone in the middle. You don’t really believe either position, but you just want both sides to ‘be happy’. That’s what cowards do because they lack the guts to stand for the truth. And you know what the Bible says about the ‘double minded man’.

This is the ‘explanation’ we think that Pastor Platt should have given if he were an actual Bible preacher:

“To all of you who supported my praying over our president, please continue to pray for him that he might be saved. And for those of you who are against my praying over our president, the altars are open for you to come and get your hearts right with God. Amen”

Original article follows below…

David Platt prays for President Trump after he unexpectedly shows up at church service

You can file this story in the ‘Laodicean Church Update‘ folder with all the rest of our articles about the end times, professing Christian church who has become nothing but a over-educated, money focused, lukewarm pile of poop. What a terrible state the church is in these days, don’t you wish Jesus would have warned us that this day would eventually come? Ohhhh, wait a minute, He did warn us.

“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:14-16 (KJV)

The really sad part of all this is not just another gutless pastor who doesn’t possess the courage of his convictions, if he has any convictions. No, the really sad part of all this is that it will only keep getting worse and worse, right up to the moment Jesus comes in the clouds to mercifully pluck us up and out of here in the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. So with that, let’s look at the amazing opportunity that Pastor David Platt was given, and let’s watch as he takes this precious gift and smashes it to pieces with his Laodicean cowardice.

OK, it started out perfect, like it was Scripted by the Author. Here is Pastor Platt’s prayer in its entirety. President Donald Trump made a brief unannounced visit to McLean Bible Church Sunday morning where Pastor David Platt prayed for him on stage:

“Oh God, we praise You as the one universal king over all,” Platt prayed with one hand holding an open Bible and the other hand on Trump’s back. “You are our leader and our lord and we worship You. There is one God and one savior and it’s You. Your name is Jesus and we exalt you, Jesus.

“And we know, we need Your mercy. We need Your grace, we need Your help, we need Your wisdom in our country. And so we stand right now, on behalf of our president, and we pray for Your grace, and Your mercy, and Your wisdom upon him.

“God, we pray that he would know how much You love him. So much that You sent Jesus to die for his sins, our sins, so we pray that he would look to You. That he would trust in You. That he would lean on You. That he would govern and make decisions in ways that are good for justice, and good for righteousness, and good for equity, every good path.

“Lord we pray, we pray that You would give him all the grace he needs to govern in ways we just saw in 1 Timothy, chapter 2, that will lead to peaceful and quiet lives, Godly and dignified in every way.

“God, we pray for your blessing, in that way, upon his family. We pray that you would give them strength, we pray that you give them clarity, wisdom.

“Wisdom. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. Fools despise wisdom and instruction. Please, oh God, give him wisdom. And help him to lead our country, alongside other leaders.

“We pray today for leaders in Congress. We pray for leaders in courts. We pray for leaders at national and state levels.

“Please, oh God, help us to look to You. Help us to trust in Your word. Help us to seek Your wisdom and live in ways that reflect Your love and Your grace, Your righteousness and Your justice. We pray for Your blessings on our president toward that end. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.”

Trump left without giving a speech and was mouthing the words “thank you” as he waved to the applauding audience as he walked off stage. source

Wow, that was pretty good, right? Pastor Platt covered not all the bases, he left out the national prayer for repentance we read about in Daniel 9, but all in all it was pretty good. The things started to go south when members of his Laodicean congregation were ‘not happy’ with the contents of the pastor’s prayer.

Pastor Platt apologized after saying he ‘hurt’ his congregation by praying for President Trump during unscheduled visit

The pastor of a Northern Virginia church has acknowledged hurting some in his congregation by praying for President Trump when the president made an unscheduled stop at his church on Sunday. Pastor David Platt of McLean Bible Church said he made the decision in haste and he did not intend his prayer to be an endorsement of Mr. Trump or any political stance.

“Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that we didn’t see coming, and we’re faced with a decision in a moment when we don’t have the liberty of deliberation, so we do our best to glorify God,” Mr. Platt said in a statement to church members. “I found myself in one of those situations.”

Referring to the biblical passage of 1 Timothy 2:1-6, the pastor said, “My aim was in no way to endorse the president, his policies, or his party, but to obey God’s command to pray for our president and other leaders to govern in the way this passage portrays.”

“I know that some within our church, for a variety of valid reasons, are hurt that I made this decision,” the pastor said. “This weighs heavy on my heart. I love every member of this church, and I only want to lead us with God’s Word in a way that transcends political party and position, heals the hurts of racial division and injustice, and honors every man and woman made in the image of God.” READ MORE

At the first sign of trouble, and by ‘trouble’ we mean Pastor Platt begins to see his donations going down after so publically praying for President Trump, this gutless Laodicean coward then proceeds to apologize to his congregation for the ‘unforgivable sin’ of praying for our president. What a tremendous opportunity he had to teach his people about Romans 13, and to expound on 2 Timothy chapter 4 and all the other places in Paul’s writings that deal with this topic.

“Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 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 4:2-4 (KJV)

Many a night I have dreamt and pondered long about what I would do if I had the chance to witness to President Trump, how I would witness to him and tell him of his lost condition and his need of the Saviour Jesus Christ. This clown had that opportunity thrown right in his lap, and this is what he does with it. Shameful. Disgusting. Laodicea.

PROPHECY NEWS MIDWEEK UPDATE: Today Is Day #7 Of A Complete And Total Media Blackout Of Benjamin Netanyahu Who Has Nothing To Say About The War

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Where Is Bibi? Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Missing From Public View Since March 12 As Deafening Media Silence Raises Serious Questions

A sitting Israeli prime minister like Benjamin ‘Bibi’ Netanyahu does not just “disappear” from public view for days on end without explanation — not in a region that is the geopolitical epicenter of the world, and certainly not in a time when every move in the Middle East is tied directly to end times momentum. When the cameras go dark and the microphones go silent, that’s not transparency — that’s control. This is exactly the kind of thing that should make people stop, look twice, and start asking real questions instead of passively consuming whatever narrative is handed to them.

“Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.” Isaiah 28:15 (KJB)

And let’s be honest about something: if this were any other world leader, the corporate media would be running 24/7 countdown clocks, panels of “experts,” and breathless speculation. But here? Near-total silence. That tells you everything you need to know.

The question isn’t just “Where is Bibi?” — the question is why aren’t they telling you? This is how narrative management works. Information is not released based on truth — it’s released based on timing, strategy, and desired outcome. When something doesn’t fit the script, it gets buried, delayed, or outright ignored. That’s not journalism, that’s gatekeeping. From a prophetic standpoint, Israel is always front and center, exactly where your King James Bible says it will be. Everything that happens in that tiny strip of land has global consequences, and leaders like Netanyahu are not just political figures — they are key players on a stage that is moving, inch by inch, toward the time of Jacob’s trouble. You are watching the pieces move.

“Alas! for that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.” Jeremiah 30:7 (KJB)

Whether this absence is strategic, medical, political, or something else entirely, one thing is certain — when information is withheld, it is because someone, somewhere, has decided you are better off not knowing. And that is always when you should lean in closer, not back away. Keep your eyes open. Watch Israel. Watch the silence just as much as you watch the headlines. Because sometimes what they don’t say is the biggest story of all.

FALSE FLAG ALERT: As Unidentified Drones Tauntingly Fly Over The Homes Of Marco Rubio And Pete Hegseth, The Pentagon Is Apparently Powerless To Stop It

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

U.S. officials detected unidentified drones above the Washington Army base where Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth live, according to three people briefed on the situation.

Let’s not pretend this is normal. You’re being told in the news this morning that drones — some of them possibly drones from foreign-made Shahed-type platforms — are flying over or near sensitive locations tied to high-level government figures like Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth… and that, according to Pete Hegseth, the all-powerful and maximumly lethal Department of War is essentially shrugging its shoulders and unable to do anything about it? We’ve seen this movie before, and we know how it ends.

“Then I turned, and lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a flying roll.” Zechariah 5:1 (KJB)

The same Pentagon that can track a heat signature halfway across the world, the same system that can lock onto a moving target from space, the same military that spends hundreds of billions of dollars annually on air defense, radar, and ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance) — suddenly can’t identify or stop a handful of slow-moving drones over domestic airspace? That can only mean one thing – get ready for a major false flag event. World War Trump is not going as planned, and people really haven’t done their patriotic duty to forget about the Epstein Files, so cue the ‘Jersey Drones’ and let’s get ourselves a distraction. I know this much, if our government cannot, or will not, stop drones from flying over the homes of important cabinet members like Marco Rubio and Pete Hegseth, what do you think they’ll do for me and you? You know.

Drones over base where Rubio, Hegseth live raise security concerns

FROM THE WASHINGTON POST: The military is monitoring potential threats more closely because of the heightened alert level as the United States and Israel strike Iran, according to a senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive security matters. Multiple drones were spotted over Fort Lesley J. McNair on a single night in the last 10 days, the official said, prompting increased security measures and a meeting at the White House to discuss how to respond.

The drone sightings in Washington come as the U.S. issued a global security alert for overseas diplomatic posts and locked down several domestic bases because of threats. This week, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in New Jersey and MacDill Air Force Base in Florida raised their force protection level to Charlie — a designation that means the commander has intelligence indicating an attack or danger is possible. The only higher alert level, Delta, is for when an attack has occurred or is anticipated.

The drones over Fort McNair prompted officials to weigh relocating Rubio and Hegseth, two of the people briefed said. The senior administration official said the secretaries haven’t moved. Their quarters on the base were publicly reported by multiple outlets in October. Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell declined to discuss the drones. “The department cannot comment on the secretary’s movements for security reasons, and reporting on such movements is grossly irresponsible,” he said. The State Department did not respond to requests for comment.

Twice this week officials locked down facilities at MacDill Air Force Base, home to U.S. Central Command, which is responsible for U.S. military operations against Iran. The FBI is now investigating a suspicious package that closed the base’s visitors center for hours Monday, and on Wednesday an unspecified security incident left the base under a shelter-in-place order for hours, the base said in a statement.

“To ensure the safety and security of our people and the mission, commanders adjust their installation’s security posture in accordance with local threat assessments,” an Air Force spokesperson said in a statement.

On Tuesday, the State Department ordered all U.S. diplomatic posts worldwide to “immediately” undertake security evaluations, citing “the ongoing and developing situation in the Middle East and the potential for spillover effects,” according to a cable reviewed by The Washington Post.

Fort McNair houses the National Defense University and some of the Pentagon’s most senior military officials. The base has not traditionally housed political leaders, but a growing number of Trump officials, including outgoing Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem, have moved onto area bases, citing security concerns. McNair is conveniently located close to Capitol Hill and the White House. But it does not have the same safety buffer as other bases in the capital region.

Similar drone threats surfaced surrounding President Donald Trump and other top officials in recent years as Iranian leaders sought revenge for the U.S. strike that killed Iranian general Qasem Soleimani in 2020, according to U.S. officials spanning both the Trump and Biden administrations.

Amid the escalating Middle East conflict, where Iran is targeting Gulf nations, US officials spotted unidentified drones over a Washington Army base housing Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Authorities have not yet determined the drones’ origin.

Chaplain Huseth At The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Correctional Center In Alabama Has Reached Out To Let Us Know Of Their Need For Bibles

Inmates Inside Baldwin County Jail In Alabama Are Actively Asking For King James Bibles As Chaplain Huseth Reaches Out With Urgent Need

The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Corrections Center (BCSCC) is a full-service detention facility located in Bay Minette, Alabama. Operated by the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office (BCSO), it houses adult male and female inmates, including pre-trial detainees, those serving misdemeanor sentences, and federal inmates under contract with the U.S. Marshals Service. In 2025, they underwent a $70 million dollar expansion of their faculties, not a penny of which was allocated to purchasing Bibles. Chaplain Huseth can’t find Bibles for his inmates anywhere, so he turned to us.

Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil the word of God;” Colossians 1:25 (KJB)

While most of the world rushes headlong into darkness, something very different is happening behind the locked doors of the Baldwin County Sheriff’s Correctional Center in Alabama. Chaplain Huseth has reached out to Bibles Behind Bars with an urgent request—not for programs, not for counseling, not for religion—but for King James Bibles. They don’t want entertainment. They don’t want rehabilitation theory. They want the word of God.

Inside those cells are men and women who have run out of road. The noise is gone and the distractions have faded away. And for many of them, perhaps for the first time in their lives, they are being forced to think about sin, judgment, and eternity. And when that happens, something incredible begins to take place, they start asking for a Bible. That’s not coincidence. That’s the Holy Spirit of God moving in a place most people will never go.

We have seen it again and again through Bibles Behind Bars: jailhouses turning into mission fields, hardened criminals sitting quietly reading Scripture, and men who never cared about God suddenly unable to put the Book down. Because when the word of God goes in, everything changes. Right now, Baldwin County is wide open. Right now, souls are ready. Right now, there is a chaplain standing in the gap asking for the one thing that can actually change a man from the inside out. The question isn’t whether the need is real. The question is—will we answer it? We need you, Christian, come help us!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!
