While on a preaching tour in Vermont a few weeks ago, Franklin Graham got an idea: God had helped Donald Trump reach the White House, and now the President needed divine aid again.
Like no President before him, Trump was under attack, Graham said. From Democrats, Republicans, the media, even powers and principalities beyond the human realm. His presidency was in peril, the country at a moral crossroads. So Graham decided to do what evangelists do: pray, preferably with lots of other people. After calling evangelical allies, he announced plans to name this Sunday, June 2, as a"special day of prayer" to protect Trump from his"enemies.
" But Fea, a historian at Messiah College in Pennsylvania, is among the evangelicals critical of Graham's pro-Trump prayer event. The historian notes that Graham ended his Facebook post with a dark biblical warning about the array of spiritual forces aligned against contemporary Christians. "That's a code verse," Fea said."It sends a clear message to his followers that there is something at work here beyond politics.
