During his recent appearance(link is external) on the “Up Front in the Prophetic” radio program(link is external), radical(link is external) right-wing(link is external) conspiracy(link is external) theorist(link is external) and so-called “firefighter prophet(link is external)” Mark Taylor declared that support for President Trump will be key in determining who is and is not a true Christian as the End Times arrive.

In Matthew 3(link is external), John the Baptist prophesied that the Messiah would soon arrive and "will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” This prophecy carries particular significance for those who believe that, in the Last Days, Jesus will gather up his believers—the wheat—for salvation while(link is external) "the chaff—the wicked, the ungodly, the faithless, the unbelieving, the unfruitful—He will separate from the godly and consign to a horrible fate."

"God is separating the wheat from the chaff," Taylor said(link is external). "It has split families apart, literally, over this whole Trump thing ... The second Donald Trump was put in office, it activated something in the spirit; we crossed a timeline prophetically in the spirit that this is what is going to separate the wheat from the chaff right now."

Taylor went on to complain, yet(link is external) again(link is external), about being labeled a false prophet, insisting that getting prophecies wrong does not mean that he is a fraud.

"People attack me all the time," he griped. "You get one thing wrong, you're a false prophet. That's not what a false prophet is ... What makes a false prophet is the character of man. It's the corrupt character. You just a prophet by his fruit."
