Four years ago, WorldNetDaily triumphantly announced that a “well-known Bible-code researcher” discovered that “hidden texts in the Holy Bible indicate Mitt Romney will be America’s next president.”

That failed prediction didn’t stop WorldNetDaily from hyping the work of a “Bible codes expert” who claims to have found biblical evidence that Donald Trump will defeat Hillary Clinton:

Forget what the polls and the pundits are saying.

The answer to who will win Tuesday’s presidential election is in the Bible, says an Israeli rabbi. Hillary may as well give her concession speech now.

Rabbi Matityahu Glazerson, an international Bible codes expert who has written 30 books, says it’s a fait accompli for Donald Trump. He will beat Hillary Clinton on Nov. 8 and go on to become the next president of the United States.

…

And Glazerson is not the only mystical rabbi in Israel who sees a big Trump victory in the making.

The head of the Republican Party branch in Israel, Marc Zell, said a leading Jewish mystic told him that the Zohar, Judaism’s primary mystical work, foretold Trump’s victory centuries ago, Israel Today reported.

“Two days ago, a great sage came to me — I don’t want to say his name — with all his entourage from Bnei Brak, just to give me this message for Donald Trump,” Zell told the ultra-Orthodox news outlet Behadrei Haredim.

Zell went on to note that initially religious Jews weren’t sure for whom to vote, “but in the last two weeks a decision has been made among the rabbis of all sorts of streams in the Orthodox public in Israel that Trump is the one who will defend Jerusalem, the Land of Israel and the Jewish people.”
