Mark Taylor, a former firefighter who now presents himself as a prophet based on his claim that God told him back in 2011 that Donald Trump would become president, appeared on a local Virginia radio program last week to promote his forthcoming book, “The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow… and What He Says Is Coming Next.”

During the interview, Taylor told host Rob Schilling that former Fox News host Megyn Kelly fell ill before the first Republican primary debate in 2015 because God had sent her a “warning shot” to let her know that she should not to try to harm His anointed candidate, Donald Trump.

“God has anointed this man for such a time as this,” Taylor said of Trump. “God says, ‘Do not touch my anointed,’ and Donald Trump is anointed by God and that’s why you saw people literally getting kicked out of the race because they were going after Donald Trump. You’re seeing it in the news media right now. Megyn Kelly was a prime example. She went after Donald Trump in the first debate, she got violently ill that morning and she didn’t even know if she was going to be able to do the debate and that was a warning shot from the Lord saying, ‘Do not touch my anointed.'”

“She did it anyway,” Taylor said, “and, if you notice, her life has never been the same and neither has Fox’s; they’ve had lawsuits, chaos. So that is a sign from God that he is chosen by God and anointed by God for such a time as this.”
