Synopsis:



As I mention in my 2025 two-part article called "Trump Fiefdom and the Trilateral World", as well as in my 2025 article called "Nuclear States and the Israel-Iran War", in 2018, certain Orthodox Jews who are associated with Israel's Mikdash Educational Center -- which is likewise known as the Temple Institute -- minted commemorative gold coins called the "Temple Coin" which bore the images of both US President Donald Trump, and well-known -- and Biblically prophesied -- Persian king Cyrus the Great. As I point out in other Bill's Bible Basics articles, it was King Cyrus who in fact signed the original edict to liberate the Jewish captives from their Babylonian captivity, after they had completed their Seventy Years of Captivity -- as had been prophesied by the Prophet Jeremiah -- so that they were free to return to Jerusalem.

The minting of these gold coins was done to honor President Trump due to his decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel's eternal capital, and also because he had the American embassy moved from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, much to the dismay of the rest of the nations of the world who don't recognize the city as the legitimate capital of Israel. Furthermore, March of 2019 during the first Trump administration, the United States became the first country to officially recognize the Golan Heights as part of Israel. To date, no other member of the United Nations has formally recognized Israeli sovereignty over the territory. In fact, the international community in large part views the Golan Heights as Israeli-occupied Syrian land. In recognition of what Trump had done, in June of that same year, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu unveiled a very small settlement in the Golan Heights that is known as Trump Heights. President Trump just loves spreading his name around, as we all know.



But that is not all, my friends. On February 26, 2024, the Israel Heritage Foundation also presented President Donald Trump with a silver menorah at his Mar-a-Lago compound in Florida, USA. The menorah commemorates the progress that Mr. Trump has made in forging normalization agreements between Israel and four Arab nations -- those being the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan -- under the Abraham Accords. The Accords continue to be pursued by Mr. Trump's Jewish son-in-law, Jared Kushner. At any rate, on the plaque that is found on the base of the menorah, the inscription states in part "The Israel Heritage Foundation with profound gratitude presents this Covenant of Peace award to the Prince of Peace, Donald J. Trump." The same plaque also contains the following two Bible verses:

"Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace:"


"For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace."


As many Christians will know, we believe that Isaiah 9:6 is a direct prophetic reference to Jesus Christ. However, the Jews are foolishly applying the verse to Donald Trump, which as we all know, is nothing short of blasphemous. A year earlier, on July 10, 2023, at the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey, the Israel Heritage Foundation likewise presented Trump with a silver Torah Crown in a glass box, the Crown of Jerusalem, in honor of his recognizing Jerusalem as the real capital of Israel.

Equally concerning is the fact that certain Orthodox Jews -- some say that it is just the fringe elements who belief this -- even view Mr. Trump as possibly being Mashiach ben Yosef, who is one of two redeemers according to Jewish tradition. This Mashiach ben Yosef will supposedly be a political and military leader who will wage war against the forces of evil which oppose Israel. Similar to the way that Trump is now threatening Iran with regime change? Furthermore, it is said that Mashiach ben Yosef will be instrumental in constructing a third Jewish temple in Jerusalem. The other traditional redeemer is Mashiach ben David, who I discuss in my ten-part series entitled "Who is Mashiach ben David?". So my friends, whether they are fringe elements or not, some of those Jews actually believe all of this nonsense regarding Donald Trump.

Of course, the problem is if Mr. Trump believes it too. Thus far, in observing his latest actions, it looks like perhaps he does. His narcissistic, egotistic attitude seems to always be demanding more attention to himself, as becomes evident by the way he wants to tack his name on everything. It kind of reminds me of how former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein stamped his name on every brick that was used as he endeavored to rebuild the ancient ruins of Babylon, which are located south of Baghdad. Despite having occasional differences of opinion, it seems to me that Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu are very much bosom buddies, as I explain in other articles which you will find listed at the end of this same article. Is this a case of birds of a feather flock together, if you get my drift?

Given all of the previous information, it certainly seems that these misguided Orthodox Jews view President Trump as their political messiah who will help them to construct a third Jewish temple on the summit of Mount Moriah -- a.k.a. the Temple Mount -- in East Jerusalem. As I explain in the article called "Who is Mashiach ben David?", being as they have rejected God's one true Messiah -- that of course being Jesus Christ -- the Orthodox Jews have continued to wait for the past 2,000 years for their messiah. However, unlike Jesus who is the true Messiah who brought us spiritual Redemption and Salvation through His death on the Cross, these Orthodox Jews anticipate the arrival of only a political and military messiah. As I already said, some of them apparently already recognize Donald Trump as being this messiah.

What motivated me to write this new article is the fact that recently, I came across some rather interesting information which helps to provide yet another reason to explain why the Orthodox Jews are so enthralled by Mr. Trump. As some of you may know, and as I have explained before, one of the unique things about the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, which is called the Alef-bet or Aleph-Bet -- being as it is named after its first two letters, Alef and Bet -- is that aside from the fact that all of the letters are consonants, and that Hebrew script is written from right to left, is the fact that each letter also has a numerical value. Thus, each Hebrew glyph can serve as a letter or as a number, as you can see below. This traditional Jewish system of alphanumeric ciphering is referred to as Hebrew Gematria:

ALEPH = 1
BETH = 2
GIMEL = 3
DALET = 4
HE = 5
VAV = 6
ZAYIN = 7
CHETH = 8
TETH = 9
YODH = 10
KAPH = 20
LAMED = 30
MEM = 40
NUN = 50
SAMEKH = 60
AYIN = 70
PE = 80
TSADHE = 90
KOPH = 100
RESH = 200
SHIN = 300
TAV = 400

Regarding vowels, most vowel sounds -- except for "O" (VAV) which acts as a vowel placeholder -- are not used as letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Instead, vowel sounds are designated by dots and dashes under their preceding consonants.

To continue, by adding together the numerical value of each letter in a word, we can determine the numerical value of each entire word. Now this is where it gets interesting. In the Hebrew script, President Donald Trump's name is usually phonetically written and spelled as דונלד טראמפ in Israeli newspapers, such as in Haaretz and Yediot Aharonot and other assorted Israeli publications. Furthermore, the Hebrew form of "Donald Trump" is frequently calculated to have a total numerical value of 424 in Hebrew Gematria. Following is how this numerical value is calculated:

Dalet = 4
Vav = 6
Nun = 50
Lamed = 30
Dalet = 4

Total for "Donald" = 94

Tet = 9
Resh = 200
Aleph = 1
Mem = 40
Fei/pei = 80

Total for "Trump" = 330

Thus, the grand total for "Donald Trump" -- 94 + 330 -- is 424. The reason why this value of 424 is so significant is because of the following. It also just so happens that the Hebrew name or title "Mashiach ben David" -- or "Messiah son of David", which in Hebrew is written as משיח בן דוד -- has the very same numerical value of 424 in Hebrew Gematria. Consider again the following:

Mem = 40
Shin = 300
Yud = 10
Chet = 8
Bet = 2
Nun = 50
Dalet = 4
Vav = 6
Dalet = 4

Grand Total = 424

So, as I said, this similarity in numerical value between "Donald Trump" and "Moshiach ben David" seems to be another reason why some deceived Orthodox Jews have come to believe that American President Donald Trump is their long-awaited political and military messiah. No doubt, now that a second U.S. carrier strike group -- the USS Gerald R. Ford (CVN-78) and accompanying escort ships -- has been ordered to move towards the Middle East -- specifically the Arabian Sea/Gulf region -- to join the U.S. aircraft carrier the USS Abraham Lincoln which is already stationed there, it seems even more likely that if President Donald Trump goes ahead and engages in yet another attempt at regime change -- as he recently did in Venezuela this past January -- by using U.S. military might to remove Ayatollah Ali Hosseini Khamenei and the IRGC -- Iranian Republican Guard Corps -- from power in Iran, the Orthodox Jews will become even more convinced that he is in fact their long-awaited messiah. And so goes the deception.

Before closing this article, let me just mention that while I have shared all of this information with you -- all of which you can very easily verify for yourself by conducting your own online research -- please understand that as I explain in other articles which are listed at the end of this same article, I do NOT believe and I am NOT convinced that Donald Trump is the biblical Antichrist, the Beast, Mashiach ben Josef, Mashiach ben David, or whatever name or title you may choose to use. I have simply shared this information with you so that you can understand why some of the extremist Jews believe these things, and why quite a few deceived Christians are likewise convinced that Donald Trump is the Antichrist.

With these thoughts, I will bring this article to a close. It is my hope that you've found it informative and enlightening, and I pray that it has been a blessing in your life as well.
