Right Wing Watch summarizes Pastor Johnny Enlow’s prophetic interpretation of a … college football score:
Johnny Enlow, a right-wing pastor and QAnon conspiracy theorist, appeared on the Elijah Streams YouTube channel Thursday, where he declared that the outcome of the college football national championship game was a prophetic sign that President Donald Trump will remain in office.
Despite the fact that Trump’s term is set to end in less than a week, Enlow claims to have found a message from God hidden in the final score of Monday’s national championship game between Alabama and Ohio State, which Alabama won by a score of 52-24.
Enlow said that when the game began, he fully expected the final score to contain the number 45, which he said would be a prophetic sign regarding Trump, who is the 45th president of the United States.
Though there was no 45 in the final score, Enlow nevertheless found prophetic significance in the score when he saw it displayed on ESPN as “Ohio State 24 – 52 Alabama.”
To Enlow, the number 45 surrounded by two 2s was a clear sign from God that Trump is going to serve a second term.
And no doubt Enlow would be enraged if I suggested that his God is really rather pathetic.
And I’ll say it’s true. If the Divine wanted Trump to win, then it should have come down in all its glory, demonstrated a few miracles, and stated its desire. Then we could have had a lovely discussion about why this particular Divine hates freedom.
Fucking encode that desire in a college football score? That is really pathetic.
So I’ll just state the other obvious fact: Enlow is just a grifter. He wiggles a hand over here, says something outrageous, and plunges his other hand into the pockets of the faithful while they’re busy being in delirium over their pastor’s secret connection to the Divine.
I wonder how many secretly wonder why the Divine is so mysterious – and then put that question firmly away because its answer might endanger their position in the faith community.
