Bible Predicts Trump Fall Kermit Zarley

This book is mostly a collection of posts the author wrote on his Kermit Zarley Blog about Donald Trump's presidency as it was happening. From the beginning, Zarley thought Trump was very arrogant, a big liar, unfit to be president, and a danger to democracy. Since Kermit is a lifelong evangelical Christian, he also was alarmed that Trump's political base consisted of so many evangelicals. It was causing people to equate evangelicalism with the Republican Party and its Trumpism. In contrast, the author posted on his blog on May 20, 2016, "I think Donald Trump is a big bag of hot air ready to blow up like the Hindenburg blimp if he becomes the U. S. president."

This book is even more prescient since Zarley often applied biblical proverbs and sayings of Jesus to Trump during his presidency which were predictions that came true of him. The main one was, "Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall" (Proverbs 16.18). Kermit concludes that Trump's incitement to insurrection that resulted in the Capitol riot and his two, unprecedented House impeachments represent a disgraceful downfall verifying that "every word of God proves true" (Proverbs 30.5).
