The Shocking Parallels Between King Jehu and President Donald Trump—Is History Repeating Itself?

RALEIGH, N.C. - Feb. 5, 2025 - PRLog -- King Jehu, a military commander, led a brutal purge to cleanse Israel of child sacrifice and immorality. Likewise, in his first term, President Donald Trump appointed supreme court justices who overturned part of Roe v. Wade, ending abortion on demand in parts of the country. In his return to office, Trump has taken sweeping action to undo policies of the previous administration, especially those related to sexuality and morality.

Is history repeating itself?

Jehu's rise began with a prophet anointing him to strike down Ahab's house (2 Kings 9:1-10). Similarly, Trump won reelection largely due to Christians who believe Jesus is the Messiah and Israel is the homeland of the Jewish people.

On January 20, 2025, the president signed an omnibus executive order rescinding 78 Biden administration actions, including diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies. Many see this as a direct attack on the LGBT community.

CLEANSING A BROKEN SYSTEM

Jehu quickly eliminated threats. He confronted and killed King Joram, son of Ahab, and mortally wounded King Ahaziah of Judah (2 Kings 9:14-29). Likewise, Trump moved aggressively, dismantling sanctuary city protections, reinstating "Remain in Mexico," and classifying cartels as terrorist groups.

Jehu ordered Jezebel, Israel's "wicked" queen, thrown from a window by eunuchs. Dogs devoured her remains, fulfilling prophecy (2 Kings 9:30-37). Trump, in his first weeks back, fired inspectors general, removed Democratic members from oversight boards, and revoked security clearances for former officials.

DESTROYING THE OLD GUARD

Jehu ensured no remnant of Ahab's house remained. He orchestrated the beheading of Ahab's seventy sons and executed officials, priests, and loyalists (2 Kings 10:1-14). Trump, reflecting a similar purge, dismantled DEI programs, removed key figures from intelligence and federal agencies, and initiated mass deportations.

To eliminate those who supported child sacrifices, Jehu deceived Baal's prophets, luring them into a grand ceremony before ordering their execution and destroying their temple (2 Kings 10:18-28). Though not as severe, Trump withdrew from the Paris Agreement and the World Health Organization, eliminating globalist policies he argued weakened U.S. sovereignty.

In his third week in office, Trump proposed a U.S. takeover of Gaza and suggested deploying troops to return peace to Israel.

LEGACY OF FORCEFUL REFORM

Jehu's reign, though zealous, was incomplete—he allowed worship of Jeroboam's golden calves, limiting his success (2 Kings 10:29-36). Trump, in his second term, faces legal challenges, opposition from bureaucracies, and resistance to policies such as ending birthright citizenship and mass deportations.

Both Jehu and Trump emerged as disruptors, purging "sin" from the land and restoring order. But does radical change guarantee success? As history watches, the parallels between the warrior-king and the modern president remain striking.
