More than five years ago, author and Christian expositor Tom Horn sat down with Gary Stearman on Prophecy Watchers and revealed what many considered explosive—perhaps even premature—claims about Donald Trump, a rising Sanhedrin and a coming Third Temple.
Today, with Trump re-elected as president and Israel embroiled in a multifront war, the interview is not just relevant—it’s prophetic.
Horn recounted a private, high-level meeting between two Orthodox rabbis, Donald Trump, Jared Kushner and members of the president’s faith council. “These rabbis are in the ear of Donald Trump and Jared Kushner,” Horn said, “specifically to let Trump know that he won the election against all odds because God led him to that point so that he would be… a King Cyrus-like agent.”
The purpose? To pave the way for the building of the Third Temple in Jerusalem.

The topic, once speculative, is now front and center. Israel’s conflict has extended beyond Gaza, with tensions escalating around the Temple Mount—an area Horn noted would play a central role in a prophetic global shift. “Netanyahu got up and… referred to Donald Trump as fulfilling prophecy,” he said. “He said the Temple Mount is in our hands.”
The Temple Mount has once again become the most contested piece of land on earth, as the terror attack on October 7, 2023, demonstrated.
With calls for control to shift from Jordan to Saudi Arabia—as Horn mentioned was part of Trump’s earlier peace initiative—the groundwork appears laid for the next prophetic chapter. “President Trump is advancing a prophetic process that will usher in… the rebuilding of the Third Temple,” read the Sanhedrin’s official proclamation quoted in Horn’s interview.
Horn warned that this move could become a trigger for the rise of the Antichrist. “The Antichrist will stand in the temple of God showing himself that he is God,” he said. “There’s only one way that could happen—you have to have the building of a third temple.”
In light of recent headlines and renewed momentum behind Jerusalem’s prophetic destiny, Horn’s words echo with sobering weight. What once seemed like speculative commentary is now unfolding on the world stage.
