President Donald Trump is in a deeper hole heading into Election Day than he was four years ago, the Politico website reports. The final polls released on Monday show Democrat Joe Biden ahead in enough swing states to win.
At least one person begs to differ.
His name is Rabbi Meir Turnheim, a Chabad chossid from the Israeli city of Lod, who predicts the ballot result based on alphabetical calculations of words in the Torah reading on the day or week of the election.
Who will win the US presidential election on Tuesday, November 3? “With Hashem’s help, Trump will win,” says Turnheim who works as a sofer stam, scribe of Torahs, Tefillin and Mezuzahs.
“Trump’s name is hinted 8 times in this week’s Parsha of Yayeira,” he says. “The number 8 is above nature and that is why, despite all the polls, he will be the one who will win this time again.”
Turnheim claims to have accurately predicted the results of 22 national elections in Israel, the United States and other counties. His first successful prediction was the unexpected victory of Benjamin Netanyahu as prime minister in 1996.
In the 2016 presidential elections, Turnheim called to for Trump against former First Lady and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Polls at the time pointed to a comfortable win by Clinton.
Turnheim says that that election was a way tighter battle than today. “In the Parsha then you saw in the pesukim the great and close way between the candidates,” he says. “Today, the victory of Trump over Biden is seen way more clearer.”
Asked whether the race will be settled immediately after Election Day, Turnheim said: “a victory is a victory. Whether they will know the victor on Wednesday, that isn’t something I can know. What is written in the pesukim in the Torah that is what will happen.”
He based his prediction on Breishis 18:1–22:24 in Chapter 19 in the passages 1, 9, 11, 12, 15, 17, 19, and 20. The words that are written in this chapter are as follows:
טראמפ יעלה וינצח – Trump will arise and be victorious.
(טראמפ יעלה וינצח (פעם שניה בפסוק הבא – (The same words appear in the next passuk.)
דונלד טראמפ ינצח/טראמפ ינצח את גו ביידן – Donald Trump will be victorious/ Trump will win Joe Biden.
טראמפ ינצח את ביידן – Trump will win Biden.
טראמפ ינצח ויהיה נשיא ארהב – Trump will win and be the President of the United States.
(טראמפ ינצח ויהיה נשיא ארהב (פעם שניה בפסוק הבא – (The same words appear in the next passuk)
דולנד טראמפ ינצח את גו ביידן ויהיה נשיא – Donald Trump will win Joe Biden and will be the President.
טראמפ הוא המנצח. הוא יהיה הנשיא – Trump is the winner. He will be the President.
אמן כן יהי רצון
I must have not been paying attention in Chitas. I don’t remember these pesukim
Yes, you haven’t.
😉
They are not actually in the Torah. They are like every 3rd letter etc.
I am very uncomfortable with seeing people doing this nonsense with the Torah. No doubt that the Torah does not saying this things and no reason to think that this guy knows what and how hashem is going to run the world. Not long ago we saw all of the ‘Nevi’im’ who predicted according to the Torah that the Corona virus is coming as a punishment for the goyim who eat sea food etc. And will not come to Israel, and no one jew will get infected, or some other ‘Tsadikim’ who taught us that the Torah says that every… Read more »
I want to believe but am I lacking in Emunah if I find these types of predictions far fetched?
Seems good enough for me. Maybe hold off on voting for Trump out of faith. Me, I like pushing my faith a little bit, so I’ll vote against Trump just to see if the nevuah still works.
Can’t wait to see the comments on this article after 11pm tonight.
Not trying to be negative, but 22 correct predictions out of how many predictions total?
And trump and family all know that brochos come through the Jews and certainly through the are. E
You do realize that half his stuff can be interpreted the other way
Cracking up, too funny
??
You really want to know. Why and what will happen The reason that this corona was sent to Europe and America was because of same gender marriage. We see the mabul happened 4100 years ago as the Midrash rabbah bereishis 26 states. Also the gemorrah Chullin 92b states that nations who make marriages between two males have no right to exist. Rabbi meir Mezuz in Israel stayed way back in the beginning that it was because of the gay parades in Jerusalem. What’s interesting is that the yearly planned parade was canceled due to corona. Then in August all cases… Read more »
But also has to do with chilul shabbos. The lockdown in israel stopped public chilul shabbos. When they opened everything up and brought back chilul shabbos the cases went back up. Now they still havent opened the restaurants and night clubs that were open shabbos so cases are down for now. Bible code says the virus wont be defeated by trump or biden but by tshuvah
Wow. That was . . . interesting. Definitely one way of looking at things
You didn’t need to tell us.
It was evident from the comment.
I, too, did some alphabetical calculations, and discovered some interesting predictions of my own: 1) Over the next few months, the day will get colder and shorter. The dark will grow, and the skies turn gray. But not to fear: come February/March time, the days will begin to lengthen and the weather warm. 2) There will be seven days to this week. And while it’s not certain, it seems the same will be true for next week as well. 3) I also saw something about prancing geese and flying horses terrorizing the streets. I may have read that wrong, though.… Read more »
Good point! Yup probably 7 days next week ;p
Bible code according to rabbi glazerson predicted trump winning and gave the date and year of the election. This year bible code gave a warning of what will happen if biden wins. That we have obama running the show again. Bible code said we must have tshuva. Wasnt clear like last time. Its dependent on tshuvah
I’d be very cautious about buying Stam from a sofer whose yiras shamayim consists of fortune telling and deriving benefit from psukim.
I learn Chitas diligently every single day without fail, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHERE THESE PESSUKIM COME FROM? I haven’t noticed them…
I believe the pesuskoim are the numerical value of the words written above.
My mother-in-law used to look at pregnant women, and from the shape of her belly she predicted whether the woman was carrying a boy or a girl. Amazingly, she was right half the time.
!!
can this rabbi be so kind and predict the lottery numbers
It’s gematria. Not the actual verses themselves stating it.
GAMBLING WITH THE INTEGRITY OF THE TORAH IS NOT A GOOD IDEA
Exactly
So now what?
trump win 2020
!!!
A random Joe or Shmoe cant just predict things using torah. What does he say now that Biden won?!
Trump can still fight it in court!
I wish to be next to you when the world finds out that trump will win!
Did you end up seeing his reaction after trump won? Oh wait…
looks like he lost his touch
its not over yet, the media does not elect the president, the people do. its not over till its over.
