Oklahoma Pro-Israel Candidate Claims Antichrist Will Be Jewish, Sparking Concern Among Jewish Voters

Jackson Lahmeyer, a prominent pro-Israel pastor and founder of Pastors for Trump, is the leading candidate in Oklahoma’s 1st Congressional District primary. With endorsements from President Trump, House Speaker Mike Johnson, and House Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Lahmeyer has gained significant traction against nine other contenders. Known for his strong stance against “sharia law,” Lahmeyer has built a national profile by advocating for policies to prevent its influence in the United States.

Lahmeyer recently addressed allegations of infidelity, stating that the issue was resolved privately with his wife, Kendra, through prayer and counsel. Oklahoma’s 1st Congressional District, which includes Tulsa, hosts a significant Jewish community and organizations like the Schusterman Family Philanthropies. Despite the community’s growth, representatives from the Jewish Federation of Tulsa have refrained from commenting on his candidacy.

A contentious aspect of Lahmeyer’s platform is his interpretation of biblical prophecy, which he claims predicts that the Antichrist will be a political leader of Jewish descent. This assertion, made during a church livestream, has raised concerns among Jewish voters about rising antisemitism. In response to a post by Lahmeyer suggesting the Antichrist would be Jewish, a Jewish supporter expressed alarm, highlighting the increasing threat of antisemitism and concern for future generations.

Lahmeyer’s views have sparked a broader conversation about the intersection of religious beliefs and political rhetoric. As the primary approaches, the community and his supporters are weighing the implications of his candidacy, mindful of the biblical call to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:39) and to “speak the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15).
