Prominent GOP candidates in the 2022 midterms are drawing support from people claiming to be "prophets" channeling the will of God.
On Saturday, The Washington Post reported on the growing trend that includes people like Lance Wallnau, who claimed in 2015 Donald Trump was "anointed" by God to be president.
"In July, Wallnau prayed over Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) before a cheering Atlanta arena audience," the newspaper reported. "By early September, he was at a conference outside Colorado Springs with Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO). And, a few days after that, here he was in the suburbs of Harrisburg, PA., for GOP gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano, whom he compared with George Washington at Valley Forge."
The newspaper says Wallnau's campaigning is part of a recent trend.

The 19th century was full of cults which predicted the date Christ was to return. They dissipated when their prophecy didn't happen.
