Last night I read a Web post about a Benny Hinn prophecy at one of his crusades in July 2000.  I have no independent confirmation, but Hinn reportedly said six months ago:

1.  The next Presidency will be the last.
2.  The next President will be a born-again Christian.
3.  The Lord will make His final visitation during the next Presidency.
4.  The next President will be George W. Bush.
5.  You can vote for whomever you wish, but God has already cast His vote.

I know that Benny Hinn is controversial to some.  However, while theatrical (as are most preachers to some extent), I know he is a man of God who preaches Christ crucified and resurrected.  I also know he strongly moves in the gift of healing given to the church in 1 Corinthians 12:9, but I do not know that he is a prophet.  Of course, one does not have to be a prophet to prophesy (1 Corinthians 14:31).  As we should, judge the prophecy for yourself.

Before his victory speech last night, we heard that George W. Bush called for a prayer meeting at his church.  On network TV this morning, it was reported that on Bush's first day as President-elect, the first is thing he is going to do is attend a church service for 45 minutes, and the theme is "Prayer for Hope."  Nice way to start!  Let's keep him in prayer, as the spiritual strongholds opposing him are powerful.

Hinn's reported reference to a "final visitation" is compatible with what thousands, perhaps millions, of all denominations all over the world are sensing from the many signs of the times.
