March 24, 2019 "Information Clearing House" -  In an unusually frank look at the theology underpinning US policy in the Middle East, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, during his visit to Israel said he believes that it is “possible” that God sent President Trump to Earth as a “savior” to protect Israel from Iran, adding “I am confident that the Lord is at work here.”

This is not the first time the Trump Administration has tried to pin a divine endorsement on Trump, with Press Secretary Sarah Sanders previously saying that God is the one who wanted Trump to be president in the first place.

Pompeo tried to compare Trump favorably with the biblical Queen Esther, a Persian imperial queen who convinces her husband to rescue the Jews from Haman. This comes amid Israel’s Purim holiday, commemorating exactly this religious event.
