The Messianic Mystery of Our Times: Reflections on Trump, Redemption, and the Divine Plan
In this polarized and uncertain era, reducing global events to political battles or ideological differences is tempting. Yet, if we view history through the lens of scripture, prophecy, and divine purpose, we may uncover patterns far richer and more profound than we first imagined. Could the rise of Donald Trump and the extraordinary turbulence of recent years carry echoes of ancient messianic themes?
This week, I listened to Rabbi Mendel Kessin’s perspective on President Trump’s ascendancy to his 2nd term as the President of the United States. Kessin’s position may challenge conventional thinking but also invites us to see current events as part of a cosmic tapestry woven by the Creator. Let’s explore this through the lens of biblical prophecy, the role of Esau, and the process of global redemption, integrating both Christian and Kabbalistic understandings of end-time events, enriched by the profound insights of Rabbi Mendel Kessin.
Messianic Parallels in Modern Politics
Biblical prophecy teaches us that every moment in history is part of a divine process leading to redemption. One such prophecy revealed to Rivka during her pregnancy foretold the eternal tension between Jacob (Israel) and Esau (the nations). This tension, we are told, would culminate in a reversal: “The older will serve the younger” (Genesis 25:23, NIV). Throughout history, Esau—the symbolic progenitor of Rome, Christianity, and Western civilization—has often opposed Jacob. Yet, the sages also envisioned a time when Esau would repent and assist in the redemption of Israel (Malachi 1:2-3, NKJV).
Rabbi Mendel Kessin further elucidates this by suggesting that Esau’s role is not merely adversarial but instrumental in the divine orchestration of redemption. According to Rabbi Kessin, the modern manifestation of Esau—embodied by figures like Donald Trump—catalyzes profound spiritual transformation and global redemption.
Could it be that we are witnessing this transformation today? The figure of Donald Trump, unconventional as he may be, evokes parallels to Esau’s potential for teshuvah (repentance). Like Esau, Trump embodies traits of power, ambition, and worldliness. Yet, his actions—particularly in defense of Israel and his confrontation of global evil—suggest a deeper alignment with Jacob’s mission of Tikkun (rectification). As the prophet Isaiah declares, “But the people who work iniquity shall be broken” (Isaiah 1:26, NKJV), highlighting the divine intervention in rectifying worldly wrongs.
Rabbi Kessin posits that Trump’s rise is not a mere political anomaly but a potential fulfillment of prophecy. He interprets Trump as a "gilgul of Asav,1" a pivotal figure within the prophetic framework who is essential in the battle against global evil forces. This designation underscores Trump’s role in helping the Jewish people confront adversity.
The Poetry of Providence
Consider the irony of Trump’s rise to power. In 2011, during a public roast, then-President Obama mocked Trump in a way that reportedly deeply humiliated him. Insiders claim this moment planted the seed of Trump’s political ambition. The one who sought to ridicule inadvertently set in motion a chain of events that would dramatically alter the political landscape.
This irony is not lost in the larger spiritual narrative. President Obama, who symbolizes much of the progressive globalist agenda, may represent a modern manifestation of Gog, the archetypal antagonist of Israel described in Ezekiel’s prophecies (Ezekiel 38-39). Yet, this very figure catalyzed Trump’s rise—a development that seems almost poetic in its fulfillment of divine irony. As Proverbs 16:9 states, “In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps” (NIV), suggesting a divine hand guiding these events.
Rabbi Kessin emphasizes that such ironic twists indicate a larger, mystical plan. The suppression and subsequent rise of Trump are seen as necessary steps in the divine narrative to prepare the world for the Messianic era. This perspective aligns with the Kabbalistic view that every event, no matter how chaotic, serves a higher purpose in the cosmic order. According to Kessin, Obama’s actions were a divine mechanism to ensure that Trump’s ascent was both unexpected and instrumental in unfolding redemption.
Miracles in the Mundane
Trump’s improbable 2016 victory defied all odds: a man with no political experience battling the Democratic establishment, the media, and even factions within his party. How could such an event transpire without divine orchestration?
This pattern repeated itself in his enduring survival. Despite facing relentless opposition—91 indictments, impeachment trials, and even assassination attempts—Trump has emerged as a figure who embodies resilience. The magnitude of resistance he has faced underscores a deeper spiritual battle, one not merely between Democrats and Republicans but between forces of good and evil. This echoes Ephesians 6:12 (NIV), which reminds us, “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world” (NIV).
Rabbi Kessin’s teachings suggest that Trump’s survival amidst such adversity is a testament to divine protection and the unfolding of a messianic process. These “miracles” in the mundane world signify the shifting tides toward redemption, where resilience in the face of evil is a vital component of the divine plan. Kessin interprets Trump’s ability to withstand political and personal attacks as a manifestation of divine favor, reinforcing his role as an instrument in the cosmic battle between light and darkness.
Divine Demonstration of Power by Overcoming the Progressive Left
A critical aspect of Rabbi Kessin’s esoteric teachings is the concept that God allows evil, which he suggests is embodied by the progressive left, to believe they are winning. This strategy serves a higher purpose: to provide a stage for divine intervention that showcases God's ultimate power and sovereignty. The progressive left created an illusion of dominance through their consolidation of power and dominance in political spheres. However, this perceived triumph is part of a divine plan to amplify the contrast between good and evil, making God’s eventual intervention all the more profound and evident.
Rabbi Kessin draws parallels between this modern scenario and ancient biblical events. Just as God allowed Pharaoh and his forces to believe they were invincible before parting the Red Sea for Israel’s escape, the progressive left’s dominance is a precursor to their ultimate dismantling. This mirrors the Kabbalistic principle that evil must be allowed to flourish to its peak before it can be effectively eradicated, thereby demonstrating God's unrivaled power and justice.
In contemporary terms, the progressive left's dominance heightens the forthcoming divine judgment and redemption. It creates a clear dichotomy, making the forthcoming victory of good unmistakable and reinforcing the belief in a divinely orchestrated world order. This understanding aligns with the Kabbalistic view of the cosmic struggle between light and darkness, where every apparent victory of evil is a setup for an undeniable triumph of good.
The Role of Evil in Redemption
Jewish mysticism teaches that evil serves a paradoxical role in the divine plan. Before it is vanquished, evil is permitted to flourish, revealing its full extent. Only then can the Creator demonstrate His ultimate sovereignty by overturning it. The unprecedented consolidation of power by the progressive left may be a divine allowance for evil to reach its zenith—only to be dismantled spectacularly.
This principle echoes the Exodus narrative. After Moses arrived in Egypt, the suffering of the Israelites intensified. The decree of straw—where slaves were forced to meet impossible quotas without necessary materials—was a direct result of Satanic prosecution (Exodus 5:18-19, NKJV). The Israelites’ suffering, however, ultimately catalyzed their redemption. In our time, global crises such as COVID-19 and the degradation of moral and spiritual values have similarly escalated suffering, perhaps signaling the imminence of a messianic breakthrough.
From a Christian perspective, this aligns with the Book of Revelation, where periods of tribulation are prerequisites for Christ's ultimate victory. As Revelation 13:10 (NIV) states, “If anyone is to go into captivity, into captivity they will go. If anyone is to be killed with the sword, with the sword they will be killed” (NIV), highlighting the necessary trials before redemption.
Rabbi Kessin expands on this by illustrating how modern political and social upheavals mirror the ancient struggles between good and evil. The intensification of evil forces serves to set the stage for a dramatic divine intervention, paving the way for global redemption. He draws parallels between the trials faced by Israel and the contemporary challenges posed by progressive ideologies, suggesting that these are necessary for the eventual triumph of good. According to Kessin, the rise of oppressive political entities is a divine strategy to fully expose evil, thereby enabling its ultimate destruction and the emergence of a purified world.
Trump as a Messianic Instrument
Let us be clear: Trump is not the Messiah. Yet, his role aligns with the messianic process. In Jewish thought, the messianic era unfolds in stages. First, there is the confrontation and defeat of evil. This is the domain of Mashiach ben Yosef, a precursor figure tasked with preparing the world for ultimate redemption. Trump, in his defiance of corruption and advocacy for Israel, appears to fulfill aspects of this archetype.
His mission, however, is not solely about America. Trump acknowledged this in an uncharacteristically reflective moment. In an interview with Dr. Phil McGraw, Trump recounted how a bullet grazed his ear during the incident, stating, "I mean, the only thing I can think is that God loves our country and he thinks we're going to bring our country back." He further speculated, "Maybe it's saving the world."
His actions—defending Israel, confronting Iran, and fostering peace between Arab nations and the Jewish state—suggest a leader who, knowingly or unknowingly, participates in a divinely orchestrated plan.
Rabbi Kessin’s esoteric perspective identifies Trump as a "gilgul of Asav.” This designation underscores Trump’s role in assisting the Jewish people in their confrontation with global evil, aligning with both Christian and Jewish prophetic traditions. According to Rabbi Kessin, Trump embodies the necessary attributes to confront and dismantle the entrenched forces of evil, thereby paving the way for the coming of the Messiah. This role is seen as part of a grander divine plan where political leadership intersects with spiritual destiny, making Trump's actions pivotal in the unfolding of redemption.
Signs of Redemption
The unfolding of these events points to something greater than politics. In Jewish mysticism, the "closing of the window" refers to the final stages before redemption when divine light is almost completely hidden. This concealment allows evil to flourish, but it also heralds the opening of new gates—the gates of messianic light. The Kabbalistic concept of Ein Sof (the infinite) transitioning into manifest reality through divine concealment aligns with the increasing visibility of divine intervention in worldly affairs.
The crushing defeat of the Democratic Party in the recent elections and the triumph of Trump signify that these gates are opening. Evil has reached its apex, and the tide is turning. The world is shifting from chaos to order, from darkness to light.
Rabbi Kessin’s insights highlight the symbolic closure of the "window," marking the transition from an era dominated by evil to one illuminated by messianic light. He interprets Trump’s victories and the corresponding defeats of opposing forces as clear indicators that the divine plan is progressing toward its ultimate fulfillment. The Kabbalistic understanding of redemption involves not just the physical salvation of a nation but a spiritual awakening that transcends political boundaries, ushering in an era of global harmony and divine presence.
A Hopeful Conclusion
What does this mean for us? As truth seekers, we are called to see beyond the surface of current events. History is not random; it is the unfolding of God’s will. Trump’s improbable rise, endurance, and pivotal role in global politics are signs of a deeper process at work. This is not about idolizing a political figure but about recognizing the divine choreography behind world events.
As Paul writes in Romans 8:28 (NIV), “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose” (NIV). Similarly, Kabbalistic teachings emphasize that every occurrence is part of the divine emanation leading to ultimate unity and redemption.
Rabbi Kessin underscores this by illustrating how Trump’s actions align with the divine mission to confront evil and prepare the world for the Messiah. The esoteric understanding bridges the gap between Christian and Kabbalistic eschatology, presenting a unified vision of global redemption. This integration of perspectives offers a profound and multifaceted understanding of current events, suggesting that our times are indeed part of a grand, divine narrative leading toward ultimate redemption and the fulfillment of prophetic mysteries.
As the messianic era draws nearer, let us prepare ourselves—individually and collectively—to be vessels for light, truth, and redemption. The victory over evil begins within each of us. As Micah 6:8 (NIV) instructs, “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (NIV).
May we merit witnessing the final redemption speedily in our days? Amen.

In Kabbalistic theology, gilgul refers to the transmigration or reincarnation of souls, where a soul undergoes multiple lifetimes to achieve spiritual rectification. Rabbi Mendel Kessin posits that President Donald Trump is a gilgul of Esau (Asav), suggesting that Trump's soul may be a partial reincarnation of Esau's, destined to fulfill a specific role in the divine plan.
According to Rabbi Kessin, Esau's descendants evolved into various nations, including Rome and, by extension, Western civilization. He identifies different aspects of Esau's character manifesting in these entities:
Arrogance: Represented by Russia under communism, characterized by atheism and the denial of God.
Fraudulence: Embodied by Europe, which, despite preaching love, has a history of wars and anti-Semitism.
Pleasure-seeking: Associated with America, viewed as the "good part" of Esau.
Rabbi Kessin asserts that in the end times, Esau's positive aspect will repent and assist Jacob (the Jewish people). He interprets Trump's actions, such as recognizing Jerusalem as Israel's capital and supporting Israel against international opposition, as manifestations of this repentance. By aiding Israel, Trump is seen as fulfilling Esau's prophesied role in the Messianic process.
In this framework, Trump's presidency is viewed not merely as a political phenomenon but as a significant step in the unfolding of a divine plan leading toward global redemption.
