The ‘King of the Jews’ Book

My channel can be a little boring at times. I tend to not go into the weird and crazy things too often, but instead lean toward a more straight-up discussion of current events as they relate to Bible prophecy. Sometimes, though, I just have to talk about crazy things, and this is one of those times.

As a lot of us already know, there are quite a few strange coincidences and odd facts related to Trump over the years, as his name has seemed to be a part of our culture going back a long time before his even becoming president.

That matters because another VERY odd coincidence has now come to light – involving Trump – and this one is so crazy it just might leave you shaking your head in disbelief.

Now, previously I’ve covered other strange facts involving Trump over the years, such as:

• His mother having the name of Mary and his father having the name of Frederick Christ Trump, so his parents actually had the names of Mary and Christ.
• The 1874 book called “The Odd Trump” in which the protagonist was named Trump and he had a friend and sometimes rival named Clinton.
• The 1889 children’s book called “Travels and Adventures of Little Baron Trump” written by Ingersoll Lockwood, who also penned a sequel in 1893 entitled “Baron Trump’s Marvelous Underground Journey.”
• Ingersoll Lockwood would also pen another book called “1900 – or the Last President”, which described a chaotic scene in New York city after the election, in which a mob attacked a Fifth Avenue hotel at an address where Trump Tower now stands.
• There were the numerous similarities between Donald Trump and Damien Thorne from the “Omen” movies.
• The “Back to the Future II” movie character named Biff being based on Trump.
• The “Devil’s Advocate” movie having scenes filmed inside Trump’s penthouse in Trump Tower.
• The episode of the TV series “Trackdown” about a conman named Trump wanting to build a wall.
• There was Donald Trump’s grandmother dying on June 6th, 1966, from which Donald inherited her estate. Her name was Elizabeth Christ Trump, and she was the one who incorporated the Trump family business that Donald took over after her death. She was considered the matriarch of the Trump family.
• There is Trump putting his mark on properties all around the world – a mark that so happens to eerily resemble a Christian cross.
• There was the strange Nostradamus prophecies about a false trump concealing madness, and the “false message of a rigged election.”
• There are sketches of futuristic aircraft drawn by artist Charles Dellschau, a Prussian immigrant who came to the US in 1850 and died in 1923. The sketches mysteriously contained the word ‘TRUMP’ and even featured the number 47. 

And there are actually many more examples, but here is the latest one, and thanks to a friend of the channel for mentioning it, and also credit to the “Wretched Watchman” channel for his video on this a couple of days ago. This story was also covered in a few TikTok videos recently, as well.

First, let’s go back in time. The year is 1979 and quite a number of things were happening in the world in 1979 that seem to still be echoing even today.

Among them was the Iranian Revolution. The Shah of Iran had fled in January of 1979, and Ayatollah Khomeini seized power in February, transforming Iran into an Islamic Republic.

That was quickly followed by the Iran Hostage Crisis, as militants seized the U.S. Embassy in Tehran in November, beginning a 444-day standoff.

There was also the 1979 oil crisis, which followed the Iranian Revolution, as oil production dropped, doubling prices and causing worldwide shortages.

And there was the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty signed in March of that year, marking the very first peace treaty between Israel and an Arab nation.

Amid all these major stories throughout the world in 1979, a novel was also published called “King of the Jews – A Novel of the Holocaust”, written by Leslie Epstein. The book has been widely acclaimed in reviews over the years. For example:

“Mature, brilliantly sustained, thoroughly engrossing.” – Newsweek

“The best book yet to be written on the Holocaust. A superb novel.” – San Francisco Chronicle

“Remarkable. A lesson in what artistic restraint can do to help us imagine the dark places in our history.” – The New York Times Book Review

But here is what’s really strange about this 1979 novel called “King of the Jews.”

The book was written by a man named Leslie Epstein, but more specifically, his full name is Leslie Donald Epstein. This is a picture of Leslie Donald Epstein, and as you can see he eerily resembles Jeffrey Epstein.

In Leslie Donald Epstein’s book, the protagonist is a character named I.C. Trumpelman, with the I.C. standing for Israel Chaim.

The book is about how Trumpleman is chosen as the head of a Judenrat, which was a Nazi-imposed administrative body in German-occupied European ghettos, forcing Jewish leaders to implement Nazi orders, including selecting victims for deportation.

The very first chapter of “King of the Jews” is entitled The Golden Age and as anyone who has even partially paid attention to Donald Trump since his reelection knows, he has claimed to have brought America into the Golden Age.

Here is how Trumpelman is described according to the book jacket:

“King of the Jews is the story of one such man, I.C. Trumpleman, who used his horrifying power to set up an authoritarian regime in the ghetto. His picture appeared on money and stamps. His word was law. Alternately conman, charismatic leader, buffoon, and dictator. Trumpelman strides across these pages with extraordinary vigor. He is King of the Jews, his marriage attended by Nazi officials, his organizational genius astounding, his will determining life or death for each of his subjects. Even those few who survived his reign could not decide whether he was a hero who helped his ghetto survive longer than any other, or the betrayer of his people. Sentimental about children, ruthless and vain, part savior and part executioner, he is, finally, a tragic man, a figure of apparently inexhaustible vitality ruling, with an iron hand, a kingdom of death.”

The character of I.C. Trumpleman was based on Chaim Rumkowski, head of the Judenrat of the Łódź ghetto in Poland during World War II. Before the German invasion of Poland, Rumkowski was the head of a Jewish orphanage between 1925 and 1939.

This seems to have been very convenient for Rumkowski, as according to Holocaust survivor Dr. Edward Reicher, Rumkowski was described as having an “unhealthy interest in children.”

So we have a man named Leslie Donald Epstein, who resembles Jeffrey Epstein, who writes a book with a character named I.C. Trumpleman that has the character traits of Donald J. Trump.

The character I.C. Trumpleman was based on Chaim Rumkowski, who himself was said to have an unhealthy interest in children. But this went even further, as Rumkowski would help convince other Jews in the ghetto to hand over their children to the Nazis.

On German orders, Rumkowski delivered a speech on September 4, 1942, entitled “Give Me Your Children”, in which he pleaded with the Jews in the ghetto to give up children 10 years of age and younger, as well as the elderly over 65, so that others might survive.

To make things even stranger, Leslie Donald Epstein’s father was Phillip G. Epstein and his uncle was Julius J. Epstein, and those two men were the writers of Casablanca, the classic movie from 1942 starring Humphrey Bogart.

That’s odd because another pedophile named John Casablancas was connected to both Jeffrey Epstein and to Donald Trump. Casablancas was the founder of Elite Model Management, and has been widely credited with creating the so-called “super model.”

His connection to Jeffrey Epstein was through allegations that he facilitated access for Epstein to a teenage model in 1990. A 2019 lawsuit alleged that Casablancas sent a 15-year-old girl to a private New York residence for a casting call, where she was assaulted by Epstein.

For his part, Trump was involved in judging beauty contests run by Casablancas in 1991 and 1992, at a time when Trump was 45 years of age. I’ve spoken about this before, but from these pictures you can see how VERY young these girls were in those contests.

A couple of years later, Donald Trump would sign his own daughter Ivanka onto Elite Model Management. Ivanka at that time was 15 years old.

Finally, the title of the book “King of the Jews” is very interesting, as the video on Wretched Watchman’s channel pointed out. Donald Trump was awarded the Crown of Jerusalem by the Israel Heritage Foundation.

In addition, a year later he was presented another award called the “Covenant of Peace Award to the Prince of Peace.” I covered this in some older videos from back then, but it is remarkable how these two awards didn’t seem to set off any alarm bells with Evangelical Christians.

So what do we make of all of this? Is it just another example of the “collective unconscious” – the part of our unconscious mind that is common to all humans? Is it all just coincidence, or even predictive programming?

Personally, I’m not a big believer in the predictive programming theory, which alleges that movies, TV shows and books are used by the elite to psychologically prepare the public for future events.

The reason I say that is because estimates are that more than 1 million feature-length movies that have been made to date, and more than 150 million books that have been published, in addition to hundreds of thousands and even millions of TV shows.

On other words, whatever event happens in the world today, we’re absolutely going to find it referenced previously in the media at some point in history. That is simply because there is SO much already in books and movies, that just about any event would have been already covered.

Having said that, Trump’s name appearing in so many books and movies is a bit different, as his surname name is fairly rare. As of 2016 data, there were only approximately 4,700 to 4,800 people with the last name “Trump” in the United States.

To put that in perspective, the surname “Clinton” was almost four times more common, with nearly 16,000 Americans bearing that name during this time. In the 2000 US Census, Trump was ranked as the 8,357th most popular surname.

In addition, those strange references to someone named Trump in media over the years are all the more remarkable because Donald J. Trump also lines up with how the Bible describes the Antichrist.

By comparison, if someone such as Obama lined up with the biblical Antichrist, we would find very few – if any – references in older media to a character named Obama – let alone a character named Obama who also had traits similar to Barack Obama.

My take on this is that all of these references to Trump in older media are much more than a simple coincidence. There is something else going on here.

It’s as if these older books and movies and other media are picking up on a sort of undercurrent about a figure specifically named Trump, and he has characteristics that strangely mirror the Donald J. Trump of today.

Perhaps the reason that there are so many odd coincidences involving Trump over the years might just be so that Christians realize that there is something much more to him than meets the eye.

So that as more and more people become aware of all these strange references to him, they just might begin to ask themselves “Could Donald J. Trump be the Antichrist”? ♦
