I can’t say as how I’m surprised by this. QAnon was simply too jazzed with the concept of a July 4 reinauguration — is that even a word? — for their hero, so it makes sense that a little bit of last minute thrashing is taking place. As of today, the latest prophecy is that June 23 is when Joe Biden and his administration will be run out of Dodge by the military and Trump will return. So that would mean that we’re still on for the big bash on July 4, the big party and inauguration that the QAnoners so desperately wish to see.
Here’s the prophecy. If you were expecting a guy with a beard and a long robe, carrying tablets, forgive us, we can’t oblige and do it the classy way. All we’ve got to share is this doofus breaking traffic safety laws, to all appearances.
Self-proclaimed "prophet" Jeff Jansen prophesied that the military would remove Biden from office and reinstall Trump by the end of April. That didn't happen, so now he has moved the date to the end of June. https://t.co/8YTnQ5dfS1 pic.twitter.com/x12tLHS9Zm

He claims he’s from Global Fire Ministries, but he is not. Jansen’s wife is running that show now, since he left her and the eight kids high and dry and left to pursue “his own desires.”
“Due to a pattern of making poor moral choices, and bad coping mechanisms, character flaws became obvious which disqualified Jeff from New Testament leadership. His lifestyle in the home, traveling on the road, and in the House of God, has fallen below Biblical standards laid out for those in leadership. He has been confronted concerning these flaws numerous times over a period of time,” the ministry said in a May 5 statement.
“Rather than submit to the process of healing and restoration, Jeff recently made an intentional decision to leave his wife and family to pursue his own desires.”
While asking supporters for prayers, the ministry also explained that “any pursuit of further ministry on Jeff’s behalf is not under the umbrella and blessing of Global Fire Ministries.”
It’s pretty bad when your own right-wing nut ministry scrambles to distance themselves from you.
We’ll see what happens, Pastor, the date is on the calendar. All of the dates are on the calendar, the Second Coming Of Trump, the Revelation To the Supreme Court, the Ascendance of Mike Flynn to Chief Justice, all of them. We can’t wait for each day to dawn, or maybe yawn would be a better word to use, as these prophecies come and go like fruit flies.
So the wife got the kids AND the business in the divorce? Nice! As for this latest prophecy, I treat it with the same disdain I treat any infantile fantasy like this. Grant Morrison put it best: “Doomsday is cancelled until further notice.”
I’m reminded of the old Beyond the Fringe skit-End of the World.
This never worked for the millenarians, who said the world would end or Jesus would return on x, y, or z date. Why should we believe them now?

When the prophecy fails to be true, they either reschedule it (“we missed a factor in our calculation”) or deny that they ever provided a date. The true believers will stick with them; the rest will quietly disappear and deny that they ever believed it in the first place.
Trump is still trying to become the Antichrist.
I wonder if the desires he is pursuing run afoul of Leviticus?
