A star candidate for the People’s Party of Canada is spreading word that Maxime Bernier may be the second-coming of an ancient biblical king.
Laura Lynn Tyler Thompson, a former televangelist on the 700 Club Canada and a hardline anti-LGBTQ activist currently running in Red Deer, is telling supporters that the People’s Party leader may be fulfilling a “prophesy” as the modern-day incarnation of a biblical king named “Jehu.”
According to the Old Testament, “Jehu” is an ancient king who seized power after leading a bloody revolt against the evil queen Jezebel.
