Doomsday Visions: A pastor claims God warned of a Trump assassination and a ten-magnitude quake that could tear the heartland apart
Two visions, one nation at stake. Brandon Dale Biggs, an Oklahoma pastor, says God showed him a future of unprecedented peril for America: a ten-magnitude earthquake along the New Madrid fault and an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. He says the warning came with a clear deadline—a three‑day window after a controversial move to redraw Jerusalem’s borders—when people must flee or face catastrophe. The claim, shared publicly in 2024 and resurfacing as Trump pushes ahead with a peace plan in the region, reads like prophecy and a warning rolled into one. In his telling, the danger is not distant rumor but imminent warning. The message, he says, is personal and urgent, aimed at a nation that could be unprepared for a sudden, sweeping disaster.

The New Madrid prophecy: a three-day window to flee after a colossal quake
Biggs described the New Madrid quake as the lead event in a chain reaction. He warned that the initial quake would trigger a 6.5‑magnitude aftershock that would ripple from Texarkana, Texas, to Oklahoma. He recalled the devastation in the vision: “It was so big, there were 1,800 people who died along that stretch. The houses on cinder blocks were completely shaken to the foundation; they just fell.” He warned there would be a three‑day window after the earth’s shaking for people to flee, a tight deadline to escape urban centers and critical infrastructure. The forecast also connected the quake to a broader, politically charged moment—an alleged link between catastrophe and the window of opportunity around Jerusalem’s governance debates.
Prophecy in action: the Trump assassination forecast and the real-world shooting that followed
Biggs claimed to have foreseen an assassination attempt on Trump, describing a bullet that passed through the president-elect’s ear in his vision. He shared the revelation in a video posted in April 2024, noting that three months later, Matthew Crooks, 20, fired shots at Trump, grazing his ear. In the same segment, Biggs said he saw red waves in Michigan and Oklahoma during the 2024 election—the events he contends later matched in those states. The claims gained renewed visibility as Trump formally solidified the Israel–Hamas peace plan following the release of the remaining Israeli hostages in Gaza, with Biggs suggesting the visions still point toward a larger national reckoning.
Science vs. prophecy: how likely is a ten-magnitude quake? History, odds, and the limits of the New Madrid fault
The New Madrid Seismic Zone unleashed a trio of powerful quakes in 1811–1812 that rattled the central Mississippi River Valley. The NMSZ runs about 150 miles through Missouri, Arkansas, Tennessee, Kentucky, and Illinois. Experts say a ten‑magnitude quake is virtually impossible in this region: the fault is mid‑continental, not a coastal subduction zone, and a ten‑magnitude event would require a fault system far longer than the NMSZ. The strongest quake ever recorded is the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile, magnitude 9.5. Scientists say a major modern quake is possible—typically magnitude 6 or higher within the next 50 years—but a true 10.0 rupture remains extraordinarily unlikely. Still, Biggs insisted in the video that he saw Chinook helicopters bringing aid, flying so low they shook the houses: “They were flying so low that they were shaking the houses.”
From prophecy to politics: Trump in Israel as old warnings resurface
As the Israel–Hamas peace plan moved forward and the remaining hostages were released, the prophecy resurfaced in public discourse. In his Knesset speech, Trump spoke of peace and rebuilding Gaza, telling Israeli politicians, “You’ve won. Now it is time to translate these victories against terrorists on the battlefield into the ultimate prize of peace and prosperity for the entire Middle East.” He urged Palestinians to turn away from violence and focus on rebuilding their people, saying, “After tremendous pain and death and hardship, now is the time to concentrate on building their people up instead of trying to tear Israel down.” Biggs ties these events to his warning about the New Madrid quake, suggesting a chain of events that could shock the nation’s heartland and force a reckoning about faith, power, and what Americans will endure in a year that already feels unsettled.
