Prophetic Deceit: Josiah Johnson Exposes Brother Jeremiah’s Alleged Fabrications
A shocking public feud has erupted between brothers Josiah and Jeremiah Johnson, with Josiah accusing his sibling of fabricating prophetic visions and messages, particularly those involving former President Donald Trump. Once a part of Jeremiah’s ministry, Josiah has grown increasingly disillusioned with his brother’s claims, which have influenced some Charismatic-leaning Christians. Josiah’s concerns culminated in a social media post questioning the integrity of those who manipulate spiritual messages for personal gain, hinting at Jeremiah’s activities.

Jeremiah Johnson’s ministry has touted him as a global prophetic voice, with extensive outreach and influence. However, Josiah’s accusations have shed light on the darker side of his brother’s rise to fame. Their shared upbringing and similar early interests belied a dramatic divergence in their paths, with Jeremiah’s portrayal of their childhood contrasting starkly with Josiah’s claims of abuse and disillusionment. The public dispute escalated when Jeremiah responded to Josiah’s criticisms with a denial, casting his brother’s accusations as slander.
The fallout from Jeremiah’s admitted inaccuracies regarding Trump’s victory has been significant, with considerable backlash from his followers, including death threats and a substantial loss of support. Josiah’s frustration with what he sees as Jeremiah’s manipulation of spiritual authority for fame and political influence led him to sever ties with the ministry. The brothers’ public dispute has sparked a wider conversation about the integrity of prophetic messages and the dangers of manipulation in spiritual leadership.
“Over the last 72 hours, I have received multiple death threats and thousands upon thousands of emails from Christians saying the nastiest and most vulgar things I have ever heard toward my family and ministry. I have been labeled a coward, sellout, a traitor to the Holy Spirit, and cussed out at least 500 times. We have lost ministry partners every hour and counting,” wrote the leader of Jeremiah Johnson Ministries at the time.
He also confessed: “I would like to repent for inaccurately prophesying that Donald Trump would win a second term as the President of the United States. I refuse to blame the saints and say, ‘It didn’t come to pass because they did not pray enough.’ Nor will I proclaim, ‘Donald Trump actually won, so I was right, but now it has been stolen from him. I specifically want to apologize to any believer in whom I have now caused potential doubt concerning the voice of God and His ability to speak to His people. As a human being, I missed what God was saying; however, rest assured, God Himself is NOT a liar and His written Word should always be the foundation and source of our lives as Christians.”
