A petition is calling on Liberty University's Cinematic Arts department to abandon plans to create a feature film that focuses on a former firefighter's prophecy about the election of President Donald Trump.

According to The Christian Post, the film, titled "The Trump Prophecy," is part of a spring semester film project by 56 students and staff members from the university's Cinematic Arts department.

The movie will focus on the prophecies of former firefighter Mark Taylor, who claims that God revealed to him in 2011 that Trump would be elected president. The prophecy was reportedly chronicled in Taylor's book titled "The Trump Prophecies: The Astonishing True Story of the Man Who Saw Tomorrow... and What He Says Is Coming Next."

The petition calls on the Cinematic Arts department to cancel the project, saying the film could "reflect very poorly on all Liberty students." The campaign, which has been signed by more than 1,800 people as of May 29, further argues that Taylor's prophecies "do not align with the Bible's message."

The feature film was produced by Rick Eldridge's ReelWorks Studios, which was also instrumental in producing a documentary based on the book "Four Blood Moons," by Pastor John Hagee.

A budget of about $2 million was reportedly allocated for the project. The movie, which will be shown in over 1,000 theatres nationwide on Oct. 2 and Oct. 4, also recounts a movement of prayer that supposedly helped Trump get elected in 2016.

"I hope it reflects an understanding that when people come together in prayer, how valuable that is not only for the people that are praying but for what they are praying for," Stephan Schultze, who serves as the executive director of the school's Cinematic Arts Department, told The Christian Post.

"They have come together in the recognition that those prayers have value and build community and build a strong bond that allows for a president like Donald Trump to be elected. It created a bond within the Christian community," he added.

The petition claims that some of the students involved in the project are not happy with being credited for their work in the movie. Some are reportedly considering the use of aliases on IMDB or even dropping out of the course.

The film will reportedly be shown a month before the midterm elections, causing some to speculate that there is a political motive behind the project.

Others have raised questions about Taylor's other prophecies, including his claim last year that Trump will release cures for major diseases like Alzheimer's during his second term in office.
