President Trump will be reading passages from 2 Chronicles 7 from the Oval Office on Tuesday as a part of a nationwide Bible reading program. 

The organizers revealed that this particular section was saved for Trump because of the long history of the chapter's call for prayer.

Trump will be reading 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 from the Oval Office between 6 PM during an event called, "America Reads the Bible," which celebrates 250 years of the Bible in America. 

The reading has reportedly been pre-recorded.

"Together, we will honor Holy Scripture, renew our faith, usher in a historic resurgence of religion on American shores, and rededicate the United States as one Nation under God," he said.

Almost 500 participants are expected to read from the Genesis to Revelations.

Public tickets are available for purchase.
