Fingerprints of the Shemitah

WND EXCLUSIVE

THE MACCABEAN BLUEPRINT: EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT FROM RABBI CAHN'S NEW BOOK

The Harbinger Man's 'The Book of Mysteries' a must-read devotional



He has riveted believers around the country and the world with “The Harbinger” and “The Mystery of The Shemitah.” As an an encore, messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn’s bestseller on Amazon.com, is on an entirely different scale. It’s nothing less than “hundreds of Harbingers” and spiritual secrets being revealed for the first time in history.
Rabbi Cahn described his newest work, “The Book of Mysteries,” in a recent interview with George Noory on the popular radio program “Coast to Coast.” He described the spectacular variety of the hidden biblical truths he has uncovered in his latest sensation.
“If ‘The Harbinger’ is revealing a mystery and ‘The Shemitah’ is revealing a mystery, ‘The Book of Mysteries’ is uncovering hundreds of mysteries,” he said. “Imagine, in a sense, if you were opening up this ancient chest with what I believe are some of the greatest mysteries of the ages. Mysteries of the End Times, mysteries of heaven, mysteries hidden in the writings of the rabbis, mysteries of your life even. This is a gigantic thing. And there are hundreds.”
Debuting at No. 4 on Publisher’s Weekly top hardcover section category, “The Book of Mysteries” allows the reader not only a year of remarkable biblical insight, but also the keys to unlocking mysteries that have endured for more than two millennia.
Below is an exclusive excerpt from “The Book of Mysteries”:
Day 345
THE MACCABEAN BLUEPRINT
The teacher led me through the darkness to the golden menorah, which stood in the center of its chamber. He lit the first of its seven lights.
“We’ve spoken of Chanukah,” said the teacher, “the Festival of Lights, how it commemorates the victory of God’s people over evil. … But there’s more to it. Chanukah contains a mystery. It’s not only a commemoration but a prophetic shadow. It begins when an evil king sets up an idol in the holy place, the desecration of the Temple, the ‘Abomination Desolation.’ And yet Messiah speaks of an Abomination Desolation yet to come in the last days. So Chanukah contains a template, a prophetic blueprint of that which will take place at the end of the age.”
“Beyond the abomination, what else does it foretell?”
“The account begins with the apostasy of God’s people. The people who know God and who were to keep His ways, even His ministers, apostatized, turned away from God, and embraced the ways of the godless and the current spirit of the age. And so it will be in the last days. … There will be a great falling away, a great apostasy. The account goes on to document the rise of a world culture that seeks to merge all cultures into one and to compel everyone to abandon their faith. Any culture, faith, people, or person that stands in its way, it seeks to stamp out. So it will be at the end of the age … a global culture … and the persecution of God’s people … a civilization that criminalizes the ways of God, abolishes the Word of God, overturns the order of God, blasphemes the Name of God, desecrates the sacred things of God, and wars against the people of God. So it will be at the end.”
“Is there any hope in the blueprint?” I asked.
“Always,” he said. “Though most went along with the apostasy and the darkness, there was a remnant who would not go along, who held strong, and who became the resistance … the Maccabees. And God anointed them and empowered them to overcome the darkness and to usher in the light, thus, the Festival of Lights. Learn of the Maccabean Blueprint and follow its keys.” Then he handed me the oil lamp. “Go ahead,” he said, motioning for me to light the remainder of the lights of the menorah. So I did. “And this is how you overcome,” he said. “You fight the darkness by shining into it the light of God.”
The Mission: Live today by the Maccabean Blueprint. Stand with God and don’t be moved. Go against the odds. Fight the fight. Light up the darkness.
Daniel 11:32; Zechariah 9:13–14; Ephesians 6:10–20; Revelation 12:11

THE DAY JONATHAN CAHN GAVE A PROPHETIC SIGN TO FIDEL CASTRO The story that couldn't be told until now
December 4, 2016 WND.COM
As the ashes of Fidel Castro are now laid to rest in Santiago, Cuba, I am at liberty to tell the story that’s waited years to be told.
In 1999, for the first time since he took power in 1959, Fidel Castro agreed to open up the island of Cuba for the Gospel, under much control and surveillance, and for only one month. By this he would show the world that there was ‘freedom’ in Cuba – an evangelical celebration that would span the island from the east, where Castro’s revolution began, to Revolutionary Square, Havana, where he began his rule.

Word was sent to me to open the celebration with the sounding of the shofar. I agreed.
THE MAGI PROPHECY
One week before leaving, a man from Cuba came to us. He was a pastor who had been imprisoned on the island for his faith. He gave us a strange word. He said we would walk the island of Cuba as the magi, bearing gifts, and we would enter the king’s palace.
We were told we would go to Cuba as the magi, bearing gifts, and enter the palace of the king
I prayed as to what word I should bring to the people of Cuba. What came to me was the message of Jubilee. The Jubilee concerns those who have lost their land, their family’s possession, their freedom. That was Cuba. So I came to Cuba proclaiming the God’s Jubilee, His power to set free those in bondage and to bring restoration.
But I came also with something for Fidel Castro. I purposed that if God would open the door, I would give Castro a Bible, a letter, and a shofar, the Trumpet of Jubilee, the vessel used in biblical times to proclaim freedom throughout the land.
When we landed in Cuba we had to pass through an inspection with Cuban police going over everything in our luggage. The one thing that held us up was the Jubilee shofar. They didn’t know what it was and approached it as if it was a dangerous weapon. I decided to take the shofar, and show them how it worked. I sounded it. They looked stunned, but then let us go.
In the following weeks, I spoke in churches and gatherings throughout the island to give hope and encouragement to the believers of Cuba. In place after place, Cubans came up to me and those with me to tell us that they saw visions of us coming specifically as the magi.
It was then that I realized the full significance of the word given to us before we left. As the magi had come to an unlikely place to witness the newborn life of God, so had we now come to Cuba to witness God’s newborn presence there, a revival was about to break forth. Our gift to the believers of Cuba was to strengthen and encouragement them in the Lord.
At the same time, as in the account of the magi, there was opposition to that new life. There was a throne and an aging king on that throne who was fearful that the presence of Jesus in his land would be a threat to his regime. To the people of God, the magi’s visitation was a sign of hope and blessing. But to the king it was a sign of alarm, something to be closely watched, and ultimately a portent of the end of his reign.
THE JUBILEE
The month long celebration of the Gospel opened up at the island’s eastern end as I sounded the shofar in the first public evangelical gathering in the public squares of Cuba since the revolution. The communist officials watching all around me inquired why I was blowing the “Jewish horn.” Someone else was watching – Fidel Castro.
The Evangelical Celebration of Cuba – 1999
The events were being televised throughout the island. The word soon came back to us that Castro wanted to know “Who is this man with the beard causing such a ruckus? And “What is this Jewish man doing in the churches?”
It turned out we were retracing the footsteps of Castro’s revolution – but with a very different message and of a very different revolution. I was proclaiming the Gospel and the power of God for Jubilee, for freedom and restoration.

As I spoke of these things, my translator, a man named Felix, would hesitate at times to repeat them, knowing that in virtually every place, there were secret police and informers planted in the gathering, ready to report any word considered suspicious. And just as potentially dangerous, all over the island, on church buildings, houses, walls, and taxi cabs there were now posters plastered proclaiming the words ‘El Jubileo Vienne!” “the Jubilee is Coming” or “Freedom and Release is Coming,’ above a photograph of me sounding the shofar.
THE BOY NAMED ‘FAITH’ 
Fidel Castro as a boy
On the way to Havana, I picked up a book about Fidel Castro and religion. Most people don’t’ realize that his name, ‘Fidel,’ means ‘faith.’ But as a young boy, Fidel had begun to lose faith. He told the story of how each year, at Christmas time, he would write a letter – to the magi. And every year he would get a cardboard trumpet. When he realized the magi didn’t exist, he began to lose his faith. So it all started with a boy named ‘Faith,’ who first began to lose his faith over the magi. From this would ultimately come atheism, a revolution, prison camps, firing squads, and years of suffering for an entire nation – even the banning of the celebration of Christmas. And now here we were, coming to Havana, as magi and I happened to be led to bring Fidel Castro the gift of a trumpet – of Jubilee.
‘AND EVERY MAN SHALL RETURN’
The last stop before Havana was the province of Camiguey. It was my translator’s last night of ministry. He had to return to America the next day. I had no idea when I first asked him to join me that he had been born in Cuba, and that his family lost everything in the revolution, their possessions and their ancestral land. They fled to America where he grew up. There he came to the Lord. His dream and prayer was that one day he would return to Cuba and to his family’s land and his lost inheritance, and there build a church in which he would preach the Gospel. It was ironic that as I was preaching the Jubilee to Cuba, the restoration of every man to his ancestral land, the one translating that message had himself lost his ancestral land in the Cuban revolution.
That night, they took us to the place they had chosen for us to minister in, a farm in the middle of nowhere, so much in the middle of nowhere that they had to transport the people to us by cattle car. Before ministering, I looked for my translator. He was wandering around the farm in a daze. I asked him what had happened. He had just discovered that the land to which we had been brought to minister – was his ancestral land. It was his family’s farm, the inheritance he had lost in the revolution, the place he had for years prayed he would one day return to.
So here on his last night, God had brought him home. It was what I had been preaching all along throughout the land, and what he had been all along translating – the Jubilee, the restoration – “And every man shall return to his property.” And so his journey ended with the fulfillment of that Scripture, and that prayer. And as for the church he had dreamed of building there, it had already been built, and was waiting for him to enter it. That night he preached inside the church of his ancestral land. He didn’t realize it until that moment but he had been a sign to Cuba, all along, with every footstep, of restoration.
THE CASTLE AND THE STAR
We arrived in the capital city of Havana. Every day there, I would gaze out my hotel room to see a centuries-old Spanish castle by the sea.
The Castle by the Sea, El Morro, Havana, Cuba
I was strongly led that we had to go to the castle and see what was inside. So we did. We walked through its ancient chambers. As we turned a corner, we suddenly beheld a massive painting that stunned us. The painting depicted the magi. It turned out that the castle we were in was one of the central national symbols of Cuba. And it was called “The Castle of the Three Kings.” And in the painting, standing next to the magi was a boy holding in his hand an object that looked like a shofar – the very thing I was now bringing to Havana.
The magi followed a star. That was the one thing missing from our journey. We joked, wondering if we would somehow see a star in Havana. We decided to go to Revolutionary Square, to pray on the site on which the evangelical gathering would take place the following day. We entered the Jose Marti Memorial, the towering monument that marks the square. The government official inside began to reveal that the tower had been built so that from the sky it would form a star.

The tower was built as a star – and as the star of the magi, it would mark the final destination of our journey – actually the final two destinations: the square in which God’s people would gather together the following day, and the Presidential Palace from which Fidel Castro ruled the island. And as in the nativity account, the star would be linked to the presence of Jesus on one hand – and an aging king and a dying kingdom on the other. And it was then that we realized that we had been gazing at the star every night as we looked out the window of our hotel room in Havana, ablaze with light in the darkness, marking our final destination.
The following day we stood in the midst of the multitudes gathered for the first evangelical celebration in Revolutionary Square. Fidel Castro also stood there witnessing the gathering that filled the plaza that had once been filled with Cubans welcoming his revolution to Havana. Now it was filled for a different purpose. It was there that arrangements began that would open the doors for the fulfillment of our mission.
THE PROPHETIC SIGN AND COUNTDOWN
I received an invitation to enter the Presidential Palace. I walked past the guards and was greeted by one of Castro’s assistants, who informed me that the “Comandante” was very much aware of me and was watching my journey through Cuba. I was brought inside and presented the gifts, the Bible, a note with a message I had written him, and the shofar, the Trumpet of Jubilee. Castro would later send word thanking me for the gifts. He also wanted to know how I could be Jewish and believe in Jesus. The Central Communist Committee also sent word inquiring into the shofar.
Giving the Trumpet of Jubilee to Fidel Castro was a biblical reminder of the power of God for freedom, and a prophetic sign that His power was greater than the bondages of man. The Cuban revolution had caused millions of Cubans to lose their land, their homes, their ancestral possessions, their inheritances, and their freedom – the very thing the Jubilee touches and undoes. It had all begun as the Batista government collapsed and Castro and his guerillas swept into the city of Havana at opening of 1959.
But the Jubilee Trumpet was linked to a mathematical formula to the ending of bondage The Jubilee contains a very specific countdown: “You shall count off seven sevens of years – seven times seven years – so that the seven sevens of years amounts to a period of forty nine years. Then you shall sound the trumpet….” (Leviticus 25)
What happens if one takes the biblical countdown of Jubilee and applies it to Castro’s reign, starting with the year 1959, the moment Cuba lost its freedom? Count “seven sevens of years, seven times seven years – so that the seven sevens of years amounts to a period of forty nine years.” And to what does that bring us? It brings us to the year 2008. Did anything significant happen in 2008? 2008 was the year that ended the rule of Fidel Castro. His entire reign, from 1959 to 2008, comprised the seven sevens of years, the 49 years of the countdown, ordained by God of the Jubilee – to the release of bondage.
Castro Resigns Presidency of Cuba, After 49 Years February 19, 20083:26 PM ET Tom Gielten NPR’/News Headline from February 19, 2008 ‘a period of 49 years’ (Leviticus 25)
Funeral for Fidel Castro, Revolutionary Square, Ruler of Cuba 1959-2008
What if one gets even more specific – to days and dates? What if we begin the countdown from the specific day Castro came to power and count a Jubilee of years and a Jubilee of days, seven sevens of years and of days. Castro’s reign began specifically on New Year’s Day, January 1, 1959 in the wake of Batista’s fleeing the island. If one starts the countdown from that day, January 1, 1959, and counts a Jubilee of years and a Jubilee of days, seven times seven years and seven times seven days, the countdown culminates on February 19, 2008. Was there anything significant about that day? After nearly a half century, the rule of Fidel Castro came to its end on February 19, 2008, the exact day. On the day of release, Castro was released from power, and Cuba was released from his reign.

The poster that appeared throughout Cuba: Jonathan Cahn sounding the Jubilee Trumpet and the prophetic words “The Jubilee is Coming”
When I asked the Lord for what word I was to give to Cuba, when I proclaimed the Jubilee throughout the communist nation, when I gave to Castro the Trumpet of Jubilee, and when the posters were plastered throughout the island proclaiming “El Jubileo Viene!” “The Jubilee is Coming!” behind it all was a mystery and a precise prophetic countdown to the end. The Jubilee was indeed coming, and it would come for Castro’s rule at its biblically appointed time. His reign would be timed to the end of the 49th year and to the 49th day, and not a day longer – the mathematics of the release from bondage ordained three thousand years earlier. That day would bring the most enduring iron grip of power held by any man over any nation in modern history to a definitive end.
THE OTHER KING
I have sometimes wondered since then, when Fidel Castro looked at the Jubilee Trumpet I gave him, did he ever realized its significance. I pray that before he left this life he turned back to the One from the boy named “Faith” once turned away, and found forgiveness for his sins.
In the Biblical account, the aging king Herod dies, but the new born life of Bethlehem, the life of Messiah, goes on – to overcome kingdoms and change the world.
Cubans lining up to enter the Jose Marti, ‘star’ monument, Revolutionary Square









As I watched the thousands of Cubans paying their last respects to their aged leader, as they lined up to enter the Jose Marti Memorial, I wondered if they realized that they were heading to a star. Fidel Castro’s funeral took place at that same star monument which marked the destination of our journey and which, as the star of Bethlehem had marked for the magi, had marked for us both the ending of a dying kingdom, and the birth of God’s presence, the light of hope, a light shining in the darkness.
Castro has passed away, as did King Herod, and as do all the kings and rulers of this world, and as do all those who, as Castro once did, tried to stamp out the Gospel. But the revival that began under Castro’s rule has not been stamped out. For kings and kingdoms, rulers and tyrants, all pass away, but the name of Messiah remains.
Cuban believers worshiping their king – Jesus

Castro has died – but Jesus lives. And as the dictator’s ashes were laid to rest in the city of Santiago, the presence of Jesus was and is as alive throughout the island as much as it ever was. It is even at this moment transforming the lives of Cubans in a way that Castro’s revolution, with all its guns and powers of state, never could. The Jubilee that began on our visit to the island has not stopped, but continues.
The King lives … and the Revolution goes on.

WORD FOR THE MONTH & THURS., DEC. 1~ THE HOMECOMING OF HENRY AND JEANETTE DE LANGE
Shalom, to you my Friend and Co-Minister in the Great Commission,
Not every news story is bad. This month a news story that goes against the spirit of the age. I pray it encourages you.
The Homecoming of Henry and Jeanette De Lange
Word for the Month & for Thurs., Dec. 1
Scripture: Ps. 20:3
See Message: The Bride and Groom Renewal
Jeannette and Henry were married in 1953. They were both active in their church; Henry, as a deacon and elder, and Jeannette as the church organist, and a woman involved with ministries of charity as she raised her five children. In the words of one of their children, “Mom and Dad were Christians. They loved Christ.”
In their latter days, Jeanette suffered from Alzheimer’s Disease and had to be put in a nursing home from 2011 onward. Henry would visit her every day, once a day, twice a day, and sometimes three times a day. In recent days, Jeanette’s condition worsened.
At the same time, Henry, who had come down with prostate cancer, was also put into a nursing home – the same nursing home in which Jeanette resided. They ended up in the same room.
Shortly after being put in the nursing home, Henry’s health also deteriorated. The doctor told their son Lee, that his father’s pulse was worsening, about five minutes later, the nursing home aid said, “I think your mom will go very soon.”
The family gathered around her bed and began to read to her Psalm 103. Before they finished, she had gone to be with the Lord. At that point, Lee’s brother, Keith went over to his father and said to him, ‘Mom’s gone to heaven. You don’t have to fight anymore, you can go too if you want.”
Henry was lying in his bed. He hadn’t opened his eyes that day. But after Keith spoke to him, he opened his eyes and looked over intently to where Jeannette was. He then closed his eyes and laid back down.
A few minutes later, Henry too went home to be with the Lord, minutes after the homecoming of his beloved. After 63 years of marriage, the two went home to the Lord together. And at that moment, Henry joined his beloved. The clock on the wall of their room in the nursing home came to a stop, marking the exact time of the departure.
“You couldn’t ask for anything more beautiful,” said their son.
“They wanted so badly to show their love for Christ,” said one of their children, “that they loved one another. It’s natural what they do. For them to be able to be a witness in life, also in death... That’s cool. Really cool.” So it is written: ‘Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His godly ones.’
In an age and in a culture that glorifies self-centeredness and self interest, that tells women and men that they have no real need for each other, and that disparages faithfulness, commitment, and self-sacrifice, the story of Henry and Jeanette De Lange speaks otherwise. It is the way of love and faithfulness and self-sacrifice that in the end is the beautiful, the blessed, the sweet, the joyous, and the glorious.
This month, make it your aim to live a life of faithfulness, self-sacrifice, and love. And may God greatly bless you as you do! Your brother and co-laborer
in His love and service,
Jonathan

WND EXCLUSIVE!  
Jonathan Cahn In Confrontation With Muslim Authorities On The Temple Mount

Ejected from Temple Mount … for mentioning Temple

Muslim authorities eject rabbi Jonathan Cahn, WND CEO and Editor Joseph Farah and 406 Christian pilgrims from the Temple Mount on Nov. 17, 2016, for discussing Jewish history (Photo: WND)

WASHINGTON – A week before Americans gave thanks to God for their blessings in a holiday inspired by Pilgrims who sought religious freedom in the new world, another group of mostly American pilgrims to Jerusalem was ejected from the Temple Mount by Muslim administrative authorities for mentioning that the Jewish Temple rested atop the 40-acre mount until 70 AD when it was destroyed by Rome.

That’s right – 406 Christians were forced off the Temple Mount for acknowledging that a Temple once rested there.

The incident occurred Thursday, Nov. 17, 2016, when messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn and I led the group on a tour of the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism and one of great significance for Christians as well.

When Cahn, the New York Times bestselling author of “The Harbinger,” “The Mystery of the Shemitah” and “The Book of Mysteries,” simply referenced the Temple, his talk was interrupted by a representative of the Islamic Waqf – the clerical force that patrols the site, enforcing dress codes and often prohibiting Bible reading and prayer by Christians and Jews.

Cahn was told it was unacceptable for anyone to discuss the Temple on the Temple Mount. Muslims do not refer to the Temple Mount as such but call the site Haram al-Sharif, or Nobel Sanctuary. They contend the site is famous and holy not because of the Temple, which some of them even dispute ever existed, but because Muhammad claims to have ascended to the site from the Arabian desert in a miraculous Night Journey on the back of a winged horse.

“While I was speaking, they pulled me aside and told me I had mentioned that there was a Temple on the Temple Mount – which I did – and said I was not allowed to mention the Temple,” explained Cahn. “They also accused me of mentioning America and someone clapped, which was also true. I mentioned one of the mysteries in ‘The Book of Mysteries,’ The Tenth of Av Mystery, that contains the secret of America’s existence. They also accused me of speaking of 1948, the birth of Israel, which I never did.”

Initially, just one representative of the Waqf approached Cahn during his talk – calling him away from the group for a meeting, which was soon joined by several other Waqf members, as well as two Jewish members of our Israeli tour company and me.

“As I spoke, more of the Muslim authorities converged on me, and told me that I and the group had to leave the Temple Mount immediately,” Cahn recalled. “I went back to the group and told them that this was exactly the kind of warfare on the mount I had just told them about – but that nothing stops the purposes of God.”

While Israelis provide all security for the Temple Mount, the government allows the Waqf wide latitude on conduct in and around the Al-Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock – the two prominent Muslim shrines that now rest atop the site.

Perhaps you wonder why Israel would permit such behavior on the holiest site in Judaism.

While Israel captured the Temple Mount in the 1967 Six-Day War, administrative authority over the site was soon handed over by the Jewish state to the Islamic Waqf in an effort to keep peace and demonstrate Israel’s religious tolerance and goodwill. Ever since, it has been the site of clashes, confrontations and political theater that occasionally explodes into violence.

Twice in the 1980s, before Israeli security cleared all visitors to the site, I was chased from the Temple Mount by rock-throwing members of the Waqf.

In 2014, Muslims took to the streets of Jerusalem in a “day of rage” against Israel after the Jewish state imposed entry restrictions on the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

In the fall of 1990, some 3,000 Muslims began stoning Israelis at holiday prayer at the Western Wall and the Israeli police guarding them. At least 19 people were killed in the ensuing melee.

Some of the worst conflicts in Jerusalem have started in and around the Temple Mount over the last 40 years.

On Sept. 28, 2000, Ariel Sharon, then opposition leader in the Israeli government, visited the Temple Mount with a Likud Party delegation surrounded by Israeli riot police. Sharon was only permitted to enter the compound after Israeli Interior Ministry officials had received assurances from the Palestinian Authority’s security chief that no problems would arise. Sharon visited the site during normal visiting hours. But shortly after Sharon left the site, angry demonstrations by Muslims erupted into rioting. Israeli police responded with tear gas and rubber bullets, while protesters hurled stones and other missiles, injuring 25 policemen, of whom one was seriously injured and had to be taken to hospital. At least three Palestinians were wounded by rubber bullets. It was the beginning of what came to be called the Second Intifada, or uprising. Though the sole purpose of Sharon’s visit was to assert the right of all Israelis to visit the Temple Mount, in the coming weeks, 141 Muslim Palestinians were killed, 5,984 were wounded. A dozen Israelis were killed and 65 were injured.

Meanwhile, during the latest WND tour of the Temple Mount, Cahn spoke of the Temple Mount as the spiritual center of the world – not because of the Dome of the Rock or the Al-Aqsa Mosque, but because of the Temple and what preceded it long before Jesus was crucified nearby as the Passover lambs were slaughtered. It was also the mountain on which Abraham took his son Isaac to be sacrificed at the behest of God – a sacrifice that was called off by God with Abraham telling his son: “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” Christians see that as a prophecy of Jesus’ future death on the cross. Cahn’s address to the tour group took place in an open area north of the Dome of the Rock between the Eastern Gate and the Dome of the Spirits, which some believe was the site of the Temple. He spoke also of the destruction of the Temple, the mystery of the ninth of Av, from his newest title – “The Book of Mysteries.”

He was just beginning a message on the link between the Temple and the Garden of Eden when the Waqf officials interrupted the talk. They called Cahn to speak to them about 20 yards from the bulk of the group, with me shadowing him.

“They immediately told me I had to stop talking,” Cahn recalled. “We had to leave the Temple Mount. Meanwhile, the group watched, prayed and a few took pictures and video recorded the event. When I countered that we had done nothing wrong, they said I can’t talk about the Temple on the Temple Mount. They said, ‘This is an Islamic holy site. You cannot mention the Temple.'”

The standoff lasted about five minutes until one of the Waqf officials got louder and more agitated. At that point, Cahn agreed to leave. The Waqf officials escorted the group out the gate facing the north. It regrouped near the Pools of Bethesda, where Cahn finished his message and spoke about the nature of the spiritual warfare we had just witnessed.

“To be kicked off the Temple Mount for speaking truth was an honor,” Cahn said. “Nothing stops the purposes of God. This tour had originally planned to go from the Temple Mount to the Pools of Bethesda, but it didn’t look like there would be enough time. But, without intending to, the Muslim authorities escorted the group off the Temple Mount through a short cut that led directly to the Pools of Bethesda, allowing time to go to the very next place planned for the tour.”

Word of the incident spread throughout the Muslim quarter. According to one inside source in the Muslim community, the Waqf officials were alarmed that a rabbi was addressing a group on the Temple Mount and issued orders to follow him and listen for any words they could use to eject him and his followers from the mount.

The next day, the tour convened on the Temple steps as had been originally planned in the itinerary, Cahn ascended the steps, reciting the Psalms of Ascent, and then proclaimed the site was the Temple Mount and God’s purposes for that mount would be fulfilled. Then from the top of the steps, with a prayer shawl over his head, he sang the Aaronic Blessing (from Numbers 6). Above him, through the windows of the Al Aqsa mosque, Muslims began shouting him down. And in the middle of the ancient Hebrew blessing, loudspeakers began blasting Islamic chants for the call to prayer.

Like Cahn said, this is a site of massive spiritual warfare – and, too often, physical conflict.
