Is there a mystery behind the Temple Mount, the red heifer ceremony and a spiritual war happening around us right now?
In a new prophetic message, Jonathan Cahn explained how many influential voices today may be unknowingly echoing something deeper in their regard to Israel—dark transmissions from the spiritual realm. One of those voices he directly addressed included Tucker Carlson’s comments on Israel and the Temple Mount.
Referring to Carlson’s claims, Cahn said he suggested there was a “secret reason behind this war in Iran,” tying it to Israel and the Temple Mount. Cahn described Carlson’s argument as “basically doing what he does, which is innuendo… an allegation,” centered around the idea that Israel is attempting to remove the Dome of the Rock to rebuild the Temple.
“What Tucker Carlson is insinuating is that Israel… started the war to spark a holy war,” Cahn said.
He strongly rejected this narrative, calling it “all nonsense… conspiracy, lunacy, ultimately anti-Israel propaganda, anti-Semitic.”
Cahn emphasized that Israel already controls the Temple Mount and has intentionally avoided escalating conflict: “They chose… to give the mount into the hands or control of the Muslim authorities because they didn’t want there to be a holy war.”
Yet what struck him most was not just the claim itself—but its similarity to rhetoric from Hamas.
“Why is he all wrapped up in the Temple Mount?” Cahn asked. “Could he be getting it from another place?”
The Temple Mount at the Center of Global Conflict
A key focus of Cahn’s message is the Temple Mount, which he says sits at the center of both geopolitical tension and prophetic fulfillment.
Referencing the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attack, Cahn noted: “They admitted why they did it… they said it was all done because of the temple.”
He emphasized that Hamas even named the operation after the site—Al-Aqsa Flood—linking the violence directly to claims about Israel and the Temple Mount. Cahn also pointed out what he sees as a consistent theme: “They invaded Israel… because of the red cows.”
These red heifers, tied to biblical temple purification rituals, have suddenly returned to the scene in recent years.
A Pattern Beyond Politics
Cahn argues that these repeated narratives—from terrorist groups to media personalities—share a deeper, spiritual origin.
“What Tucker Carlson is saying, what Hamas is saying… makes no sense in the natural,” he said. “But in the supernatural—total.”
He went further, issuing a sobering warning: “When you hear people like Tucker Carlson… it’s not Tucker Carlson speaking… It’s the devil speaking.”
Cahn clarified he does not necessarily believe Carlson is aware of this, but suggested such messaging reflects deeper spiritual influence.
“It’s like you’re hearing… the devil’s thoughts, the devil’s words, the devil’s plans,” he said.
Why the Temple Matters in Prophecy
At the heart of Cahn’s message is a bold claim: the enemy is focused on the Temple Mount because of what it represents.
“It was prophesied in the Bible that the temple of God will actually be rebuilt,” he said. “And what will that lead to? The end times… the coming of Messiah.”
This explains the intense global fixation on Israel and Jerusalem.
“The enemy is threatened by it… because it represents the coming of the kingdom of God on earth.”
A Call to Discernment—and Hope
Cahn warns believers to use discernment in a time of spiritual confusion.
“Don’t let it into your mind… it’s the devil’s sickness,” he said. “And all things are coming against you… it’s a good sign,” Cahn said. “The intensity of the attack is telling you how great the purposes of God… ahead of you.”
This is the moment where we must look beyond headlines and recognize what may be happening in the unseen realm.
