In a moment when a bullet narrowly missed taking President Donald Trump’s life, prophetic voice Jonathan Cahn sees a mystery unfolding—one that echoes the ancient priestly anointing of Scripture.

The very location of the assassination attempt against Trump itself speaks volumes. The word “butler” traces back to cup bearer—the servant in biblical times charged with protecting the king from assassination. “Butler actually is a name for the original cup bearer who saves the king from an assassination attempt,” explained Cahn in an interview with TBN. In a stunning parallel, Trump was preserved in Butler from this strike against him.

But it is what happened to his body that carries an even greater prophetic weight. In Leviticus 8, the consecration of the priests required blood to be placed on the right ear, the right thumb and the right foot. This marked them as set apart to serve God. In Butler, Trump’s experience mirrored this ancient pattern.

The bullet grazed his right ear, leaving blood precisely where the priest was anointed. His immediate reaction was to raise his right hand, his thumb touching the wound. Then, as Secret Service agents pulled him to the ground, his shoes were removed—another requirement for priests ministering before God.

“According to the ancient anointing, the blood must come on the right ear of the one being anointed for service,” Cahn explained. “The first thing Donald Trump does is he raises his hand to touch the blood on his ear. According to the anointing, it has to be the right hand … and so the first thing you see is the thumb comes up and touches the blood.”

Even the timing is striking. The Bible’s consecration ritual lasted seven days, culminating with the priest stepping into his role. The assassination attempt occurred just two days before the Republican National Convention. By biblical reckoning, the seventh day fell exactly when Trump accepted his party’s nomination. And in another symbolic alignment, he delivered his acceptance speech in front of a White House doorway backdrop that strikingly resembled the doorway of the ancient temple.

Cahn stressed that this mystery is not about elevating Trump himself, but about God’s sovereign purposes. “It’s not about Donald Trump. God has a purpose. God is sovereign. He’s amazing. And there’s a purpose for Donald Trump. It’s not that he even knows it, but the priest is to actually be part of bringing his people back to God.”

A shocking video of UAP footage shown to Congress just may show something extra eerie.

According to Fox News, lawmakers were shocked when they saw footage of an American drone strike an orb in Yemen with a Hellfire missile, with the missile bouncing off of the UAP. The object then kept proceeding forward.

A Hellfire missile was launched from an MQ-9 drone, but the weapon simply did not destroy the target.

As Fox noted, journalist George Knapp stated, “That’s a Hellfire missile smacking into that it kept going.”

What makes this even scarier is how the report said that “no known U.S. technology could withstand a Hellfire strike.”

As these encounters continue to be revealed, the questions grow louder: What exactly are we dealing with, and what does it mean for our world? Lawmakers, defense officials and journalists alike are acknowledging what many have suspected for decades—that something unexplained is happening in the skies, and it defies the limits of our known technology.

With the increase in the number of these unexplainable encounters, we cannot allow fear or speculation to rule our hearts. Scripture warns us that in the last days, signs and wonders will deceive many. Not everything that dazzles the eye is of God, and not everything that defies explanation comes from heaven. This is where the body of Christ must be anchored in truth, walking in discernment that comes only from the Holy Spirit regarding all circumstances at all times.

Waking up to worship, Katie Souza says the Lord gave her a vision that revealed how ancient gates and iron doors are standing in the way of God’s people—and how the blood of Jesus and angelic breakthrough are removing them.

For weeks, she had been unpacking Psalm 24:7–9: “Lift up your heads, O you gates; and be lifted up, you everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.” She explained that gates in the Bible don’t just refer to physical doors but to spiritual gateways in the soul and body.

“Look, there are gates and doors inside of us and around us in the spirit. Just like there’s gates and doors to houses and buildings, there’s gates and doors inside of us,” she taught. “That word ‘gates’ means to split open, to reason, to calculate. Meaning there’s gates inside of you—gates to your mind, gates to your will, gates to your emotions.”

The enemy, she explained, wages war at these gates. “If sin or trauma come into our lives, he will war for the gates to our mind, will and emotions, and the gates to our physical bodies because we have eye gates, ear gates, nose gates, mouth gates. He’ll make war with us to take possession of those gates so that he can torment your soul and make your physical body sick.”

Souza shared a testimony of a man who came to one of her meetings, desperately sick and filled with backed-up bile. “I looked at him and I saw a vision of a gate, an ancient gate, and it didn’t swing open like on a hinge. It lifted up. And living water came flowing through it. I said, ‘I command your ancient gates to be lifted up.’”

Though the man wasn’t even a believer, he immediately saw the same vision. “Within 24 hours he lost like 15 or 20 pounds of bile weight. And then over the next few days he lost the rest of it and was completely healed,” she recalled.

This is why she says many believers aren’t walking in continual healing, even though Jesus promised rivers of living water to flow from our innermost being. “If these waters are flowing continuously, that would mean we’re constantly getting healed. So why aren’t we? Because there’s an ancient gate inside of us that’s shut down. And when that happens, that means there’s an enemy at the gate.”

The key, she says, is applying the blood of Jesus to those gates. “Jesus died outside the gate. Even if there’s an ancient gate that’s so rusted and locked down and barred closed that you can’t even get it open, you can slather it with the blood and the blood will eat through that rust and eat through those locks.”

Souza also shared how the Lord has given a “Cyrus anointing” from Isaiah 45, which breaks through gates of brass and cuts through bars of iron. This, she said, is paired with angelic assistance, just as Peter was freed from prison in Acts 12 when the iron gate swung open on its own.

That morning in worship, the Lord confirmed it again through vision. “I saw a bunch of doves fill the room. Their wings turned from just gray regular feathers to gilded with gold. Then I saw this iron door—it had been removed from the hinges. It was floating up on a set of wings. The angel had come. The Holy Spirit with the wings of the dove had come and had taken up and removed that iron door.”

Immediately after, Souza says, miracles and breakthroughs began to happen in her ministry. And she believes the same is available to those who will press in, soak in the blood, and decree Psalm 24 over their lives.

“I release the Cyrus anointing that I carry…to break through doors of brass and cut through bars of iron,” she declared in prayer. “And I decree the vision I saw today where the gate was off its hinges. That iron gate is being lifted up by the wings of the angel and the Holy Spirit right now in the name of Jesus.”

For those who feel stuck, blocked or besieged, the word is clear: the iron doors are being lifted, the ancient gates are opening, and the King of glory is coming in.

Is it possible that some of the world events we are seeing happen right now are actually part of the fulfillment of prophecy? Are we actually seeing world leaders rise up for the Lord to bring them back down to reality?

Back in 2011, the late prophet Kim Clement predicted that there would be great men vying to play the role of God.

“It started way back, Napoleon Bonaparte, Mussolini, says ‘watch how they have tried. Look at Kim in Korea. These are small men, but with great appetites for will topple the short men that have endeavored to take My power and use it.'”

He further spoke right into the growing talks of a call for socialism and the removal of God from the public square.

“History without God? There can’t be no history without God. This is historic. Therefore, God says, ‘Watch how I make history.'”

In a later prophecy and prayer from 2015, Clement also predicted that those who were trying to assume power against Israel would fail, along with the downfall of leadership in Russia.

“What of this king that says he is a god? I say to you, ‘it shall be a very short time and you shall find out that you are not god. You shall find out that I am the from Russia is that one saying he is a god? I already told him that I will slay him.”

These prophecy seems to make even more sense following the meeting between China’s Xi Jinping, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. It is a reminder that some will become hungry for more and more power, but ultimately God is the only one who is in control of it all.

In the wake of the tragic shooting at the Annunciation Catholic School shooting, questions have arisen about the forces behind such violent acts. In a newly released message, Jonathan Cahn explores whether demonic entities could influence modern events and specifically targeted the Minnesota shooter, who attacked children that were praying.

Cahn identifies what he calls “ancient keys” to recognizing demonic possession, drawing parallels from biblical accounts. These include isolation, an attraction to death, violent behavior, irrationality, self-destructive tendencies and a dual relationship with the divine. Demonic influence, he explains, often manifests as both an avoidance and a perverse engagement with holiness. “On one hand, they avoid the things of God,” Cahn said, “but on the other hand, they’re drawn to the things of God to hinder the things of God, harass the things of God or desecrate the things of God.”

Applying these principles to the shooter, Cahn notes that he was a loner, fascinated with acts of violence and obsessed with bringing terror to others. His behavior was self-destructive, as he planned to end his own life in the process, and he specifically targeted a church school during prayer, showing a perverse engagement with the sacred. “By shooting the children, he’s shooting Jesus. He’s literally at war with God,” Cahn emphasized, highlighting the spiritual dimension of the violence.

The shooter’s weapons were marked with messages of hatred, including threats against Israel and President Donald Trump, indicating a symbolic war against God and His people. Cahn connects these acts to ancient demonic spirits, known as shadim, whose historical focus was on destruction—particularly of children, who represent the future of a nation. “The gods are after the children because if you get the children, you get the nation. And if you destroy the children, you destroy the future of the nation,” he said.

Cahn further explores prophetic symbolism, referencing the book of Revelation. He draws parallels between numbers associated with violence and biblical numerology, noting that the ages of victims in the school shootings in Minnesota and Nashville align with the number 666, traditionally seen as the mark of the beast. According to Cahn, these numeric patterns are not coincidental but reflect the spiritual realm’s influence on earthly events.

Ultimately, Cahn’s message is both a warning and a call to faith. He emphasizes that while demonic forces are real, God’s power is greater. “God is greater than any darkness, any spirit, anything that would come against you. He’s greater than he who is in the world.”

This event challenges us to see the ongoing conflict between good and evil, encouraging us to engage the culture with a sense of urgency and faith.

Millions of people just went through a preparation for an apocalyptic event.

On Sunday afternoon, 87 million phones in the U.K. were set to receive an “Armageddon alarm” test in case of emergency. As the BBC noted, this event was meant to ensure safety of citizens in the case of a true emergency.

The BBC reported that The United Kingdom’s Prime Minister sir Keir Starmer said that “This is an important step in keeping people safe during national emergencies.” Some recipients of the alarm noted that they received this alert in isolated locations and even while flying. Some, however, felt confusion from the sheer loudness of the alarm affecting hearing aids or disturbing quiet places like libraries.

However, the system did not work exactly as planned. As Metro reported, thousands who were expecting to receive the alarm did not have their phones go buzzing off.

A teacher, Katie Lathan, told Metro that she did not receive the alarm on her phone, stating, “Well I guess I’m out. No one thinks to tell me anything any more.”

Another person, tech expert Austin Wellbelove said that he “…received the message on my phone but there was no sound or vibration. My iPhone was set to silent, which was not overridden. I really hope these are very isolated incidents…”

While the alarm was only a test, its glitches and disruptions have left many uneasy. If confusion and frustration erupted during a simulated drill, what might happen if a genuine national emergency were to strike? The system meant to bring assurance instead sparked questions about its reliability, leaving some worried about what may unfold when lives are truly on the line.

Beyond technical failures, this begs the question why such large-scale preparations are suddenly necessary in the first place. Why is there such an urgency to ready entire nations for apocalyptic scenarios?

For those with eyes to see, this may point to something deeper than government readiness—it may reflect what Scripture has already warned about. Perhaps the signs of the end times are more prevalent than we realize, quietly unfolding in the events of our day. The question now lingers: are we truly prepared for what may come next?

Are we about to see a breakthrough when it comes to treating cancer?

According to the Economic Times, there is a new cancer vaccine that has so far proved “100% efficacy in preclinical trials.”

The Russian vaccine, Enteromix, has seen great success so far in regards to both safety and effectiveness with its ability to fight tumors. As the Economic Times reported, the results of the tests were provided during the Eastern Economic Forum by Russia’s head of Federal Medical and Biological Agency, Veronika Skvortsova.

“The research spanned several years, with the last three dedicated to mandatory preclinical studies. The vaccine is now ready for use; we are awaiting official approval.”

Skvortsova further noted that the vaccine slowed tumor growth by 60-80%, enhancing survival rates as well. So far, the vaccine has been focused on colorectal cancer, and the hope is that more versions will be made to combat brain tumors and melanoma. As the Economic Times noted, if Russia were to pull this off as a true cure for cancer, it could alter “cancer treatment as we know it.”

For years we have heard that the cure for cancer would be discovered in modern-day society. Could it be that this is the breakthrough we’ve been waiting for? The coming of these vaccines from Russia, of course, seems to be one of the most unlikely of places we could have picked. However, as Putin previously discussed with Chinese leader Xi Jinping and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, technology is increasing our ability to make advancements to our health and live even longer.

This emerging cancer vaccine could very well be the medical miracle the world has been waiting for—a development with the potential to change the way we fight and treat cancer forever. At the same time, we must remember that science often unfolds in stages, and while these results are promising, they are only the beginning. Whether this vaccine marks the dawn of a new era in cancer treatment or signals further breakthroughs yet to come, one thing is clear: we need to keep watching closely, hopeful and attentive, as this story continues to develop.

The president is calling for Americans to do something that we have gotten far away from: spending time in prayer.

As the United States prepares for our 250 year anniversary next July, The White House announced that the administration would start a “prayer and rededication of the United States as one nation under God.”

Breaking News. Spirit-Filled Stories. Subscribe to Charisma on YouTube now!

In a video on the official White House website, the president is quoted, saying:

As we prepare to celebrate two and a half centuries of freedom, I am inviting America’s great religious communities to pray for our nation and for our people. From the beginning, this has always been a country sustained and strengthened by prayer.  So important, if we bring religion back stronger, you’re going to see everything get better and better and better. You are going to see it get better and better. So, as we chart our course for the next 250 years, let us rededicate ourselves to one nation under God. 

The ask of Americans is for one million people to dedicate an hour per week to pray for the nation. If possible, the hope is that people would gather with at least ten others during this time to pray together in unity for the country.

The White House encourages Christians that this is “…an opportunity to rededicate ourselves to the principles that gave birth to this land of liberty.” They further provide sermons, prayers, and Scriptures to open up in prayer with, including 2 Chronicles 7:14, Psalm 33:12 and 1 Timothy 2:1-4.

This historic move comes right as Trump also promised to protect prayer in the school system during the Religious Liberty Commission hearing that was held earlier today at the Museum of the Bible. According to USA Today, Trump promised to “protect the Judeo-Christian values of our founding.”

The president further stated that, “To have a great nation, you have to have has to be something after we go through all of this, and that something is God.” He also encouraged others that “We’re at the very beginning of a golden age,” leaving the stage with “Amazing Grace” playing behind him.

We’ve seen a great transformation take place in our nation under the Trump administration, we are continuing to see him uplift the principles of Christianity. As the New York Post noted, the Trump administration is also looking to takeover the 9/11 museum and memorial that is at Ground Zero, something some are calling an answer to prayer.

Sally Regenhard lost her son in the 9/11 attacks and believes that “This is answered ‘s a godsend that the Trump administration, that Donald Trump, has heard the cries of the families.”

The Trump administration desires to do this takeover to make sure that “…the memory of those who perished there will be preserved for all time…”

The call for prayer and community is more than a political initiative; it’s a reminder that true national strength flows from spiritual renewal. If America is to step into another 250 years with hope, unity and blessing, it must first bow in humility before God, the One who has carried the nation this far.

AI is being utilized more and more each and every single day. The question, however, is whether or not it should be used for all purposes including for Christian entertainment and Bible study.

In a report by NPR, the AI Bible, a YouTube channel that focuses on creating Bible stories come to life using AI videos, is drawing quite the stir about its biblical accuracy.

One of the videos produced by AI Bible showcases what the Book of Revelation might play out like. The video uses the descriptions of the end times to bring to life what these events might look like. As NPR noted, AI Bible is owned by , and are reportedly being received quite well by those who are watching.

“People are starting to write in on our YouTube, telling us how these stories are really transforming their life, how they’re really impacting them spiritually and mentally,” ‘s Chief Technology Officer Ryan Beck said.

However, not all who see the videos view them in a positive light.

“It’s depressing that anyone would think that approach to biblical material was in any way spiritually edifying,” Brad East, a theology professor at Abilene Christian University said.

So, the question, then, perhaps, is whether or not these media materials are drawing people closer to Christ.

According to NPR, ‘s Vice President for Content, Max Bard says that “AI has given us access to all these tools to bring these stories to life.”

East, on the other hand, disagreed with the pursuit of continuing this kind of content, comparing it to a videogame.

While creative tools like AI can help bring stories to life and spark curiosity, it is important to remember that no form of entertainment—whether a movie, video or AI-generated content—can replace the inerrant Word of God. Media can illustrate, dramatize or visualize biblical truth, but it cannot serve as the foundation of truth itself. Scripture remains the only inspired Word, and every believer should measure what they see or hear in entertainment against the unchanging standard of the Bible.

At the same time, Christian media does have a powerful opportunity: to point people back to Jesus. If the stories we create through entertainment inspire someone to open their Bible, encounter Christ and dive deeper into His Word, then they have served a meaningful purpose.

Our goal should not be to replace Scripture, but to spark a hunger for it—leading people away from mere spectacle and toward a living relationship with the One who is the true Word made flesh.
