In a newly released prophetic message, best-selling author and Messianic rabbi Jonathan Cahn drew a stunning parallel between a modern covert strike against Iran’s nuclear program and a divine pattern found in the Book of Esther.

Cahn highlights the operation ordered by President Donald Trump—a joint U.S.–Israeli strike to destroy key parts of Iran’s nuclear infrastructure, including advanced centrifuges used to enrich uranium. The operation, he says, had a spiritual target: “the centrifuge—one of the most dangerous devices on Earth.”

“This device is the key to bringing forth nuclear fire,” Cahn explained. “And with it, the power to bring destruction to Israel and much of the world.”

But what stunned Cahn was the exact timing of the strike. He reveals that the operation was launched on June 18–19, which corresponded with Sivan 23 on the Hebrew calendar. That date is uniquely significant in the Book of Esther—it is the very day the king issued the counter-decree allowing the Jewish people to defend themselves against the genocidal plan of Haman.

“According to the biblical mystery, what was done on the 23rd day of Sivan?” Cahn asked. “The king issued a decree to nullify the decree of destruction and to prevent the destruction of the Jewish people. And now on the exact day of that decree, America and Israel go forth to destroy the device of destruction.”

Cahn insists this is no coincidence but a clear prophetic pattern. “Only God could do this. Only God could cause this. And only God could ordain such a mystery that would span thousands of years and yet perfectly ordain a military action to take place on the very day when a new decree was given to stop the destruction of the Jewish people.”

Even the language of Scripture offers clues to the connection. Cahn explains that the Hebrew word used in Esther 9:25 for Haman’s plot is “machashabah,” which can also mean “device” or “invention.” He links it to the nuclear centrifuge: “The word used for the decree of destruction could be translated as a ‘device’ of destruction. What is a nuclear weapon? It is a device of destruction.”

Cahn’s message is clear: “God is alive. His Word is alive. He is in control. And even when world leaders don’t know it, they’re being used to fulfill His purposes.”

In a time marked by upheaval, confusion and moral disintegration, believers are called to discern the times and stand unwavering in truth. The shaking we are witnessing is not random—it is deeply spiritual and prophetic.

There is no question about it: We must be living in the last days.

The pride agenda continues to permeate throughout the world, leading people astray from the truth. This dark system of confusion has crept all across the globe, which was displayed firsthand during last Saturday’s pride parade in Belfast, Ireland, as the event included an imitator of Jesus.

According to the Christian Post, a man part of the event caused quite a stir as he dressed up as Jesus, even wearing a crown of thorns.

As the Post noted, the man dressed as Jesus wore a giant gold cross in a photo between two people, one sporting the transgender flag, and another who wore a rainbow halo.

Writer Adam James Pollock posted the photo from the event to X, writing, “The Belfast Pride parade this weekend featured an individual dressed as Jesus, complete with a mock crown of thorns, dancing down the street and giving high-fives to supporters. I am so incredibly tired of this nonsense, and so sick of how normal attacks on Christianity are.”

As believers, we cannot afford to grow numb to this level of open mockery. To portray Jesus—the Son of God, our Redeemer—in such a disrespectful and distorted way is not merely offensive; it’s a blatant spiritual provocation. This kind of display is not just cultural expression—it is part of a wider agenda that seeks to normalize rebellion against God and desensitize the world to sin. We are not called to conform to this world, but to be transformed by the renewing of our minds and to stand as beacons of truth and righteousness.

Christians must remember that we are ambassadors of light in a world growing increasingly dark. The gospel doesn’t bend to culture—it confronts it with love, truth and the power of redemption. We are not called to blend in; we are called to call others out—out of deception, out of confusion, out of sin and into the glorious light of Christ.

Amid frightening darkness and disasters taking place, we must ask: Are there dark, spiritual forces trying to overtake America?

Yesterday, two frightening shootings took place on opposite ends of the nation. One took place in Midtown Manhattan in the Blackstone building. Multiple people were killed by 27-year-old gunman Shane Tamura. The building where the tragedy occurred housed both Rudin Management and the NFL headquarters. As Fox News noted, Tamura is believed to have had resentment against the NFL.

With these kinds of heinous crimes, we must wonder if there’s something to it beyond what we see in the physical world. If perhaps something dark and conniving is happening in the spiritual realm.

Prophetic voice Amanda Grace pointed to an excerpt of a Word of the Lord from July 18, 2025, “They shall attempt an attack in New York City to attempt to sculpt a hero out of the mayor’s race, says the Lord.” This means that the sinister forces are indeed behind these violent crimes, and now is the moment for the church to rise up in intercession for our nation.

Right now, the Church must not remain silent or asleep. These violent outbursts are not just societal issues—they are spiritual alarm bells. The enemy is working to sow fear, chaos and deception across America, but we are not without hope or authority. Scripture reminds us that “we wrestle not against flesh and blood” (Eph. 6:12), and in this hour, believers must rise in fervent prayer, discernment and boldness.

It’s time to stand in the gap, to plead the blood of Jesus over our cities and to push back the darkness with the light of Christ.

In a recent interview on the Mike Gallagher Show, legendary entertainer Pat Boone opened up about his surprising and heartfelt friendship with heavy metal icon Ozzy Osbourne—his former next-door neighbor.

The connection began in the late 1990s when Boone recorded a swing-style cover of Osbourne’s iconic hit “Crazy Train” for his unconventional heavy metal album. The rendition reimagined rock anthems with big band arrangements—and to Boone’s surprise, shortly after releasing the album, Osbourne moved in next door.

“I had already recorded his song,” Boone recalled. “Then here comes Ozzy shuffling down the sidewalk to get in an Escalade, and that’s how we met.” Osbourne introduced himself, casually mentioning he was on his way to an AA meeting and would have some tea when he got back. From there, a friendship blossomed.

Boone fondly remembers Osbourne as nothing like his public persona. “We call him the ‘Prince of Darkness,’ but I found him to be a prince of kindness,” Boone said, emphasizing the rock legend’s deep love for his wife Sharon and their children. Despite the satanic imagery associated with Osbourne’s stage act, Boone insists it clashed with the man’s actual beliefs and demeanor. “He was a gentle soul,” Boone said.

The connection even extended professionally: Boone’s version of “Crazy Train” became the opening theme for “The Osbournes,” the family’s reality TV show. Boone noted the irony with warmth: “Here I was doing the theme song for my next-door neighbor’s show.”

Reflecting on their time as neighbors, Boone said, “Ozzy was an actor. His image didn’t reflect his personal life.”

For Boone, the unexpected bond served as a reminder not to judge people by their public personas but by their hearts.

In what is being called a prophetic parallel to the Watergate scandal, new revelations are aligning with long-standing warnings from prophetic voice, Amanda Grace.

In a prophetic broadcast from May 14, 2024, Grace pointed to a dramatic sign of the times: “When Ben stops, Judah begins.” This phrase came after Big Ben in London mysteriously froze on Apr. 24, 2024—Passover morning—at 9 a.m. This symbolic moment, Grace explained, was a sign of governmental shift: “When the reign of Benjamin stops, the reign of Judah begins. Saul was from the tribe of Benjamin. David was from the tribe of Judah.”

The frozen clock date, 4/24/2024, added up equals 72—a direct reference to 1972, when the Watergate scandal erupted. “What is happening is bigger than Watergate,” Grace declared. “We thought Watergate was big. Well, this is going to end up being far greater.”

/**/

The prophetic message tied 1975—the year Watergate convictions were finalized—to 2025, marking exactly 50 years. “2025 is the Jubilee on the Jewish calendar, where there is a divine reversal. So what was stolen must be given back.” On cue, in July 2025, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released documents exposing corruption and manipulation within the Obama administration related to the Russia collusion hoax.

“This is why this is happening on the 50-year mark from the convictions on Watergate,” Grace emphasized. “Because the time of the thieves being brought to accountability has come.”

Another layer of the prophetic timeline connected to Proverbs 16:18—“Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.” Grace said, “June was pride month. Pride is exalted and goeth before destruction. July is the fall.” On June 18, 2025, former President Obama gave a call for “broad scale resistance” against Trump. The same day, the New York Post published evidence that rogue DOJ and FBI agents were actively trying to pile on charges against Trump based on partisan sources.

“He spoke these words right on his own head,” Grace noted. “He thinks he’s setting up Trump, but he was speaking these words over himself in a month filled with pride.”

Adding to the signs, Grace pointed out a hidden message in Obama’s campaign slogan. “If you take ‘hope and change’ and the name ‘Barack’—the first letters of the first three words and the last letter of Barack’s name—you spell the acronym ‘hack.’ Which is exactly what they attempted to do… to this country.”

These revelations connect back to prophetic words from Grace released as far back as 2019. On Feb. 23, 2020, a word stated: “Expect a scandal with Barack Obama to arise… a scandal will arise that will send him back into hiding.” Another prophecy from March 2020 warned: “The crumbling foundation of a certain party shall buckle… for what they have done in secret will most certainly be poured out before the country.”

Now, in 2025, those words seem to be unfolding before the nation’s eyes. What began as warnings years ago is now a sobering reality: a divine reversal is underway—exposing darkness, restoring truth and fulfilling the Jubilee justice long prophesied.

In a gripping and emotionally charged message, Pastor Philip Anthony Mitchell of 2819 Church called believers to wake up and prepare for the most important event in human history: the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.

Preaching from Matthew 24:29–31, Mitchell unpacked Jesus’ own words about the signs of His return, warning that the world is dangerously unprepared.

According to Matthew 24, Jesus declared that “immediately after the tribulation,” cosmic upheaval will signal His return—darkened skies, falling stars and the shaking of the heavens. Mitchell explained that this event isn’t symbolic but literal: “The sun will go dark. The moon will reflect no light. Stars will fall. The solar system will be thrown into chaos. Christ will loosen His grip on the universe.”

Mitchell warned that humanity, even now, is drifting farther from consciousness of eternity, lulled by worldly distractions. “Our preaching isn’t preparing us for this day. Your little devotionals and podcasts aren’t preparing you for this day,” he challenged.

Quoting Luke 21, he described the terrifying emotional and physical toll the second coming will bring. “Men’s hearts will fail them from fear,” Mitchell said. “Not from war, not from asteroids—but from the dread of what they see in the sky. People will literally die from fear.”

But Mitchell emphasized this day is not just a theological theory—it’s a guaranteed future. “This is not metaphor. This is not suggestion. These are the words of Christ. He cannot lie.”

In powerful prophetic language, he described Christ breaking through the blackness of space in glory. “Every eye will see Him. Not the SU-N, but the S-O-N will appear. And when He comes, you won’t have time to get ready—you must be ready.”

Mitchell also reminded the congregation that the redemption of this Second Coming is not for all, but for those who follow Christ. “He is not coming for everybody. The doctrine of inclusion is a lie. He is only coming for His elect, the redeemed.”

Mitchell quoted 2 Peter 3, where the apostle warned that “everything will be dissolved”—your marriage, your business, your platform. “Nothing you’re fighting for in this life will last,” he said. “So how should you respond? Set your affections on things above. Get your life in order. Get your house in order. He is coming.”

This message serves as a solemn reminder to the church: Jesus is not returning for the comfortable or complacent, but for those who are watchful, surrendered and redeemed. As the signs intensify and darkness grows, now is the time to examine our hearts, live with urgency and prepare for the coming of the King.

An unexpected frenzy took place during a Sean Feucht worship concert when a protestor threw smoke bombs in the middle of Feucht’s performance.

Feucht, who has been on the Let Us Worship Tour in Canada, has faced incredibly tough obstacles since heading on this latest tour. During his time in Montreal, Antifa protestors came out in front of the church where Feucht’s event was being held. This anger against Feucht eventually led to one man throwing pink smoke bombs at him while he was in the middle of singing.

Worship leader Brandon Lake recently responded to some of the backlash he’s received for his collaboration with country music artist Jelly Roll.

According to ChurchLeaders, during the Summer Worship Nights 2025 tour in Hershey, Pennsylvania with Phil Wickham, Lake talked about the struggles he’s encountered since collaborating with Jelly Roll for their song, “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” ChurchLeaders notes that this criticism has come because of Jelly Roll’s lifestyle including his use of alcohol and substances.

“It’s funny because the bigger rooms I go in, the more hate it seems to I’ve gotten from the religious folks,” Lake said. “But the last time I calls us to run into the darkness carrying our light, to not be afraid of the darkness.”

Lake stated that each person who calls Jesus their Lord and Savior at one time was drenched in darkness, and it is God’s mercy and grace that pulled them out of the pit.

“I love this Scripture in 1 Peter 2:9. It says we are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation set apart…”

Lake further said that singing “Hard Fought Hallelujah” has been powerful in the various venues he’s performed it in that otherwise would not have been filled with worship for the Lord.

“There’s one in particular that’s kind of taken me all over the country these past few months. And I’ve been able to sign it in spaces like this, except nobody came for a church service,” Lake told the audience. “Nobody came experiencing worship. But we’ve been able to sing this song of brokenness, but this still gets people to sing out hallelujah, no matter how hard it gets.”

Two thousand years ago, the invisible God stepped into time, clothed Himself in humanity and walked among us in the form of Jesus of Nazareth. This stunning truth is not merely theological—it’s geographical, historical and deeply personal.

Standing on the Mount of Olives, Rabbi Schneider reminded listeners that this very location is not just a place of biblical memory—it is a prophetic marker of the future. “Yeshua ascended to heaven from this exact spot,” he said. “They watched Him literally ascend off the ground, physically in human form… until He disappeared in the clouds.”

The account in Acts 1:9–12 tells us that after Jesus spoke to His disciples, “He was lifted up while they were looking on, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.” Two angels then appeared and declared, “This Jesus… will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

/**/

This return won’t be hidden or symbolic. It will be physical, visible and glorious. Rabbi Schneider pointed to the Hebrew prophet Zechariah, who foresaw the exact location and nature of Messiah’s return:

“In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives… and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle…” (Zech. 14:4). Zechariah 14:7 also says, “It will be a unique day… but at evening time there will be light.”

This return of Jesus will be unlike anything the world has ever experienced. The sky will be illuminated with heavenly light. His glory will strike the earth like lightning. “The whole planet is going to be engulfed in the light of God’s glory,” Schneider said. For those who know Him, it will be the day of the marriage supper of the Lamb. For those who have rejected Him, it will be a day of divine judgment.

He warned, “There’s going to be nobody in the middle. We’re either going to be caught up to meet Him… or experience retribution.”

To those who doubt, Schneider echoed the words of the apostle Peter, who insisted that these are not myths or fairy tales: “We were with Him on the holy mountain… we saw Him transfigured into blazing glory.” Paul likewise confirmed that after the resurrection, Jesus appeared to more than 500 witnesses—many of whom were still alive at the time of his writings.

But the pressing question is not merely if Jesus is returning—but are we ready for when He does?

Schneider called believers to be like the five wise virgins who kept their lamps burning in anticipation of the Bridegroom (Matt. 25). The foolish virgins were not atheists—they believed, but they grew drowsy and unprepared. Why? “Because the bridegroom delayed,” he said.

The message is clear: Don’t stop looking. Don’t lose focus. “Behold, I come quickly,” Jesus said. The light will strike, the sky will split—and on that day, your heart must be ready.

In a powerful teaching drawn from Acts 19, Rabbi Jonathan Cahn unpacks the intense spiritual conflict the Apostle Paul faced in Ephesus, where the gospel clashed with the worship of Diana—also known as Artemis—the goddess revered by the city’s inhabitants.

“The Jewish people were brought into the world to glorify God, to make Him known,” Cahn explains. “In order to do that, you have to come against and expose the gods of the world.”

Acts 19 reveals that Paul’s preaching against idols stirred fierce opposition from local craftsmen. Demetrius, a silversmith who made silver shrines of Diana, gathered his fellow workers saying, “Sir, you know that by this business we have our wealth, our income, our prosperity.”

Cahn notes the power of this idol industry: “Not only is there danger that this art trade will come into disrepute, but also that the temple of the great goddess Diana will be made of nothing—that she should even be deposed from her magnificence, whom all Asia and the world worship.”

He explains that Diana—called Artemis in Greece—was “one of the most worshiped gods in ancient times… goddess of the forest and the hills, the huntress depicted with bow and arrow.” Her temple in Ephesus, “the lady of Ephesus,” was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world.

As Cahn recounted, the riot erupted, the mob cried out repeatedly, “Great is Diana, Artemis of the Ephesians!” The shouting continued for two hours, “and they are proclaiming this throughout the city.”

The crowd’s frenzy is contrasted with Paul’s courage. Even as a violent mob dragged his companions into the theater, Paul was ready to enter, believing, “I can spread the gospel here… we’ve got a stadium even though they want to kill us.”

Cahn stresses that this spiritual conflict is ongoing, “This is a war—God on one side, the gods on the other.” The battle against idols like Diana is also a spiritual battle against the powers behind them.

Referencing Isaiah 62, he reminds believers of what is still to come: “For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep quiet, until her righteousness goes forth like brightness, and her salvation like a torch that is burning.”

Despite opposition, believers are called to advance: “We’re not here to survive… I’m here to bring the gospel… it’s not the job of the darkness to come to the light—it’s the job of the light to go to the darkness.”

Believers are still called to stand firm, expose the idols of this age and boldly carry God’s light into a world still captivated by ancient and modern deceptions. The call is clear: be unshaken, advance with faith and let the glory of God triumph over every false god.
