Is there a spiritual struggle you need to know about?
At the Orlando Prophecy Summit, Jonathan Cahn spoke about the biblical connections to the unfolding events in Israel and their alignment with end-time prophecy. At the heart of this prophetic convergence lies the nation of Israel, the central place where God’s purposes are being fulfilled and where the Messiah will one day return.

Drawing from the biblical story of the dragon and the woman in Revelation 12, Cahn explains that the ancient spiritual war between the forces of God and the forces of evil has always centered on Israel. The devil, symbolized by the red dragon, seeks to destroy God’s purposes by targeting the Jewish people and the land of Israel. This cosmic battle, which began in the ancient world, continues today in the form of modern-day antisemitism and relentless attempts to undermine the existence of Israel.
“It’s not about flesh and blood,” Cahn says. “It’s about the dragon.”
Another key theme in Cahn’s message is the prophetic significance of the Jubilee cycle. Throughout Israel’s modern history, events like the British Mandate in 1917, the Six-Day War in 1967 and the recognition of Jerusalem in 2017 all coincide with the biblical Jubilee, marking 50-year cycles of restoration. Cahn points to these events as divine fulfillments of God’s promises, emphasizing that Israel’s restoration is a testament to God’s faithfulness and the truth of His Word.
However, Cahn also warns of the dark forces at work, particularly Iran, which he identifies as a key player in the spiritual battle against Israel. Iran’s opposition to Israel, fueled by a demonic spirit, fulfills the biblical prophecy of nations rising against God’s people in the last days. Yet, despite these ominous developments, Cahn reminds believers that God’s protection and the defense of Israel remain secure, with the archangel Michael standing guard.
In the same way, Cahn urges Christians to stand tall in the face of trials.
“As the end times progress, just as the Jewish people had to learn how to be fighters again, we have to learn how to be fighters again. We have to be warriors in the Spirit. We have to be powerful and courageous,” Cahn says.
As we race toward the conclusion of time, now is the moment for God’s people to stand strong, pray for Israel and keep our hopes fixed on the One above it all: Jesus Christ.
