Could a Disney movie actually contain a prophetic warning for our generation?
That’s exactly what best-selling author and prophetic voice Jonathan Cahn suggests in his recent message. And no, he’s not joking.
“Is it possible that Snow White could actually contain a prophetic message for our times?” Cahn asks. “A warning even—connected to the end times? Could it actually be revealing a danger that’s affecting this entire generation?”
According to Cahn, the answer is yes—and the message is far more serious than the animated whimsy might suggest.

A Woke Fairy Tale Gone Off the Rails
In his sharp style, Cahn breaks down the tangled mess of changes Disney made to its upcoming Snow White reboot.
Here’s what he notes:
- Seven Dwarfs Replaced: “Replace the seven dwarfs with seven people of diversity,” Cahn says. “So it’s now Snow White and the seven people of diversity. The seven DEI—diversity, equity and inclusion—people.”
- DEI Replacements Replaced: “By putting the DEI inclusion people, they ended up excluding dwarves… So Disney got together and again they came up with another brilliant solution. They would make the seven dwarfs fake dwarfs. Animated dwarfs.”
- CGI Confusion: “Now the real dwarfs were represented—as long as nobody admitted it was a real dwarf… So the real dwarf was a fake dwarf who only looked like a real dwarf but was a bandit.”
- Snow White’s New Origin Story: “They made up a new origin story that she was called Snow White because she was born during a snowstorm.”
- No More Prince: “The actress said…‘It’s not a love story. And that’s wonderful.’” Cahn notes: “They removed the prince. Imagine if years ago they told you that one day they’d be making Snow White and eliminate the prince.”
- No More Song: “‘Someday My Prince Will Come’ was replaced by a song about waiting for a wish,” Cahn says. “She’s not waiting for a prince. She’s waiting for a wish… which doesn’t really make sense.”
- Masculinized Heroine: “Snow White says… ‘I’m not afraid to fight.’ Then Snow White says she was taught to be ‘fearless and brave.’”
Cahn doesn’t hold back: “Snow White has become a revolutionary… She leads a revolution of all the disenfranchised DEI people and all the fake CGI people… and they set up a new monarchy led by—you guessed it—the girl boss fearless leader Snow White.”
A Cultural Crisis Reflecting End-Time Prophecy
But all the cultural comedy has a darker undercurrent. Cahn points to the prophetic implications of what Disney’s doing—and what it represents.
“In the story, Snow White is in a death-like sleep. So think about that,” he says. “Now we have a Snow White who has gotten so woke that she can’t be woken up.”
“This is what wokeness does—morally and spiritually—it doesn’t wake you up. It puts you into a death-like coma.”
Cahn cites Jesus’ own words on the Mount of Olives: “Because of immorality, the love of many shall grow cold.”
He connects this to the cultural shift away from love and family. “Girls are told: do not long for a prince. Focus on you,” Cahn says. “It’s not about love… it’s about herself.”
The message goes deeper than romance. It’s about identity, purpose and the destruction of gender roles rooted in God’s design.
“You see, the culture actually loves masculinity—as long as it’s coming from a woman,” he says. “And loves femininity—if it’s a man acting feminine.”
The Spirit Behind the Shift
Cahn drew attention to an ancient spiritual parallel.
“When I wrote ‘The Return of the Gods,’ I wrote of the spirit that has dominated our culture. The spirit of Ishtar—the ancient goddess of sexual immorality. The goddess who bends and inverts or subverts gender,” he says.
“It was written in ancient Mesopotamian inscriptions: she turns women into men and men into women. She inverts the order of men and women.”
Cahn warns that this isn’t just ideology. It’s spiritual warfare. “When a civilization moves away from God, it moves away from nature, life and reality.”
And the consequences are already showing.
The Real Prophetic Picture: A Prince Who Saves
But Cahn ends his message with hope—not in Disney, but in Christ.
“You have an evil figure filled with pride who poisons the princess through a fruit,” he says. “So the Bible reveals an evil entity called Satan… who also poisons, and through a fruit, humanity.”
“Snow White falls into a deep death-like sleep from which she cannot wake up. So sin comes into this world—evil, death and a spiritual sleep from which we cannot wake up or save ourselves.
“But then in Snow White—the real one—the prince comes. And the prince’s love for her brings redemption. He awakens her to new life.”
He continues: “This is the good news—the Messiah, Jesus—Yeshua. He’s called the Prince of Peace. The Prince of Life. And only His love can save us and wake us up so that we can come alive.”
Cahn concludes with a call to action: “Awake, wake up sleeper—and the light of Jesus the Messiah will shine on you.”
As fairy tales are rewritten to erase the prince, Cahn’s message rings loud and clear: “We do need saving. We do need a Savior. And we do need the Prince to save us.”
Because one day, the Prince will come.
