Cahn explained that just two days before the assassination, a woman representing the website, Jezebel, publicly admitted to paying witches to place a curse on Charlie Kirk. The witches reportedly performed rituals using Kirk’s birth date and even set his photograph on fire to invoke their spells. “Trust the unseen,” one witch told her, referring to the demonic forces at work.
While the physical act of violence was carried out by an individual, Cahn emphasized that the spiritual dimension cannot be ignored. “The realm of witchcraft is joined to the realm of the demonic,” he said. These demonic forces, though unseen, can influence human actions and find willing vessels to carry out destruction. Kirk’s final moments, he noted, were tragically linked to a demonic shooting, and his last word on earth was “violence,” pointing to the malevolent forces at play.
Cahn traced the spiritual template behind the assassination back to Jezebel, an ancient Middle Eastern queen notorious for witchcraft and violence against God’s prophets. In this modern case, the organization named Jezebel mirrored that ancient spirit, seeking to strike down one of America’s most outspoken defenders of biblical values. “The woman of Jezebel may have thought it was a fun thing to do,” Cahn noted, “but you don’t mess around with that realm.”
Further connecting these events to cultural shifts, Cahn highlighted the influence of Ishtar, the goddess of sexual immorality, gender confusion and violence. He drew parallels between Ishtar’s destructive role in ancient times and recent tragedies in America, including shootings tied to radicalized individuals indoctrinated into destructive ideologies. Kirk, Cahn explained, stood against these dark forces, making him a target for spiritual as well as physical attacks.
Cahn also tied Kirk’s story to Donald Trump, pointing to attempts on the president’s life and the spiritual shields protecting him. Cahn suggested that both men operate within a divine blueprint, fulfilling roles shaped by ancient mysteries and spiritual archetypes that continue to influence the political and cultural stage.
Despite the tragedy, Cahn urged believers not to respond with hatred or violence. Instead, he called for courage, faith and love in the face of darkness. Quoting Romans, he reminded viewers: “Bless those who persecute you. Bless and do not curse… Overcome evil with good.” He encouraged Christians to channel anger into righteous action, living boldly and faithfully as Charlie Kirk did in his lifetime.
